Social ICE/deportation protests and riots megathread

Who cares? Triple their budget.

The $$$ they save American taxpayers that no longer have to pick up illegal aliens' costs for prisons, hospitals, education, infrastructure, and more vastly outweighs the government spend. Also, as the success of the Trump border policy continues, less and less and less are coming in illegally also greatly reducing future infrastructure costs and enforcement costs. It will get cheaper and cheaper over time with a blip at the start (where we are now).

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” the president wrote Thursday.

“This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!” he added.

But Trump shifted his tune Tuesday morning, again blaming his predecessor while saying he planned to continue operations in large, often Democratic-led cities."

Ok toss away roughly 5 million votes. See how many elections the left wins.
Can you name me one piece of legislation passed by Republicans within the past 50 years that ended up having a positive financial impact on anyone but the wealthiest of Americans?

Just one. And by all means, please include studies/data after the fact of the impact of said legislation.

I'd also like your comments on Republican spending, budgets and deficits, and how they compare to Democrats in that regard over the last 50 years.
 
Homeowners build wealth via property appreciation and equity, while renters don’t. Wealthier people can afford homes; lower-income individuals often can’t.


Utah, high home ownership, lower income disparity

California, low home ownership, high income disparity

outside of america

Australia, UK, lower home ownership (situation is getting worse by the day), high income disparity

Romania, Netherlands, Hungary, Norway, higher home ownership, lower income disparity

they are tied at the hip, those that own will be getting rental income, which grows that disparity.

I'd say that income disparity based on housing problems, wont easily be solved with taxation, landlords arent dumb, you mess with their bottom line, and they can grow the disparity simply by raising rent, which pushes the tenant further away, and landlord further ahead with the government as the middle man, essentially collecting from the tenant. For me, that's the only time I raise rents, when there's regulations passed that make my life harder, I'm raising the rent, because I sure as hell aint eating it..... and the amount of people who would line up for my rental units are kind of insane despite high prices.

America is such a good case study for this stuff because you guys have both ends of the extreme there.
 
I'm not denying protesters escalated but state and local officials did not ask for the guard, Trump is imposing or on them.

Okay but why not give state and local officials time to handle it on their own?

Trump has already violated court orders in his mass deportation efforts and cynically involved the Alien Enemies Act before the courts blocked that, I wouldn't assume they're acting lawfully

You don't see how Feds in pain clothes throwing people into unmarked vans might be heavy handed in a way that provokes a reaction?

They put the troops around federal buildings. All of this bull about escalation is just that - bull

Were you born yesterday? Why should we once again suffer millions upon millions of damage to businesses and infrastructure before taking action? We already had 2 nights of lawlessness. How many more do we have to accept from violent mobs attacking federal buildings and law enforcement officers while waving foreign flags and declaring sovereignty over the US federal government?

You have to let the woke government handle it by telling their officers to stand down. That's the only way.
