SECOND- Just a few post ago, your other red line was "deporting illegal aliens" and just a few posts before that, your other OTHER red line was "building the wall". How many red lines do you have??

You're just "flinging handfuls of shit against the wall to see what sticks", and it's one of the reasons why I don't take you seriously: It's obvious that even YOU don't take your posts seriously. At least, not seriously enough to think about them and catch these glaring inconsistencies.

I just demonstrated the reason why I don't take SECOND at all seriously: He just throw shit at the wall to see what sticks. The fraud seems to be him. And you, for supporting his fraudulent posts.

Quote:

Why? Racial resentment, cultural anxiety, white identity, anti-immigrant*, and anti-Muslim sentiment.- SECOND
* How can I possible be "anti-immigrant"? I married one. I even pointed it out a few posts ago!

So once again, SECOND is imputing motives to me that I don't have. I politely call it arguing with the voices in your head but rhetorically-speaking it's called "strawmanning" - arguing against an argument that your opponent isn't making. It's both invalid and dishonest. But neither of you are interested in honest dialogue, are you? Your main goal seems to be "winning by any means possible" even if it means bullying, libel, or total dishonesty.

If you want to hear my main argument about illegal aliens, and if you're prepared to respond on-point, I can repeat it, again. But since neither one of you has ever responded on-point before, I doubt that you would this time either.

Why don't we start by you telling me: WHY ARE YOU FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?

Signym, I don't have redlines. Republicans have redlines. But the silly thing about Republicans is that they cannot understand that Trump isn't protecting them from what they fear. I've been listing some of the ways Trump could actually "protect" them, but he ain't doing anything useful. He just runs his mouth and stirs up their fears. I got a very big sample of confused and blurry thinking of Republicans, yesterday, at Houston Methodist Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Baytown. The old white Texans were telling each other that MS-13 was about to come into town and murder them, except Trump and the military were the only thing stopping those killers. (Oh, the Caravan is bringing diseases, too, according to this sample of Republican voters.) Republicans are half crazy and completely ignorant. The ladies crapped in their disposable diapers when I started talking to them in Spanish. The guys got mad. I felt awful for how easily they are to upset.

But what is the explanation for Trump not deporting them, since illegal aliens are his bête noire? One possibility: he isn't ever going to do it.


If those aren't "red lines", I don't know what is. It IS possible to do meaningful things against illegal immigration without doing those SPECIFIC things that you've drawn as your "red lines".

No, you're wrong. He's increased the ICE budget, ICE has hired more staff, and 2018 deportations of of "noncriminal" illegals are up 60% over the same time last year because ICE is inspecting MORE EMPLOYERS.

Shoot - that's also wrong. That's why I asked the follow up questions, which you still haven't answered - third time's a charm?

"Images of illegals with small pox and leprosy getting mowed down as they try to invade our Godly country??? Our righteous military defending the simple, just citizens of America/MAGA heritage!?! You think that would be bad press for Trump and his base? His base just like you are eating this up. I checked out both Fux channels last night and that's all they're talking about. I still see the synagogue massacre on other channels. More telling, it's all that Trump wants to talk about so you know what he and his handlers believe it the most important. Hey - they agree with you! Caravan! Meanwhile, Dem voters are more interested in health care - that's their top concern - so the idea that a secret Dem Dark Force is paying for this doesn't work.

Sorry, you and Fux need to do better.

How do you expect to have any of these "discussions" you keep whining about when all you do is run from them? You addressed it weakly which I challenged and now you just want to turn tail.
All you do is type type type on here, couldn't hurt to type a little more, right?

Meanwhile, some light reading for you:

https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2018/10/31/george-soros-
and-migrant-caravan-how-lie-multiplied-online/1824633002
/

This is the life of a lie.

Three weeks ago, a caravan of Hondurans began walking nearly 2,000 miles to the United States. Their ranks grew as they inched north and, along with them, falsehoods grew, too. But one stands out: a conspiracy theory that liberal billionaire George Soros, a Jewish immigrant, is paying the migrants to make the journey – or even orchestrating it.

Members of Congress and the president’s son both repeated it. Conservative celebrities, too.

