Are We Still Arguing About Hatians?

Trump has a record. And that record is moderate to left mainstream Republican. I’ve said often that campaigning and governing are not the same. That doesn’t mean that Trumps personality defects don’t show up in governing, but it does mean that he is not a scary wild man.
He said he wanted to withdraw from NATO. This has been well reported and I know it’s a fact because I heard it from an attendee of the meeting when he said it. He was talked into waiting to his reelection (thankfully didn’t happen). I consider that an idea of a scary wild man. He has mental issues and his mental acuity decline due to aging is pretty obvious.

Not without congress
 
Ah, back to “Congress will keep him under control.” That’s one of the things my MAGA friends said too. I happen to think we should take what our Presidents say seriously.
Well the other one supported bail projects, defund, opened the border, lied about Biden’s condition, abortion, project 25, on and on. You take that seriously?

Some of it. Some of it isn’t quite accurate, but that’s OK. I’m not voting FOR her and I’m not voting for Trump. I just want him to lose and fade away completely as a political force.
 
Nah you’re just focusing on the wrong shit. And live in the middle of nowhere so woke bullshit policies won’t impact you. Carjackings probably aren’t all that prevalent but ohhhhh this scary trump signs
You know…. You seem like a pretty decent guy until you can’t browbeat someone into agreeing with you. You’re nothing but a blowhard

Let’s not disparage Murt…aka the leader of the Dream Team. You can’t start a thread talking shit and then take offense when you get it back. You wanted dopamine hits and we have delivered. You’re welcome.

This fact check in part has this to say...

During a Sept. 13 campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, former President Donald Trump claimed 21 million people have been let into the U.S. under incumbent President Joe Biden’s administration.

Verdict: Misleading

Two experts suggested that Trump’s claim is incorrect, while a third said the number was “credible.” Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows a total of 10,680,981 nationwide encounters have occurred under the Biden-Harris administration from FY 2021 to FY 2024 to date.


So although Trump's figures maybe "credible" they are also debatable.
What does an "encounter" mean? Physically counting them as they cross the border?

OC, great question as it points out how the statistics regarding immigration can be complicated and twisted for political purposes.

This article discusses "encounters" and immigration statistics in general. In part the article has this to say...

Border officials encountered 11 million unauthorized migrants attempting to enter the US between October 2019 and June 2024.

Data on these border encounters — which include people attempting to enter the country or apprehended trying to cross the border without inspection — helps the government estimate the number of individuals illegally entering the US.

By understanding the demographics and origins of people encountered at the border, policymakers can better understand the complex factors driving immigration and make informed policy decisions.

These encounters don't necessarily reflect the actual number of people trying to cross the border; some people make multiple crossings during the same fiscal year, meaning they’d appear more than once in the data, and others successfully enter without encountering any US official.

Was walking around downtown Charleston yesterday and though not as prevalent as New Orleans and Savannah there is still a bit of voodoo culture here. I’m all for deporting the whole damned city. Any objectors??

56 percent of Americans back deporting undocumented now. Up 20 percent from just 8 years ago. It’s a strong point for trump. People losing faith in economy too. Throw in Harris doing fun podcasts, sounding like the moron that she is, while people are suffering in nc etc, her momentum is gone. I say it’s 50/50 right now on who wins.

Surprising to me is the abortion issue is bigger than I would have guessed. I see abortion signs all over my city

That’s because manipulating the polulace
With false narratives of the boogy man works. But I’m a small town boy and my opinion doesn’t count

MM66, Trump making deportation a key issue in his campaign has to be a major factor in the poll you cited as 86% of the Republicans supported deportation.

However, a poll with a choice between deportation and finding a path for citizenship for the undocumented a majority favored finding a path.

When the election is finally over and the rhetoric cools down let us hope Congress and whoever is president can reach consensus on immigration including the undocumented.

Immigration is a good thing. But it has to be controlled and sensible. Harris lifting title 42 asylum agreements border funding and remain in Mexico was reckless. Then trying to pretend a bill codifying 1.8 mil a year is a good thing is just stupid - on many levels. Secure the border

That’s a pretty good conspiracy theory, Cursed, but I’m going to go with an alternative theory driven by data and facts. The 20% increase in the numbers stems from the extreme amount of illegal and legal immigrants the past 4 years.

So Loogootee, IN is supposed to be getting sent 150 Haitians. There is nowhere for them to work here, they won't fit in culturally, WTF? There are plenty of better places to send them.

Preferably back to Haiti. But Vincennes would be fine since they won't send them home.
