WTF did I miss? it'd also be part 4.Speaking of FAFO l, who's going start Ukraine Bullshit part 3?
I haven’t checked into that thread in a while either. There can’t be anyone in there that’s arguing in favor of Ukraine, can there?WTF did I miss? it'd also be part 4.
And exactly when the fuck were you ever pulled over and the cop didn't first ask for your driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. WTF....I'm sorry but this is just stupid.Authority figure (cop) disrupts your business and immediately demands to see your "papers".
What ?I’m certainly not against sending the illegals back but these raids of people just trying to work is not a good look.
Illegals are able to find work. Work that pays well enough to live off of (a living wage). Maybe welfare is paying too good?I’m certainly not against sending the illegals back but these raids of people just trying to work is not a good look.
we don't always know what the operations are targeting and why.I’m certainly not against sending the illegals back but these raids of people just trying to work is not a good look.
Highest priority illegals should be the violent ones. Once they are taken care of, sure go after people who are just here workingIllegals are able to find work. Work that pays well enough to live off of (a living wage). Maybe welfare is paying too good?
There's plenty of ways for someone to come into the country legally and work. As with the clot shots. No sympathy.
Lowest hanging fruit always the easy fast pickings . One thing I am positive of. There NOT going to enough deportation done before 2028.Highest priority illegals should be the violent ones. Once they are taken care of, sure go after people who are just here working
There were Ukrainian shills, they pop out in bursts, probably when the foreign aid money comes in.I haven’t checked into that thread in a while either. There can’t be anyone in there that’s arguing in favor of Ukraine, can there?
I'll sum it up for you , college degree bad , trade school good.......Your statement is absolutely correct but (respectfully speaking) even for the "good" degrees they continue to increase in expense (due to demand) and that increases the supply of new graduates in said field which in turn lowers the compensation for "late adopters" in those fields.
As hard as it is for me- I'll try to not be overly long winded. Some examples that I've seen personally...
-There was an absolute boom for anyone with a degree or certification in web design up until the early 2000's. For a time it was a foolproof career with unlimited growth... until it wasn't and we had the Dot com bubble bust and those in the pipeline to be web designers ended up working at Starbucks.
-A few years later I particularly remember finance being a hot degree, one you couldn't miss with, until the "Great Recession" came along and all the "finance bro's" were laid off in droves and the recently graduated... well many of them too ended up at the Starbucks equivalent because that profession/degree went flat.
-You heard it here first, the next major bubble we're going to see is in cybersecurity. There's only so many jobs in that field that exist & the professionals worth their salt have programming/networking/etc backgrounds and grew into cybersecurity. These recent grads become greater every year because that's the next "sure thing" for a career but I'm telling you the bubble is going to pop soon and drastically.
-On the topic of the IT career field, you've heard it here first (again) but one segment being decimated is networking professionals because the trend is for companies to outsource that to "cloud" companies (essentially just massive data centers) and they no longer need to employ networking staff. Remember a few years ago with the "learn to code" quip? Well the recent compsci majors are eating their words now because the tech industries are quietly but largely scaling back. Part of the phenomenon with this is how rapidly programing languages are changing. In my time a solid foundation were languages such as C++, C#, Java, HTML and then in short order you saw languages like Perl, Ruby, and now python come into vogue and in short order. The one programing language I've seen continue to stand the test of time is COBOL and that's because all the programs are "legacy" and nobody teaches it because COBOL is 'dead'.
I'm only going to rant if I keep going on and that's not the intention of this thread. I just want to say that college is increasingly more expensive, the "good" degrees are a shrinking commodity, and the only guarantee one has in graduating is that they' owe whatever note they carry with Uncle Sam's backing to Sallie Mae.
Blue collar crime vs white collar crime. The non violent are breeding anchor babies, their children are occupying schools costing untold dollars and the education of the citizens children, they are a burden on the healthcare system, they abuse the social handouts of welfare, food stamps etc, identity theft, driving without insurance or a license, auto accidents causing injury and death of citizens and the list goes on and on.Highest priority illegals should be the violent ones. Once they are taken care of, sure go after people who are just here working
I dont think problems stem from those who come here to work. You can leave those people alone in my opinion. I think we actually want those people, right? They are actually doing something with their lives!Go hard after the people employing the illegals. It will fix itself quick. The only solution.

