Carbon emissions costs are not just non-monetary cost. The chickens will come home to roost eventually. Then the monetary costs will be staggering
As noted before I do contribute more than just taxes. I enjoy working with habitat for humanity, and unlike most people my age I actually know how to use a hammer... lol
Sometimes. Depends how much I’ve been drinking
Be careful measuring your junk with a tape measure. They’re sharp...
Actually when I poasted that my mind was not in the gutter. I had a kid measure a piece of stock once and he said "whatever number and 3 little lines", I said you mean 3/16ths?
Why so afraid of brown people? Are you scared they will come and mow your yard or clean your gutters?
I can't speak for him, but for me, it's them bringing in third world viruses and bankrupting this country, mainly the latter.
Depending on which ledger you use, the country is well beyond bankrupt. The currency is debt-based. The US treasury doesn't print its own currency. The entire system is fiat and illusion anyway.
Good point @NoleSoup4U no one even mentions that more than likely none of these folks have had their vaccinations.
True. But I’m still confused how a few thousand people will have any significant impact on the budget...
Wouldnt it be awesome to be deployed away from your family over the holidays to the southern border to intercept a caravan of migrants and refugees walking across mexico that are still hundreds of miles away. Good times.
I don't disagree, but adding to the problem isn't a good idea.
A few thousand people will have no significant impact on the deficit, much less the debt. And for all you know, very few of them would end up on government assistance long term. They’ll likely contribute more in taxes than they get back in assistance in the long run.
It isn't just a few thousand people. Look, would you rather give retired people a COLA increase that could actually keep up with inflation, or take that money and give it to someone who has never worked here a day in their life? I vote for the citizens. What about you?
It’s estimated to be around 14,000 people. That will have no significant impact.
It’s absurd to assume they’ve never worked a day in their lives. How do you think they survived in their home countries? And it’s also absurd to assume they won’t work once they get here.
There’s plenty of money to take in some refugees and take care of retirees. False dichotomy for 1000 please Alex
Do you think those will be the only illegals who have ever or will ever try to come into this country?
Again, help out illegals or help out citizens? You have to make a choice sooner or later and we don't have an infinite amount of resources.
It isn’t illegal to request asylum at the border. And they haven’t even gotten to the border so calling them illegals is just ridiculous.
We don’t have to make that choice because we have enough to take care of those 14K people and our own citizens. Hard to do that when republicans keep going after the social safety net though...
What's up with all of this racism you keep spewing?
We simply cannot let those caravan immigrants into our country while we are in the process of making America white again . . . if only, they were from Norway, you know, white, blonde & beautiful . .
Yeah, PRLyles . . . who do you think you are, the POTUS . . ?
Yeah, PRLyles . . . who do you think you are, the POTUS . . ?
Racism like assuming that Central and South Americans won’t work and will just be seeking government handouts? Not saying you made that assumptions but plenty of other people have...
I'm trying to grasp how people who are here illegally are getting a full government assistance ride. I've known people who are American citizens from families going back to the 18th century who have had to run a gauntlet to get minimal food stamps when times got really tough... my own mother, when my father was dying from Agent Orange.
I'm pretty sure we have enough children dying from our own home-grown illnesses . . why come here just to die from the adenovirus that has taken 10 of our children's lives in New Jersey ?

It was a joke. I made a similar joke the other day saying the same thing about Mexicans and yardwork. Some people took offense when I said it. I guess there's a double standard.
Well sh!t, you're not the best jokester then . . it seemed to me that you were implying that only Mexican folks enjoyed gardening, and btw, for someone that didn't vote for 45, you sure like defending him a lot.
Gotcha. I thought you were asking him what racism is he talking about
I said almost the exact same thing he said. The only difference is I'm married to and had children with a Mexican.
I've criticized him plenty of times as well. You seem to forget that.
I just prefer orange people. You got a problem with orange people?
