If more illegal migrants are allowed, more would be deported. Under Trump very few illegal migrants are crossing the border.

direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image13·7 days agoRepublicans told Biden that he can use executive order to secure the border, but he ignored them. Not anti-immigration but securing the border. The US cannot support a flood of migrants. If Biden and Harris were far right, what is Trump?

direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image12·7 days agoI think that 50% should be the highest tax bracket. People should not be discouraged from becoming rich. Stopping Putin is stopping someone from killing Ukrainians. Democrats should be moving toward the center to attract moderate and independent voters. The mistake Democrats made in 2024 was running a weak candidate which polls showed was unpopular. When Biden quit, it was too late.
direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image11·7 days agoToo much socialism is bad because it will certainly involve increasing taxes to pay for social programs. High taxes discourage people from working hard. Why would you work hard knowing much of your earnings would be taken away? Free education beyond high school would mean higher taxes not only to pay for the school but to spot scams. Scam trade schools would pop up which don’t teach well and pass students who don’t perform well.
direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•AOC doubles down on political loser13·7 days agoThose are some of the criteria. Military service indicates patriotism and courage. Having children indicates a family man. Some people will view a White man more favorably.
direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image13·8 days ago40.8% looks good. There has to be motivation to become rich.
direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image13·8 days agoIf Biden was so anti-immigration, why did he permit so many illegal migrants that Governor Abbott of Texas bused them to sanctuary cities?
direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image14·8 days agoBiden let illegal migrants flood across the border. One of Trump’s top attacks of Biden was that he wasn’t controlling the border. Trump has secured the border so well that very few illegal migrants cross. If there are illegal migrants sleeping in the streets, ICE would surely notice and deport them.

direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•AOC doubles down on political loser35·8 days agoShe’s going to attract the voters that Harris attracted with the same result.
direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•AOC doubles down on political loser17·8 days agoShe is pretty and articulate, but her views will not appeal to most Americans. If she is the Democratic nominee for President, she would go up against J.D. Vance. Compare the two apart from their views and ask who would make a better impression. He is a White man. She is a Puerto Rican woman. He is married with children. She is married without children. He was in the US Marines. She was never in the military. He is 6’2". She is 5’4". Height will make a difference during a debate. Note that fashion models are tall.
direwolf@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image14·8 days agoTaxes are necessary but if they are too high it lessens the motivation to work. The purpose of working hard is to make money not give it away. If Russia conquers Ukraine, it will lead to more defense spending as the threat from Russia would increase. Giving the Sudetenland to Hitler didn’t appease him.
Chinese students will simply go to other countries taking their tuition and talent. Trump complains about the trade imbalance with China, but Trump is barring Chinese students from attending and paying American universities.
