There are strict criteria for claiming refugee status. Otherwise why would anyone wait through the long legal immigration process if all they had to do was just show up and say the magic word "asylum!"
Because it was understood as common f'ing sense that non-citizens not be counted toward representation in government. They'd just finished fighting a war for independence, do you really believe they intended to give British or any other non-citizen who came after a say in that government?
Illegal immigrants do not pay federal taxes. A Social Security number is required for that. Identity theft is a felony, which many of them commit. Not to pay taxes mind you, but to get jobs that the true owner of that SSN# is on the hook for the unpaid taxes on.
Once again you conflate legal and illegal immigrants on purpose to somehow brand those opposed to illegal immigration as racists or nazis or whatever. People have woken up to that,
It is not difficult to cross the southern border. Now that a Hugo Chavez clone has been elected Pres of Mexico it is now more important than ever to secure that border.
They cling to this Russians! nonsense as a defense mechanism against facing the reality that their worldview has been rejected. There must be some higher reason to explain how a circus clown was able to defeat them when the entire deck stacked in their favor.
That is nonsense. 63 million people weren't persuaded to vote against Clinton by Facebook ads. That is, at best, wishful thinking. At worst it's willful self-delusion and cognitive dissonance.
The SEC only has civil jurisdiction, not criminal. They only have the authority to sue, levy fines and prohibit future involvement by bad actors. Only the DOJ can prosecute criminally for securities fraud.
Russian interference had nothing to do with Trump winning. That's just the excuse being used by Dem leadership so they wouldn't be held accountable and remained in charge of the party as well as leaving the door open for Clinton to run again if she's healthy enough.
I'm not making a political statement either way. I'm simply explaining that if the FBI is involved then that means they are investigating whether federal law was violated. It may be as simple as lying to Congress or it may be more than that.
Has immigration changed since 1975? And you can't even bother to find out?
For starters the US population was only 216 million in 1975 compared to 330+ million today. That speaks volumes about the mess we're in today.
1975 saw a large uptick in legal immigration due to the fallout from the Vietnam war but still was only a fraction of what it is today. The immigration policies back then weren't designed to suppress wages either like they are today (H1B's anyone?).
Illegal immigration is off the charts compared to 1975. An estimated 1 million illegal immigrants were in the US prior to 1975 compared with 11-15 million today.
These aren't the best and brightest sneaking into the US today, quite the opposite.
Inconsistent panel gaps all around the car, inconsistent paint, orange peel, wheel covers fit loosely (to the point of rattling), console below the screen would not close properly, trunk would not close properly, steering wheel off-center, etc. I wouldn't have accepted delivery but the owner just had to take it show off to everyone.
When you and the "institutional investors" voted for it did you guys know that Musk was an original seed investor for SolarCity with a 20% equity stake that was going to be wiped out when their debt came due at the end of this year? No, he didn't disclose that until after the vote. Did you and the "institutional investors" know that the solar roof shingles he demo'd at the shareholder's meeting were non-working mockups and that they didn't even have a working prototype? Other's would've already been charged with fraud for doing what he did with SolarCity. SolarCity is now winding down operations right before the massive California law requiring all new houses have solar. Why would they do that if there was any truth to the hype about that company?
The difference is he hired experts to run SpaceX and the Boring Company. He's trying to run Tesla himself with absolutely zero experience in auto manufacturing. He was in the right place at the right time to make his fortune with Paypal. The SolarCity deal is turning out to be a bit of self-sealing that could possibly get him in a lot of trouble with regulators and/or the DOJ.
Watch the whole video. The windshield may or may not have been delivered that way but the vehicle shown in that video has many other problems that are easy to see but not highlighted in his commentary. Would you be happy to receive a $50k car in that condition? The damned front license plate holder sticks to the car with double-sided tape for crying out loud. Yugo wouldn't even have tried to pass that off.

"To conflate it all is disingenuous."
That is by design.
Obama pulled out of war theaters? I'm sure the people of Syria and Libya will be thrilled to hear that!
How is it racist when no race was mentioned anywhere? Do you believe illegal immigrants are a race of themselves?
Because it was understood as common f'ing sense that non-citizens not be counted toward representation in government. They'd just finished fighting a war for independence, do you really believe they intended to give British or any other non-citizen who came after a say in that government?

It's more likely that you're the Russian spy sent here to make Democrats look foolish.
Every post you make drives more voters away from the Democrats. Is that your purpose?
I wasn't on the ballot and no politician is worthy of hero status. Your delusion is strong. Good luck with that in November.

You don't get to opt out of the law. If you agree to let someone kill you they are still guilty of murder (under the law).
Facebook's rules do not supersede federal privacy laws.
At minimum there's a good chance Zuckerberg is forced out over this.
I'd prefer the Windows BSOD screen.

Not disclosing his ownership interest in SolarCity before having TSLA shareholders bail him out is straight up fraud.
They aren't just laying off SolarCity mgmt, the entire business is being wound down (i.e. closed).
