Ive said my piece fringeofthefringe.
And what i think will happen.
Good luck shifting 11 million people who probably don't want to be shifted.
Frankly, thats going to cost an arm and a leg.
And it's your tax payers that are apt to foot the bill as far as i can establish.

A lot of these illegals work UKTruth.
And contribute to society.
Taking away their benefit and payments, shelter, and food, may not have the desired effect.
As to the putting them on buses and planes plan, well if it was trains that would be rather reminiscent of the Holocaust so.............
Purge is exactly what it would amount to keeping in mind that a significant percentage won't want to comply and given where they hail from most likely armed to the teeth.
A recipe for disaster really.
If we give those who wish to, the ability to work, pay taxes, become part of the United States of America, give them a way to become citizens, and be able to vote, without demeaning them
I think a lot more thought needs to go into this, before any knees jerk.

I had a thought about Mike Rowe working with some educators to start up some trade based charter schools, if the school choice movement worked out. Just think of a way for kids to try out all the different trades, and perhaps find one they love, are good at, and want to do for the rest of their lives. Most don't get the chance to try all those things unless they luck into a job that they enjoy. And if those kids go all the way through, and don't like that kind of work, they can go to college and become anything they like, but they will have tried those other things, and at the very least, have an understanding of what they entail. I sent Mike a message about it, but who would listen to a fat white guy in rural NC.

And again, the logistics involved in moving 11 million people most likely to somewhere they do not wish to go is going to be rather problematic.

Why is the comprehension in this area for liberals so damn nonexistent?

and these are the kind of discussions we need to be having, and it's really important that we are allowed to have them and not be shut down by idiots.

Why is soo hard for darn liberals to understand that the reason they lost the election by a red wave was the policies that they are trying to hold too and protect soo much.
NYC crime stats: April
According to NYPD statistics, overall April crime was down in the Big Apple by 4.9% compared to the same month last year.
Crime year-to-date is trending downward in 2024: From Jan. 1, 2024, to April 28, 2024, the NYPD reported 37.8K major crimes (murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny auto). In that same period in 2023, the agency logged approximately 39K major crimes.The city's subways have been the focus of most New Yorkers' crime anxieties, but according to the MTA, overall crime is down on the rails.
"Major crimes in the nation’s largest subway system plummeted another 23%, continuing a downward trend that saw previous transit system decreases of 15.4% in February and 23.5% in March," the NYPD said in a press release.
Hate crimes in total are up 39%, and hate crimes targeting Jewish and Muslim populations have doubled. This spike is "not unrelated to current geopolitics," the NYPD said. man was arrested for allegedly punching a 9-year-old girl in the face at Grand Central Terminal. According to police, the girl was standing near her mother in the dining concourse when the suspect, identified as 30-year-old Jeancarlos Zarzuela, approached and punched her.

Some of the protestors were marching for reproductive rights. I still don't get it - what do abortions reproduce but more dead babies?
And it's their brains. Why don't they use them? Trump can't do anything about abortions now since Roe -vs- Wade was struck down. That took the Federal government, (of which the office of the President is a part of), right out of the equation.

It's not my argument it's theirs. You would need to ask them if you are really interested in understanding their thought processes.
But I suspect it has to do with a combination of the access hollywood audio clearly showing that Donald Trump at least fantasies about violating women; the e jean carroll case wherein Trump was found to be civilly liable for sexual assault; and Trump's remarks in the final weeks of the election were he said he would do what he wants "whether the women like it or not".
You don't need to argue with me about how none of that is true. I fully accept that you do not think any of that is ture and I believe you are free to have your own opinion on the subject.
I am just pointing out that a major minority of the country do not agree with you and do believe Donald Trump is a rapest... and they believe you a "women, with a family" voted to send a rapest to the white house.
You live in different realities and you can't attempt to understand the other untill you accept this fact and come to a resolution from a completely different angle (or not if you just want to keep fighting with these people).
