@AmyMcGrathKY Pay attention, most meds pushed nowadays treat symptoms instead of the causes, often with as bad or worse side effects. Keeps the demand up.
@quadcarl NY Harbor for one....referring to wholesale obviously. I also attached the previous admins wholesale prices for validation of the claim for lowest in years...also accurate. Paypal?
@emilykmay If you lack the cognitive ability to figure out how to update your government identification or are too lazy to you should not be able to vote and affect everyone else’s life.
The President: The President can influence immigration through executive orders, border security policies, or refugee admissions, though these must align with congressional laws unless challenged and upheld in court.
In practice, it’s a layered system: Congress sets the rules, agencies apply them, courts interpret disputes, and the President can tweak enforcement within legal bounds. For instance, a tourist needs a visa approved by the State Department and entry clearance from CBP, while an undocumented migrant might face ICE action unless a court intervenes. As of March 24, 2025, no major structural changes to this system have been finalized, though policy shifts—like recent executive actions on border enforcement—can alter how these decisions play out day-to-day.
The President has more sweeping power to affect visas through policy, thanks to INA Section 212(f). This law gives the President broad discretion to:
Suspend or restrict entry of any group of noncitizens if their entry is deemed “detrimental to the interests of the United States.”
This can effectively nullify visas for entire categories of people (e.g., by nationality or visa type) without revoking each one individually.
Directives: The President can instruct the State Department to revoke visas for specific groups—like diplomats from a hostile nation—or push for stricter enforcement (e.g., Biden’s 2021 revocation of Trump’s travel ban didn’t revoke visas but restored eligibility).
Sanctions: Under laws like the Magnitsky Act, the President can designate individuals (e.g., human rights abusers), leading to visa bans or revocations.
Emergencies: In crises (war, terrorism), the President could lean on 212(f) to suspend visa validity broadly.
@TerasGhost So...they should liquidate 2% of their property or assets to pay this? lol Laughable. They aren't billionaires because of their cash at hand. They are billionaires because of their assets and holdings. That is not a tax, that is theft.
I have no issue with minorities. I take issue with people exploiting said minorities to push political agendas. I see people not statistics. When we stop seeing groups of people as minorities, seeing them as people, and stop propping those labels up would be a great first step to stopping racism.
