Trump / FBI / Russians

Yeah that's pretty much what's happening now, particularly in the areas like San Diego and parts of Arizona and Texas. I think they call it "triple fencing" which creates a no-man's land albeit without the land mines.

San Diego seems to be the lab rat. Pictures I've seem indicate that they have kept the first chain link/barbed wire fence, followed by the corrugated steel landing mat fence installed in the 90's, and have paved and lighted the old dangerous mountain dirt roads that agents use to respond to illegal traffic.

The new style border "wall" lies north of the paved road.

I'm sure those crafty Mexicans will eventually figure out a way to partially overcome this new barrier, but it still provides a much-needed obstacle...rather than what once was essentially wide open.

 

I never believed Mexico would cut a check.

But I figured that taxes, tariffs, sanctions or a combination thereof could be used to pay for a wall or fence.

The whole war of semantics about paying for it is just partisan political nonsense.

While I'm sure that a large number of meth induced gun toting mouth breathing inbreeding toothless hillbillies believed Mexico would be forced to hand over a check from the Bank of Mexico, most rational and prudent people always thought otherwise.

And I also believe those people don't really mind seeing their taxes being spent to fund the fencing, as opposed to funding and perpetuating illegals for the opposition's voting base.

So if some of the population sees Trump as a losing liar for this, well...whatever.

The end result should be that funding went towards fixing a serious problem, rather than feeding it.

 

A newly elected Democratic congresswoman has vowed to impeach Donald Trump, the US president, in an expletive-laced speech that has provoked outrage among Republicans.
Rashida Tlaib, who was sworn in on Thursday, said "we're gonna impeach the motherf-----" during a celebration party with supporters.
In a clip of the event circulated widely on social media on Friday, Ms Tlaib can be heard telling a crowd: "People love you. And you win.
"And when your son looks at you and says, 'Momma, look you won, bullies don't win.' And I said, 'Baby, they don't,' because we're gonna go in there and we're gonna impeach the motherf-----."
The US president responded in a tweet on Friday morning, saying: "How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong ... and is the most popular Republican in party history?"

Ms Tlaib, who represents a heavily Democratic district in Michigan, has defended the comments, saying "I will always speak truth to power".
"This is not just about Donald Trump. This is about all of us. In the face of this constitutional crisis, we must rise," she tweeted.
The congresswoman is a member of the ethnically diverse, progressive wing of the Democratic party which was sworn into the new Congress on Thursday.
The Justice Democrats group, which includesAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest ever congresswoman, and Ilhan Omar, the first member of Congress to wear a hijab, calls for members to reject corporate donations and describes itself as "working to change the Democratic Party from the inside".
A long-time critic of the Republican leader, Ms Tlaib was once arrested for heckling the then-candidate during his presidential campaign.
The morning of her entry into Congress, she labelled Mr Trump "a direct and serious threat to our country," in a co-authored op-ed for the Detroit Free Press. "We already have overwhelming evidence that the president has committed impeachable offences," she wrote. "The time for impeachment proceedings is now."

Good stuff Kid. My post was based on a guy I went to high school with. He worked for the border patrol back in the 80s and got so disgruntled with all the red tape and not having enough support that he quit. He eventually became a secret service agent.

 

I'm no Trump fan, but this bitch is hate-filled, ugly, disgrace. Damn, this country is full of dumbass people.

 

Agreed.

Tired of the political and racial division.

I'll vote for any person, from any party, that puts an end to all this hate and insanity.

Future isn't looking too bright, this psycho is proof. Even her own party is kinda walking back from her

 

USA is toast. Or tostada, as the libtard aspect dictates.

 

Ms Tlaib, who represents a heavily Democratic district in Michigan, has defended the comments, saying "I will always speak truth to power".

Lol, where have I heard this quote before?

Oh yeah, from our resident troll Drillbutt.

The same Drillbutt that uses Twitter and Elite Daily as "evidence" of "truth to power" lol.

Did a media bias check on his choice of reading material:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/elite-daily/

So, I posted actual facts about border issues. Still waiting on "educated" responses from white bread elitist SJW trolls like Drillbutt and Sigmund.

Bring it on, girls. Whatcha got?

 

Sigourney, like Kylie & fungal & the other girls before her, won’t have much other than the tried & true desperate tactic of deflection.

Thank effing Hayzeus keerist for the ‘Ignore’ button.

 

Only care to read the things you agree with huh, sounds about right for you.

 

Sigmund, Kyle, and Fungus are surfers. I'm sure they came to this site for the surf content. They just happen to have different opinions on political things then what seems to be a majority of the other surfers on this here site. They share stoke on the forum's surfing related topics. On political forums they stick to their guns and don't back down so they get my respect, even if I don't agree with some of their opinions.
However, there are some guys, or gals, that joined the forum around the time right after Trump got elected. From what little I see it looks like they ONLY post in this tread. If you only joined a surfing forum just to post in a political thread then you are a complete and utter tool.

 

Anyone who believes that Twitter or Elite Daily serves as a reputable and factual source of information obviously hasn't had their balls drop yet.

 

agreed

 

You think this is true Roque?

