Nice car, a V8 from the Sixties, no doubt.
Blue skies. Nothing but blue skies.
I wonder if those berries nearby are poisonous.
Is that Hawaii, Clearwater Florida, or Galveston Texas?
Wait, is that a tsunami?!
This is a secret subtle subliminal message (global warming is real) from a subversive Antifa agent fighting for America from within DHS.
Impender Beach by Hiroshi Nagai... His works appear digitally duplicated everywhere, based on my DDG search results.
I offically surrender my fantasy of a secret Antifa agent within DHS. I also note abashedly that, with this new context, the picture doesn't portray a tsunami, but only a nice set of gnarly pipelines. Cowabunga!
I'm pretty sure there aren't 100 million illegal immigrants in the US. There aren't even that many legal immigrants in the US.
The entire foreign born population, at the high end of estimates, is around 55 million. US-born children of foreign born parents doesn't get you anywhere close to 45 million more.
… and are not white
I occasionally think this for a moment, but then I remember that the present state of the Republican Party is a takeover by groups the GOP has actively courted, encouraged, and and whipped up since Nixon (or, perhaps more to the point, since the most recent time that group became angry with the Democratic Party because of Johnson’s support for the Civil Rights Act), helping its ideology spread and become acceptable, who had gotten tired of the way the party addressed them to get their support not being fully reflected in the way the party actually governed.
Estimates vary, but the total US foreign-born population (including naturalized citizens, and legal permanent and temporary residents, and the undocumented) is something under 55 million, so deporting 100 million people (about 30% of the total US population) would mean deporting the entire foreign-born population (including naturalized citizens and legal residents) plus at least another 45 million natural-born citizens; nearly as many (possibly more, since the foreign-born estimate range starts under 50 million) natural-born citizens as foreign-born persons irrespective of citizenship, which is around 1 out of every 6 natural-born citizens.
It is blatantly both unconstitutional and a crime against humanity.
There is no constitutional basis for deporting 100 million people from America. None.
Illegal immigrants? Sure. Whether or not they have committed any crimes while here, it's clearly within the federal government's legitimate authority.
Legal immigrants? It's a jerk move, if you said they could come in and now you change your mind, but it's probably not unconstitutional.
But we have an estimated 14 million illegal immigrants, and 48 million legal. So, deport 38 million citizens? On what basis would that be constitutional? There's no way.
I care far more about the damage to the rule of law than I do about the damage to the tech industry.
What do you mean “For that type of citizen”? There is no definable “type of citizen” that (after deporting all the foreign-born population regardless of citizenship) that gets you anywhere near the 100 million total unless it is something like “non-White”. (If you imagine that it something like US-born children of non-citizen parents, which is what most of the discussion of revoking birthright citizenship focusses on, that doesn't get you anywhere close.)
got it in one.
And, yes, I fear that is the strategy and/or plan. I am vehemently opposed, but I'm not sure how to effectively oppose this. I still have some hope for sanity on this from the Supreme Court, but that's the last line of defense that I see, and I don't have much influence there.
