  2. Constipationman is always angry on Fridays. He sees the amount of taxes being taken of his paycheck out in California and goes into a rage.

    Don't get angry Constipationman. Your tax dollars are funding the education and healthcare of illegal immigrants. Your tax dollars are also working overtime in the human waste removal efforts on the streets San Francisco.

    Cheer up! :)

  3. Is this "clueless Friday?" Of course it would be nice if we didn't incentivize illegal aliens and bogus asylum claimants. But dems have blocked all efforts to reform the system. In fairness, plenty of republicans are amnesty/open borders sell outs. California even passed a state referendum banning benefits for illegals. A district court judge knocked it down and the new democrat governor refused to appeal.

    And Trump did not act because of a few mexicans slipping across the border. He acted because mexico is openly facilitating the caravan invasion. Mexico is on very thin ice here. Like the Chinese they have had things their own way for way too long. So of course they are not just going to voluntarily agree to do something for us. They have to be forced to do it, and Trump knows how to apply leverage. They will submit, but it is disgusting to see Americans rooting for Trump to fail. We've used the carrot with these Latin American countries for too long. Now they will feel the stick, wielded by a crazed orange man.

    I'll use good old Welch's Grape Jelly for the time being. Maybe I won't go back to avocados at all.

    The numbers of migrants slipping in is increasing not, decreasing! Yesterday, it was over 1,000 migrants in Texas alone. How many thousands more per day should we tolerate? The porous border argument is lame. Let us see Mexico shut its border gates to the migrants and prevent them coming in. They would have to turn back with nobody supporting them, providing them food, shelter and monies among other things! If they try to go around, they would have to pay coyotes which would charge them enormous amounts to smuggle them around. Not everyone can pay such high prices to the coyotes. It is not asking Mexico too much to have them make an effort first! They are not even half-trying but, on top of that, ferrying the migrants to the US border in buses!

    I'm sure there are companies that employ illegal labor. But the labor is already here. This goes back to the whole "you can have a welfare state or open borders, but not both" argument. I'm not debating any of that at all. I'm just saying a tariff won't work to stop illegal immigration. At all.

    Not disagreeing with you. Just saying a tariff won't stop illegal immigration at all. Not even slow it down.

  9. A tariff by itself will not but if the threat of a tariff motivates mexico to stop facilitating the caravan invasion, that will certainly help. Mexico is notoriously corrupt and officials there are probably being bribed to assist this invasion. They're not going to turn that money down because we ask nicely.

    They should be grateful Trump is only using tariffs. This guy has a different approach.

    Maybe, we should do like Hungary and convert shipping containers into detention centers because we are forced to release migrants who cannot be detained due to lack of detention centers!
