The U.S. Immigration Catch-All Thread [R]

I'll be there (Real Madrid in Miami) and then Bayern Munich in Charlotte the following Tuesday. I am just pissed I could not make it to a BVB match. In NJ vs Fluminese, you can get them for as low as $33 on Ticketmaster and $30 on Stubhub. And you can get amazing seats for $120 right in the middle in the first section of seats. And in Cincinnati? Ni se diga...

 

I'm glad that Secretary Noem found time among her many photo ops and costume changes to have Senator Padilla forcibly removed from her news conference.

 

Senator Collins says she’s “disturbed” by the way Padilla was treated so all is good.

During the MAGAs have all said, Trump and we for legal immigration, I am for LEEEEEGAL immigration. I think deep down inside we knew that wasn't true, probably because a lot don't even know what that means or entails. The Latinos for Trump all wanted to see the other Latinos sent back to their country though many, dare I say most, arrived here on a tourist or student visa and decided to stay. This is Act II. We all saw it coming.

AOC makes the point.

AOC: “They’re making people undocumented by removing LEGAL status, then having the audacity to call them illegal… correct?”@GovPritzker: “Taking their legal right to be here away.”@aoc: “The Republican majority is anti-LEGAL immigration, I want to make that very clear.” pic.twitter.com/gUBcj0NpWM

The courts really are stepping up to hold the line and confront Trump's constant illegal maneuvers. It's reassuring to see.

Meanwhile, GOP Congress members, nothing.

 

Watching the Newsom press conference. Reporter asks” will you share the readout of your call last Friday with Trump?” Newsom: I have too much respect for the office of the presidency to do that. But he’s batshit insane. We never talked about the national guard. Full stop. But what he did say would send shivers up your ********….er….spine if you actually read it.”

I really wish this guy wasn’t such a ********ing douche. Because he’s on fire right now.

edit: he didn’t say the batshit part. But he absolutely caught himself in the midst of the “up your ********ing spine” comment.

 

And as soon as the courts do something liberals disagree with, the courts suddenly can’t be trusted.

Remember when AOC said that Biden should “ignore the courts”?

 

Yeah blame it on Noem. No one asked that dude to show up and make a scene. He came of his own volition with the sole intention of being disruptive. So it was entirely acceptable for him to be removed after he refused to comply with security.

 

And as Newsom continues to do cartwheels down the hallway of his mansion…

The 9th Circuit panel has granted an administrative stay of Judge Breyer's ruling. This allows Trump to keep National Guard deployed for a few more days while the three judge panel considers the case.

 

Remember a lot of these resale people use a machine and some software to automatically buy these tickets as soon as they come out so that there's nothing left in there so bad and they have a resale Market. This time there's nobody for them to resell the tickets too

 

I'll probably go to one of Curaçao's games in the Gold Cup. But I will do what I did for a Copa America game last year (Venezuela v Ecuaador) and sit on my hands purchasing a ticket until an hour before kickoff. Given ICE's behavior this week, I expect the number of no-shows - and thus likely resale tickets - to be higher than one would have expected. See, Noem is good for something after all.

 

Yes, less foreign interest in Gold Cup and CWC games is better for American soccer fans.

So apparently the agri business and hotel lobbies have finally decided to bribe their way out of this immigration crackdown. I won’t way that this was an organized shake down by Trump….as there is no way he would be able to formulate a plan like that…but he sure is an opportunist when it comes to benefitting from his own corruption.



Stephen Miller ‘bout to be big mad.

 

Gee, if only someone could have foreseen all this

 

I really don’t want Newsom to be this good at this