Just to play Devils Advocate. Having an illegal workforce creates a permanent underclass that can be abused by unscrupulous employers and landlords. Often crime victims, for fear of reporting. Can depress wages, because wage and hourly laws can often be violated with immunity. Can easily harbor a criminal element. An example, the now overwhelming fleet of uninsured and unregistered Venezuelan moped Door Dashers in some of our large cities.I dont think problems stem from those who come here to work. You can leave those people alone in my opinion. I think we actually want those people, right? They are actually doing something with their lives!
Looks fine to me. This is what I voted for.I’m certainly not against sending the illegals back but these raids of people just trying to work is not a good look.
^^^this. So much this.Blue collar crime vs white collar crime. The non violent are breeding anchor babies, their children are occupying schools costing untold dollars and the education of the citizens children, they are a burden on the healthcare system, they abuse the social handouts of welfare, food stamps etc, identity theft, driving without insurance or a license, auto accidents causing injury and death of citizens and the list goes on and on.
Violent or not. Get rid of every one of them. When they start snatching the white collar illegals the self deportation may just increase enough to make a difference.
You have a low probability of violent crime against you by an illegal but you have a 100% chance of the non violent illegal effecting you. States, counties and cities are raising taxes to cover the cost of them. Insurance companies are raising prices to cover the non insured liability. Areas of every city are turning into third world slums of non English speaking illegals.
federal student loans are 6.39% to 8.94% now, but private student loans can be 2.95% to 17.99% or higher.I'm likely more sympathetic than most on this topic but this one is throwing all different kinds of smoke to me.
I can believe the $90K balance but 17% interest rates... I'm just not seeing how that is possible for someone her age.
If I remember my loans right (and I'm sure I'm darn close if not) the subsidized loans were 4.5% and the unsubsidized loans were 6.5% for my undergraduate. Granted- the interest rates were (at that time) quite a bit above what private loans offered BUT there were certain options/contingencies available by keeping the student loans with Sallie Mae rather than consolidating them with a private bank/credit union like most of my "smarter" colleagues did.
How this woman was able to move that large of a balance to a loan rate of 17%... I'm just racking my brain on how that could happen. As far as I know they don't offer consolidation loans with adjustable rates and if that's accurate- then the closest thing I can think of is she rolled the debt onto an unsecured credit card (hence the interest rate) and was suckered in with either promises of a reduced/0% interest rate for the first year or two and/or she'd get "points" or "cash back" from the debt she rolled over to said company.
If there's any accuracy in my assumptions- then the discussion can no longer be about a dumb 18 year old signing a note without knowing anything and instead becomes a college 'educated' 20 something or another having all those extra years of school and not having learned anything of any intrinsic value (which I have a much harder time being empathetic for).
Meanwhile, in Durham, North Carolina. . .I enjoy seeing all of the closet democrats here coming out in support of criminal invaders.
Entering a country illegally is a crime.
Obtaining public assistance when you are not a citizen is a crime in most cases.
Stealing housing. Want to make a dent in the homeless problem? Deport 20,000,000 people who should have never been here in the first place.
Stealing a job. Working without a proper visa is a crime. Then you can add the actual crimes of trafficking drugs and kids and whatever else they are doing.
Exploiting undocumented foreign workers is a crime. Start charging employers too.
These people send tens of billions of dollars a year back to their home countries be they live rent free, eat free, enjoy free medical, dental and vision on the government dime. This cheap labor will destroy the country.
Deport them all. I'm sure some of them are nice enough but they ALL broke the law. Enough already.

