This is how I feel about most everyone here. I'm not a complete sociopath but on a scale from 1 to 10 my emotion is a 3 and you guys are like Spinal Tap. 11
Mexico is already paying a portion of our border security under new agreements where they bear the cost of the Soros caravaners while they are waiting in Mexico to legally enter, something they did not do for Obama. They are also spending $ on tightening their own southern border, the main source of the Soros caravans. They have signed new trade agreements which restore our fair treatment that NAFTA gave away, which will result in profits to Americans and our overall economy in the hundreds of billions over time. Some of this $ from Mexico will be spent building the wall. Some of it will be spent getting Trump and other non-libs elected in 2020 to keep our economy strong, and to ensure the continued building of the wall. = Mexico pays for the wall.
Just throwing another factoid out there...for the first time in the last decade, a "government shutdown" doesn't affect DoD/VA. http://www.philly.com/news/federal-...valley-forge-essential-services-20181221.html
We have different definitions of the term "win". That's ok. You do you, and I'll do me. I am curious if you know the history of how and when Soros became the boogey many though. Interesting story........
Dem Diva says LET THEM EAT CAKE! Nancy Pelosi is vacationing at Hawaii resort during shutdown By Alex Pappas | Fox News House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi vacations in Hawaii amid partial government shutdown As the government's partial shutdown drags on, Nancy Pelosi was spotted five time zones away from the House in Hawaii; Peter Doocy reports from Capitol Hill. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is spending the holidays vacationing in Hawaii, as a partial government shutdown grinds on with no resolution in sight. Fox News has confirmed that Pelosi, the House speaker-designate, is vacationing in Kona, Hawaii, and was seen there Thursday as well as Friday morning. Pelosi’s office on Friday did not return requests for comment about her whereabouts. Video Earlier Friday, The Washington Free-Beacon first reported that Pelosi was spotted at the Fairmont Orchid resort. According to that resort’s website, guests “are treated to luxury resort amenities featuring our Spa Without Walls, a 10,000 sq.ft. oceanfront swimming pool and 24-hour fitness center.” Pelosi is poised to become speaker of the House again after Democrats officially retake the majority of the House next week. Because of the partial government shutdown – which went into effect a week ago – President Trump canceled plans to spend Christmas in Florida, and stayed at the White House. White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said on "Fox & Friends" that Trump is also nixing his plans for New Year’s because of the shutdown. "He canceled his plans for Christmas, now he's canceled his plans for New Year's," Mulvaney said. "The president is very heavily engaged in this." Meanwhile, Trump warned Friday that if Democrats do not agree to his demands to fund a wall on the southern border, he will “close the Southern border entirely” and cut aid to Central American countries -- while pulling back on trade with Mexico. “We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall & also change the ridiculous immigration laws that our Country is saddled with,” he tweeted Friday morning. “Hard to believe there was a Congress & President who would approve!” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nancy-pelosi-is-vacationing-at-hawaii-resort-during-shutdown
The VA hospital is open for normal business, I can tell you that much. Anything less would cost Trump an immense amount of votes. It's bad enough for Trump as it is.
Canada has about 15% of the US population with a vast territory and they need people, there should be a program to help some of these asylum seekers find a path to Canada to live.
Canada already accepts a lot more people per capita than us. While resettling those people they have to pay for some benefits. Those benefits aren't free so why should they accept a vastly greater number than us?
Canada is really big if you can live on an iceberg or the Canadian Tundra...relocated Hondurans might have some trouble adapting eh? Places even the locals wouldn't live in.
Per capita is meaningless in this instance, a misleading statistic. Households don't take in immigrants so claiming a "per household" statistic is just ridiculous. Its like saying the US has more turtles per capita. Its not a statistic in which per capita has any bearing. The United states takes in more immigrants than anyone, period. Millions more. In fact, I would argue our larger population makes it more of a burden on us than it does Canada.
I covered Western Canada for 30 years and was able to witness the large influx of Chinese from Hong Kong into BC. The Canadian Government promoted the relocation form China with a requirement in order to gain residency they had to have several hundred thousand dollars that would be invested into a business. Chinese families would purchase beautiful home and tear them down to build multi family dwellings. You are correct in that the Canadian Government rather have immigrants that can pay there way versus large influxes that cannot because of the cost. The USA takes in more immigrants as a whole and we are very generous as a Nation as compared to others.
What's IMPORTANT is how much crime do native Canadians commit? If their crime rates are higher than illegal immigrant crime would be then they HAVE to take them and not bitch when one of them kills someone.
YOU OBVIOUSLY NEVER TOOK ANY ACCOUNTING CLASSES AS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES IS VERY ELEMENTARY.
If that is the case why is Trump trying to get the congress to pay for it? If the United States sees any money from the new trade agreement it will take a long drawn out period of time to see it. It is not like we sign the deal and immediately make 5+billion to pay for the wall. You obviously don't get how economics work. Also, it would be illegal to use any of that money to finance elections. It is not Trumps money to do what he pleases or to pass down to other candidates.
It's not meaningless when the population is being asked to foot the bill for the resettlement of all those people. Now, if someone would come up with this clever plan to get Mexico to pay for that resettlement without asking the Canadian government to pay for it and then wave their magic wand and get Mexico to pay them back, well, that would be a horse of a different color assuming I believed in magic wands.
