Amid a great deal of early chaos, Trump has registered one win. ‘Encounters’ with illegal border crossers have dropped by a factor of 20. The Roosevelt hotel in NY used to house legions of illegal immigrants is no longer needed. Democratic mayors have stopped complaining about illegals


The WSJ editorial reporting this now urges him to forge a lasting, fair and practical immigration regime. The country benefits from the right immigrants, who are anxious to work for their families.


You won’t read much about all this in the NYT but it’s win number one and boy, does he need it.

Granted, this is something that the voters did ask for, and Trump has delivered here.


New border crossings are down, and with the deportation of criminals, he will continually reduce the number of illegal immigrants.


Borders exist, and a country reserves the right to legal entry. People can still apply to go to America, where a background check can be done (e.g. not someone with past criminal convictions), and they have a clear intention to seek jobs through a legal right to work, and possibly seek citizenship in the longer term if everything works out.


El Salvador's jail is anything but a 5-star hotel.

I see that tourism numbers from Europe have dropped drastically in America as well.

Probably scared they'll get rounded up and sent to the El Salvador jail, but the world sentiment of America has dropped drastically, so pre-booked holidays are being cancelled.

Well Americans will no doubt continue to go to theme park Europe. But some of those Brussels suits would look good in El Salvador. Not great accommodations, but a fun movie though Salvador with James Woods

Biden deported more people than Trump did in his first term. Biden also made it much more difficult to be approved for an asylum hearing,let alone be approved for asylum. The MAGA cult will stomp their feet and say this is bullshit but that’s because they’re incapable of telling fact from far-right fascist bullshit spewed by dishonest and deceptive douchebags who take advantage of the maga mentality-people who know next to nothing about how their own government functions not to mention how our criminal justice system functions, or our economy for that matter. That lack of knowledge in combination with a willful refusal to educate themselves are what people like Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones use to keep their despicable asses in a paycheck. The average maga fan doesn’t realize their ignorance has been weaponized to keep them perpetually pissed off, distracted and in the dark while their cult leader and his minions turn this country into a fucking dictatorship where their kids and grandkids will be nobodies living under the boot. Every time I hear one of those fucking dingbats say “WE won” it makes me want to rub their nose in their own stupidity and remind them THERE IS NO FUCKING “WE” in maga. Their ignorance is causing an enormous amount of damage to people who did nothing to deserve it. Ignorant motherfuckers can’t bother to get both sides of a story before deciding who to believe.

And yet at the end of Biden’s term 180000 encounters a day wasn’t unusual, now it’s 20,000. The WSJ which has been very critical of Trump’s second term, is in my experience, the most reliable news media source around

How do you take something like this seriously?

Just like the left is doing to their base. It's the play of the day. Just watch Blobbie's rage as an example. Or the author of the paragraph above making the claim while using the language they do.


Ignorant motherfuckers can’t bother to get both sides of a story before deciding who to believe.


Also sounds rather familiar.


Biden deported 4.6 million apparently, with a minimum of 8.8 million encounters on the border. That's a losing battle. If fewer come in, you'll have fewer to deport.

It's kinda pointless.


Blo is way too far gone to look at facts and draw any conclusion other than Orange Man Bad.


The poor dear's mind is cooked.


The absolute phenomenon here is that, and I can assure you of it, he has ZERO idea.


Weird huh? How obvious it is to us yet how oblivious he is.


TDS is dang interesting.


What rugby you watching tomorrow, Paks?

Sharks are jolling tonight I think Plum, so I'll pitch for that. I'll watch whatever looks entertaining tomorrow, depending on whether I find something better to do.
