Being a fool is universal. Having said that, pre-Trump conservatives could generally laugh at themselves and most on the left could not do the same.

mikbone Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Trump is getting hammered in court. Nikki Haley will be the default republican nominee if the rulings continue to go against him. What a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still_Small_Voice Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Nikki Haley has a lot of Democrat money in her coffers. I highly doubt I would vote for her. She would probably side with the global, elite tyrants and keep pushing their control agenda. Meanwhile we have a lot of Chinese pouring over our open border into this country. Train and arm them and you have a small, hostile army inside America ready for action. It won't be small either if the border continues to stay open for whoever to invade.

Not for armed insurrection. There is no way to tell. We do not research any of these invaders coming in. At best they are here for a better life. At worst they are here to loot the citizen's treasury, traffic in illegal drugs, slave trade and/or bring horrid change to America. If you cease to have borders, you will cease to be a nation in the future as you will lose control of your country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Haley has a better chance of defeating Biden than Trump does, mostly because leftists aren't threatened enough by her to reluctantly keep Biden in office if she's the alternative. 4 hours ago, Still_Small_Voice said: Meanwhile we have a lot of Chinese pouring over our open border into this country.

There's currently a bipartisan border security bill in the Senate that has the full backing of the USBP and would probably get enough Dem votes in both houses to pass. The GOP is trying their best to bury it in order to prevent giving Biden a win on border security. JohnsonJones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden could shut down the invasion very soon at the border if he wanted to. He reversed the border security and threw the door open for anyone to enter very soon after he was put into office. He has the authority to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the authority to do it. It was Republicans who insisted on tying border security legislation to aid for Israel and Ukraine. And from a purely political standpoint, it makes more sense to go through Congress for two reasons: 1) it forces the GOP to vote on one of the biggest issues on their platform during an election year while a Dem is in office to take credit for it, and 2) Biden is already unpopular on the left. Using executive action to close the border would make that worse. Going through Congress won't exactly make him popular either, but at least this way he can play the "compromise" card.

NeuroTypical Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 4 hours ago, LDSGator said: 99.9% of the “Chinese” that are illegal immigrants are here for a new life in America. Not for armed insurrection. Well, let’s work the math. ~37,000 Chinese national apprehensions at the border last year. Maybe that many again got through without being apprehended. That makes ~74,000 entered our country illegally last year. If 99.9% of them are not here for nefarious evil, that means .1% of them are, which means last year ~74 murderous malign evil bad Chinese bad people came into our country last year, intent on nefarious stuff.

Maths. Math indeed. This is yet another crazy story that will be forgotten in six weeks. Thinking that the Chinese have sleeper cells in America shows a cute imagination, and no actual sense how the Chinese government works. If there really was a Chinese plan to arm immigrants against our government, they’d come in nice and legally. The last thing they would want is a risky plan to cross the border. And you wouldn’t be hearing about it either. But out of all the things to worry about, this is dead last.

NeuroTypical Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Yeah, I don't care about Red Dawn notions of armed incursion. (The original was ok, the remake was boring.) But there are endless valid and real reasons nations sneak people into other nations where they operate covertly. And there are also endless valid and real reasons nations worry about the various impacts of illegal immigration. If you like our culture, standards of living, economy, and institutions and want to preserve them, there's plenty of cause to worry about the impact all of it has on that stuff. History is fascinating. They tell me the reason our southern border is so porous, has to do with the terms they agreed to during the last US Mexican war in 1847. The US won pretty soundly, but was still in the process of inventing itself, and there were several American opinions at odds with each other. How a lot of the frontier lands were going to get populated , who got to be a "US Settler", how would citizenship work, etc. In the end, we signed treaties that officially made it illegal to be illegal, but everyone knew the border would see a lot of migration. There's been a flow back and forth ever since, especially seasonal as the US became a major food producer. Trump wants to do what he's done in the past, build another massive monument to his ego with a solid gold TRUMP on it to make sure he goes down in the history books as building the wall. But his ego aside, there are plenty of good nonTrump, non-ego-driven reasons to have a robust southern border with tall walls and wide gates with good immigration laws. The wall is one component to that. LDSGator and mirkwood 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all that. In fact, why I lean towards the open borders side of the debate is because I think America is so special and wonderful that everyone should be able to take part in it. We do need border security, I’m not against that. I’m against alarmism and false stories about Chinese invasions though. Got me there.

mirkwood Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Legal immigration. If we need to reform some laws on how that works, I'm okay with that. What is going on now is unacceptable. There are terrorists that have used our current "not really a border policy" to enter our country. If you think they do not have ulterior motives you are an idiot.
