To the scumbags that say, "Relax, it's mostly just 'property crimes'"

"
Property represents the stored value of time. When you destroy property, you fundamentally erase a human being’s time, never to be reclaimed. When you destroy property, you’re telling its owner(s), “I don’t give a f—k about you, and I don’t give a f—k about your finite time on earth as a person.”

Pick up any physical object you own. There are three ways—and only three ways—by which it could have come into your life (legitimately):
1. You created it
2. You purchased it
3. Someone gave it to you

In the case of (1), you directly exchanged your time to make the object.

In the case of (2), you exchanged your money (or some other store of value) in for it, after exchanging your time to earn said money.

In the case of (3), someone else exchanged their time to procure the object before rendering it to you.

That’s it. Those are the only three ways, and they all result from exchanged time. There’s no way around it.

Property equals time, the most precious, irreplaceable substance in our lives and in this universe. Property shouldn’t just be respected; it should be cherished. I will never abide people casually destroying it.

That's how I have always seen it, too. Sure, stuff is just stuff, but I like what I have and I've had to sacrifice to get whatever I have, so I appreciate it.

Sure, but do you know what the word interpretation means?

What is there to interpret in this?

1158. Asylum​

(a) Authority to apply for asylum​

(1) In general​

Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien's status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

There is no interpretation needed. Immigrants can and are granted legal status after crossing a border or overstaying a VISA illegally. Any other assertion is dumb MAGA BS.
 

Trump's Law-and-Order vs. Democrats' Open Border​

And, as Miranda Devine writes in the New York Post, “Trump has learned the lesson of 2020, and no longer has to deal with turncoats in his own administration.”

Remember, early on into the riots in Minneapolis and Seattle and elsewhere during the summer of 2020, Mr. Trump did not take any federal action. And those insurrections destroyed those cities.

In fact, in Seattle, the left-wing fanatics actually set up what they call “soviets” — using the old Russian communist structure.

But, today, Mr. Trump has his border tsar, Tom Homan; the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem; the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth; Attorney General Bondi, and others — who have no intention of letting the crazies take over Los Angeles. Or any other American city, for that matter.

Remember — Los Angeles is supposed to host the FIFA World Cup next year and the 2028 Olympics after that.

And who are Mr. Newsom and Ms. Bass protecting here?

How about — convicted sex abusers, drug dealers, and gang members.

So far, ICE has arrested nearly 120 illegal migrants over the past week in Los Angeles, from Mexico, the Philippines, Ecuador, Vietnam, and Peru. At the moment, the biggest share of these criminals hail from Mexico, hence the flying of Mexican flags.

Yet this is not Mexico. This is America.

And, even if Mr. Newsom and Ms. Bass don’t get it, California is part of America.

And Mr. Trump intends to keep it that way.

Preserving the union, in a Lincolnesque way. Reuniting California with the rest of the union, one might say.

Mr. Trump was elected to close the border and deport the criminals. Not that it really matters, but polls show more than 50 percent approval for this criminal deportation program.

He often talked during the campaign about how President Eisenhower deported a million illegals, mainly from Mexico, back in the 1950s under the direction of tough Army generals.

In other words, promises made, promises kept.

And, ultimately, this is not just simply about some kind of insurrection at the city of Los Angeles.

What Mr. Trump is doing is sending a signal around the world of his toughness and his willingness to take whatever measures necessary to maintain law and order and national sovereignty, for the protection and safety of the American people.
 

What Americans Are Watching Is To The Detriment Of Democrats, It's Politically Unsustainable​


That is what ICE is now doing, enforcing the laws by going around and conducting these raids and arresting people who have no right to be here and can legally be deported. For them to call it renegade, for her to call it renegade raids is incorrect. And the other thing about this, Jacqui, I don't understand is, I mean, people can look at this and tell that when she says these are peaceful demonstrations, well, some may be, but a lot of them are not.

And, you know, people do not approve of chunks of concrete and rocks being thrown at cars. They don't approve of cars being set on fire. They don't approve of violence against law enforcement officers. And make no mistake about it, it's not the federal authorities or federal troops that are in there that are being attacked, it's the local police. And this talk by Nancy Pelosi, Governor Newsom and others, Karen Bass, the mayor, gives every appearance that they are on the side of these violent protesters. I think that's a terrible look for Democrats.

LA riots reflect failure of progressive leadership

Los Angeles has a long, combustible history — and it’s flaring up again. The current unrest, driven in part by political grievances, reflects a deeper dysfunction steadily eroding the city’s foundations. Once a cradle of conservatism and the political home of Ronald Reagan, LA has become a hub...

Same as it ever was....

To the delight of people like Trump and his Right-wing supporters, LA reflects the failure of progressive governance. Despite pouring billions into public services, the city is facing a growing budget crisis — all while producing less new housing per capita than nearly every other major US metro. Downtown, once the focus of lavish investment in transit and convention infrastructure, has deteriorated into a cautionary tale: a half-finished skyscraper covered in graffiti, encircled by homeless encampments, and surrounded by hollowed-out buildings, some of which have been set on fire.

Nor is the political situation likely to get better soon. Mayor Karen Bass, the city’s Leftist mayor, seems unwilling to even broach the difference between legal and illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the Democratic Socialists of America’s Isabel Jurado, recently elected from East LA, is even worse. Not satisfied with defunding the police, she wants to abolish it too.

