Soldiers were recently served toast and lima beans for dinner at Fort Carson. Over $151 Million Taken from Soldiers' Paychecks for Food Costs Spent Elsewhere by the Army The money is collected in what amounts to a tax on troops -- taken from their Basic Allowance for Subsistence payments, roughly $460 per month that is automatically deducted from the paychecks of service members. https://www.military.com/daily-news...aychecks-food-costs-spent-elsewhere-army.html Over $151 Million Taken from Soldiers' Paychecks for Food Costs Spent Elsewhere by the Army
Fully - absolutely fully- explained in my post #637 above. You are welcome. You will see that in that post I told viewers "don't be like GWB" too dumb to understand it, then you come along right on schedule .......too dumb to understand it. Oh, the shame. Maybe shut down you window with Pornhub running while reading that post to see if it helps with your comprehension problem.
Maybe you need to comprehend that these arrests (away from the border) are completely different than detention at the border. Two totally separate counts. Don’t conflate them. At this point you should simply admit that Trump’s illegal immigrants deportation effort is nothing more than a performative failure. A mere show - or to be exact a circus.
Yeh well, I will take that mere show of how many are crossing under Trump compared to Biden's any day of the week. You would be comparing a full on invasion under Biden to a few hundred per day and decreasing under Trump. You can flap your gums all you want.
We have NO officially released data of border crossings under Trump yet. All we have are claims by administration officials and purported leaked data. Let’s wait for the official data before making any assertions.
Trump's arrest and deportation effort has become a laughable joke. Not only are they just releasing the majority of the arrestees back into the United States but they have arrested fewer illegal immigrants in four weeks than nearly in every month of Biden's term in office. Keep in mind that arrests are different than detentions at the border. Trump's illegal immigrant arrest efforts are a complete clusterf@ck performative show with no planning and flawed execution. Firings and White House anger as Trump's ICE struggles to hit arrest numbers: report https://www.rawstory.com/ice-trump/ Despite the Trump administration's media blitz showing "Cops TV-style roundups" of undocumented migrants that has struck fear even in the hearts of school children, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is falling short of President Donald Trump's promise to deport "millions" of people straight out of the gate, according to a new report in The Washington Post. The administration's initial goals of "1,200 to 1,500 arrests per day," netted just "800 per day in late January after Trump took office to fewer than 600 during the first 13 days of February," wrote reporters Nick Miroff and Marianne LeVine. "ICE spent weeks leading up to Inauguration Day preparing target lists of people they could arrest during the opening salvo of Trump’s promised crackdown," they wrote. However, anonymous current and former ICE officials told them that "Those target lists have been depleted, and with so many officers working six or even seven days a week, the agency has had little time to do the research, surveillance and planning required to rebuild them and coordinate arrests." To help bring up numbers, "Trump has enlisted officers and agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. marshals, the FBI and other agencies," the report continued. However, Jason Houser, chief of staff for ICE during the Biden administration told them, “I see a lot of show," adding that federal officials who usually investigate illicit firearms, drugs and sex traffickers are now “standing around in their jackets arresting noncriminals” in an attempt to keep up appearances. The report added, "The top two enforcement officials at ICE were removed from their jobs this week and reassigned due to what Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem said was a lack of 'results.'" The WaPo report also states that "a major hindrance to Trump’s mass deportation goals has been ICE’s limited resources and staffing," prompting Republican lawmakers to say they want to "infuse the agency with billions in additional funding to hire more officers." In addition, "Trump aides have been angered to learn that some ICE detainees arrested since the president took office were released from custody rather than deported" because, "In some instances...they have pending immigration claims and court hearings, or due to medical reasons or a lack of bed space in ICE facilities." Whether or not the administration is able to reach their lofty goals remains to be seen. "ICE would have to deport more than 2,700 people every day to reach 1 million annually, and the agency has never tallied half that amount in a single year," during the first Trump administration.

I heard that the number of illegal crossings was so low that the Border Patrol agents on horseback could not even find anyone to whip. Remember when Joe said "they will pay for that." Can you give us an update on how that ended out? GIGGLE!
From the U.S Border Patrol Chief and from countless sheriffs along the border saying the same thing, plus obvious camera footage showing the lack of invaders at the areas formerly showing massive mobs of invaders. I covered all that with GWB and posted info and he says it is a lie because he knows best. Google is your friend. I don't know if the drugs are down but the drugs that would of come in with the invaders would be down. They may have already switched to other methods or it may be down I don't know. The cartels are in a period of adapting but clearly the welcome mat is not down and the border is not wide open as it has been for years. As always there is room to argue the actual numbers but there is no way to argue that they are not down without using kool-aid. Illegal border crossings have plummeted 90% since Trump returned to White House, Border Patrol chief says That puts the US on track to have the lowest monthly border crossings in at least 25 years. If the trend continues, the number of illegal migrants coming into the US could hit a level not seen since 1968, nearly 60 years ago.
We will wait for the official figures on border crossings. Rather than claims from Trump officials. This is a reminder that in the past weeks nearly all the claims from Trump officials have turned out to be fabrications. So much whining that he can't find undocumented immigrants with criminal records. So Sad! Border Czar Whines It’s Been ‘Hard’ to Find Undocumented Immigrants Trump appointee Tom Homan pledged to ramp up immigration enforcement. https://www.thedailybeast.com/border-czar-whines-its-been-hard-to-find-undocumented-immigrants/ President Donald Trump’s border czar has admitted that authorities have found it “hard” to find undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
