Trump’s Dispute with Columbia

[Hobby]

the number used of 20-30 million contacts at the border, most are the same person trying to come in on different days and turned away.
the people they are flying back were arrested under Bidens watch.

I don't doubt illegal crossing the border has decreased significantly since Trump regained the presidency.  The word is spreading across South America that Trump won't let them in unless they do it legally.  I read farm workers are staying home for fear of being deported.  When comes to enforcement of our borders I don't see Trump being a bully. Too many bleeding hearts have caused the illegal immigration problem that cost us billions of dollars that can be used to help senior citizens and other poor folk.  Columbia was upset we transported criminals in handcuffs. No way is okay to transport criminals unrestrained. I think Trump is doing a good job to secure our borders and dump the criminal trash.

Nationally, undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022.
They pay into SS then don't get any.

If you have friends in Assisted Living on Medicare, hope they get a back up plan. Which I know there isn't. At least CA has Medical.  He will try to stop funding again. Sick Fucker

I hope that the immigration policy changes so that the Mexican people that want to work can come legally get paid and then go back to Mexico on an annual basis legally.  Most of the farm workers want to go back to Mexico but can't because it's too costly/risky to cross the border specifically now that's Trump's locked the border down.  They should never become citizens unless they apply for citizenship and want to assimilate into the United States culture and customs.

Trump broke another promise.  He started a war------with America (federal funding freeze, etc.)

But they've now "rescinded" the funding freeze. But wait! The White House Press Secretary said they rescinded "the OMB memo," but not Trump's EO's on federal funding, which "remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented."

These people are incompetent, reckless, and dangerous.

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) shows that workers laboring in the U.S. without lawful work authorization contribute nearly$100 billion in taxes to federal, state, and local economies.

Undocumented immigrants paid nearly $26 billion into Social Security coffers in a single year, a new report has found.
Link

Approximately 7 million undocumented immigrants are working in the United States, which means about 65% of the total undocumented population is employed Link

These undocumented worker are coming into our country to earn money. Put the employers who hire undocumented worker in jail. If Trump does this I will believe he is serious about stopping illegal immigration. Or perhaps focus on undocumented immigrants that are NOT working.  "Idle hands are the devil's workshop."

Stopping illegal immigration is easy IMO.  The government has never really wanted to.  Like I said before, make it legal for immigrants to come and work.  Let them make money.  Just stop the bullshit of free healthcare, food stamps, education for their kids, etc!  All that needs to be done is address the social security system and enforce a federal ID system that allows a citizen ID and an Immigrant ID.  Currently they make up any number and an employer can pay them until he gets audited.

Using military C-17 and C-130 aircraft to deport people to their county of origin, is a very expensive way of doing it. Is there any reason why no one wants to talk about this excessive waste of tax payer money.

Compared to what is paid to support the Illegals here it is a wash. In the long run we win..

Work visas are available for them to come and work...

Trump didn't have any dispute with Columbia it was Columbia had a dispute with Trump.  Columbia forgot we just had a election and they are dealing with Trump not Biden and quickly reversed their uncooperative to saying yes sir bring those illegal criminals in cuffs back to us!

[Hobby]

The far left want borders to remain open letting all sorts of criminals terrorist you name it allow them to run free in our country. Give them medical, foodstamps and money all from taxpayers pocket. 

So Trump unlike Biden is enforcing immigration laws rounding up illegals who commit crimes or have criminal history fly them back to their home countries the Democrats are having a fit over it.

Key points to consider:
Oversimplification:
This statement paints a broad brush over a complex issue, ignoring nuances within the "far left" political spectrum and the various immigration policy proposals that may exist.
Mischaracterization:
Accusing the "far left" of wanting completely open borders suggests they are deliberately trying to endanger national security, which is not a fair representation of their stance.
Focus on extremes:
This statement tends to focus on extreme viewpoints rather than the more moderate positions within the political discussion on immigration.
Generative AI is experimental.

It's a mess and clearly Trump is going to push using the courts and interpretation of words in laws as much as possible.

That is Trump's standard Modus operandi.
