Counter proposal

Counter, counter proposal:

Cut off all free aid to those groups and hammer any company that hires illegals with major federal fines and charges and they’ll all be arrested or flee back to their nation of origin within a year.

As long as the incentives for them and the politicians who brought them here are better to remain than for them to leave they’ll keep what they’ve been doing.

But the GOPe doesn’t really want them to leave so legislation is out as they run out the clock on another Trump term so it’ll have to be DOJ and executive orders or nothing will change.

Americans spilled a lot of blood liberating those islands during WW2. They certainly owe us a favor or two.

Great book. It’s horrifying what those brave men went through.

Have you read the recent one his son Henry wrote? It’s all material that was edited out of Sledge’s original manuscript due to length, but it still adds plenty substance to his story. I found it fascinating to say the least.

What’s it called? With The Old Breed is probably one of my favorite WW2 books I have ever read.

if not being able to do 2nd grade math is ‘understandable’ then this country is more fricked than I imagined

$7.5m for only 75 people is highway robbery. 750 illegal aliens should have been the minimum.

So much for the grand negotiator.

If they do you watch and Survivor will put them on their show and someone who cane to US illegally will win $1,000,000

Would be cool if they had a true Survivor and let them play to the death.

Why pay a country to take them when we can drop them in their own country for free?

How is this deal beneficial to the US?