North Carolina city declares itself a 'Fourth Amendment Workplace' to protect illegal immigrants from ICE
A city in North Carolina has approved a measure declaring itself a "Fourth Amendment Workplace" and boosting protections for illegal immigrant workers targeted by ICE.www.foxnews.com
I understand all of this and agree with it. The only thing I’m saying is that I would rather see the violent ones targeted before the ones who just want to provide for their familiesBlue collar crime vs white collar crime. The non violent are breeding anchor babies, their children are occupying schools costing untold dollars and the education of the citizens children, they are a burden on the healthcare system, they abuse the social handouts of welfare, food stamps etc, identity theft, driving without insurance or a license, auto accidents causing injury and death of citizens and the list goes on and on.

We can only hope that 20 million is the final number and that it doesn’t turn out to be false later.I remember throughout Obamas administration everyone was claiming there were only 11 million illegals and now we find out that 20 million more came in under Biden. We all know the 11 million figure was a lie. We can’t have a country where 10% of the population is illegal. That is not acceptable. It is not workable. The US is for Americans.
Go hard after the people renting rooms to illegals, fully aware of whom they’re renting to. It will sort itself out fast.Go hard after the people employing the illegals. It will fix itself quick. The only solution.
The illegals that work do not pay like you and I. They milk the system we fund while not putting $$ in like us retards do. We are not the same.I dont think problems stem from those who come here to work. You can leave those people alone in my opinion. I think we actually want those people, right? They are actually doing something with their lives!
The irony is that the ones who don’t work and live on welfare are out burning cars and showing the flag of the very country they escaped from, crossing a ten-meter wall to get here.The illegals are living off of the system and sending their paychecks back home. Fact. Yes many are hard workers doing jobs Americans do not want to do.
what about the companies that want to compete for business honestly, but they have to compete with companies that hire hundreds of illegals, ostensibly so they can pay them significantly less that american workers?I understand all of this and agree with it. The only thing I’m saying is that I would rather see the violent ones targeted before the ones who just want to provide for their families

Should have gone to a trade school instead. All I can say is 'you fucked up'... big time. I don't feel the least bit bad for her, SHE is the one who took out the loan. SHE should have read the fine print. SHE obviously hasn't got a clue about compounding interest. Maybe instead of $1500/mo she should be doing $2500 and live on ramen for a few years, which is what she should have done instead of taking out the loan in the first place.I'm likely more sympathetic than most on this topic but this one is throwing all different kinds of smoke to me.

For fuck’s sakewhat about the companies that want to compete for business honestly, but they have to compete with companies that hire hundreds of illegals, ostensibly so they can pay them significantly less that american workers?
not only does this steal jobs from legal residents, but it prevents honest businesses that employ americans from thriving.
There's 80,000 new IRS agents that can go after the non violent illegals instead of looking for my 400 dollar payment through PayPal.For fuck’s sake
I want the violent ones targeted BEFORE the ones who are just working. I still want anyone here illegally to be sent home. Not sure how many times or ways I can say this without it being strawmanned to death

How's that for compromise?
After a little thought. They need incentives. So the IRS agents that deport the most get to keep their jobs. They can be assigned to DOGE to find the waste and fraud in government.OK, that’s a pretty good one… I’m absolutely stealing that!
go ahead and tell us how we can separate the chaff from the wheat, and we can do that. or shut the fuck up if all you have is feelings.For fuck’s sake

What I haven't seen is the families of the violent illegals being deported with the violent illegal. They been making a big deal about "Maryland Man" and his deportation. Nothing about the wife he abused or his kids being put on a plane back to El Salvador.go ahead and tell us how we can separate the chaff from the wheat, and we can do that. or shut the fuck up if all you have is feelings.
i don't give a fuck at this point. if they aren't legal, gtfo. every penny spent on illegals is money stolen from americans.What I haven't seen is the families of the violent illegals being deported with the violent illegal. They been making a big deal about "Maryland Man" and his deportation. Nothing about the wife he abused or his kids being put on a plane back to El Salvador.
Edit: She's probably cleaning hotel rooms. Right, right? And the kids are not enrolled in public schools and getting social security and food stamps

which means they "qualify" for section 8 housing and welfare. they should be removed.Wife and children have always been American citizens.
