I'd hate to get a speeding ticket if you were in charge.

Not to disagree with your point, but I believe in most if not all states, a speeding violation is not a misdemeanor. Obviously, some extreme speeding violations (racing, excessive speed, reckless driving) could be misdemeanors, but most aren't.

It's got nothing to do with me being in charge, I'm just talking about the reality of what happens all the time in this country. Example: most DUI arrests are misdemeanors, carrying extremely similar penalties to illegal border crossings. There are 1.5 million DUI arrests every year in the United States. That's one example. In most jurisdictions, the felony/misdemeanor line is crossed when something exceeds a year jail time. We send people to jail for several months to a year for all sorts of things. Those are misdemeanors; those split up families. That's the point.

I think it depends on the state. Same with jaywalking. Pretty sure public intoxication is a misdemeanor everywhere.

How many misdemeanors include shipping your child off to another state with no knowledge of where they are or how to reunite?

So much of this comes down to the issue of cash bail which fucks the poor who haven't yet been convicted of a crime. Rich people don't lose their kids when they are arrested because they can afford to post bail and go home.

One weird thing I've noticed about the stuff Trump has problems with. They're all old stuff. I almost wonder if there is some weird thing with boomers where they get stuck on issues from 20 years ago. Similar to how our music tastes are heavily influenced by what we listened to as a teenager.
- Illegal immigration is way down. It's like a quarter of what it was in the 80's and 90's and that's been a gradual decline over the years. - China hasn't manipulated it's currency in some time. This was an issue a decade or so ago, not now. - Crime is universally down across the country over the past few decades. - There isn't an automotive competition with Japan like in the 80's (when Reagan put those dumb tariffs on them). They build most of their cars here now. - Coal is done. Technological advancements in the natural gas industry have just made it obsolete. And there are less jobs because mines are more efficient. Again, he think it's the 70's or 80's when this was actually an issue. You could go on about NAFTA, the steel industry, tariffs, etc. It's almost all stuff that was a big concern 10-30 years ago. It's maybe what made Hillary the perfect foil. It makes me wonder when we get older if we'll be stuck on the news today even if it's largely irrelevant. Will mass shootings go away and we'll still be treating them like huge problems? Will we be talking about fracking when that industry is on it's last legs? Maybe the key to getting the older vote is just focus relentlessly on issues from their past. |

I don't know if you are trying to say illegal immigration really isn't an issue anymore because the numbers are decreasing. The numbers that I think you are citing are in "border crossings/apprehensions". You are right, those numbers are decreasing. However, the total number of illegals in the US reached a peak in 2007 at 12.2 and now down "only" to 11.3 in 2015. Table 1, in link below, shows a good graphic from 1990 to 2015, you can see the historical trend and, IMO, you can see illegals in the US is still a problem. Now if one doesn't believe the peak of 2007 at 12.2 was a problem then, I understand why one wouldn't think 2015 at 11.3 is not a problem. But we shouldn't say that illegal immigration is not a problem because crossings are way down, many are here already. 5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S. | Pew Research Center Quote:
One interesting note on the Pew research, it referred to "illegals" as "unauthorized immigrants". I'm actually okay with this wording as I don't think "undocumented" (that some others here prefer) is accurate. I'll try to remember and start using "unauthorized" going forward.

The majority of the country (e.g. "the people") is against unauthorized immigration. Whatever dissent there is right now won't overcome that anytime soon. If there is armed dissent (e.g. like a revolt against the British), I'm pretty sure it'll be quashed quickly. The only way is to change or reform what you don't like through the legislative process. Elect a President and Congress that supports your views and make the change over time. BTW - you can place much of the blame on the approx 35% of registered Democrats (vs 32% of registered Republicans) that did not vote in 2016 and therefore handed the world Trumpism.

Yeah, I'm talking about people coming across the border. Not people who've been here for a couple decades. Most of the rhetoric is about building a wall to keep people out. This isn't the 80's and 90's where floods of immigrants were coming across the border. The wall stuff made more sense back then. |

2/3 of that eleven million have been in the U.S. for over a decade. There's no realistic scenario where millions of otherwise law-abiding folks with ties to their communities are rounded up and shipped to their native country. Whether you want it to happen or not, it's logistically and politically impossible.