It also may have resonated in darker places. Cesar Sayoc, the man charged with mailing pipe bombs to Soros and other prominent critics of President Donald Trump, dwelled at length online about conspiracy theories involving the Hungarian-American philanthropist. Robert Bowers, charged with killing 11 people worshiping in a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, used his social media accounts to post extensively about the caravan, including circulating an image of refugees in Guatemala purportedly climbing into a truck with a Star of David on the side.

But it began with a handful of posts in the caravan’s early days."

There's so much more in that article that I have seen reported on elsewhere and in other countries... BUT FIRST! Let's hear how you think this caravan is not being used by Trump to get votes for the GOP this midterm.

Trump Goes There: It’s Willie Horton 2.0 For the Final Week of the Campaign

The latest video ad from the GOP is all about Luis Bracamontes, who was in the country illegally when he killed two cops, followed by images of mobs allegedly tearing down flimsy fences in order to storm into the United States. One comment:

The racist underpinnings of the ad are obvious, so there’s hardly any need to belabor them. This is Willie Horton 2.0 except worse, because it’s an official production of the Republican Party, not some outside Super PAC. But notice that the point of the ad isn’t to take down any particular Democrat, but to ruin the entire Democratic brand. The ad may be loathsome, but it’s smart.

Obama did crack down on undocumented immigrants. It was an effort to show that Democrats could control the border and make it OK for Republicans to pass a bipartisan immigration reform bill. But the Republican base quickly revolted and prevented anything from being passed.

Of course it helps them in the mid-terms. At least, until pictures get splashed across news outlets of little children looking up the barrel of a gun. That may be why there appears to be some urgency to get those people to the border BEFORE the elections. I already addressed that too.

The most effect would be on that very large group that isn't registered with either Dems or Repubs. They're called "independents" but because here in CA we have an "Independent" party we call them "no party preference". Generally speaking, that middle group leans right rather than left, but with effective advertising/ propaganda the caravan issue MIGHT be turned in favor of Dems.



See? I think I've pro-actively addressed just about every possible partisan PR aspect that you can think of. And, before you get to accusing me of saying that the caravan is being funded by Soros, let me point out that I posted no such thing. The caravaners are clearly being helped by SOMEbody; maybe just local people/governments asserting their god-given right to illegally emigrate to the USA.

I honestly don't know and don't have many good guesses. Not copping out, just I have zero hands on knowledge of the exact problems or the history of the failed "solutions." In other words, I know what you know. Having said that, cutting off help to the countries these people are coming from is idiotic - that will just add to the flight numbers.

And can we close the chapter on parent/child seperation idea? Doesn't this caravan put that fustercluck to bed forever?

I did see a reporter speak about the history of these caravans and found it very enlightening - I'll look for it.

I am perfectly okay with Trump enforcing the laws against illegal immigration. Perfectly fine. He is NOT doing that. He has 11 to 22 million illegal aliens within the U.S. and he has no plan to remove them all. No plan to even remove 1 million. Instead, he is concentrating his mind on Guatemalans walking in Mexico. (I would love to see Trump deport as few as 7,000 of those millions of illegal aliens in the week before the election, about the same number in the Caravan. All the laws permit Trump to do it.)

Trump is concentrating on pleasing or pandering to a bunch of fat, ignorant weirdos: I got a very big sample of confused and blurry thinking of Republicans, yesterday, at Houston Methodist Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Baytown. The fat old white Texans were telling each other that MS-13 was about to come into town and murder them, except Trump and the military were the only thing stopping those killers. (Oh, the Caravan is bringing diseases, too, according to this sample of Republican voters.)

OK, how about this?

Harden the border.
Instead of taking illegal migrants into custody (where we become responsible for their board and care) just deport them back into Mexico.
For those who come thru official border crossings, take them into custody. Give parents the option of sending their kids elsewhere or keeping their children with them (therefore, they are not being "detained" because they have the option of leaving.)

Sweep the nation for illegal aliens. Deport any that you find, and if you find them at a workplace, fine their employer. Heavily. Once you've done that sweep, do it again, and then again, and keep on doing it until you stop finding so many illegal aliens.

