It's sad that you JCD such unnecessary (and illegal) detentions.

Again, even Canada saw the issue...

It's a question of interpretation?

I don't think Trump said anything related to the situation.
1. I was saying I don't trust Trump about anything, not about this.
2. Whether or not the woman was in the US legally, there was no fucking reason to detain her. She had her trip home -- just let her leave. Why should she be thrown in a cell for three weeks?
3. I didn't see any interpretive rule either. And interpretive rules are not laws.
4. Too bad for CBP that Chevron got overturned. Its interpretations of law are no longer afforded deference, and laws should be interpreted per their ordinary meanings.

At best, you could say that CBP was asserting a principle with a shaky foundation. At best. The most natural reading of the language goes the other way. Here's the regulation

"A nonimmigrant in the United States in a class defined in section 101(a)(15)(B) of the Act as a temporary visitor for pleasure, or section 101(a)(15)(C) of the Act as an alien in transit through this country, may not engage in any employment."

Would you call "cleaning up the house when staying there" employment? I would not. I don't think anyone would. I certainly have never seen a definition of employment anywhere else in the law to refer to an informal situation where a person provides services to another person free of charge and not on a regular basis.

That's the regulation. You can believe the liars at CBP, or you can believe what you read.
 
So we're going to tariff a bunch of stuff we can't make and don't want to make. We're not tariffing the stuff that we want to make, and sorta can make (especially if they would lean into instead of away from the CHIPS act and build capacity).

Stable genius!
Just more evidence he has no clue.
 
So tariffs and reshoring US manuf are sort of the Trump 2.0 version of the constant Infrastructure Weeks of Trump 1.0. Except a lot more damaging. Whatever you want to say about Obama and Biden, they actually got infranstructure built and Biden got manuf facilities under contstruction,.

Without knowing any details, nearly 3 weeks seems like a long time. Law enforcement likes to make things as difficult and painful as possible, but that seems excessive unless there are circumstances that we aren't aware of.

Her downfall was that she was using an app that was designed specifically to do work in exchange for free housing. That, to me, seems like you are working and being compensated, which certainly seems to be in violation of the law.

You consider barter to be compensation for work and deserving of arrest? Wow.
 
So I may be out there and if I am please correct me, but I am beginning to think that this whole tariff/no tariff thing is a grand ploy to front run and profit off of the moves.

If this is the case, they could do another loop at it.

It’ll be a neverending theme for at least the next four years. The corruption is already at a level worthy of an entire term. magas will have to patronize the soup kitchen and tent cities before they’ll acknowledge they’ve edgelorded and aggrieved themselves into destitution, by propping up the least moral and most venal admin in US history.

That is exactly what it is and it is obvious. Everything Trump has done is for personal gain.
 
I'm about to go into "chicken intestines" mode. Weird guy on the outskirts of the village that will tell you your fortune.

This is going to be really bad. It's baked in, no matter what at this point. Just a matter of when. And how hard. Despite my lack of knowledge about life insurance, I understand life. I have said this all along. And have not yet been proven wrong.

The Ten Commandments coming on now West Coast. So, I'm going to grove a bit to it and not worry about how absolutely awful things are going to be in time.
 
Incoherent capitulation, DOGE and Tariff FAIL won't pay for the Tech and Billionaire Bros. tax cut, but they don't care

Trump's M.O. is that he assumes middle class, working class, poors are as dumb as he is about economics and you don't pay attention...because the giveaways are to the tech and billionaire bros, not the people who need it.

Latino, black men in the working, middle class - he's not looking out for you.

2017: Loss of mortgage, state tax deductions.

Further, if you had a family of 4 with a mortgage and were already deducting $24K when itemized, the loss of personal exemptions meant an increase in taxes - Ours increased $4000-5000.
