  • When did 90% ever agree on anything?

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 30 19:54:52 2023
    Well, they do now.

    The federal gov't is responsible for the immigration crisis sweeping America. That means the buck stops with Joe. He owns this and everyone knows it.

    "I've never seen a poll like this — 87% of the American public blames the federal government for the problem at the border," Meckler said on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "What was most interesting is you dig into ... the crosstabs — all the
    Democrats, breakdowns by age, party, race — what you saw was no difference within a few points across the board. "So it's almost 90% of people blame the federal government. And they expect that the states are going to have to fix it. They don't believe
    that the federal government will fix the problem."

    No shit. Who thinks Joe knows how to fix this intentional flood of illegal immigrants.

    You'd say that no matter the facts. Just another political drum-beat .

    If you think Title 42 should stay in effect, does that mean you agree
    the pandemic is ongoing?

    And no blame for the House Republicans who can't get it together for immigration reform?

    I applaud Reps for standing against the Dem proposals, which are a fraud and a whitewash.
    My position:
    No citizenship for any illegals. Those who have come here before 2010, if they have no criminal record, can get special status to stay, and should be free to visit their home country and reenter.

    Nobody wants "immigration reform" which just another BS term for a massive

    It's the news this week due to its expiration, leading to a surge of

    Biden didn't continue Trumps policy. That's the most absurd lying statement ever.

    "at various times during his administration, Biden has also relied on
    the “Remain in Mexico” policy, has locked up migrant children, and has
    kept the border closed by invoking Title 42. Now that the White House is
    on track to announce the end of the pandemic on 11 May, Title 42 can no
    longer reign and the administration is gearing up for increased
    attention at the border. Hence, their proposed new rules.

    But here’s the heart of the problem. While the number of people seeking
    help is certainly an issue, the real problem is that Trump-era thinking
    still frames our debate on immigration.

    The Biden administration needs to stop recreating Trump-era policies on
    the border. Instead, Biden must demonstrate to the American people,
    loudly and forcefully, how the Republicans continue to block meaningful
    reform and how our ageing nation is in clear need of expanded immigration."

    We wouldn't be in this border debacle had he continued.
    Biden started encouraging illegal immigration before he was even elected in the debates.

    Says who?

    No point in debate with you if you're going to lie your ass off.

    Well, not saying Biden "started encouraging illegal immigration before
    he was even elected" would be a start if you want less lying of asses off.

    To be fair to poor dumb scotty Shmoo, he can't distinguish between

    of the Shmoo's dreams, to scotty that's the same as if he said
    it out loud in Reality.

    Yes, I can. Trump did not have it under control and Biden was criticized

    All token efforts in attempt to appease and deceive.
    So, yes, he did.
    The numbers released into the US tell the undeniable truth.
    That people want to immigrate? There should be a process for that,

    There is a process.
    And it's working great.

    It is. I knew many who were granted work visas and eventually their citizenship.
    The Visa is pretty easy to obtain if you have any skills. You might not get in but many do.
    The citizenship takes awhile but it too can be done with patience.

    especially given future demographics and the importance to the economy.

    How long do you think we can sustain an economy and a deficit dependent on continued population growth?
    Longer if we have a demographic that includes young workers.

    And when you finally can't....the disaster of transitioning will of epic proportions.
    We need to start this now.

    How good is that for the planet and the environment?
    Immigration means population falls somewhere else.

    Not really true as they can probably support more children here than there.
    And it invariable means their Co2 footprint of them and their kids goes up.

    Seriously bad idea when the shit finally hits the fan.
    But you'll be dead so you just wanna get yours and f' the lil children.

    So, no complaints from you.

    Overpopulation isn't and won't be a problem for the US.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/03/american-population-growth-rate-slow/629392/

    America’s bias against immigration is self-defeating in almost every dimension. “Immigration is a geopolitical cheat code for the U.S.,” says Caleb Watney, a co-founder of the Institute for Progress, a new think
    tank in Washington, D.C. “Want to supercharge science? Immigrants bring breakthroughs, patents, and Nobel Prizes in droves. Want to stay ahead
    of China? Immigrants drive progress in semiconductors, AI, and quantum computing. Want to make America more dynamic? Immigrants launch nearly
    50 percent of U.S. billion-dollar start-ups. The rest of the world is
    begging international talent to come to their shores while we are
    slamming the door in their face.”

    End quote.

    How good is that for the planet and the environment?
    Immigration means population falls somewhere else.

    Not really true

    Literally true.

    as they can probably support more children here than
    there. And it invariable means their Co2 footprint of them and their
    kids goes up.

    Birthrates are higher in poor countries. And that footprint shrinks if
    they move to a big city from a rural area.

    Seriously bad idea when the shit finally hits the fan. But you'll
    be dead so you just wanna get yours and f' the lil children.

    You are one selfish sick SOB.
    If you're insulting me, you're losing on the merits.

    I guess I'll have to work on improving my insults.

    That's just losing more obviously.
