Colombia tariffs are patently illegal. The president cannot impose sanctions for this reason, or tariffs. If this turns into anything formal -- more formal than a social media tantrum -- it will be enjoined in a week, I would guess.

To be fair, there are plenty of examples of corporate America doing this over the last several years. Twitter being one of the most prominent. It pretty much never works, but it’s not as if people who think like a businessman are immune from making catastrophically stupid economic decisions.

Yea, the point was more how does it work.

My company laid off the entire training and most of the quality team last year. Guess what, training and quality are now big issues. Labor cost savings are not always greater than the other issues they cause.

I'm sort of hoping they lay off the engineering department this year. I'd be ok with a year's pay and time to plan for the future.

Doesn't matter, remember the SCOTUS said that he can break the law...

100% agree. Except for the part where you get laid off. :)

Yes, I am. Because trump hasn't followed society's standards, that has no bearing on what we should be teaching students with respect to national security and our borders. Not a very good argument on your part. Our institutions of higher learning should be setting an example of following the law and because 1 person didn't in certain cases doesn't mean the goal of teaching society to follow the law is out of the window.

I think freedom of speech is a right reserved for American citizens and is not applicable for non-citizens. Maybe that's legally inaccurate but the board lawyers can verify.

There's a good field test specifically for you. Take your first opinion and choose the opposite. You'll be correct almost all the time

"Once situated lawfully in the United States, aliens enjoy First Amendment rights"

Ok, are all US citizen rights available to non citizens?

Initially I thought I might support trump's effort to deport them. Now, if that is their right I do not support it if they are here lawfully.
 
U.S. goods and services trade with Colombia totaled an estimated $53.5 billion in 2022. Exports were $28.7 billion; imports were $24.8 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade surplus with Colombia was $3.9 billion in 2022.

So Coffee will cost more and ...?

And a lot more than that, too. A good but slightly dated summary —

What constitutional rights do undocumented immigrants have?

The administration’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy and the recent surge in family separations at the border -- a practice President Donald Trump ended through executive order -- has called attention to the legal rights of immigrants under U.S. law.

You can say what you want but I bet these Columbians end up back in Columbia. All the bs and money that will now be required in order to try and at least clean up some of the mess created when a bunch of dipshits run the country for 4 years.
