Doesn't this create an incentive to illegally go to US? After all, as long as you leave afterwards, you get a nice sum of money for your troubles. I think Trump's efforts to persecute Sanctuary cities is the correct option here. Creates incentives for the states to work with ICE and shows illegals that they won't have any place to stay if they do try and arrive illegally.

Of course, another correct option would be to raid farms because many have privately admitted to Trump to employing only illegal labor. Trump has always been against this idea, however.

It depends on how much money you have to invest in PR later.

Technically the cheapest and most effective option would be a bullet and let them turn into compost but no one does it for some reason.
 
I'm sorry I missed the hagglesperg

I'm currently putting my toes into some business with all hwite people and they are doing the jeetiest jeet jeet shit

I vastly prefer of all races to do business with Chinese people because then everybody is clear that we are all here to make money. Someone mentioned the insanely annoying trick of valuing the short term small gains no matter how scammy over building long term reputation for long term huge gains, and they associated this with Chinese people. Yeah maybe on a small scale, I think this post was about internet semiprecious stone markets? On a large scale, well look around you at your country. Try to do real estate deals with white people. You get the same horrendously stupid, immoral, shortsighted, destructive behavior, but it's not about pretty rocks. It's about houses and businesses.

The current left narrative is that Europe beat Trump on Greenland. Until i see the framework and it includes parts of Greenland being US territory they are correct.

I think the real issue with Greenland is not so much military incursion, as economic. Denmark has been making deals with China. That's allowed under the current treaties, but its in stark contrast to the Trump Administration's national security strategy. I think what we're seeing with Greenland is really just a flashier repeat of what we saw in Panama in the first weeks of his administration. They want to get China out of the Western Hemisphere.

Trump is being played up as some sort of expansionist here, but its really the EU that's overstepping itself. It's pretty galling to expect the US to protect their colonial territory in the Western Hemisphere, while using it as an open door to our primary economic rival. That is not the behavior of an "ally".

but for visa overstays? $3000 could be pretty tempting.

Yeah, sorry, that's what I was talking about.

I have to think if they're bumping up the offer it means they want to bolster stats before the elections this year.

Probably, yeah. Not exactly a bad motive, tbf.

I mean, would you rather us give them that money and let them stay? That would seem to be what the perception many have of the choice available to them

I would rather them not get any money at all if possible. If anyone should get that money, then it is the Americans who suffered under all the illegal immigration.

That’s how much the average illegal gets in welfare a year.

Then why would they leave over 3k? If your stats are true, then the incentive doesn't seem very enticing.

Trump admin announces a $3k check for any illegal that leaves USA. Who here has given your consent on this? 'Cause Trump admin says you all have.

I hate the optics, but I bow to the practical economics.

Even with pretty fast turnaround deportation from detention takes weeks, and I don't know off the top of my head what detention costs per head per day, but I'd guess it's more than $100, easily, not including detention personnel.

Then add in 2-5 ICE agents on the clock for a few hours each at a rate somewhere north of $50 an hour, immigration judges on the clock for over $100 and hour, lawyers for the government on the clock for over $100 an hour, and that's assuming there's no appeals which gum things up and require anyone with a higher paygrade and less time on their hands.

Even with these woefully inadequate lowball figures I think you hit $2600 by the end of a couple weeks if not way sooner. The main issue is making sure it's not easily exploitable and that's where I think the biggest problems would be since I've little faith that there will be enough manpower to adequately police that kind of thing effectively.

This is America's future. This is our fate. There is no coming back from this.


Instead of firing Blondi and actually making moves to arrest the shitheels in Minneapolis, he's doing this retarded shit.

President AOC can't send us to the FEMA camps soon enough.

I read the actual bill HB863. It is quite literally just removing redundant language. Instead of "the punishment shall include a mandatory minimum term of confinement of 25 years" it's just "the punishment shall include a term of confinement of 25 years" which any autistic English teacher will tell you is a more concise way of saying the same thing.

Cyraxx is really starting off the year strong. I find the community around him annoying but every now and then a video will pop up that just makes me laugh.

God I hope they walk him into a couple of doors on the way in.

On one hand I am of the opinion that blocking crowd funding for stuff like this is so easily misused it needs to be avoided but in cases like this dude should not be banking off repeated criminal activity.