Give those with American children the option of taking their children with them back to wherever they came from, or sending them elsewhere.

Revert the definition of "refugee" back to the original definition, which mean POLITICAL refugee. Most people who ask for asylum aren't fleeing because of political violence but because their nations are clusterfucks.

Or, you can do the 5-point program that I suggested earlier.

"The messy American environment, where most people don't agree, is perfect for people like me. I CAN DO AS I PLEASE." - SECOND

The Washington Post reported on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 37,734 undocumented “noncriminal” immigrants in the 2017 fiscal year, more than double the amount in 2016.

Signym, get a clue that 38,000 for a year is a much smaller number than 22,000,000. 38,000 is a routine number. Trump needs to raise that number to 22,000,000. He has the law with him. His lack of a plan is stopping him. It is as if he does NOT want to do the job Signym elected him to do. Instead, Trump wants to arrest 7,000 Hondurans walking in Mexico. He does not have the law with him to do that.

You missed the point. Trump needs to get his ass in gear and start deporting more than a few thousand per year of those 22,000,000 illegal aliens and he needs to stop fucking around talking about stopping a Caravan. But talking for Trump is effortless while arresting people and deporting them will force Trump to exert himself. He might even have to breakout in a sweat from the effort to run a large program that deports 22,000,000. Maybe Ivanka Trump can do the work for her dad?

I see it as a test of Trump and the GOP's authenticity. I think they won't do it. They will talk. They will blame the Democrats. They will pretend they are doing the best they can. They will stall, because there is an advantage to the GOP to have this "problem" around. Talking about the problem of illegal aliens helps the GOP to win elections. Actually solving the problem, which is well within their capacity to do, would be work that the GOP wants to shirk.

What if the Fines for Employers were enough to supplement or fund ICE? Would ICE grow? Would ICE have incentive to implement enforcement? Look at what Drug Confiscation did to enforcement.

Trump is concentrating on pleasing or pandering to a bunch of fat, ignorant weirdos: I got a very big sample of confused and blurry thinking of Republicans, yesterday, at Houston Methodist Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Baytown. The fat old white Texans were telling each other that MS-13 was about to come into town and murder them, except Trump and the military were the only thing stopping those killers. (Oh, the Caravan is bringing diseases, too, according to this sample of Republican voters.)

The logic is that Trump should build the wall. He wants it. He threatened to shutdown the government if Congress does not authorize it. He should shut it down. But I don't think Trump will do what he needs to do to get that wall built.

Trump is not following his own logic that the wall is of supreme importance to stop illegal immigration. Does he not believe his own words? He claims it is true but then he does NOT act to build the wall. All he does is keep on talking, talking, talking to pander to the fears of voters like 1kiki and Signym. When will he stop talking and finish building that Wall?

As a temporary expediency in the areas where there is no Texas/Mexico Wall, I think Trump needs to use his troops. He has already started to move a few toward the border, too few. He has not sent nearly enough troops to substitute for his Wall. The logic of the situation is that Trump needs to tell his troops to stand between any illegal aliens that approach the border and protect Americans. But I don't believe Trump will give the orders. He will simply keep on talking, talking, talking to pander to the fears of voters like 1kiki and Signym.

Trump has 1,347,106 active troops. Why has he not ordered all of them to the Texas/Mexico border? Why does Trump not give the order? The logic of his situation requires that Trump give that order and stop his endless empty talking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces

And while Trump is at it, he needs to write that Executive Order that nullifies the 14th amendment and birthright citizenship. He talked long enough about it. He needs to do it. Or is he insincere about the importance of that?

Trump addresses the topic. He announced no new policy changes, despite a policy announcement being the premise that got cable networks to carry the speech live on Nov 1.

As Trump prepares to send more troops to the border, he said that asylum seekers who throw rocks should know “we will consider that a firearm. Because there’s not much difference.”

He insinuated that there’s “a lot of money” moving around in the immigrant caravan, a reference to conspiracy theories about George Soros’s secret involvement.

He said American women should fear men coming across the border, a near-verbatim use of the racist trope that men of color are a sexual threat to white women.

He claimed there are immigrants who come to America with “big medical problems before they get here.”

