Musk says ‘cis,’ ‘cisgender’ considered slurs on Twitter
Elon Musk said the words “cis” and “cisgender” are now considered slurs on Twitter and suggested that “repeated, targeted” use of those words could be subject to suspensions. “Repeated, targeted ha…thehill.com
They’ll burn the whole dictionaries to show there’s nothing to climate change.
If we're going to look at actual causes, let's be clear that the vast majority of refugees around the world, including those attempting to enter the United States, are displaced by or running from acts of war or colonialism in their home countries. In both of those situations, by far the worst actor is the United States. Viewed in that light- the one of ultimate causes- America's "illegal immigrant" problem is self inflicted.
If it was an unseen barrier I would totally agree with you. Do these people deserve to die, of course not. I do not like what Abbott did but what is Texas to do. I grew up in Texas and they are stretched thin. I am not smart enough to solve the problem. But i do believe there is an answer. I would like to see more judges and case workers to assist the immigrants in their pursuit of the American dream. Most of them are good people who are just trying to do what we all want. A better life for our families.
What problem do those death traps solve? If they don't deserve to die, why would anybody put up death traps like that? You've claimed earlier that I wasn't making any sense but when you did that, you were putting your own words in my mouth. I'm not doing that here, I'm just asking what problem is Abbot solving? I can't find a good data driven explanation, just rhetorical statements by Abbot and Cruz. So, I'm listening but need more than a Ted Cruz story. Where are the data that justifies Abbot's probably illegal river barrier?
We have a seasonal worker working visa here in Tas, mainly for Pacific islanders. Its all done through agencies that specialise in it, they also house them. A mate makes a good quid housing 6 people in a place that if you swung a cat in the cat would die and you would have holes in the very red walls.
I am no fan of Abbott. He is nothing but a mini version of Trump. I do not agree with what Abbott has done when it comes to the barriers. He uses the term defend the border like we are at war with mexico. I sometimes think he has declared war on immigrants but I try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But I do as a former Texan understand that immigrants who cross illegally have become a problem for the state.
American dream. lol.
This statement I agree with.
I don't like Abbot either but that's not what we are talking about.
I can’t fault them. Looking at Wiki, your January average daily temp is 17.9.
What?? 25C is 77F and that's shirt sleeve weather! Beware of strange people bearing statistics and an agenda.
MAGA and Repug won't, they have no desire to.....for them it's just a platform and a talking point. If (and i use "if" strongly here) they did immigration reform would have be passed a long time ago, and the thing dealing with immigration would have been fixed......but nooooo MAGA and the Repugs don't want that...all they wanna do is point fingers
All you have to do is look at El Paso to see what problems arise from illegal border crossings. It has become a humanitarian crisis not to mention that it is draining the budget in the Texas. Not all immigrants take advantage of public assistance programs but many do. Not all immigrants are criminals but some are. Although I would say it is a very small percentage. We cannot afford as a nation to allow everyone who wants to come here come. Especially not by the 100s of thousands. It is a shame that it has to come down to money but it does.
They understand that those immigrants come to America to drive down wages for blue collar jobs from restaurants and agriculture to trades. From that viewpoint it makes sense- and can therefore be used by unscrupulous politicians to manipulate them.
Hey Roger, I hope all is well with you.
keep in mind there is alot of blue collar people who don't want those jobs, they are look for something cushy and easy, meanwhile migrant in a sense are willing to get in that hole to dig a ditch, who are willing to go on a roof to fix it, who are willing to walk in a field to pick crops......the surprise is they are getting a nice wage to go with it, most get anywhere to 10 to 15 and hour, they get breaks etc etc.......now migrant can work from those jobs, get a home, get a car, go to school and build to become that blue collar worker....and some actually do it....i know of one here in my city, that came over from mexico when he was young, when get got older he started a shop that works on cars, while he's was doing that he was going to school, he studied to become a doctor, he finally graduated as a doctor in the end and still works in texas as one, he also works for dr w/o borders as well....and there are many like him......
The effect (if any) illegal immigrants have on wages is so small that it can't be reliably measured.
