That’s all we’ll and good, but that’s not what our president said, is it.
Now if the Dems were smart (and they're not) they'd give trump his wall in exchange for all the other goodies on their immigrant wishlist. And trump would take that Deal. But the Dems are not smart and they are going to #resist themselves into another disappointing midterm election cycle.
Two things:
1) I don't necessarily think Trump is toast if he fails to deliver on his immigration policy promises. I almost think it's better for him if very little changes and then he can just point his finger at the Democrats and continue to make comments that stoke his base's xenophobia.
2) I can scarcely fathom a situation in which I would agree that giving Trump his wall is a smart plan. The wall is an absolutely terrible idea and an obscene waste of resources. Even if Trump were to say "give me my wall, and I'll cave on everything else immigration related," I would tell him to eat a dick.

I have suspected all along the 'Big beautiful wall' would always be more symbolism than substance. You're starting to see comments from Trump hinting that the wall doesn't need to be non stop along the whole border.Cameron wrote:Dr. Strangelove wrote:

So 30K a year and paying taxes is not enough. SO what is a good wage for a farm worker full time in California?
As long as they have the ability to do that(Sanctuary state), there is no reason to raise wages just because someone is, in fact, a US citizen and wages will stay low.
Limit the access of these illegal immigrant workers and wages will rise to attract the needed legal workers.
Where do you get this information?? There are plenty of workers?? Why do you think wages for farm workers have grown 13% in 5 years, which is twice as fast as average for the state? It's true that there are a lot of Mexicans (the vast majority LEGAL by the way) picking produce, but how exactly is that "driving down wages" as Strangelove says, when as I've just demonstrated, wages are growing at least 2 times faster than the state average?

Don't be deliberately ignorant. Walmart buys in quantity and can (and does) absolutely dictate price to a large degree.

Re: Our shithole leader acting very presidential again
If I'm guaranteed to sell 15 bushels of apples at 4 dollars apiece, and other buyers are only going to buy 5 of my bushels for 6 dollars apiece, I know what I'm taking in the buying and selling of fruit. My apples rotting due to lack of sales does nothing for me. It's why Walmart can indeed set prices. So big, can't fail? not quite, but you get the picture.

Re: Our shithole leader acting very presidential again
Always count on at least one poster to come to the aid and got to the What Aboutism playbook.
Yet not a peep about Trump blaming the Obama administration for moving the US embassy from the toney Mayfair area to a new location south of the Thames by the Bush2 administration. The new location was chosen for security reasons.
But our shit for brains pussy grabber President spews more outright lies.

Re: Our shithole leader acting very presidential again
Just because a 19th century socialist wrote a poem that for whatever reason they stuck on the base of the Statue of Liberty 20 years after she died doesn't mean that we should use that as the basis for our 21st century immigration policies.DWags wrote:LooseGoose wrote:Amazing how we can call their people "wretched refuse" and no one raises a stink.....but call their countries a shithole and the world just blew up.

We don't need millions of people from shithole countries coming here we have enough of shitholeans (both domestic and imported) already.

Re: Our shithole leader acting very presidential again
Based on the pussy grabber's proposed budget we'll be needing to import a lot more foreign educated professionals.
10% cut in Federal spending on IT research projects like facial recognition where the US still leads while China is increasing its spending by 15%. That gives them a 25% jump in funding.
What can go wrong.

Re: Our shithole leader acting very presidential again
So the US reduces its spending by 10% and our trading partner with whom is working to be the technology leader by 15% isn’t at least a 25% budget difference. According to China watchers their spending on technology research was already more than the US and they are increasing it.
I understand your life has been and always will be more important than those of the folks who enlist because they need the job and need help paying for education.
Somebody has to sacrifice Travis and if all the folks who voted for Trump or Bush2 would have had their kids in uniform you think we’d had a decades long presence in Iraq or the current saber rattling woofin’about the size of buttons?
I don’t insult you Travis but you seem to live in a world where you think there is an altruistic being that creates all kinds of technology for nothing. Here’s a hint, it’s Federal Government funding and Trumps proposed cuts and China’s aggressive move to fill the void is going to having the US looking at the ass of China as the lead dog.

Yes. That is correct. That is not a 25% budget difference without more context. Let me give you an example.
I spend 1,000,000 dollars. I reduce spending by 10% so now I spend 900,000 dollars. You spend 1 dollar. You increase spending by 15% so now you spend $1.15. I went from spending $999,999 more than you to spending $898,998.85 more than you. That is not a 25% gain. You can’t just add the two percentages together and come up with a grand total like that. That’s not how it works.

Travis, here’s a little light reading on Trump’s effort to pull out of world leadership in multiple areas.
At best it’s disturbing. I think it’s terrifying.