In response to a question about a Georgia governor’s race, he volunteered that Stacey Abrams, a Yale-educated black woman with years in public service, is not qualified to serve.

Trump promotes mass murderer’s anti-Semitic conspiracy theory

President Trump said Wednesday that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if billionaire philanthropist George Soros or someone else is funding the caravan of Central American migrants moving toward the U.S.

“I wouldn’t be surprised,” Trump told reporters outside the White House when asked if “someone” is paying for the caravan.

“George Soros?” a reporter interjected.

“I don’t know who, but I wouldn’t be surprised,” Trump said. “A lot of people say yes.”

Robert Gregory Bowers, the man accused of killing 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue over the weekend, echoed Trump.

You answered your own question: "Of course it helps them in the mid-terms."- SIGNY

Let's address this "it was money" thing.

"There were early vids of someone passing *something* out to people lining up top make the march."

SIGHOLE - "It was money. If they found out that it "wasn't" Soros/Hillary/Obama cash, then surely they must have some idea where it came from. So, where did it come from?"

That was one of the first fear mongering BS trial balloons the GOP and Trump tried, "they're being paid by Soros/Clinton/Obama.

Most honest, more professional reporting shot that down. It shouldn't have been hard since it started with Gaetz and then filtered out to all the GOP fake news web sites and social media echo chambers. IF you know anything about this system of disinformation you would know that, which I would bet money you do you just choose to act like it doesn't exist. It's the same style of connected, networked trolls that have been working since Russia made it popular. It was recently seen in the last Mexican presidential election as well (google).

For more details:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/20/world/americas/migrant-caravan-vide
o-trump.html


SIGHOLE: "OK, how about this? Harden the border. Instead of taking illegal migrants into custody (where we become responsible for their board and care) just deport them back into Mexico."

- great, how? Mechanics, logistics study please. You have any idea of the costs? You're just wild assing/guessing/wouldn't it be great if...?

SIGHOLE: "For those who come thru official border crossings, take them into custody. Give parents the option of sending their kids elsewhere or keeping their children with them (therefore, they are not being "detained" because they have the option of leaving.)"

- fine, but see above, ie COSTS.

SIGHIEL - (here's where SIGNUTS goes off the deep end and becomes Hysterical Woman) "Sweep the nation for illegal aliens. Deport any that you find, and if you find them at a workplace, fine their employer. Heavily. Once you've done that sweep, do it again, and then again, and keep on doing it until you stop finding so many illegal aliens.

- ok, as long as we can sweep the nation for low IQ people at the same time! Just to entertain you crazy idea: You have any idea how much money that would cost? Or how large the force you'd need to do that? Or how many legal immigrants would be caught up? Maybe your husband - that would be funny. Maybe we don't do this because this is America, hon.
That is also where Jack would be confronted with a $10 loaf of bread and other pies in the cost of living. And no, Jack, your wages won't magically go up.

HYSTERICAL WOMAN: "Give those with American children the option of taking their children with them back to wherever they came from, or sending them elsewhere."

- I read that and also hear you saying "how can I be anti-immigrant!?!" How hypocritical. BTW - was you dad a legal immigrant? Sounds like he fled his country and sought asylum here...? Just guessing.
Also worth noting: "or sending them elsewhere." Huh? Cancun? A sunny beach somewhere? Ok, I know, you meant relatives, but still COSTS. How would you check that out and find out if they were actual relatives? How much would that cost to "send them elsewhere?" What do you do in the mean time while you are setting up transportation? House them at the Lowest Bid Hilton?

NUTJOB: "Revert the definition of "refugee" back to the original definition, which mean POLITICAL refugee. Most people who ask for asylum aren't fleeing because of political violence but because their nations are clusterfucks."

- Because we're a nation of immigrants running from bad situations and trying to make a better one. Also, we could try not to make those nations worse. Fine: if you want to ignore the Humanitarian aspect of this then at least acknowledge the actual practical part of it: if we don't help shitholes and clusterfucks they will become our problem. The world is pretty damn small.

So completely nuts, impractical, costs too much and anti-American. You nailed it!

I heard it was Nancy Pelosi's dog.