Why did the Migrants go to San Diego instead of a closer border in Texas??



In spite of the fact they had SOMEONE or SOME POLITICAL PARTY PAY to get them here,

And fed them on the way, bussed them across the long empty waterless stretches, arranged lodging, Medical care, now they walked an EXTRA 1,400 miles why?? Read below!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. That is certainly true with respect to the massive migrant caravan from Central America that has arrived in Tijuana .
In this case, the picture is the map below. The blue path is the one that the migrants took to the San Ysidro Port of Entry at Tijuana/San Diego, CA. The red path is the one that they could have taken to the Hidalgo Port of Entry at Reynosa/McAllen, TX.






Notice the difference? The path to McAllen is approximately 1,300 miles long; whereas the path to San Diego is approximately 2,700 miles long. So the caravan travelled more than twice as far as it needed to.

Why in the world would they do that? They didn’t have their own vehicles, and they weren’t carrying enough food or resources to justify the longer journey. There are two reasons.

The first reason can be summed up in two words: Ninth Circuit. The caravan members have been advised by liberal immigration attorneys all along. Not only were the migrants coached on what to say when claiming asylum, they were also evidently coached on where to go.

Travelling the extra 1,400 miles to Tijuana/San Diego would take the migrants to the Ninth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, with its numerous judges willing to minimize the President’s statutory authority to restrict entry of aliens into the United States . And the presence of similar federal judges at the district level in California would increase the probability that the migrants’ attorneys would obtain an initial ruling in their favor.

And that’s exactly what happened. When President Trump exercised his authority under 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) to “impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate,” a federal judge in San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order blocking the President’s action. The Ninth Circuit will likely agree with the district judge. Even if the Trump Administration prevails in any appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, it will take at least a year to reverse the district judge’s ruling.

The second reason for travelling twice the distance is that California is a sanctuary state with dozens of sanctuary cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco . Those jurisdictions will actively seek to protect the migrants who enter illegally from deportation.

On top of that, the state may interfere more directly with federal immigration enforcement. State Attorney General Xavier Becerra said recently that he might sue the federal government to stop the use of tear gas to defend the border or to stop the federal government from shutting down ports of entry. His argument is full of holes, but with the right judge that might not matter.

In contrast, in Texas , law enforcement agencies like the Texas Department of Public Safety cooperate with federal officials to improve border enforcement. To be sure, there are some sanctuary cities in Texas too; but it’s nothing like California .

In short, the migrants’ attorneys made sure that the caravan went the extra mile—or extra 1,400 miles—to arrive where the rule of law is the weakest in the United States . And their advice appears to be paying off. Federal immigration enforcement personnel can still prevail, but the playing field is tilted against them.

Kris W. Kobach is the elected Secretary of State of Kansas . An expert in immigration law and policy, he coauthored the Arizona SB-1070 immigration law and represented in federal court the 10 ICE agents who sued to stop Obama’s 2012 DACA executive amnesty. During 2001-03, he served as U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft’s chief adviser on immigration and border security at the U.S. Department of Justice. His website is kriskobach.com

 

Yes Jay, it's all spot on. Only the most ignorant of idiots would fail to see that the caravan was politically organized and financed by unknown groups in the US.

And, the timing was impeccable in that it coincided with the midterms.

But it's kinda like OJ and Nicole. Where's the evidence? It's very simple to claim plausible deniability, which sure seems to happen a lot on both sides of the fence these days, know what I mean?

How come nobody is reporting about it anymore? I assume that Fox and other conservative media might still cover it from time to time, but the MSM has completely dropped it (unless a child dies).

I think Trump really wants to do something. But I've studied this for decades and in reality, it's pretty obvious that both parties believe that a certain amount of illegal immigration is beneficial for America, as well as their parties (albeit for different reasons).

That's why so many Republicans back down from Trump's statements. Trump won't be president forever, and we still haven't figured out to give Congress term limits.

But that's a whole 'nother story lol

But yes, the caravan's chances are much better at the 9th Circuit. The 5th Circuit would've already acted to restrict their rights lol.

By the way: where did you find this story?

 

Not mine (respect).

They troll mercilessly. They flip the topic into personal terms. fungal is particularly relentless with his insistence that any treade he enters will be about him because 'he never loses, and burns people.'

The troll posse routinely switch topics mid-stream when they are cornered. Example, Archy basically demolished kylie on every single thing that kylie brought into this treade. Useless, because kylie is a bead of mercury. And I'm not saying that in a complimentary way.

wayne was a surfer, so was gruvi, so was the gnome, so was shartsnuffer (sponger, ok) - - I respectfully submit that a troll is a troll.

Anyways, whatever - - life is good, and it's better with the 'ignore' button praise jeebus.

 

Question for you, Kid: how about corruption on the USA side? How endemic is that in your opinion?

About 10 yrs ago, a chica in the DR told me that she could get a totally solid, enter-the-USA-with-it US passport for $20k or less. I doubted that; she was adamant that it was reality.

So, that's either highly skilled counterfeiters, or someone on our side providing passports for a cash & carry fee...