In today’s climate, no major political figure in California dares to publicly support the enforcement of immigration laws. Governor Newsom, for instance, has dismissed the presence of the National Guard — even in the face of attacks on government buildings — as unnecessary. This posture reflects not just ideological leanings, but also the influence of California’s most entrenched political force: public employee unions. Some of their leaders have even been accused of obstructing immigration enforcement efforts. Meanwhile, the media, particularly the Los Angeles Times, reliably echoes whatever narrative the protesters promote, blurring the line between coverage and advocacy.

This leaves America’s second-largest city projecting not glamour and prosperity, but chaos and decline. It’s a troubling image at a time when the future is increasingly being built elsewhere, in places willing to rein in their violent or politically unhinged fringes. Until city leaders find the will to restore order, Los Angeles will remain exactly what Trump needs: a case study in dysfunction that feeds his crude but potentially effective political strategy.
 

Trump's Approval Rating On Immigration Has Gone Up Like A Rocket Compared To 8 Years Ago​

LMAO....

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reports President Donald Trump's approval rating on immigration is up 40 net points compared to 8 years ago. Enten said the electorate agrees with Trump on deporting those who are here illegally and searching towns for those who are here illegally.

"Again, positive territory here above 50 percent for Donald Trump," Enten said. So it's not just on the broad issue of immigration where Trump is doing well. It's on the specifics. When you dive into the issues, Trump is above 50 percent and his actions are above 50 percent, at least with those most directly connected to what's going on right now out in Los Angeles."

"The American electorate believe that the Democrats don't have a clue on the issue of immigration," Enten said. "Closer to trust more in immigration, Democrats versus Republicans. Got three different polls for you across the board. They all tell the same story."

In 1900, the immigration procedure at Ellis Island was a detailed process, focusing on medical and legal inspections to determine an immigrant's eligibility for entry into the United States
.
1. Arrival and Initial Checks:
  • Immigrants arriving in New York Harbor would disembark from their steamship and be transported to Ellis Island by ferry or barge.
  • First and second-class passengers were generally exempt from extensive inspection at Ellis Island, receiving a cursory check onboard their ship. This was based on the assumption that their wealth indicated a lower likelihood of becoming a public charge.
  • Third-class passengers, often referred to as "steerage," went to Ellis Island for detailed inspection.
  • Upon arrival at Ellis Island, immigrants would gather their belongings, receive a number and a tag, and be directed to the main building, often the Registry Room (Great Hall).
2. Medical Examination:
  • The medical inspection was the first step, administered by doctors of the U.S. Public Health Service, also known as surgeons.
  • Doctors would perform swift and expert examinations during a routine procedure called the "line inspection".
  • They would look for signs of contagious diseases such as trachoma, tuberculosis, and diphtheria, as well as physical or mental weakness.
  • Immigrants who showed signs of illness were chalk-marked with a letter indicating the suspected ailment and directed to a separate examination room for a more thorough check.
  • Doctors would examine immigrants' faces for symmetry or defects, test vision, and listen to their hearts and lungs with a stethoscope.
  • Skin and scalp were inspected for fungal infections like ringworm.
  • Mental fitness was assessed through simple questions and tests involving puzzles or interpreting images.
  • While about 10% were detained for further medical examination, only about 1% were eventually denied entry due to medical reasons.
3. Legal Inspection:
  • Following the medical inspection, immigrants underwent a legal screening.
  • Inspectors, often with the help of interpreters, would question immigrants about their background, occupation, destination, and financial resources.
  • The information provided was compared against the ship's manifest, a document containing details about the immigrant filled out at their port of departure.
  • If discrepancies were found, or if inspectors had concerns, the immigrant could be detained for further legal examination, possibly in a Board of Special Inquiry hearing.
  • A major concern was whether an immigrant was "liable to become a public charge" - unable to support themselves and potentially a burden on society.
  • The Alien Contract Labor Law of 1885 prevented immigrants from entering under contract for work, which aimed to stop the importation of cheap labor but caused dilemmas for those with promised jobs.
  • Single women traveling alone might be detained until they could demonstrate their ability to support themselves.
  • About 10% of immigrants were referred to the Board of Special Inquiry, but ultimately, only about 2% were deported for legal or medical reasons.
4. Outcomes:
  • Most immigrants passed through Ellis Island within a few hours and were allowed to enter the country.
  • Those who were detained for medical or legal reasons could stay on the island for varying periods, from overnight to several months, before a final decision on their case was made.
  • Detained immigrants could appeal negative decisions to the Commissioner and then to the immigration bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.
  • Ultimately, if denied entry, immigrants would be deported back to their home country.
  • The vast majority of immigrants were treated courteously and respectfully, and the process, while potentially daunting, allowed most to embark on their new lives in America

Was President Eisenhower Deranged?

Democrat politicians (again) tout their support for those preventing, hindering, or delaying the execution of federal laws.
johnalucas6.substack.com johnalucas6.substack.com

In September 1957, President Eisenhower ordered the deployment of elements of the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas, to enforce federal law that was being flaunted by a Democratic governor. The only one who complained were die-hard white supremacists. My, hasn’t the worm turned? Let’s start with Gavin Newsom’s calumny and then look at this history. We will then wrap up with a short synopsis that shows how prominent Democrats have drummed up anti-ICE hysteria to support those who seek to “prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of the laws of the United States.”

You don't get legal status by wandering across the border. Applying for asylum is asking permission to stay. We are under no obligation to say yes. Temporary protection is exactly that, temporary. We can yank it anytime we feel like it.

Never said that immigration courts have to say yes. You just cant call them illegal if they adhered to the immigration law. Trump cant yank it anytime he feels like it if asylum has been granted. He can revoke certain temporary status but doing so and then sending them to prison in another country is illegal.
