Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries

You're a little late to the party. I've already said that the US bombs terrorists that attack us.

I am happy you acknowledge lying about the US not bombing anyone in years.

 
I don't know. You'll have to ask the guy who started this sub-thread.

Why would I ask someone else to explain what you meant in your statement?



No, I've read the whole discussion, it was your statement that didn't make any sense.

Foreign travelers are not going to just accept that they might not be admitted into the US because they made a critical statement about a politician, or risk being arbitrarily detained by CBP when entering the country; tourists will spend their money visiting some other country that doesn't present the same risk or frustration.

Once a tourist is turned off from visiting somewhere and decides to travel elsewhere, that revenue may never come back. Three and a half more years of tRump may cripple tourism for far longer than you think.
 
so you're a mind reader now? You have no clue what I do and don't give a damn about.

What I do give a damn about is that our laws are followed by our leaders and that they respect and uphold our constitution. Trump does neither. He's nothing more than a wannabe dictator.

I care (a) that our laws are obeyed by our citizens and, when they're not, that they be caught and punished and (b) that our leaders are subject to the same laws and punishment. (Side comment: If you feel that way, how could you vote for Biden or Harris?)
Trump does neither.
Trump does what he thinks is necessary knowing that, if any act isn't legal, the courts will correct him. And they do.
He's nothing more than a wannabe dictator.
Give it up. You guys screamed that all through the campaign and it didn't work. Sane people know it's a load of crap.
 
The court has ruled multiple times its civil and not criminal that’s why they don’t get a court appointed attorney.
"In civil cases, by contrast, cases are initiated (suits are filed) by a private party (the plaintiff)"
When someone overstays a visa their removal is not initiated by a private citizen filing suit against them.

And I've discussed with you enough in the past that I'm not going to do it again on a technical point of law. Suffice it to say that it's illegal to overstay a visa, some people who do so commit other crimes, and our immigration laws should be observed even if it causes a drop in tourist revenue.
 
It doesn’t matter what you discuss, you’re wrong.

b)Improper time or place; civil penaltiesAny alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of—
(1)
at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or
(2)
twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection.
Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed.
 
Typical right-wing Trump-worshipping nonsense.
 
I voted for Harris because she was the much lesser of 2 evils. What crimes is she alleged to have committed? While not convicted of anything substantive I saw enough of Trump - both while he was President and as a NYC resident living there in the 70s and 80s - to give lots of credence to the very serious allegations against him. And that's to say nothing of my opinion of his general suitability to be President.

As to your comment about "Trump does what he thinks is necessary knowing that, if any act isn't legal, the courts will correct him. And they do." you do realize that is in direct violation of his oath of office right?
 
Think now, slowly.
Why? I don't want to post like you. Think now. About what you just wrote. And how you left yourself wide open.

The 8% loss is coming from tourists spending money on hotel rooms, food and local attractions. You're not making sense. As usual.

Your hatred for foreigners has clouded your thinking. It's slow.
 
Typical right-wing Trump-worshipping nonsense.
LOL! He says that as if he and his fellow travelers don't just spout whatever the Party tells them to say, or to think, even as the Democrat Party crumbles for the lack of a single idea. Sounds an awful lot like just a whining loser.
 
As to your comment about "Trump does what he thinks is necessary knowing that, if any act isn't legal, the courts will correct him. And they do." you do realize that is in direct violation of his oath of office right?
No, it isn't. The oath reads,
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

To preserve, protect and defend the Constitution requires enforcing the laws of the country that are passed under that Constitution. Trump enforces those laws, even if Democrats don't like it, with our immigration laws being a major focus today.

The single arbiter of what's legal under our Constitution, is the Supreme Court. Trump does what he believes is necessary to enforce those laws. Others react in one of two ways. They either rant, piss and moan because he doesn't cave in to what they want him to do, or they sue. Suing brings the dispute where it belongs so that the Constitutionality of the action or the law is confirmed or, if not confirmed, serves as a guide to the Legislative and Administrative branches to revise the law.

IOW, testing a law or an action doesn't violate the oath. By clarifying the law, it strengthens the Constitution.
 
The President doesn’t get to clarify the law. The courts have that authority.

I notice you ignored the statute on civil infractions lmao

I thought I made that simple enough for you. I'll try once more. If this doesn't work you'll have to get an "F:
  • Our laws are enforced.
  • The number of tourists that come here goes down.
  • The income of the tourism industry goes down.
  • The taxes paid by people and businesses in the tourism industry goes down.
  • The money lost is the cost of enforcing our laws.
  • The cost to improve a thing is an investment in that thing. I like them
  • Enforcing our laws makes the country safer, and that's an improvement
  • A temporary drop in tourism revenue caused by enforcing our laws is an investment in the country.
Your hatred for foreigners has clouded your thinking. It's slow.
I have no hatred for foreigners. In my former life, I worked very well with people all over the world. I liked them so much I've been married to one of them for almost half a century.
 
Absurdist theorizing in the reality of the many willfully contempt actions taken by the admin in violation of court orders from Garcia to NIH funding. The place is burning down while you say the fireplace has embers. This is not some single play by the admin but a total assault on all post WWII institutions, save the DoD. Don has violated the oath so many times it is not funny, but this is all on top of the fact that he keeps using the same ploy with his base. He promised to deport millions, now he can't get there without a massive police state action AND the crushing of agriculture, big and small, so he is TACOing on the cheap labor assaults.....except in CA where he has to maintain the example....as long as the courts allow....as long as he follows the courts.
 
I thought
You don't.

You make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Hatred has captured your mind.

You treat foreigners differently than natives. You see foreigners as criminals. Sick shit.

I'm talking about international tourism You're spewing nonsensical hatred.
 
Since you claim that it happened, perhaps you can support the idea that skilled people have stopped seeking legal immigration to the U.S.
So you haven’t read any of the posts here where various professionals have been erroneously detained/deported? Os seen the drop in tourism out of fear of same?
 
If this is true, it's wild how you can just turn on the news and be more educated than the "Commander in Chief."


You can sleep through a month of newscasts and be more up to date than Donald Trump.

Saw a piece on line (can't remember where) that demonstrates he has a grade four reading comprehension level.

That explains his stupid phrasing and idiotic ramblings. He's just dumb!


And evil.
 


I thought MAGA hated Puerto Rico

context free, gets to make broad theoretical calls, plays it as the "testing of the waters", nothing to see here, the gaslight shines enough light....don't you think so?