Seriously: so now the disinformation propaganda social media forces - of which you just became a member SIGHOLE - are after Beto, check! They must feel Cruz is a crucial win and are desperate to smear his name. I guess the GOP feels like he's the key to their grip on the Senate from crumbling. They're probably right.

'Migrant Caravan' Members Sue Trump Over 'Shockingly Unconstitutional' Asylum Crackdown

President Trump's rhetoric about the organized 'caravans' of migrants plodding toward the US border has been nothing short of incendiary, as the president has threatened to send as many as 15,000 troops to the border to stop the mobs of "dangerous people" from entering the country. Among other claims, Trump hinted that he might ask soldiers to fire on the migrants if they start pelting border agents with rocks, and that he would be building "massive cities of tents" to house the would-be asylum seekers as they await their hearings in an effort to end the "abuse" of the US asylum seekers.

Well, apparently these remarks haven't sat well with members of the caravan and their shadowy financial backers, because a group of 12 migrants, six of them children, have filed a lawsuit against Trump, claiming his efforts to beef up security along the border, and threats to deprive them of asylum, represent "shockingly unconstitutional" attacks on their rights, according to Fox News.

The Fifth Amendment stipulates that "no person… shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."



So, let me see ... these non-citizens are claiming Constitutional rights from a nation in which they haven't even set foot yet. WTF?

Quote:

And ironically, none other than former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia helped cement these protections by ruling in a 1993 case that "it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in a deportation proceeding."

Twelve Honduran nationals, including six children, were named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in the US District Court in Washington, D.C. The lawsuit alleges that it is widely known that Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are enmeshed in an "undergoing a well-documented human rights crisis." Furthermore, the suit claims that Trump cannot stop migrants from entering the US when they have a credible claim of asylum, according to the Washington Examiner.

Here's more from Fox:

The lawsuit points to Trump's claim that he will prevent the caravan from entering the U.S. It claims that the president cannot stop asylum-seekers by employing the military - when they have a fair claim. The suit criticized the president's attempt at stoking "fear and hysteria," by claiming that criminals and gang members have joined the caravan.

The suit cited a Trump interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, where the president laid out plans to build tent cities to house migrants. The suit questioned the functionality of such a project, and asked if these living quarters would qualify under the Flores Agreement of 1997. The agreement protects asylum-seekers’ rights and limits how long minors can be held.

Earlier this summer, a federal judge in California rejected a request by the administration to modify Flores to allow for longer family detention. Administration officials say they have the authority to terminate the agreement, but that is likely to be tested in court.


The suit also alleges that the US can't send troops across the US-Mexico border to stop migrants from entering the US. It also argues that Trump can't demand that asylum seekers present themselves at lawful border-crossing points, as US law states that an asylum seeker can declare their intention to seek asylum anywhere (the president said last week that he intends to issue an executive order declaring that asylum seekers declare at lawful border checkpoints).

Nexus Services Inc. is funding the lawsuits through a civil rights law firm called Nexus Derechos Humanos (Human Rights) Attorneys Inc.

"Federal law enables migrants to apply for asylum in the United States. President Trump and his administration have used ‘increased enforcement,’ like separating families and lengthening detention to violate migrant rights," Mike Donovan, president of Nexus Services, said in the release.

There is another legal issue at stake, according to the lawsuit. The U.S. cannot send troops into Mexico to cut off the caravan from crossing the border. Even with the National Guard at the border, once an immigrant indicates an intention to apply for asylum, the process has begun.

Huh?

My suggestion: Mexico has already offered asylum. I would simply ask: Did you come thru Mexico? If yes, finish your asylum process in Mexico.

Quote:

The White House, Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security were all named as defendants in the suit. The lawsuit is seeking an immediate judgment for the plaintiffs and a court declaration that Trump's border plan is unconstitutional.

I am looking forward to Trump demanding anybody crossing the border be shot dead. He’s got enough guns and trigger-pullers to do that job. I sure hope he isn’t all phony tough talk because I want to see some bloody border drama on the evening news. Trump’s rhetoric doesn’t really allow for him to back down on using lethal force. But he’s probably a big chicken and won’t kill ‘em all. I hope to know this year if Trump clucks, I mean chokes, when the big decision needs to be made: Shoot to kill? Or not?