I actually agree with you for the most part (but I don't know what the cut off is, it may be a decade, it may be 5 years, it may be 15). I certainly don't think all the 11M should get a free pass and definitely not the felons. Let's do a holistic immigration reform and grandfather "some" of the legacy unauthorized into a PR (e.g. like what Reagan did in the last big immigration reform). The key here is (1) reform it through the process vs flaunting the laws and (2) make sure that we don't get another 11M in the next 20 years. Reagan's immigration plan was supposed to stop more unauthorized but obviously it didn't. I support Trump's Wall as part of a larger holistic immigration reform. If Trump's Wall will reduce future "unauthorized" (e.g. not a repeat of Reagan's failure) so we don't have to deal with this again in 20 years, I'm all for it.

Didn't see this before I responded to JPhillips. Here's what I remember about past immigration reform and my stance on Trump's Wall. 1) Reagan did immigration reform. As part of the reform, it "legalized" some of the unauthorized. It was supposed to stop/reduce future unauthorized 2) It obviously failed in stopping/reducing future unauthorized. The "floods" of unauthorized came back after the 90's 3) I believe we need to do another round of immigration reform through the legislative process. I agree with JPhillips that many of the 11M unauthorized, like Reagan's plan, will need to be legalized 4) I support Trump's wall as part of a bigger immigration reform package to stop future unauthorized so we don't have to deal with this again (!) 20 years from now. Hence, I support the Wall as part of a holistic immigration reform (e.g. legal and unauthorized immigration, addressing supply and demand etc.) To your statement, if you believe a Wall would have made sense then, I contend it would also make sense now. History has repeated itself in our immigration reform failure. Last edited by Edward64 : 06-28-2018 at 11:20 PM. |

That’s my whole point. People say they are against undocumented immigration, yet their actions and actions of our elected officials say otherwise. Which is more truthful- an empty proclamation of belief or demonstrative economic and legislative evidence? The rich and powerful make the rules to stay rich and powerful. Therefore, whatever mixed situation we have now must be one in which benefits the rich and powerful. If everyone working in the restaurants, farms, factories and gardens were wearing full burqas, how long would it take for that to end, despite an economic benefit?

I may be mistaken, but are you saying "people say they are against undocumented immigration, but people's and elected official's actions say otherwise?" I don't see this.

You could eliminate most illegal immigration by putting in more stringent means of verifying employment. By punishing businesses who hire illegal immigrants. It would not be difficult to do either. Elected officials won't do that because it hurts big business. Those are their donors. Sure they throw some red meat to their base about building a wall to keep brown people out. But they know it won't do much and be expensive as hell. |

The problem isn't hiring companies looking the other way. Its literally how do you know. Ive posted earlier I employ two guys who I suspect aren't fully honest with me. But both have IDs, birth certificates and SS#. I am told these three docs cost about $450 on the market. I mentioned earlier about my two employees. Brian and Eric. Both have last names that would lead me to doubt they are hispanic. I also must say Brian is amazing looking for 53. I wouldn't put him a day over 30. I question his paperwork. But its all there and it all matches. Not only "should" I not do more, it is illegal for me to further investigate his paperwork. If I choose not to hire him based on my suspicion that he is falsifying his identification I am committing discrimination. Fix that issue. Fix that the business owner cant exercise judgement without facing potential litigation...or tell me how you think I should handle it. |

Sure, I agree with this statement. His statement referred to "the people" and "elected officials". Where is "the people" which I equate to regular US Citizens/PR. You want to blame businesses and local politicians in California, Texas, Florida (the 3 largest by far), maybe add a couple more, and crack down on them, I'm good with it.

Which is more truthful- an empty proclamation of belief or demonstrative economic and legislative evidence?". So in this context, I took him to mean "the people" = majority of the country because he was responding to me. Certainly not the business owners in the 3 major states that uses unauthorized people. |

So does the "majority of the country" take to the streets that business owners are hiring undocumented workers? Do they refuse in shops that hire undocumented? Are they refusing to eat in restaurants where the kitchen staff have undocumented workers (btw, all 50 states have undocumenteds - to only mention 3 major states completely misses the entire point)? No. Because it's all talk.

