Isn’t it pretty much just a bunch of tents? Hopefully it didn’t cost that much to build.

I don’t think it was Rosie O’Donnell

Agree

Well here’s one “criminal” they’re going after. 46-year old legal resident of New Hampshire, in the US since he was 3 and a father of 5, denied re-entry after vacation in Canada because of convictions in 2004 and 2007 for marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/very-uncertain-nh-man-denied-reentry-to-us-after-family-trip-to-canada/3953884/

Oh snap, same officer was involved in the arrest of a US citizen in a Walmart parking lot (he was filming them then was accused of assaulting them, seems like a trend @jerryskids…). Can’t remember if it was posted here (libs of Tik Tok bragged about it of course though). https://www.foxla.com/news/border-patrol-agent-charged-assault-long-beach-pico-rivera-walmart-arrest-isaiah-hodgson

Off-duty border patrol agent charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. Also entered the women’s bathroom (another tranny thread?) https://da.lacounty.gov/media/news/duty-us-border-patrol-agent-charged-assaulting-police-officer-while-resisting-arrest-long

Be careful, @EternalShinyAndChrome might ask you to link a study proving this before he believes it

Literally 10 minutes later: Lol

Well first of all I only said “I think,” so I don’t care all that much about it. But here’s some interesting data although a bit dated showing an extreme conservative lean for workers in the contraction and agriculture industries. I’m sure you’ll say “yeah but what about the owners only?” to which I’ll go back to my original point, if we can agree that conservatives are more likely than liberals to work in those industries in the first place, then Occam’s razor would tell you they’d also be more likely to eventually get to company ownership. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/charts-show-political-bias-workers-215100215.html

So safe to assume your friend will need to raise prices if there are no illegals left to hire? Do you/he think he will then have less demand for his work? On that note, that answer is kinda BS IMO anyway. He doesn’t “have to” hire illegals, based on everyone who “voted for this,” there should be a demand for people to pay more to use a company that doesn’t hire illegals. Oh that’s right, MAGA doesn’t usually put their money where their mouth is.

That post I quoted was from last week, so I remembered reading it off the top of my head when I made the original post (and thus it wasn’t hard to find). If you only meant 2016 then I apologize for misinterpreting it. See how easy it is to apologize for being wrong? Maybe you can try next time, it probably won’t be long.

Nope. @EternalShinyAndChrome wrong again.

I’ll eagerly await your apology @Strike

Did you vote for him in 2020 and 2024 but not 2016?

I honestly don’t know. I know there have been workers here that only spoke Spanish, but I’m not a racist so I don’t automatically assume they were illegal.

You live in an apartment, you don’t know how hiring contractors works. When you hire a contractor, you usually meet with the owner of the company (or someone on their sales team, often their wife but nearly 100% of the time an American citizen) first. And I’d estimate about 80% of the owners of companies I’ve received estimates from are white males. Then, the owner of the company usually hires workers that do the actual work. I suppose you could ask if they hire illegals, but I’m sure most (even conservatives) don’t.

That’s fine. Just don’t pretend it’s only Democrats that “don’t want to get rid of their slaves.” Of course Trump himself has also spoken highly of them

I think they’re less likely to, because they’re less likely to have been involved in those types of trades initially. Greater than 50%

I see Fox News is starting to run with the story about the pot farm owners “donating to Act Blue!” But at least one of them has donated to both Dems and Republicans. They’re of course also in California where more politicians are going to be Dem, this seems similar to SBF in that they probably just donated to people they thought would help their business, regardless of political party. I do think it’s interesting the owners say they didn’t “knowingly” hire illegals but then definitively stated they didn’t hire any minors. Seems like they’re basically admitting they hired illegals there. The photo I saw of the “children” didn’t look like they were particularly young, but probably some in the 16/17 range. Nonetheless, hopefully they are safe.@RaiderHaters Revenge is it true you need to be 21 to work on a pot farm?

Would you agree that a lot of owners of construction and landscaping companies that hire illegals likely lean Republican?

Libs don’t know how to do manual labor, amirite?

I don’t knowingly hire any illegals. But I would venture to guess that the majority of owners of companies in some of the industries that use illegals the most, like construction & landscaping, lean Republican.

Well, at least you acknowledge that the civil war was primarily about slavery, unlike some here.

I’m trying to find some more information on this Austin Fire Chief Joel Baker story. Kinda sounds like Bob Nicks, the author of the Facebook post, has an axe to grind. He also hasn’t been shy about talking to the media in the past. Chief Baker says he was not made aware of any requests for deployment until 7/4. And in fact when that happened one was for an assistant chief who apparently chose on his own not to go… Still, the mayor of Austin said he spoke with the Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, who characterized Austin’s response as “above and beyond.” What is being claimed as the “denial” of the deployment is actually an email from way back on June 6th (originally from someone above Baker) where Baker said not to go “anywhere.” In hindsight after a 100-year flood hits the state, probably not the best wording, but people are trying to make it seem like he said no to this specific request when there’s no evidence that’s what happened. And in fact even Nicks only claims that “some AFD personnel” had received that request, seemingly directly and thus backing up the Chief’s claim. BUT BUT DEI!!! (Coming from the side telling people not to politicize this tragedy…) https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-fire-chief-defends-response-after-accusations-of-delaying-help-for-kerr-county-flooding/
