I really have no sympathy for illegal immigrants who jumped the fence or overstayed their welcome , who just want to come here to be a burden on tax payers. I'm sorry that you have a shitty situation in your country but it's really not our problem, there are a lot of problems around the world, and i dont intend to solve all of them. Thank god for ICE and the wonderful work that they are doing by cleaning those people

 

Step 1: cause a shitload of problems all over the world

Step 2: ignore the results of said problems and let other people waste away because of them

Yes because they are the reason our tax system is broken, not companies like Amazon, or tycoons like Bezos, Trump, and Koch. 
 

Except that is is! We founded the contras to fight the communists in Central American. We created a breeding ground for cartels, and have them the perfect conditions to thrive in. We proliferated Central American with guns, money, and infrastructure that the cartels, contras, and gangs now use to control and terrorize the populations of those countries we “tried” to “protect”.

 

There are a lot of Human problems around the world, and we should a be doing at least something small to try and solve them. It is very true that we cannot not solve them, it just it. But we owe it to our shared humanity to give it a shot. The best times the world has seen has come at times of peace and openness, not at times of war.

 

We should #AbolishICE and punish those responsible for the domestic terrorism they have caused. 
 

I’m sorry what! We’ve seen this language before: 1930 in Germany, 1990 in Rwanda, in China right now. I don’t aim to model our country after those nations. That is dangerous language you are using. People should not “be cleaned”. I’m honestly horrified that you’d even use that language. I mean that’s the language of genocide right there.

Sometimes I feel like this what the US State Department’s playbook is, and really makes no sense. We went to “liberate” Afghanistan and Iraq, but instead almost every civilian hates us now, and we won’t even let the Iraqi translators who were instrumental in our effort gain green cards. It would be like going freeing a kidnapped person, and then keeping them hostage in the same house!

First of all ICE shouldn't be abolished but much more empowered.  To the point where they will have power over local authorities.  Where those sanctuary city idiots cannot block them from deporting illegals.    And btw those responsible are the obama administration.   So while I would love to see Barry behind bars.  That's not happening.    

 

And by be cleaned I obviously mean deported and not anything else.  There is so much murder and rape that is done by illegals.   You dont want me to send you links.

Obama: had policies you don't agree with --> HE SHOULD GO TO JAIL

 

Trump: more or less admitting he's perfectly cool with sexual assault, a ton more claims against him, proven law breaker, impeachable offenses stacking up, being supported again and again and again by people who have nothing to gain (and some actually only having a lot to lose) by doing so --> "Nah no problem, it's a witchhunt!"

 

It's just really unbelievable.

Yes because ICE isn’t already armed to the teeth :wacko:. ICE should not have power over local authorities, that’s a dangerous game right there too. I’m so happy that we live in a Sanctuary county, and that my college actively helps undocumented immigrants. How is Obama responsible for the immigration crisis?

 

You cannot use the word cleaned. I generally don’t tell people how to use language, but I would suggest you never use that again. That’s some shit that the likes of Hitler said. 
 

A lot of murder and rape is done by a lot of good ole white boys too, and they often get away with it on and regular business. Undocumented immigrants bring much more than crime to our country. Send me links. I’ve got some for you too.

It’s my belief that LA can host a successful edition of the Olympic Games. The NOlympics people are wrong in my opinion. I hope that our city does not let the “glory” or “prestige” of the games taint our wonderful society. The areas where the games will take place are completely safe, and fine venues. The city should worry more about traffic and venue security more than anything else.

Unless you mean antelope valley.  But l.a county is definetly not a sanctuary county.  Just Santa clarita down the freeway from you are very much against sanctuary policies.

No idea how it is there, but here, whenever there's some little piece of news like "Teenager robbed on the street", "Old lady stabbed", "Guy beaten to death" or just a lot more "X robbed by group of people"-kind of items, one can basically just guess the description of the people police is looking for...8 out of 10 times it's more or less the same. Which is why it's also dangerous for people (mostly at the very left of the spectrum) to keep telling that people shouldn't focus so much on that.

    • Now that I've had half a day to recover from the traumatic hockey loss, I can answer this question better:   Favourite Moments from Canadian Athletes (not many but they still exist) The Cross-Country skiing team delivering great performance after great performance and giving hope for a Canadian renaissance in the sport Rachel Homan finally overcoming her Olympic demons and winning a medal in curling Mikael Kingsbury winning the first dual moguls Olympic gold medal at capping his career with an Olympic gold Megan Oldham winning gold in freeski big air Seeing the emergence of Stephen Gogolev in men's figure skating Deanna Stellato-Dudek finally getting to live out her Olympic dream at 42 years old when it looked like it wouldn't be the case after an injury in a practice session Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier finally getting an Olympic medal in Ice Dance Courtney Sarault winning 4 medals after winning no medals in 2022 and almost quitting the sport in 2023 Laurent Dubreuil finally winning a medal in the 500m Valerie Maltais (at 35 years old) turning back the clock and having a career year winning 3 Olympic medals in speed skating Women's Team Pursuit winning back-to-back gold medals   Favourite Moments from International Athletes:  Lucas Pinheiro Braathen winning gold in the men's giant slalom  Johan-Olav Botn dedicating his win to Sivert Guttorm Bakken  Federica Brignone overcoming injury and winning 2 gold medals  Lisa Vittozzi winning biathlon gold on home soil  Seeing the incredible Bulgarian performances in biathlon  Elana Meyers Taylor finally winning Olympic gold  Klaebo dominance Nazgul the dog  Mikhail Shaidorov winning gold in men's figure skating  Alysa Liu winning gold after retiring from the sport in 2022 Men's Freeski big air final Seeing the emergence of  Kacper Tomasiak in ski jumping The parallel giant slalom events  Choi Ga-on winning halfpipe gold after a scary injury on her 1st run Even though it wasn't the result I wanted, the men's snowboard cross final had a thrilling finish  Francesca Lollobrigida stunning everyone with gold in the women's 3000m and 5000m In general, seeing all the countries that hadn't won a Winter Olympic medal ever or in a long time win a medal at these Games
    • My proposal:   Skimo: Only a long distance race   Freestyle skiing: remove dual moguls or make it somehow different than regular moguls Like more focus in first to finish than technical score, otherwise it doesnt fit for a parallell format. Remove team events in freestyle.   Alpine skiing: take back individual  combined and remove the team event (but if they keep it, only allow one team/nation)   Curling: consider to include a singles skills event    Cross country skiing: can be kept it as it is but if they would consider removing team sprint, replace with having one sprint of each style. They could also make 50 km as individual start, and skiathlon should change order of free/classical between each championship.   Luge/skeleton/bob: remove relays. There is already team events (2men/4men)   Figure skating: remove team event   Speed skating: replace team Pursuit with a relaty format. Remove mass start.   Short track: remove some events, maybe relay, maybe 1000m or something.   Biathlon: like the current programme but to be honest (and my proposal might be controversial) the Pursuit is maybe the best event showtime who is best actuslly over 6 shootings and in a combination of individual start and head to head but it is strange to give out medals for both sprint and for a following race with handicap start. Like the winner of round Robin curling would get a gold and then a new good in playoffs. Why not have a Pursuit based on a shooting contest or something instead of a previous medal event?   Consider to include new sport: Bandy

    • Finnish olympic committee & our sports minister said that the target was 6 medals. FOR ONCE WE ACTUALLY ACHIEVED OUR TARGET   Our possible gold medal was just 0,5 seconds away(Nordic Combined)...
