Trump's immigration policies may put people at risk of coronavirus – experts
Surveillance in ‘sanctuary cities’ and increased Ice presence could deter immigrants from accessing healthcarewww.theguardian.com
I am in agreement with Trump on this, but for different reasons. He is using the lame excuse that he wants to save jobs for Americans when he knows that immigrants do the dirty work that lazy Americans won't do. He will try to make it permanent while farmers are destroying their crops that cannot be salvaged due to lack of help.
See post 276
Eh. That isn't gonna happen.
I’m sure libs will do their best to make sure of that.
But someday the welfare system will crash under its own weight and bleeding hearts will have nothing to say about it
I know it won't happen but it plays well with his followers, yes? Or he hopes that it does.
In my view immigration from Central America has nothing to do with bleeding hearts. If any of you took highschool
history, you would learn that we have some responsibility for the influx, as our governments have supported dictators
over the years in the name of oil, and the populace suffered and is still suffering as these dictators sucked up the aid
that we gave them for their people.
You mean, during the Cold War, when commie guerrillas were trying to take over nations to implement totalitarian genocidal tyrannies?
No, I mean exactly what I said.
But it was during the Cold War, and you didn't mention that?
That's like saying America is bad for dropping bombs on Germany, but not mentioning that it as during WWII.
Context matters.
We are discussing Central America, not the cold war. We are discussing aid and support for oil, not bombing.
Central American countries had internal strife and we supported the dictators.
While our enemies were supporting commie revolutionaries.
Do they have any responsibility for that? Or do you just Blame America?
I don't blame America. I said that we have some responsibility because we wanted their oil and didn't give a shit about anything else. They had revolution like in Viet Nam and you remember that, yes? We got our asses whupped.
You are certainly blaming America for the shit condition of Latin America, and your denial is not credible.
You are giving the Soviets a pass, probably because you are motivated by anti-Americanism AND you are just more sympathetic to communists than to your fellow citizens.
The point of all this is, that your reasons for opposing the ban on Immigration,
you won't admit.
No, I agree with the ban to protect us from the spread of disease and not to protect jobs as the excuse used by Trump. Farmers are destroying crops today because of a lack of help and immigrants are afraid to work lest they are caught and deported. And guess what? Your prices will rise for farm products.
The ban should be extended indefinitely and a small rise is farm products, if it happens, is a small price to pay.
Always a small price to you trumpers. I am talking about a large increase. U.S. made jeans cost upwards of $90 dollars today if you can find them. That is not a small price.
They dont have to cost $90 if there is a competative market
but why are they so cheap From china?
slave wages, no environmental controls, and other things that libs claim to be against
That is exactly why our manufacturing left the U.S. They were not competitive, and the unions kept striking for more money.
Why should Americans with a middle class lifestyle have to compete with slave labor in china?
will you be happy when more people join the welfare class so that you can buy cheaper bluejeans?
Wanna pay $90 bucks for jeans? In the 1980s an auto worker was paid $90,000 per year. No wonder the manufacturers left.
Again, chinese workers live in cramped dorms, with little pay and no retirement benefits
thats not the life I expect for Americans just so you can have cheap bluejeans
So buy American made jeans, yes? Nobody is forcing you to buy Chinese.
Trade policy is a government function. You know that. Pretending otherwise, is a cowardly lie.
Well of course it is and it is that policy that is hurting us.
When you say something like "no one is stopping you" you are trying to make Trade Policy an individual responsibility.
"Free Trade" has not worked out for US, the way it was supposed to. We need new and better Trade Policy. Trump ran on that, and I hope he is making progress.
The sad thing is that whatever trump is for knee-jerk trump haters are against
The good thing is that smart people are not buying his bullshit and are aware that he is a grifter and nothing more.
What bullshit?
your side expected hundreds of thousands of deaths and libs are going to be disappointed about that
the media predicted that like Italy hospitals in America were going to be overrun with patients and people were going to be left to die for lack of respirators or ICU beds
but that didnt happen
where you have been blaming trump we now know he deserves credit instead
