No, I think asylum and refugee considerations should not be based on race at all. Trump disagrees. He's aggressively shut down the legal routes that non-whites were using at the southern border, while opening up a special path for white "refugees" fleeing a fictional genocide. It's blatantly racist, and you're eager to defend it. You know, like the whites only rules we used to have all over the southern US. After restoring statues and renaming parks and monuments to honor Confederate generals, I'm sure he'll get around to editing the dedication for the Statue of Liberty: "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled WHITE masses yearning to breathe free."

Nah, they have meaning. You just need a room-temperature IQ to understand them. Like I said, ask somebody to explain it to you, slowly. Maybe get some puppets in the mix or something? Your feelings aren't facts, and the the fact that you existed during the events discussed clearly doesn't mean that you understood them. The world of economics is as mysterious to you as thunder to the ancient greeks.

That's a lot of word salad to say that you agree with me that people crossing the southern border are almost entirely non-white. Which is an easy and plain fact to verify. Tell @gatomontes99 to pull his head out of Trump's ass for a minute and recognize the fact.

Jeebus. So, your answer to the fact that inflation was the price paid to stimulate the economy and avoid a massive recession is that there was inflation? Let's give you about 3 hours to catch on. And then, as before, go look at any other metric from where Trump left them to where Biden left them. Get somebody who can read simple charts and graphs to explain it to you.

He clearly didn't make it worse, dummy. Nearly every metric by which the economy is measured improved dramatically from what he inherited from Trump. Cold hard facts. We've been over that dozens of times, but unless you suddenly learned how to read a chart or graph I didn't suppose it would be helpful to post them again.

So when you said "libbies" cause so much inflation you meant one moderate Democrat who inherited an economy in the midst of a generational crisis and successfully navigated the economy out said crisis into a soft landing? Spot on, as usual.🤣

Jeebus, dude. You are the tail end of the human centipede. Good luck selling that.

Lol. So, it's your official position that the people illegally crossing the southern border are not overwhelmingly non-white, primarily Mexican and Latin American? You're going on record with that? You really are shameless in your eagerness to carry water. No bar too low. No claim too dishonest.

Sanctuary cities are abiding by the law. And they exist because those policies are the best for the citizens who live there. In the US, border and immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility. States and cities have no role there, but they do have other obligations to their citizenry. Imagine that you're running a city in Southern California, for example. Undocumented people exist. That's a fact you can't change (federal responsibility) like the weather or the water level. You have to decide how to achieve your goals within the context of that reality. For example, law enforcement depends on community engagement and trust. You need people to follow the local laws and to assist with enforcement. You need people to share information with investigators. You need people to be witnesses. You need people to be willing to comply with a traffic stop. You need people to take responsibility after a fender bender. And on and on. Obviously, establishing every contact with your local LEO as an existential threat to the undocumented residents in your community undermines all of your local goals with regard to community trust and engagement. Are you going to sacrifice your macro objectives--what you owe to your constituents--to mitigate the deficiencies of the federal government? Remembering that your job is to govern your city, is helping the feds deport a handful of people worth driving a subset of your population out of compliance, trust and engagement? Of course not. That's an easy decision. You do what's right for your city and your people and let the feds worry about their obligations.

Sure, pointing out that Trump is overtly targeting people of color and favoring whites in yet another aspect of governance is "racist." If you're a dimwitted liar, that probably sounds like a super great counter argument.

The point is that, as usual, you are talking about things you don't remotely understand. Your premise that "libbies cause so much inflation" is obviously false. Democrats are, and historically have been, decisively better for the economy. The ideas are better. They work better in practice. The outcomes are on record.

Holy shit, read a book sometime. And while you're at it, you might want to look at deficit and debt.

Yes, dumbass, this newsflash just in: the people crossing the southern border are almost entirely non-white. Which you already know. And this is what the app is for. I'm typing this slower and louder because apparently it's necessary... If Trump had made a blanket shutdown blocking all asylum and refuge seekers you could at least pretend it wasn't racially motivated, even though we all know who Trump is targeting. But when he shuts down the pathways used overwhelmingly by brown people, and then opens up a special path for white people, it's undeniably racially motivated. It's not a question or an accusation, just a fact. Playing that dumb should bother you, but as you constantly demonstrate, there's no bar too low when it comes to defending orange people.

We've yet to have any noteworthy good results. We've got an economy he's quickly tipping into recession, a constitutional crisis, a government waging war on journalism, science and education, an insane tariff policy and the volatile market to match. There's pretty much nothing the orange buffoon can't turn to shit in just 100 days.

While, yes, it's a perverse, Kafka-esque cruelty, it's also unbelievably stupid and shortsighted: the MAGA trifecta. If you punish people for attempting to comply with the expectations of the legal system, they very quickly learn not to trust or respect the legal system. It doesn't discourage people from existing in the US, it just incentivizes them to exist outside of legal governance.