If I'm reading your post(s) correctly, you think there is a "cabal" of businesses & federal/state/local government that is organizing and directing all this mess we call illegal immigration to benefit themselves? There may be some truth in "some" businesses and "some local/state elected officials" doing this but I don't see all/most states and not the federal government involved. The federal government has been proven ineffective in controlling unauthorized immigration (e.g. 11M or 3.4% of population). Its not because they really want unauthorized immigration, its because they are the federal government and are full of inefficiencies, differing interests, bureaucracy, and have to work with the legislature and how laws are crafted. For businesses, I suspect High Tech, Big banks, Healthcare industries etc. couldn't give a flip. Its the smaller businesses and maybe Tyson/Perdue and the like. If the federal/state government was smart, they would encourage highly-skilled immigration. I would plan for, say, 5.5M or 50% of highly skilled legal immigrants out of the current 11M unauthorized immigrants. Proponents of unauthorized immigrants on this board have said its a net-positive. If that's the case, think about how much more net-positive for highly skilled immigrants. |

How would "the people" know if a business owner/restaurant is hiring undocumented workers? For big businesses, name me some? Show me there is a systemic taking advantage of unauthorized and that fed government is turning a blind eye. For small business, how would one know? Using my Tyson/Perdue example, I suspect there is probably some unauthorized workers there but, on the other hand, I would also think the government is watching them. There are probably some one-off chicken farms that contract to them that uses unauthorized but is Tyson/Perdue doing this en-masse now? The majority of people do care about and are against "unauthorized immigration". There is a substantial hard-core % as evident by the Trump supporters.

That's way too broad. I'm saying the status quo serves the interests of those that control the economy and also Congress. If they lobbied for some sort of immigration restrictions it would happen. They don't, though, because the system works for them. Look how quickly the tax bill passed. When the powerful want something done, it generally gets done.

High tech loves students with skills who overstay their visas. In the health care industry, a large number of direct care workers are undocumented. Agriculture and restaurants rely heavily on them too (agriculture industry lobbied to have Florida remove the e-verify requirement from a bill).
Most of this shit is just for show. Red meat to some racists who think they ended up failures because of border crossings. It's why the wall hasn't been funded or other measures are used to curb it. They're a huge part of our economy and businesses who really call the shots in government will never allow it to go away. |

This shouldn't be missed. According the WaPo, Trump has tasked DoD with planning for a withdrawal of some or all of our troops in Germany.

The poultry and meat packing industries are highly reliant on undocumented labor. Hotels and restaurants run or franchised by large corporations are also very reliant on undocumented workers.

You really think high-tech loves the liability of hiring students with skills that overstay? I don't think so. No doubt there is not enough high tech students out of college but they wouldn't take the risk (they want to reform H1B, quotas, and they will offshore the work if they have to). Healthcare wasn't mentioned in your Pew research link. Admittedly it may have fallen under "services" but I doubt there's that much happening. FWIW, I did projects for nursing home companies that own many nursing homes. They are pretty careful, there is alot of liability there. You may be talking about much smaller or independents, but they are not big businesses. I am not denying unauthorized work happens (of course they do that's why the unauthorized are here?). I am denying that there is a cabal of big businesses and federal government taking advantage of them and federal government is turning a blind eye. Name me some big businesses that have a bunch of unauthorized that the government is not acting on. I can clearly see smaller businesses and some local/state elected officials. Quote:

These farms milking 10,000 cows might not be household names but they are large in terms of dollars. And that trickles down to farms smaller than mine. I have a friend who calls his farm ‘White Power Farm’ because he is an oddity in that he has no Latinos working for him.
As mentioned before, meat packing and poultry and I’d also add produce. Maybe it’s a marketing opportunity for somebody to take advantage of? This milk is guaranteed to have been harvested by farms that only employee verified American citizens. |

Cargill, Del Monte, Tyson to name a few.
The federal government could make e-verify mandatory. They could improve the service by making it easier, cheaper, and more accurate. They could arrest and prosecute business owners for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants (instead of just fining them paltry amounts). Ask yourself why the federal government doesn't go after the source for why people cross the border? |

Florida was going to make e-verify mandatory. Agirculture, tourism, and construction industry came in and said nope.
