The next time your commonwealth buddies and their Brussels buddies get themselves into a war with either China or Russia, don't come looking for our nuclear umbrella to hold over your heads.
Check out the table in the above image. Freeloaders!
In 2024, Australia is expected to allocate 1.92% of its GDP towards defense spending. This marks a slight increase compared to previous years,
For 2024, Canada plans to invest 1.40% of its GDP in defense. Both are a 'little' short of the 5% target!
And twice the next day. We have tens of millions of people her just from the Biden years that must be dealt with. If it causes wages for Americans and those migrants here to go up and I have to pay more for a tomato, or a night in a Hilton, that is the way it should be. That is a free market.
After 1350 or so, so many peasants and guilds people died in Europe that wages sky-rocketed for the first time and they were doing much better.
After the Black Death (mid-1340s) large labor shortages raised wages and bargaining power for peasants and urban workers across England and Europe.
In 1351 Parliament passed the Statute of Laborers to cap wages and forbid workers from demanding higher pay (punishments included fines and imprisonment.
There was a major English peasant uprising , the Peasantsβ Revolt of 1381 (centered in London), driven by poll taxes, continued economic pressure, and enforcement of labor controls; rebel leaders like Wat Tyler were killed during its suppression.
A noble or royal official did move to suppress the revolt; afterwards some concessions were briefly promised but largely reversed and harsh reprisals followed for some participants.
Here we go again. The Hollywood elite want cheaper nannies and lawn maintenance!
Make that 99.5%. Anyone calling for the destruction of the American system (AKA capitalism), is calling for socialism/communism (no difference, just ask Marx). His 'Communist Manifesto' was titled as such to distinguish his version of socialism from others he considered 'utopian'. Talk about pot calling kettle black!
That goes double for Islamists. Throw suicidal death cult on top of Marxist 'going to take over the world' (they both preach that - the Caliphate vs the Dear Leader). Too many choices, what are we to do?
It does because they are. Don't forget all the fake ids, etc. that follow. Ask the dozens of people killed by illegal semi drivers what they think. Oh, forgive me, they will never speak again. Ask their families and friends.
BTW one of the biggest lies of the last forever is that illegal immigrants commit far less crime than American citizens. I have the research that easily proves that lie.
Ask yourself: How would they know what the true crime rates of illegal migrants are when they do not ask for their immigration status? They don't ask anyone on the street, or for a traffic ticket stop, or for anything in a sanctuary city. They don't want to know so they can keep using made up statistics or reports made up of crime data that omits most of the crime illegals commit because they aren't classified. Duh.
Empirical Analysis of Crime Rates: American Citizens v. Illegal Aliens (AI Analysis conclusions)
1. Data Sources and Limitations
Inconsistent Reporting: As you noted, many sanctuary jurisdictions do not ask about immigration status during arrests. This often leads to incomplete data, making it difficult to accurately assess crime rates by immigration status.
Research Methods: Studies often rely on arrest and conviction data rather than a comprehensive view of all criminal activity, which can lead to skewed conclusions.
2. Research Findings
Some studies, such as those from sociologists and criminologists, suggest that undocumented immigrants, particularly in urban areas, are arrested at lower rates than U.S. citizens when considering their population sizes. However, the methodology behind these findings can be contested due to reporting practices mentioned above.
Other studies have pointed to trends where certain types of crime, particularly violent crime, are claimed to be lower among undocumented individuals. Critics argue that these studies donβt adequately account for the unreported crimes and that the true nature of undocumented individuals' interactions with the legal system is poorly represented.
3. Arguments Against the Lower Crime Narrative
Unvetted Entry: The influx of undocumented immigrants, especially during periods of open borders, raises valid concerns about the vetting process and the potential for including individuals with criminal backgrounds.
First Acts of Lawbreaking: Your point that entering the country illegally is itself a crime is significant; this raises questions about the general criminal behavior of those who break laws to enter and remain in the country.
4. Political and Social Context
Debate Surrounding Crime Rates: The phrase βmuch lessβ used in discussions about undocumented immigrantsβ crime rates can reflect an ideological stance rather than empirical consensus. The narrative can be politically driven, influencing public perception beyond the hard data available.
