Random Politics & Religion #00

It's a solution to keeping out Mongolian raiders or holding back loose soil... It won't do much to stem the imaginary flood of illegal immigrants, though.

I am shocked that not only has nobody mentioned this but that it isn't even being done right now with the technology already here and available.

A key talking point for proponents of amnesty for illegal aliens is that the Obama administration has made historic improvements to border security and immigration enforcement, leading to “record” numbers of deportations that surpass the performance of earlier administrations. In December 2012, John Morton, then-director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), announced that his agency had removed nearly 410,000 illegal aliens that year. Major news outlets, pro-amnesty lawmakers, and other Obama administration allies heralded this apparent milestone as evidence that the border and illegal immigration were now under control.

On the same day, to far less fanfare, Morton also announced the implementation of new restrictions on how the agents and officers working under him could use their authority to enforce immigration laws. They were told to curtail the use of detainers, or immigration holds, which give ICE officers the opportunity to question and take custody of illegal aliens identified after arrest by a local law enforcement agency. This directive built on an earlier memo, issued in June 2011, which ordered ICE agents not to arrest certain broad categories of illegal aliens, including minor criminals, long-time residents, students, parents, caregivers, and a long list of other excepted categories for whom there was otherwise no statutory basis for special treatment. These and other directives have been euphemistically characterized as “prosecutorial discretion.”

This report examines data from a collection of mostly unpublished internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE statistics, to provide an alternative evaluation of the administration’s record on immigration enforcement that is based on raw statistics rather than pre-packaged press kits. These statistics show that, contrary to what is commonly believed, in fact immigration enforcement in the interior has slowed significantly in the last few years. ICE is arresting and removing noticeably fewer illegal aliens from the interior now than was the case five years ago, and even two years ago. Its focus has shifted away from interior enforcement in favor of processing aliens who are apprehended by the Border Patrol.

Maybe because it already is.

I cut up your quotes to make it easier for you to understand my points. But, it appears that doesn't matter since you don't read them anyways. Every single question and argument you have made I have answered in the past 3-4 pages and proved wrong everything the President and Democrats are turning into politics.

I am not Going to Repeat myself for you AGAIN.

I said "it's was his job to appoint a judge...?". In the sense of, what possible politics could they be playing with this appointment if its his job. How you read that as me questioning whether you think its his job is beyond me.

You've never repeated yourself for me lol....?? You're so angry about doing something for me you haven't even been asked to do, I love it.

All I'm asking you to do is point out where a liberal has played politics in terms of Obama appointing a judge. This isn't an argument you make (thus need to repeat yourself), it would something you saw a liberal make that you copied and pasted. You originally said the politics being played on both sides is hilarious, show me the hilarious on the liberal side. Is this so complicated?

....
Edit: Is anyone still reading the partition crap Chanti keeps posting? I used too, but I have found that banging my head against a wall is time better spent.

You forgot to stomp your foot and cross your arms.. Really is no point debating anything with you since that is your answer for everything, even when blatantly proven wrong time and time again.

You didn't disprove anything I said, and unless you can provide different deportation numbers, you aren't going to.

You just tried to change the conversation and resort to pathetic insults that are always dismissed.

You didn't disprove anything I said

Bloomberg is pretty darn conservative economically. Time is fairly centrist.

You should read the Time one, you might learn something. The Bloomberg one is merely interesting for being the first time Cruz's eligibility will be tested in court.

I've been owning you for two pages

you might learn something

I showed you why those numbers are wrong. Not my fault you are biased.


Picking up your habits.. My bad. I didn't lie, unlike you.

I'm excited by the prospect of brokered conventions on both the democratic and republican side. We need a repeat of the 68 chicago convention with billy clubs and pepper spray.

No you didn't. You are in fact lying. The article you posted admitted the numbers are correct but tried to point out other things not related to the numbers. Like I said, unless you can post different deportation numbers, which you have not done, you are lying.

Ehh. I had a bunch of stuff typed up. I just decided to go talk to a wall instead.

I am actively rooting for the most ridiculous *** possible at this point. The sky is the limit!

Like, if we could get Trump+Cruz to re-enact Hamilton/Burr, the PPVs

Sanders picks a lesbian Filipino dwarf as a running mate or something.

Ehh. I had a bunch of stuff typed up. I just decided to go talk to a wall instead.

Good idea, since there is nothing for you to type, you actually need to post a link showing deportation numbers that show that Obama has not in fact deported more people than his predecessors. Or you can just admit that he has.

The number of returns is down and has been down since Bush because the number of people returning from Mexico is down, fewer people are coming back here, the article I posted clearly says that.
