And also making trading partner look for other business partners to do business with.
These guys are really struggling to find any W’s for Trump.
I’m not in favor of deporting violent criminals. If they’re convicted of crime(s) in the United States, I want them incarcerated here. I want them serving their sentences here.
Since it was reported that there were over 120 plane flights returning people to Colombia just last year, it's clear that it was happening. I doubt that Colombia was the only one as well.
Details, Shmetails. Who cares about details? Facts, Shmacts. Who cares about.... Well, you get the idea.
Not only did every person who was here illegally get deported after being convicted of crimes and serving their sentence during the Biden administration (and most likely every presidential administration in my lifetime of nearly 50 years), but also those who were here illegally and were acquitted or had their cases dismissed were deported and those who were here legally and convicted of deportable offenses were also deported.
Great point. Hadn't thought about it like that. That's an interesting point worth considering for sure.
Well, except the leader of the free world.
Right. So far at least, deportation numbers are not much different than under Biden. And while daily arrests are up a bit, the arrests of people with criminal records are fairly steady.
We need a tread to follow those j6ers who were pardoned. So far one is dead (altercation with police), at least one is back in jail on new charges, and a couple are wanted for soliciting sex from underage girls.
Why is this a win when data is steadily coming out that hybrid, work from home, and shorter work weeks are demonstrating increases in productivity?
Personally I'm ok if they want to transition back to the office.
Isn't it still a step in the right direction?
Yeah, they definitely need to serve their sentences. Otherwise, immediate deportation is like a get-out-of-jail-free card. I have a number of clients who ask if they can avoid serving a sentence by agreeing to immediate deportation. That’s not an option and shouldn’t be.
Interesting. Hard to disagree with this. Except that we're then paying for these criminals to be incarcerated. (Guetmo?) But I agree that letting them go—and potentially find their way back here—is probably worse.
he’s only ten days in. Realistically, I wouldn’t expect too many wins, if any.
Yeah. I will say, I started the thread as an attempted goodwill gesture to give Trump supporters or ideological conservatives a thread in which we could actually try to analyze and discuss the merits and demerits of Trump administration policy. It’s no secret or surprise that the overwhelming majority of this board community does not like Donald Trump, but I thought it would perhaps be helpful for there to be a specific thread discussing policies.
I know you started this in goodwill and I thought that was cool. What I quickly realized however is how well this thread may actually hold feet to fire when it comes to MAGA claims of Trump's positive impact. The fact that there's an obvious underwhelming number of actual wins being recorded by our board MAGAs here is so very telling. Delicious, even.
