No my logic does not do that. No one would argue that robber is a victimless crime or not inherently wrong. Being in the US "illegally" is only wrong because the government says so. I think we are all mature enough to understand that difference. I will also clarify that I do not advocate...

And one source I was able to find on the idea that immigrants, legal and otherwise, are welcomed with large government handouts. If anyone has sources that show the opposite please link to it. And back to my previous point on work permits, if you don't want any government funds going to...

This issue here isn't just that it takes "effort". The number of visas for legal immigration is far too low for the number who want to come, and where greatly reduced during the Trump years. People cannot come legally when there really is not an option for them to do so. That is where the...

On your "point 3" as others have said, you take that "few bad apples" mentality and hold it against the majority than "assault weapons" bans and closing all back country travel is completely justifiable as well. On "point 5" is deliberately didn't answer because it is really none of your damn...

Right now they cannot work, but there is also very little to no long term support of immigrants period.

A few comments on each of the points I left above. First, crossing to seek asylum (as the majority of the recent influx have been doing) is NOT illegal. Is it taking the painfully slow and often futile route of hoping for a visa via the lottery system? No. Why should immigration "not be...

I am with you there. I have served as state delegate twice but the outcome of this year's election may well determine if I keep my voter registration as Republican.

I think the GOP is (as too often the case) once again proving they are more interested in campaigning than actually governing. The senate has been negotiating major boarder security and immigration policy that includes most of what the Republicans want (in exchange for Ukraine war support) but...

My thoughts exactly. The number of court cases and investigations that failed to show a stolen election should be enough to put the lie away. Unfortunately those who cling to it will never accept that because they can just claim it a cover-up up to a cover-up to a cover-up.

It is a mixed bag. I appreciate the much better air quality that 40 years ago and having an F250 that gets mid 20s MPG is darn cool. But also almost got stranded last week because of a dead battery in the FOB of my push button start car.

Hard pressed to call much of anything someone in there 40s knows as "old " but I guess that goes with being in my 50s.

Like most posts, its the people- many of whom I have met in person as well as on line chats. It is a fun little break in my day!

Honestly not sure if this belongs in this threat or the make fun of thread, but figured worth sharing. https://www.clasiq.com/auction/1957-chevrolet-bel-air-210-4x4-/?mc_cid=f90a7f09f0&mc_eid=9c74c1bbc1

My first purchase of what will likely be many from this fine establishment.

Jan 16-21 St Lucia Sadly this year is very unlikely to top my 2023 when my sleeping bag total included 1 night in Antarctica (add 3 nights hotel and 10 on ship for that trip), 7 nights in Tanzania (plus 1 hotel), 5 nights at Lake Powell and 8 nights tenting it in Nepal (plus 2 hotel).

About convinces me I need one!

I will keep with the high school English class theme. Took AP English, mostly with the goal of avoiding college English classes. Survived via Cliff Notes and don't think I actually read a full book the entire year. Next year my sister is takes the course from the same teacher, who comments...

I really don't hear anyone in the media defending him (my main news source being left of center NPR) and most Democrats don't want him to run for re-election. But just as many Republicans really want someone besides Trump, it is very hard to remove the person at the top of the party...
