The Border Crisis: Is Allowing Illegals To Flood In A Good Thing?

[oldngray]

I was hoping even more Republicans would turn out to pick up some more House seats. From my calculations we might get 220. Enough to control but that's a pretty slim margin. If the economy tanks in the next two years the Dems will likely win the House. Hopefully Trump's moves will see gas prices come down and grocery prices with it.

In 2 years the economy will still be recovering from what Biden did to it. No quick or easy fixes.

Also that the Democrats will do everything in their power to destroy any chance of Trump helping the middle class in order to take back the White House. They would be perfectly happy with destroying the Country rather than admit they were wrong on every issue and Trump was right.

As far as your kids are concerned it was obvious who they voted for.

We are the last demographic left to vote Rep.

Oh sure, sure.
Keep telling yourself that.

Yes, Trump improved with young men. But he drew young women, too.

Trump picked up a larger proportion of voters under 30 than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008, according to NBC News exit polling.

Trump picked up a larger proportion of voters under 30 than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008, according to NBC News exit polling, improving with both young men and young women. In 2020, President Joe Biden beat Trump by 11 percentage points among young men; this year, Trump beat Kamala Harris by 2 points. Among young women, Biden’s 35-point lead over Trump in 2020 shrunk to a 24-point lead for Harris. Among young white men without college degrees, Trump beat Harris, 56% to 40%.

You're a real piece of . I know about half a dozen landscape contractors here and none of them hire illegals or pay slave wages. You clearly know about . ing troll.

It's area dependent, I haven't seen a non-hispanic landscaper in 20 years except for once when I traveled to a super-rural area and saw an all-white crew


My next door neighbor was a legal who hired nothing but legal or "asylum" cases and he was the norm in my major metro area

I remember when people were being suckered into buying Iraqi Dinar. The logic was that you could buy like a thousand dollars worth of Dinar and a great adjustment was coming that would would make that $1000 worth hundreds of thousands. I delivered dinar to several dozen people back in the 2000's. Many of them fervently gave me a tip to get in on it before too late. I had followed currency markets for awhile and knew this couldn't possibly happen. Made a few people very angry telling them so. But I also did some digging. The Dinar scam had already ran its course in Japan. People there had realized they had been hoodwinked and when they tried to sell their Dinar to banks the banks refused to exchange it. People honestly thought they could take their Dinar down to our banks and the banks would be obligated to give them hundreds of thousands for it.

My point is be careful about putting your eggs in one basket. People have made money in Bitcoin but that may not always be the case. There may come a day when there's a run on cashing out Bitcoin and there won't be any Dollars for you because the exchanges refuse to give you Dollars. Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is very limited. And may never become the standard because it may threaten the government's power over currency controls. You may be 100% right and everything you predict may come about. But if it does it will only be because our government and the governments of other economic powers have decided it's in their favor to let it happen. If they come out with their own digital currencies and outlaw Bitcoin usage within their borders then good luck.

You don't understand what Bitcoin is, it's not just some stock or beanie baby, it's currency that can never be inflated, never taken from you without your consent, never faked, and can move trillions across the globe with the fastest final settlement in history

We are the last demographic left to vote Rep. You cannot solve brokenness with broken $.

This however is nonsense, politics like money always, ALWAYS corrects to a mean eventually, sometimes with great violence

The female managerial HR society we have now will push and push and push young men into a corner until they eventually detach completely and violently crush the system then remake it to something else

Biden barely did anything, we've been fiscally mismanaged for half a century, it will take decades if ever

Apparently, Biden didn’t fix this actually made it worse. Go figure.

We recovered from the pandemic better than every other advanced economy. Low unemployment and a stock market that outperformed donald's. If you have a 401k you did very well as a middle income individual.

And yet it didn’t translate into votes? Trying to figure out why.

I live in Arizona, the illegals are plenty, most contractors in my area won't hire them. Yes, there are tons of latino workers, but that's not the point that was being made.

Legal immigrants hate the border jumpers trying to take their jobs.

Low fuel prices are the linchpin of lower prices.

And if the U.S. government won't allow it to be used as currency here, or let it be exchanged for dollars, then you'll have to go elsewhere with it. By the way with a finite amount its value is inflated as demand increases. That is great as long as it isn't outlawed.

That will NEVER happen. If you want to study his book let me know. If not cool

I've seen quite a few videos discussing Bitcoin. From what I hear Bitcoin is a bit limited in what it can do(no pun intended). It's why Ethereum and some others have been developed. Bitcoin's primary ability is as a store of value, or so I've read/heard/seen.

You don’t need to cash in Bitcoin. It is the cash. I say sit on sidelines and study . Governments have no choice they are mining right now worldwide. They CANNOT outlaw without killing the internet. It can also be transferred by phone. Then there is this… it adds a 0 every 4 years…
(wish I had better picture)

The government can't prevent a supermarket from taking Bitcoin for food? A car dealer will sell you a car for Bitcoin even if the government says he can't? How did the internet exist before Bitcoin was invented?
