    You live under a rock apparently or you think that you will not be affected by Bidenomics. Won't spoil it for you. Maybe, you got a good job and feel it does not affect you, wait till one of the 87,000 IRS auditors the Democrats hired to go after you. They will because there are not enough revenues to fund all the freebies being doled out to the lazy slugs. Inflation is sky high and if you just look at the prices of groceries, rent, everything practically, is very expensive now. How are people supposed to survive?

    Surprise... he is doing it!

    I think you would disagree strongly if this impacted you more. Have you seen the mayors of sanctuary cities crying that they can't function anymore because they have no more resources? Each migrant is costing tens of thousands of dollars. Its utterly insane when you consider the government is beyond broke.

    My friends in NYC are feeling it but it’s not unconstitutional. In fact from what I’ve read, the shipping of these migrants across state lines (from TX to NY) might be unconstitutional but I don’t know.

    on the student debt. A quick search seems to indicate he’s trying another angle to get this done. (Like trump did with the Muslim ban).

    The reporter asked some where they were from and those asked said where they came from. They could be lying, of course, but their lack of "New Yawk" accents shows they were truthful.

    I think I see your point now. Since the U.S. has a "catch and release" policy, once released, homeless migrants are similar to homeless non-migrants. And, sanctuary cities like New York don't provide much sanctuary.

    No, that is your point.

    I understand that to a saddle a person with 200k debt and no way out is a death sentence. So they should at least allow them to go bankrupt, and they should go after all the predatory schools. But at the end of the day, when the government gives you loan forgiveness, this means that a person who didn't get a degree has to pay for the person who did. It will once again not be a direct payment, but hidden in that inflation number.

    There are millions of people who have been waiting years for their application to be processed to come to the US. Why don't they just take a plane ticket to Mexico and walk across the border? They will even get the freebies too upon arrival, which you don't get when you take the legal route.

    Americans are struggling paying for healthcare... why should these people get it for free?

    back to the point. It’s not a constitutional issue. It’s a policy one.

    A so-so Mel Gibson movie Blood Father (2016) had a few lines of dialogue something along the lines of:-

    (keep in mind he is no flaming Hollywood Libber, and has, for the most part, total editorial control of the movies he makes and stares in nowadays)

    Mel Gibson's character: I don't like seeing all the illegals in this country.

    Bill Macy's character: Well who do you suppose will pick all the fruits and vegetables.

    MG: Americans

    BM: There aren't any White people that will do it.

    MG: What about Eve?

    BM: Hell what do you think the Garden of Eden was in Norway? :D
