No Border, No Nation, No Deportation


According to July 2024 US Customs and Immigration Enforcement publicized data, there are currently more than 37,000 illegal immigrants held in 18 private detention facilities.

Of these, more than 10,000 have confirmed criminal records and another 4,600, or so, have valid criminal charges pending against them.

And, the Border Czar, Kammie Girl's immigration platform has always been No Border, No Nation, No Deportation?

That is a look at what is happening in Kammie Girl's world today.

RE: No Border, No Nation, No Deportation

Mad aliens are storming our borders,
Attacking our sisters and brothers.
Harris and Walz
Will not build walls,
Now these goons are taking our orders!

Please, remember to tip. Illegals work very hard.

RE: No Border, No Nation, No Deportation
I have gradually been coming around to the opinion that tipping is a mostly toxic practice that formed out of American antebellum. If you're tipping cash, you're giving someone a high incentive not to pay taxes. It fuels corruption, sexism and ultimately master/slave dynamics. The rest of the world has pretty much done away with it, and this is an area Americans are incredibly backward.

Both Trump and Harris are going to make it even worse. Although making it tax-free might mean that it goes on the books, there will then have to be a cap, or it will become a massive loophole for tax dodging. As for illegals not paying taxes, why on earth would we want that?? It's the worst situation imaginable for the US economy.

"Deport! Deport them all!"
Is D. Trump's only call.
They rape and kill,
Bring drugs that thrill;
Damn it, we need that wall!

Brett, I visited the ICE data dashboard and couldn't find any of this information you presented other than the 37,000 illegal immigrants. Do you have a source?

Very true about tipping, H. Also, undocumented immigrants in the USA pay taxes. In 2022, they paid approximately $21.5 billion in federal taxes and $13.6 billion in state and local taxes. This highlights their significant contribution to the tax system despite their undocumented status.

RE: No Border, No Nation, No Deportation
And when illegals are all gone,
How the hell will we get shit done?
They did the work
We mostly shirk,
So we'd just be back to square one.

Realizing this, Trump's new decree will be:
"Okay, okay, blast a small hole in the wall--just a tiny one--and let 'em back in--but just enough to get the cheapest labor we need."

RE: No Border, No Nation, No Deportation
Brett, with all due respect, you do this. You appear here with some inflammatory post, full of insulting language about Harris (Harris now, used to be Biden) You cover it up with a fact or two, possibly researched and then you give it your own spin or add complete BS and then you vanish from the conversation. Job done.

If you have the strength of your convictions, please come back to argue for them.

In this case you want to challenge Harris about the border. You come up with a nice propaganda slogan = No Border, No Nation, No Deportation.

What does that even mean? because you know very well that none of it is true. None of those three statements applies to any US administration ever.

So go ahead, argue about the border, but don't expect any reasonable person to be taken in by lies and pure propaganda. Perhaps you could start by explaining how the current number of illegal immigrants crossing the border is lower than it was at the end of the Trump Admin.

Or more likely you will sit back, having lobbed in your usual hand grenade and do nothing at all. Just be aware it was a damp squib.
