Later — I will post the links to my earlier posts on proposed immigration policy. It has been consistent and has not changed over the years.
One other approach is since the U.S. is offshoring all of its industry, stop looking to China and India and look to set up plants and centers in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador (and Cuba in my opinion). Bringing economic prosperity to those countries and getting more competitive labor and production without the bullshit of Asia shipping lanes (as we saw during COVID) will keep more people in those countries getting the American dream rather than running here for it. Partnership with private business and those governments will ensure development and foreign direct investment. Set up a few free trade zones and Asian entities will move production there as well. Most people judge those countries based on who crosses the border (significantly poor) rather than the average citizen there who is educated, can speak english with more training, and represents a good work force.
Makes no sense we're willing to build up w/commie China and Vietnam but not commie Cuba and leftist Venezuela.
Let's take a walk down memory lane outlining my posts regarding immigration. My personal position has been very consistent and clear for a long period of time. Some of the highlights include having current illegal immigrants in the U.S. obtain a visa to stay in the country so they are here "legally", reforming the immigration system to allow more legal immigrants into the U.S. legally, and stopping illegal immigrants from pouring over the border. Let's start with this post from 2012 as an example - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...for-illegal-aliens.253132/page-2#post-3675858 Then let's take a look on my perspective on immigration to Canada in 2014 - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...iers-inside-canada.287277/page-9#post-4042130 Let's take a look a more complete summary of my points about proposed immigration policy - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/general-election-2020.342033/page-36#post-5231830 It is interesting to note that you were called out directly in the above post under your former user name, H4M, for deliberately using selective quoting to misrepresent my position on immigration. Trying to present a view that is exactly 180 degrees opposite of what I actually stated. A post on how to stop the illegal immigration surge at the southern border - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-border-crisis-on-steroids.356912/page-21#post-5392376 Of course as stated in this post -- no one in this forum really want to address or debate the actual issues with immigration policy - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-border-crisis-on-steroids.356912/page-23#post-5400120 Some additional statements about the need for immigration reform - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/i-havent-been-to-europe-either.359337/page-7#post-5401150 https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-border-crisis-on-steroids.356912/page-40#post-5436931 ============================================= At this point I am done with your selective quotation and misrepresentation when it comes to my views and perspectives. It is abusive and childish on your part. The post I responded to here is also an example of this absurd behavior by you. At this point if there is one more instance of this type of abusive behavior from you directed at me then you will be put on block/ignore.
lol COPE O P E You can ignore all you want, readers will still be directed to the truth of your past.
Cuba is the biggest blunder perpeuated by 50,000 citizens of the U.S. Cuba has a pretty educated population and quite trainable and significant undeveloped land and port resources to become an offshore industrial development and service center for the U.S., not to mention tourism. Dems try to win elections reducing basic sanctions and nothing more nad GOP win elections increasing sanctions. It is a silly game. 100% of cubans not in the government just want a life like everyone else. China is already building hotels in the past 10 years and any new car you see is Chinese. the nicest hotels are european while U.S. is just miles away.
