THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[Mutineer]

If they really wanted to solve the immigration problem they would be cracking down harder on the farms and other businesses who hire them

It is not a requirement to I-9 an independent contractor. And it is not illegal to 1099 an illegal immigrant.

Isn't that cute?

There has never been an administration in my adult life that handles the excessive immigration problem to my satisfaction.

A good start would've been to not do an unprecedented thing like letting in over 12 million people in four years. Instead should've been focused on removing the illegals that were already here. Should've strengthened the legal immigration system that let in a million a year. We already.had enough issues with illegals committing crime before we opened the doors and saw a spike in crime from the criminals who came in with the rest. An issue that the Left refuses to address. And screams racism when someone tries to address it.

OMG can this day get any better! The only thing I worry about is how I’m going to get Dems’ talking points of the day? This thread is going to get boring without all the crying, fear and panic every day from our 2 biggest fear Mongers.

Not without being impregnated. Has someone been pushing the idea that virgins can give birth here in 2025 or is it just that one woman in the Bible story?

seems like it could be done by invitro in todays world. whether she would be a virgin or not another question

If there was no need for immigrants, Trump of all people wouldn’t be offering immigrants who work on “farms, hotels and other places” an opportunity to stay

Again what trump is proposing is leave first, then go through the immigration screening process. in many countries there is so much interest that eligible go through a final lottery type selection once they have qualified. Trumps proposal would allow farmers to vouch for those specific workers that apply once they have returned.

you seem to be trying to make this sound nefarious when its consistent with the demand to follow the legal immigration process.

Wow quiet here since a few Chicken Littles are silenced. Thanks for the link. Now I can keep up with how horrible things are and how Trump is going to destroy the world. Without Dems keeping things straight I would think things were going great.

Nope.

It's a 'don't ask, don't tell' sorta thing.

It is illegal to 'knowingly' hire an illegal immigrant in any capacity.

With independent contractor or 1099 employment it is not a requirement to 'ask' or inquire upon a person's immigration status because that pesky I-9 form is not required.

Anyways, that's how I interpreted the law when I finally bothered to look it up several years ago when I became an employer.

Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am. But I don't think so.

It was 1999 or Y2K when something caught my eye while I was shopping.

I noticed that ordinary consumer products in hardware stores began to be prominently labeled and advertised in English and Spanish.

I'm not talking about that practically useless little instruction pamphlet folded like an accordion and in six different languages that is tucked away in the packaging that blows away in the wind and practically disintegrates as soon as it's discovered.

In the immediate following years this bilingual labeling practice began to creep and became more pervasive. And now we have what we have presently.

Looking back, it should have crossed my mind right there and then that it really is all about displacement and replacement.

Nope. I was hiring people during the "Dubya" Bush era.

I have since come to realize that in more ways than I knew then, Bush 1 and 2 were no friends of mine.

Although this development is very highly amusing to me, something important is lost.

Without liberals to debate with this forum will become boring.

Then the fun will really begin when we start eating each other.

We've had plenty of that already. Luckily conservatives are hard to digest.
