Brandon Judd of the National Border Patrol Council is right when he says on @foxandfriends that the Democrat inspired laws make it tough for us to stop people at the Border. MUST BE CHANDED, but I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency. They will be stopped!

Honest question though, without trying to provoke something: why are they not applying for citizenship or trying to enter the country in a legal way? It's not like every country simply has to allow people to cross their borders because they come by literally thousands at at time..is it?

Perhaps they aren't going to pass through the citizenship test?

 

 

Not sure about "why didn't try to enter the country in a legal way" though, maybe they just love risky challenges :p

In Indonesia, many women from rural areas worked as housemaids in the Middle East and they don't have work permit and sometimes doesn't understand Arabic (in extreme case even they are not fluent in Indonesian!). How risky is that? Maybe you can relate about the refusal of "try to enter the country in a legal way" from this case.

Well yes, but then isn't there at least something to say for not just saying "oh, ok, everyone come in"?

Emmanuel Macron landed in Bratislava to starts his official visit of Slovakia (today) and Czech Republic (tomorrow) as first president to come celebrate the mark of 100th anniversary of establishment of nowadays sadly non-existing Czechoslovakia.

 

quite logical since France was the first country to officially recognize Czechoslovakia as a sovereign independent country. :yes

Well thier specifically looking for asylum. However, a lot people (I believe) lack the means and knowledge to full out or find the correct documents.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2025 - 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

      Baffling scheduling again. It's like FIS want to drive people away.    It's the Finals, on paper your big conclusion to the season, yet it feels like "let's get this over with". Just compare how the ATP treat their finals with this.   Ok, you want to have the GS & SL on Tuesday/Wednesday. That's fine, i've been advocating for more mid-week starts to begin with. But why, oh why do you have them in the middle of the day, on a work week.  Why aren't you having them in the evening, in prime time, when people are off work. Make it a big special event, which people want to visit and not during the day in front of a 100 fans. It's not that hard to choose a place with some floodlights.     And even this week we don't have Champion League football, so the night is free from big competition. Perfect opportunity to have alpine skiing on TV right now, but noooo.
