and under the cover of all things Trump to divert attention from this reality ...

Mollie Tibbetts murderer is an illegal immigrant.  You know, she's just that girl in Iowa they talk about on Fox news according to an MSNBC host who omitted any reference to her being killed by an illegal when she made that statement.

How many more innocent Americans have to die before we take illegal immigration seriously ?  You open border / sanctuary city people have too much blood on your hands, yet you refuse to acknowledge any culpability ...  Kate Steinle ?  Prolly already forgotten who she was or never heard of her in the first place.

And the outrage over a man driving his pregnant wife to the hospital and was captured at a gas station by ICE en route to the hospital.  That is until we find out that he was an illegal who was arrested on an outstanding murder warrant.  Still the outrage continues even though he is wanted on a murder charge ... no excuse for arresting him ...

No need for links if this is breaking news for you.  If it is, then your sources protect you from any news that speaks about illegal immigration.  Carry on.  Nothing to see here.

yeah, this stuff makes me angry because these deaths and other crimes are preventable if we had agreement that illegal immigration is a real thing that should be stopped, period.

Now back to Trump, who is still hated and still insists on making the distinction between legal and illegal immigration, as do I...

The only revenge I can see is that they vote for school levies and raise the property taxes through the roof.

Yes, to be fair if they can vote for the school board for their children's welfare, then school levies would also fall under that reasoning.

and then they could vote for a city sales tax increase to benefit the schools, too.  They could circulate school tax petitions and sign them and not be disqualified because they are not citizens or registered to vote for other elections.  Anything in the name of schools flies.

Yeah, tell me it can't happen this way.  First it was drivers licenses ...

Anyone remember the law suit of a SF high school graduate that could not read ?

It was a big deal back then.  Government immunity helped in large part to save the school district.

There are serious, adult conversations to be had about immigration policy, and I’m always down to have them.
  1. It is not at all necessarily racist, bigoted, or xenophobic to want to consider different policies which would regulate how many people should be allowed to come to the U.S. each year, and to debate what should disqualify applicants from a visa.

I just used those very words in that context yesterday and in regards to my treatment regarding any discussions on the subject.

And yes, there is a line, many, many lines.  A line begins at every port of entry, every consulate and embassy.  Problem is they are run just the way that draft boards operated before we had a lottery.  If you pissed off someone who sat on your local draftboard, your name might just move higher up the list or your classification changed and off you went to Nam.  Works in reverse in immigration.  You go down the list.  And no, a lottery is not the answer for immigration.

How many people come here should be determined by our capacity to integrate them correctly and productively in our country.  Jobs, shelter and food.  There isn't enough for the people already here.  That's the whole point.  As we grow as a country there will be more room, but we cannot instantly produce this stuff out of thin air.  That is why we need limits and order.  The pie is only so big.  We grow in a controlled and orderly way, so people do not become dependent because of lack of opportunity to be self sufficient or slip through the cracks.  No one wants to wait for anything anymore.  Long term used to mean 5 years in resource planning.  Now 5 minutes is too long to wait or even think that far into the future.

Cliche' time.  Good things come to those who wait ...

Minister who supported Trump now faces deportation under immigration crackdown
Jorge Ramirez, an Oceanside minister and immigrant in the country illegally, didn't think he would end up in line for deportation when he encouraged his daughter, a U.S. citizen, to vote for Donald Trump.

In line with his conservative religious beliefs, Ramirez considers himself a Republican, he said in an interview at Otay Mesa Detention Center, where he is awaiting deportation proceedings. Border Patrol picked him up after staking out his house early one May morning, and he's been in the detention facility since.

Ramirez said he does not know why he is being targeted for removal from the U.S. The Trump administration has said that it is targeting criminals and those who have already been ordered deported. Ramirez said he falls into neither category.

"Trump said, 'Let's keep all the good people here and all the bad people out,'" Ramirez said.

"That's great, but I'm here," Ramirez said of his detention situation. "If I'm here, anybody can be here. I'm not saying I'm the best person in the world, but I've tried to live a good life."

Ramirez worked as a satellite television technician, and frequently went to Camp Pendleton. Issues with his security clearance brought him to the attention of authorities in December.

He said he supports the Republican agenda on fiscal and social issues and that he still supports President Trump.

"Everything that he's said against immigrants - it's not that I'm in favor, but bad people don't belong here," Ramirez said. "In order to make America great, you have to have people contributing to this country."

Ramirez said he also encouraged his youngest daughter to volunteer with the campaign of Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. (...)
Illegal brown people would vote Democratic, while intelligent white folks vote Republican!
