Good thing he doesn't consider the military any longer....don't need anyone who considers insubordination a good thing...My oldest is college-bound next year and was seriously considering ROTC/NG, being willing to serve to defend our country and/or aid in natural disasters or emergencies. He says he will flat out not enlist if members of the military are going to be used to round up people from their homes and communities. So instead of getting an Eagle Scout, 4A state track athlete in the top 2% of his class with a 34 ACT, the military will be attracting someone who gets hard at the thought of busting down the door with guns drawn of someone who poses no physical threat to anyone.
How did Melania Trump get in with a “Einstein “ visa which required a “exceptional talent”? I wonder what the talent is ?
It's pretty sad that this is your takeaway.Good thing he doesn't consider the military any longer....don't need anyone who considers insubordination a good thing...
Again, were they here legally? Did they come through a port of entry? Ellis Island, Milwaukee, New Orleans. No Republican that I know of is anti-immigrant, we support legal immigration. If you are here illegally, you are a criminal, you need to be sent to your home.
Or continue to cut cut cut more programs.
Did your relatives cross the border illegally?Yes, I would. This is a country built of immigrants. I'm only 3 generations from the boat.
Just wait until those tariffs get slapped down.States like Iowa with low and shrinking populations should be working with the Feds to try to get as many immigrants here as possible with a fast track to citizenship. The Midwest desperately needs new people.
Project 2525 authors, who are filling this administration, are ardently anti-immigrant.
So then a private citizen should not worry about reprisal from the government when things go south during their enforcement actions—see Daniel Penney? This would also mean, if they detect an ILLEGAL applying for a job, they can use any means necessary to detain them for ICE?For the same reason that it's illegal to buy stolen goods. The people hiring undocumented workers are happy to do so because it allows them to pay lower wages, just the same as one can save a lot of money by purchasing stolen goods.
Thanks Captain Obvious.If you can cut programs you don't need revenue...
Just wait until those tariffs get slapped down.
“Here we go inflation, here we go (cha cha). Here we go inflation, here we go (cha cha).”
You get what you vote for.The ag economy in Iowa has lost ground in the last ten years even with the most subsidies being paid out. Right now is about the worst time for another trade war.
Got it. It's going to be a sh**show.Anerica supports deportations.
Think about what this will do in places like Storm Lake.Does anyone that has visited Postville since the large ICE raid think things in that community have created more opportunities for those that live there?
The trick is to convince people who are losing economically that brown people and trans kids are causing it.The ag economy in Iowa has lost ground in the last ten years even with the most subsidies being paid out. Right now is about the worst time for another trade war.
Letting old fat guys flop around on top of you is an exceptional talent.How did Melania Trump get in with a “Einstein “ visa which required a “exceptional talent”? I wonder what the talent is ?
Reduce crime and give the schools back to the locals who pay property tax to fund them?Think about what this will do in places like Storm Lake.
Well, we all know old, obese guys like you would rather roll around on children and that's why you continue to support this >Letting old fat guys flop around on top of you is an exceptional talent.
So people didn’t join the Guard to protect their state? 😳If I was still in Guard, I'd refuse orders. Not why people joined.
However, did your ancestors come here illegally?Yes, I would. This is a country built of immigrants. I'm only 3 generations from the boat.
Why did Branstad and Reynolds let us go unprotected for so long?So people didn’t join the Guard to protect their state? 😳
I have a buddy that has two sons in the National Guard. I asked him about this possibility and he told me they’d joined to clean up after tornadoes and help with floods. Maybe be there in case the US needs them for WW3. They didn’t sign up for this. One is a college graduate with a solid degree, and the other is a junior in college.
Kim needs to read the room for an organization already struggling to recruit and retain citizen soldiers. Kim needs to read the room that besides the MAGAts average Iowans won’t be supportive of the disruption.
States need to be prepared for dissatisfaction, and some scandals. It happened the first time, it will happen again. Some guardsman will rape a teenage girl, or there will be pictures of some dipshit smacking a migrant around for fun, and the questions will start.
I assume due to a different political climate under Dem presidency’s? 🤔Why did Branstad and Reynolds let us go unprotected for so long?
I believe it.Lib TV had a good segment on yesterday discussing a dreamer in Rome, GA. Brought into the US as an infant, and has lived here ever since. He's a taxpayer, a homeowner, gainfully employed, and has a wife and kids. His FIL is a MAGA and was quoted saying he loved his SIL, but he'd voted for Trump because he'd deport all the illegals. He then said they'd have to go through him to get to his SIL.
The logic on the right is truly dizzying.
Why did Terry and Kim allow the illegals to take over Iowa? Storm Lake, Columbus Junction, Tama, Earlville... Republicans surrendered Iowa to the illegals.I assume due to a different political climate under Dem presidency’s? 🤔
We don't want him. The military is for patriots who want to protect the Constitution and their fellow citizens, not some candy-ass who thinks it is up to him to decide if his civilian leadership is right, or wrong. They follow legal orders that come from our civilian leadership. The last thing we need is some smug assed private who thinks they know better. That is how we get traitors like Vindman. Your son should probably consider Americorps and go out and save some trees.My oldest is college-bound next year and was seriously considering ROTC/NG, being willing to serve to defend our country and/or aid in natural disasters or emergencies.

That's fake news.

Have you read Project 2025? I have and think it is a great policy plan for America, commonsense, logic. I can see why the left fears it.Are there not many people involved in Project 2025 joining the administration?

We full right now, bro! We need to focus on making vacancy before going back to allowing those who truly deserve to be here....you know, be here!It eliminates T and U visas, eliminates temporary protected status, reduces and will greatly diminish the H-1B visa program which is how guys like Elon Musk first came here.
Have you read it? Did you just miss that?
Yeah, I am all for that. Not all of it will be enacted, but if a large part of it is, it will be a much better country for all of us. Even you lefties, no worries, we'll take care of you.It eliminates T and U visas, eliminates temporary protected status, reduces and will greatly diminish the H-1B visa program which is how guys like Elon Musk first came here.

Seems reasonable, the Guard has been called out numerous times when disasters hit our state, Biden/Harris brought this illegal invasion upon us and it is a disaster so it makes perfect sense to use the ING to clean it up.Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says she is ready to use "every tool at our disposal," including deploying the state's National Guard and law enforcement, to carry out President-elect Donald Trump's plans for "mass deportations" of illegal immigrants, according to a joint statement by Republican governors.
Trump has signaled he wants to see an overhaul of the country's immigration system, starting with deporting immigrants living in the country illegally who have violated the law.
"On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out," Trump said during his campaign's closing speech at Madison Square Garden.
Reynolds and 25 other Republican governors vowed in the statement to stand behind Trump's plans to seal the border to illegal immigrants, which they said President Joe Biden's administration failed to accomplish.
“Republican governors remain fully committed to supporting the Trump Administration’s efforts to deport dangerous criminals, gang members, and terrorists who are in this country illegally," the governors said in their statement. "We understand the direct threat these criminal illegal immigrants pose to public safety and our national security, and we will do everything in our power to assist in removing them from our communities."
Reynolds' office did not immediately respond to a request for additional information on how the National Guard and law enforcement might be deployed in the deportation effort.
