I am pretty certain Dem lawmakers would be very fine with amnesty you described and that would get their vote in Congress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real timschochet 6,430 Posted November 19, 2024 20 minutes ago, Alias Detective said: A Crime none the less right? Yes it is a crime. And @Hardcore troubadour is correct, crossing the border without papers is a felony and a federal crime. Overstaying your visa is a misdemeanor. Both are crimes, and ought to be punished. We simply disagree on the punishment. I think the punishment for these crimes, if they’re the only ones, ought to be in the nature of fines. Deportation could be on the table so long as there is a statute of limitations. But in general I don’t believe in rounding up masses of people and deporting them, whether we separate them from their families or not. I find that to be inhumane treatment and, IMO, unAmerican. Thats a fundamental position with me, it’s not gonna change no matter how many elections my side loses. But I get that it’s a minority opinion (and shrinking every day.)

I appreciate you’re trying to be thoughtful about this. In the past, even during his last Presidency, Trump has at times suggested such an option. But upon seeing the negative reaction from the far right he immediately withdrew it. Who knows? Maybe he’ll offer it again. I’ve always sensed he’s nowhere near as hardline on this stuff as his rhetoric. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafoam1 2,803 Posted November 19, 2024 Get rid of them. They are all illegal. It will take time, but just remove them and give them a kick in the ass as they leave. Tell them if they show their faces again they will be shot on sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fnord 2,051 Posted November 19, 2024 19 hours ago, Reality said: Nancy disagrees. https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1800252167967944880 Thank you for this. That video was taken while Nancy was being taken away from the Capitol on J6, correct? Prior to the events, it was claimed the Trump requested 10k-20k NG troops be present. There is no evidence of that request being made to the military or NG, other than Trump's own claims. Military leadership has verified no such requests were received. Nancy Pelosi had no authority to void a NG request made by POTUS, as he is the CIC. Normally, governors can call up NG within their own states, but DC is its own entity, so the MD governor did not have the authority, either. Pelosi IS in charge of the House Sergeant at Arms, and McConnell in charge of the Senate Sergeant at Arms. Those two Sgts sit on the Capitol Police Board (CPB), which also had authority to request NG help. Prior to the events of the day, it was turned down, due to "optics." This was not a decision made by Pelosi or McConnell, but by the CPB. FFWD to the riot selfie fest. Once a small minority of the crowd became violent and breached the Capitol, many lawmakers, R and D, called Trump for NG assistance to quell the riot, as they did not have authority to dispatch them. Trump could have done so at any time. White House counsel Pat Cippollone testified that Trump did nothing. First hand reports from the WH that day claim Trump was almost gleeful while watching it play out. His indifference as to the safety of his Vice President is well known. Trump did get on the phone with some lawmakers during the attack, but reports indicate those conversations were about delaying the vote, not securing NG help for Capitol Police. What you see in that video is Pelosi acting like a leader should: taking responsibility for not being more proactive. That is absolutely on her and McConnell. However, what happened once the riot began is 100% on Donald Trump. Any other CIC would have been on the phone instantly. He did nothing but watch it happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall the argument by people was that how deportations were defined was changed under Obama. I don’t recall the conversation being around do we send in the national guard to raid restaurants. Look Trump is prez now and all his polices are no longer talk, they are to be put into place. Do you expect everyone just to go along with what he says and say “gee let’s just see what happens ”? I expect conservatives to say, "just get rid of them"... and Leftists to call anything he does, "racist". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
