Fatty Liver Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Trump is continuing to ramp up the rhetoric, threatening to deport any undocumented immigrant that has a criminal record. Inevitably the increasing level of threats directed towards specific immigrant populations will turn the current trickle of refugees seeking asylum in Canada into a flood by early summer. Couldn't imagine a worse neighbour, they know the collateral effect of their policies and they don't give a damn. Our problem, is part of their convenient solution. It's akin to running a sewer pipe onto your neighbours property to dispose of your fecal matter. I hope Trudeau has the balls to stuff a billion dollar invoice into Trump's cake hole and kick him in the nuts after this all plays out, cause you, I, and KBF are going to be the ones paying the bill. “What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump told "60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl, according to a preview of the interview released by CBS. “But we’re getting them out of our country. They’re here illegally.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/13/donald-trump-plans-to-immediately-deport-2-to-3-million-undocumented-immigrants/?utm_term=.8689e47ba96f

Great. It shouldn't be that way but what do you expect from a progressive snowflake like him? Yeah, I'd be telling Trump we're just going to send all these people back along with a bill for each "refugee" being processed as they set foot first in his country. Trump shouldn't be beaking off about the Australians when he does it a hundred thousand times worse.

HI Mark H. ..... article about some research (have not read the research paper) Quote In an office at U of T’s Centre of Criminology, overlooking the Ontario legislature in Queen’s Park, Dinovitzer and Levi explain their findings. The overall rate of what they called “youthful illegalities” — drinking, taking drugs, petty theft, vandalism, fighting, and so on — was significantly lower in the immigrant-rich 1999 cohort, and in both groups immigrant kids were less likely than their peers to engage in delinquent behaviour. Also, as Sampson had discovered, the disinclination to commit crime extended across all nationalities; it didn’t matter whether a teenager’s family was from India or Trinidad or China. Specific cultural values were not at play; nor could behaviour be chalked up to a given ethnic group’s parenting style (sorry, Tiger Moms). “[The model minority] has been a fetish of a lot of the media,” Dinovitzer says. “They want to focus on the good Korean kids, or some other group. Our study unequivocally shows there’s no difference between these immigrant groups.” However, second generation immigrant kids (defined in this study as having been born in Canada or at least having arrived here before age six) were more likely than first generation immigrants (having arrived past the age of twelve) to get into fights, take drugs, vandalize, or steal. In other words, the newer the immigrant, the better behaved he or she was. The U of T study, which was published in 2009, shortly after Sampson’s findings, has done a great deal to validate the theory that immigration decreases crime. And the case is only getting stronger: Statistics Canada has now released findings from a spatial analysis of crime data in Canadian cities that suggest the percentage of recent immigrants in various regions of Toronto and Montreal is inversely proportional to all types of violent crime; https://www.cifar.ca/assets/arrival-of-the-fittest-canadas-crime-rate-is-dropping-as-immigration-increases-is-there-a-connection/ Edited February 23, 2017 by Mark F edited Wanna-B-Fanboy, Jacquie, bb.king and 1 other 4

Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Quote GOP lawmaker invokes Gabby Giffords in concerns about town hall safety At first, I was; "Yeah, that makes sense- it's smart to have those concerns and should maybe take some precautions". Then I found out Rep. Louie Gohmert is not going to do a town hall in person because of Gabby Giffords incident... What a ******* coward. Good response from Mrs. Giffords though. Quote Giffords issued a response to Gohmert Thursday, rebuking his decision not to meet with constituents in person. "To the politicians who have abandoned their civic obligations, I say this: Have some courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls," said Giffords in a statement. She added: "I was shot on a Saturday morning. By Monday morning my offices were open to the public. Ron Barber -- at my side that Saturday, who was shot multiple times, then elected to Congress in my stead -- held town halls. It's what the people deserve in a representative." http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/23/politics/louie-gohmert-gabby-giffords/index.html
do or die Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 A few Republican legislators....are feeling the heat these days. Some of them are attempting to deflect or simply run away..... Concepts like "Repeal ObamaCare", "Build a Wall", "Make America safe" etc.......are nice soundbites - but there are effects and consequences for people who pay taxes and need medical coverage. Also areas with sizeable racial groups and immigrant populations have their own questions about what the Repubs, really have in mind. Some of the grassroots.... are probably beginning to suspect....... that they have been had.
Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I thought Policies were produced to fit intelligence reports. Here is what is happening, here is what we need to do about it. So, if I understand correctly- intelligence reports are being asked to be manufactured in order to support policy that is based on ideology... a conclusion in search of evidence. That is frightening. Quote White House effort to justify travel ban causes growing concern for some intelligence officials Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has assigned the Department of Homeland Security, working with the Justice Department, to help build the legal case for its temporary travel ban on individuals from seven countries, a senior White House official tells CNN. Other Trump administration sources tell CNN that this is an assignment that has caused concern among some administration intelligence officials, who see the White House charge as the politicization of intelligence -- the notion of a conclusion in search of evidence to support it after being blocked by the courts. Still others in the intelligence community disagree with the conclusion and are finding their work disparaged by their own department. "DHS and DOJ are working on an intelligence report that will demonstrate that the security threat for these seven countries is substantial and that these seven countries have all been exporters of terrorism into the United States," the senior White House official told CNN. "The situation has gotten more dangerous in recent years, and more broadly, the refugee program has been a major incubator for terrorism." More here Edited February 23, 2017 by wanna-b-fanboy
