Homeland . House . Gov? Says it could be upwards of 451 billion “Taxpayers have to front nearly half a trillion dollars each year because the Biden administration is not stopping migrants at the southern border” WASHINGTON, D.C.—This week, the House Committee on Homeland Security majority, led by Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN), released a shocking new interim report as part of its ongoing, comprehensive oversight investigation into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden’s reckless open-borders policies that have facilitated in the worst border crisis in American history. This report details the immense financial costs of the unprecedented border crisis being borne by American taxpayers, including the costs for health care, shelter, education, and law enforcement, as well as costs forced on private property owners and businesses. According to one estimate, housing and other services just to those who have been released into the United States on Mayorkas’ watch, or entered as known gotaways, could exceed $451 billion. https://homeland.house.gov/2023/11/16/what-they-are-saying-homeland-majoritys-fourth-interim-report-on-the-financial-cost-of-secretary-mayorkas-border-crisis/

And on a podcast earlier this year, he was recorded saying he could probably beat up any of the Trump supporters.

News nation and news week? American taxpayers shelled out more than $150 billion on immigrants in the U.S. illegally in 2023 alone, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) estimates. DOGE, which is expected to become a federal agency in Donald Trump’s upcoming administration, said in a social media posting the spending compares to projects such as building the Hoover Dam, funding World War I and constructing the atomic bomb and accounted for 2% of the overall U.S. budget. Newsweek reported that if accurate, the $150.7 billion spent on illegal immigration would rival the $151 billion that the government spent in 2023 to provide income security programs to military veterans and their families in 2023. https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/illegal-immigration-cost-us-taxpayers-150-7b-doge/amp/

And then there’s bashing the Tesla stock, excited that the stock price was dropping. Meanwhile, the state pension fund includes Tesla stock. And then soon after one of his own employees is arrested for vandalizing Teslas..

Interesting choice of words…. What?! Fear of something non-existent? Sorry I’m not religious. You’ll have to point out these so called facts because I don’t recall you posting anything but AI vibes and fear.

Budget . House . Gov ? WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, the House Budget Committee held a hearing entitled “The Cost of the Border Crisis” to highlight the importance of border security and the fiscal implications of President Biden’s failed border policies. Witnesses from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), Texas Public Policy Foundation’s “Secure and Sovereign Texas” Initiative, and Kinney County, Texas, testified before the committee to show the impacts of the border crisis, particularly the southern border, on a local, state, and federal level. Some key moments from the hearing: Chairman Arrington (R-TX): “The greatest national security threat to the American people is posed by these open borders. The social cost has consistently been well in front of the American people. But I don't think we've talked enough about the financial burden to taxpayers and the fiscal impact. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has done a great job. Studies suggest this cost is upwards of $400 billion, but their cost estimate is $150 billion. The lion's share of that cost is borne by state and local governments. State and local governments can't borrow or print money like the federal government, so they have to balance their budgets by either absorbing this cost through raising taxes or they have to cut services to their citizens.” https://budget.house.gov/press-release/the-cost-of-the-border-crisis-1507-billion-and-counting

Prob even a Trump voter.

Your source is an AI manifested number? Any idea where AI found it or are you just trusting, without verifying, anything that you think supports your point. FYI the first actual link/story from American Immigration Council makes the point that it’s not worth the $ to try mass deportation. If you want to cut off your nose to spite your face that is your choice. But spending less and gaining more is better business and anyone with experience in business would agree. Who do we know that might fit that description?

There’s someone for everyone.

Where is the call for violence? All he does is acknowledge the rumor of bad health, acknowledge he would be happy if Trump died, and then acknowledged that one day, Trump will die. Tasteless? Sure! Not how I would like a legislator to act (though Trump is the last one who gets to complain about decorum). But he doesn't call for anybody to harm the President. I think we could all benefit from being a little less sensitive and reactionary. This is exactly the kind of hysteria that conservative rightfully criticize from liberals. You might call it WDS.

Can you do us a favor and site your source?

Lol. What I said was “When talking about a police union the union leadership are most often officers in the department they represent. They are voted into those positions by members that are 100% officers from the department they represent.” You then said “UNION REPS ARE NOT 100% OFFICERS FROM THE DEPARTMENT THEY REPRESENT.” Which in no way contradicted what I had said. So are you accusing me of going from saying “most often” to “typically”? That’s an odd distinction to call out, but you do that a lot. I then asked you to find the individuals in the leadership of the union that represents DC MPD officers that arent MPD officers and you declined to do that. You might be able to find some law enforcement union somewhere where the leadership isn’t 100% officers from that agency, but I don’t know of one. There are hundreds? Thousands? Of locally organized police unions in this country. Even if you find an exception it will not change the overall conclusion.

Self accountability for what exactly?

I 100% think he’s trolling. He saw the vids. The persona he invented he has fun (in his mind) with. Inventing fake deities and the like. He’s half cartoon half real. I’ll bet he’s a far more radical person on here than he is in real life too. Again for the trolling.

Finally caught up with U20 after my annual week long backpacking trip I know it's illogical to relate U20 success to potential senior world success but I can't help but be hyped! Predicting 4 golds: Lee, Zahid, Trent, Wyatt both the high schoolers get to the bronze medal match but lose Carr and Snyder nab bronze medals. The latter immediately bolts out of the arena into the Croatian night where his whereabouts are unaccounted for 6 whole azz days

We already take on more legal immigrants than any country in the world. You’ve never heard anyone say to lower that or shut that down. How many is enough ? Why is it our sole responsibility ?

Well said. There was no resistance and the government is very open about that. It's actually the key detail of the case and why the video was released immediately and touted by the Trump admin. This was a precision military strike on an unsuspecting target. There was no attempt to arrest them and that is very important. The Trump Administration's argument is that because they consider the cartel to be a terrorist organization, they are allowed to strike and kill them as enemy combatants, bypassing any responsibility to non-lethally apprehend them. Furthermore, Rubio said they don't even think that boat was coming to America!

Some wanted to go farther than defunding Minneapolis lawmakers vow to disband police department in historic move This article is more than 5 years old City council members declare intent to ‘abolish’ embattled agency and replace with alternative model in wake of George Floyd’s killing https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/07/minneapolis-city-council-defund-police-george-floyd

I am really excited for Carr. He is slick and should match up well with the senior euro style. My biggest concern with Messenbrink is that he's Metcalf 2.0 and he may run most guys into the ground but can he break the top guys? Caliendo already figured out how to slow him down and no offense to my ginger homie but he's not exactly Sidakov. I think Carr is our best chance for a medal and glad he made the team this year because it's going to be a battle each year and even tougher when KOT returns to make his run.

This one seems totally sane too

For a recent example, she voted, with the Dem party line, against an amendment that stripped Israel of military aid. Other members of the squad - Omar, Tlaib, Lee - voted for the amendment, against AOC and the party.

Kind of like all the current crop of Cael's? In these cases, we can assume we know what sport the father did (I expect a bunch of Helen's coming up soon)

Jaxson with an S is the most ignorant thing ever. The whole point of the letter X covers the purpose of the follow-up letter S. It drives me insane. It's literally saying "Jacks-son" Then again, the people who name their kids like that aren't exactly drawing with a full box of crayons.