You keep saying that, but he's not going to order anybody be shot dead.

I've already spelled out more or less how it's going to go down. The only thing that might be wrong is the timeline if they can't bus all of the people up to the border before the 6th.

One day after he said the military will fire on members of a migrant caravan if they throw rocks at troops: “They won’t have to fire. What I don’t want is I don’t want these people throwing rocks,” Trump said. “If they do that with us, they’re going to be arrested for a long time,” Trump added. Since he can't arrest them in Mexico, Trump will let them in the US, then arrest them. They get in. He doesn't keep them out. Their passport into the US is a rock, which will get them in so that Trump can arrest them for throwing rocks.

That's not a passport. That's letting them come in so they can be detained and deported. Just like I said would happen in the OP.

If they're doing their jobs right, they should be fingerprinted and DNA tested too, and precluded from ever being able to have a legal right to come here in the future.

Soros Partners With Mastercard To Hand Out Money To Migrants

Billionaire investor George Soros has repeatedly denied rumors that he is helping to finance the migrant caravans making their way up from Honduras and Guatemala through Mexico with the ultimate aim of reaching the US.

But that's about to change, as the "Open Society" founder - who famously financed much of the opposition to Trump SCOTUS pick Brett Kavanaugh - is now partnering with Mastercard to hand out money (in the form of 'investment capital') to migrants, refugees and "others struggling within their communities worldwide," according to Reuters. Through their partnership, Soros is effectively providing open financial support for migrants and refugees seeking to enter the US and Europe.

Again... I'm skeptical of anything zerohedge prints, and the whole "Soros" thing just kind of loses the argument with the Leftists anyhow.


It looks like Project Veritas has video evidence of Beto O'Rourke campaign staffers diverting campaign finances to the illegals though. I wouldn't bother reading what Lefty news organizations have to say about it though because of the gross spin they put on the ordeal.

Watch the video and decide for yourself.

Spreading the propaganda like a good little worker troll.

"Migrants are often forced into lives of despair in their host communities because they cannot gain access to financial, healthcare and government services," Soros said.

"Our potential investment in this social enterprise, coupled with Mastercard’s ability to create products that serve vulnerable communities, can show how private capital can play a constructive role in solving social problems," he added.

Oh, the horror!

You still haven't come close to explaining how getting the caravan to the border before the election makes any sense for Dems. Unless of course Soros knew it would make Trump look like an even bigger dumb f*ck. "They're throwing rocks! The really roughed up the Mexican military." It is beyond me how anyone could side with such a compulsive liar unless they have an agenda with mutual needs. Or are just plain stupid.

https://nyti.ms/2Djuvx9

From Trump's Wed "rally" lie fest:

OTHER CLAIMS
Mr. Trump made a number of other claims on Wednesday that The New York Times has previously fact-checked:

He falsely claimed to have passed the “biggest tax cut for working families.” (Several rank larger.)

He falsely claimed that Democrats “want open borders, and they want to invite caravan after caravan into our country.” (Democrats support border security measures. There is no proof that they are behind the migrant caravan headed to the United States.)

He misleadingly claimed the wall on the southwest border is “already being built.” (Construction has not begun.)

He falsely claimed that the Medicare-for-all proposals “would destroy Medicare” for seniors. (The proposals would expand benefits and cut costs.)

He claimed that Republicans will “always protect Americans with pre-existing conditions, always, always.” (Actions from his administration and Republican bills show otherwise.)

He exaggerated when he claimed that lawmakers were unable to pass the Veterans Choice program “for 44 years.” (The program has existed since 2014, though he enacted changes this year.)

Medicare is currently scheduled to be insolvent in 2026, 8 years from now.

That is with 100% Confiscation, all workers are " Taxed"

And that is with 15% Participation, or receiving benefits.


How will that equation be altered with 100% Participation, 7 times the current rate?

What kind of Libtard Maths do you really expect from NYT?

Every claim of a lie they made was bogus. Every Quote they made from Trump was Truth and Fact.
