Illegal immigration is a serious problem but it is not a national defense emergency,
Dictators say every problem is a crisis and call out the army.
We cannot tolerate this in a free country.

Trump’s approach to the illegal immigration problem is a— backwards. We need to go back to Obama’s deportation policy plus impose heavy fines on employers including @realDonaldTrump . But if you want to say there is no problem the GOP wants you to volunteer - for the Democrats.
@realDonaldTrump Building a wall and deploying the army are just plain stupid.
So is refusing to acknowledge this or any other law enforcement problem.
Fining employers such as @realDonaldTrump would be a huge help.

Anyone who blames what’s going on in Virginia on white men understands half the problem.
As for who paid for a lot of those statues.....

@ManchesterTimes DAR is a different organization and in the North was loyal to the Union.
@ManchesterTimes It’s fine to be proud of your ancestors but celebrate the good things they did. Join the Sons of Italy, the Daughters of the American Revolution or whatever. But let’s not glorify one of the most tragic eras in American history.

I don’t buy this criticism of Biden. Busing was a very controversial solution to segregated neighborhoods created by landlords such @realdonaldtrump. Kids should be able to live in integrated neighborhoods and go to local schools.
pastemagazine.com/articles/2019/… via @pastemagazine
@realDonaldTrump @PasteMagazine Segregated schools in the North arose in segregated neighborhoods created by the likes of Fred Trump and @realDonaldTrump. MLK recognized this in Chicago. In retrospect courts should’ve spent more time going after bigoted landlords. Forced busing of kids is a lot more difficult.
@realDonaldTrump @PasteMagazine Show me one instance in which @JoeBiden discriminated in renting housing to black families. None. Then look at @realDonaldTrump.
The forced busing mess arose in part because nobody would go after politically powerful landlords who created segregated neighborhoods to begin with.

Faux choice.
Socialism (government ownership of major industries) is for fools.
But only fools think that government shouldn't regulate capitalism and help provide essential public services (public education, health insurance, roads, parks...)
fxn.ws/2MH6Qs9 #FoxBusiness
It is high time for the United States to provide an essential public service that is available in every other leading CAPITALIST country: universal health insurance.
Calling regulation of business, Social Security, public education or universal health insurance “socialism” or “democratic socialism” is a stunt worthy only of @FoxNews.
These are ways government can make CAPITALISM more effective, secure and fair and increase the public welfare.

Does anyone doubt that when Nancy Pelosi determined she was headed out of the country with 93 family members & select staff there was not a soft coup in place? Melania & Barron had been safely tucked in Florida, brought back only when it was safe. #Trump had held his ground.
2/ Nancy is imploding because she genuinely thought she would be returning from overseas triumphantly as President once Trump & Pence were “taken care of.” Her feeling is that of Global Elites: this is NWO, not America First. #OpenBorders is the way to achieve her agenda.
3/ The #Immigration currently in place is not only an invasion, it’s a WMD: #Illegals carry diseases we have not seen in centuries: BUBONIC PLAGUE, & leprosy; & more recently TUBERCULOSIS, polio, Dengue Fever, Malaria, flesh eating viruses, measles (the Gov of Oregon has

1) 24 Hours Of HELL for Nancy & Chuck...

The last 24 hours have been devastating for Nancy & Chuck for a multitude of reasons.

The following two incidents were reported.

Look who retweeted this one:



From the article linked above:

HUNTINGTON STATION,
2) Long Island (WABC) –

Police said a teenager was stabbed in an attack by three MS-13 members from his high school behind a Long Island Burger King.

The 16-year-old victim told police he was at the fast-food restaurant with friends when six of his classmates from Huntington
3) High School entered and began staring at them menacingly.

Feeling uncomfortable, the victim and a friend left, and the three gang members followed them, wielding bats and knives, police said.

An altercation broke out in the parking lot, and that's when 19-year-old Ramon

Let's talk about border security, and the border wall that Mexico definitely isn't paying for. (Because we lack the ability to compel them to do so)

THREAD.
Fact #1: If we wanted to build an effective wall, we'd need to build it about 42,000 feet (13,000 meters) tall, because 70% of people who immigrate illegally come via airplane, and overstay their visa.

Fact #2: Airplanes fly in the sky.

Source: dhs.gov/news/2018/08/0…
Fact #3: More people are leaving than arriving. Yes, some people do arrive illegally, but our net number is dropping.

Fact #4: The vast majority just come here to make some money doing low-skill labor, and then go home to their families.

A lot of people ask how we can justify being a nonprofit. How is building a border wall a charity case? We had to answer that for ourselves before we could even begin the process. We knew if donations weren't tax deductible there was no point in even starting to #FundTheWall.
A simple reading of the definition of a charity according to the IRS shows we have a solid basis: "erecting or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works;", The wall is a public work. It doesn't say WE have to build it, just that the money has goes to it GETTING built.
We could go on a tangent here, about whether a "border SYSTEM" including ground sensing radar, microphone arrays, drones, etc. is a public work. We think it probably is. For right now, we'll focus on the wall and come back to the rest once the flow of money is moving.

Here are some real ideas to fix the #immigration system.

1. Get rid of the 3 and 10 year bars and replace with a fine.
2. Put more asylum officers near the border.
3. Create a market-based cap for employment-based immigration.
4. Create an entrepreneurial startup visa.
5. Create a path to a green card for E-2 investors. Include any children brought here before age 21.
6. Let's really make a 10 year law: provisional green cards.
7. Direct DHS to allow people to take the steps to correct their immigration status.
8. Penalties besides deportation.
9. Put money and resources into fraud detection.
10. Expand guest worker programs to allow people to go back and forth.
11. Invest in antigang resources.
12. Centralized U visa databases.
13. Tax incentives for microbusiness in high unemployment areas.
14. State biz incubators.