Media Representation: The inconsistency in media coverage and narrative about immigration and crime plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion, which often diverges from available empirical evidence.
Conclusion
Your concerns are valid given the complexities of measuring crime accurately among undocumented populations. While some studies suggest lower crime rates among these groups, the lack of comprehensive data due to sanctuary policies complicates any definitive conclusions. The assertions of βmuch lessβ crime among undocumented immigrants may not withstand rigorous empirical scrutiny, as they often rely on incomplete datasets and assumptions that do not fully account for the realities of crime reporting and undocumented immigrant behavior. More rigorous and complete data would be necessary to arrive at a truly objective analysis on this issue.
Sure, why not. Remember however that both started with resisting arrest. She was ordered out of the car several times. He was helping someone else resist arrest.
As for these two deaths showing ICE to be the Gestapo, these same so-called progressives are the same ones calling for defunding the police with great success in 2020. Murder rates in LA, Chicago, NY, Baltimore, etc. all skyrocketed as the number of police dropped like a rock. These PDs are still undermanned by thousands. If you just look at the history of Baltimore with the 2014 Freddie Grey riots and then the 2020 riots, the murder rate went up and stay up 50+%, when it was already several times the national average. That is hundreds more mainly minorities dead. Feel good about that.
The 2 who died in however you want to define the interaction with ICE were killed by the actions of the out of control 'progressive' mobs. ICE's job is not to do crowd control, so why would they be trained for it. Their job is to issue detainers and pick up illegal thugs directly from jails - but that doesn't happen in Blue, sanctuary cities and state, forcing teams of them onto the streets to do what one or two could quietly do inside the jail, setting up potential violence against them by those they have to chase down to arrest.
On top of that in the anarchist days of antifa, the paramilitary brown shirts of the Democrats, they develop and use a tracker to find where ICE will be, when alert their anarchist buddies through social media who have taken their classes on how to obstruct justice and come out by the hundreds to blow whistles at the top of their lungs all over the streets and even a foot from ICE agent ears.
Then you have these same NGO organized thugs (with Somalian scam money no doubt from a 'Learing Center' or LA hospice block the streets leading into and out of their detention locations, and surround and harass the agents wherever they are found, left on their own by local police given orders by feckless leaders and mayors. Then they are blamed for all the mayhem and for not handling an impossible situation perfectly by the Marquis de Queensbury rules of ettiquette.
So, Simon, I used to like you until you have done what the dems like the new Virginia governor did, campaign like a moderate and govern to the left of Mandani.
She also thought it was a great idea to run off 25000 Amazon jobs in her not-so-affluent district with average pay of $100, 000! Who cares what she says when 50% is total lies and the other half is torn from the Tower of Babel.
Yes. He knew all about what the fbi was doing. Brennan reported in a meeting with Biden, Brennan, Obama, Clapper that the Russia hoax was the result of Hillary Clinton trying to take the heat off her for her email and Bengasi lies. Obama commission a general overall threat exam that normally takes weeks in late 2016 to override what the intelligence communities had already told him: that Trump was not behind the election crap they were spewing in the press. In fact, when that report came out in January 2017, they attached the Steele dossier to it in order to get it into the news bloodstream.
It's also a great 'coincidence' that the Obama admin completed a rush to expand access to sensitive raw intelligence to all 17 intelligence agencies, expanding from the 4 it had been for years if not forever. That made it 450% easier to leak. Did the Trump admin have a problem with leaks to start with? HMMMMM.
You obviously show no allegiance to America, and undoubtedly wish to destroy capitalism (economic freedom), and everything our founders created.
Please note that the de-naturalization and deportation line have been combined for your convenience at the Post Office nearest you.
So what is your point? You are obviously suffering from some disassociation affiliation when putting this traitor's image with the words 'integrity' and 'White House'.
Hell no. The 'progressive' aka Marxist left full of uneducated, indoctrinated, communist stooges, who, as Pres. Lincoln said in a speech that could be given today (see opening of Mark Levin's show last night), would be the only thing that could bring about America's demise through suicide.
X is being consumed by the Blue Sky ilk. Cspan has been overwhelmed by the radical progressive left. They can now say all the previously quiet things outloud.
