Democrats who want to abolish ICE are literally handing Donald Trump his reelection on a silver platter.
Let's not enforce any border laws and let's see how that turns out. Idiots.
I'm not a Trump supporter, and I'm merely a centrist, but I agree that it is a foolish platform to take.
I'm against excessive and invasive persecution and hunting for illegals. I'm not blind to the fact that we need to limit illegal immigration. My main concern is that a lot of anti-immigration is down to bigotry and nationalistic sentiment that can escalate; and has rapidly escalated many many times in many many countries throughout history. It doesn't take long to get into some McCarthyistic witch hunt for immigrants, and start finding reasons to mark legal immigrants as criminals for obscure rules and start deporting them.
It's not ICE that I oppose- ICE Is important. It's the racist sentiment behind a lot of the actions of some of the laws that I oppose. It is the nationalism that could escalate dangerously that I oppose. The more fervent the head-hunting for illegals, the more likely that legal immigrants get caught up in this- either accidentally or deliberately. Already, there are plenty of stories of legal aliens being arrested and detained for months because they're mistaken as illegals.
Heard a variant on that jokHeard a variant on that joke before, but had never seen it in Esperanto.e before, but had never seen it in Esperanto.
Yeah, I have too; seeing it in Esperanto, in America was more amusing though knowing that 99.9% of the people who saw the t-shirt would have no idea of what it said.
Don't quote a poem as if it's law. That's much like people insisting "God works in mysterious ways" is part of the bible.
It's not law. It's a national symbol. It's a national expression of what is (or was) important to the country. It is very symbolic of how most people in this country originally came here. The majority of Americans have ancestors who came here- not by visa- not by invite- but by fleeing persecution elsewhere.
But, let's forget history. Let's forget what this country is and was. Instead, let's just concentrate on ourselves and our own discomfort at people that look a little different to us, or speak a language we don't understand because we're too lazy to learn. Let's forget what and who built the country- because it is inconvenient to our bigotries and insecurities.
"Immigrants" don't have anything to worry about unless they're also "illegal".
For now that's true; however we've seen how nationalistic and bigotry have led to problems in other countries. Be it early 20th century Zimbabwe, or 1930's Germany, or... modern day Israel. Being a legal immigrant isn't always a guarantee that things won't eventually go pear-shaped if a worrying trend of nationalism or bigotry is left unchecked. You never know when overzealous action against illegals will change to outright hostility to all imigrants Especially if you're tracking a database of immigrant movements (even legal ones).
We have over 2000 years of history where immigrants have suddenly been turned on by their hosts. Earliest example I can think of is before the Pontic wars when Mithridates decided there were too many Romans living in his lands and had them all killed one night.
You could probably find dozens of examples throughout history of times when anti-immigrant sentiment suddenly resulted in a reverse of status of peoples settled in a region (frequently there originally with the blessing of the government). Fortunately, I think there are too many stable people in the US to allow this to happen now- but put a few more people like Trump in positions of power and you could find legal immigrants having their legal status reversed.
Technically, any legal infraction is reason enough to allow someone to have their legal status revoked. In today's surveillance state, it wouldn't be hard to get anyone booked on some obscure law.
I think you are a bit slow on the uptake. Imagine if *everyone* constantly reported everyone who looks like a foreign national to ICE.
Think about it a bit.
My instincts thought it read like a joke... but this is Slashdot and you never know- there is a lot of stupidity and racism on this forum, you can never be sure.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Unless you're Mexican and it's after 2016, because... well Jesus"
I hope this is a joke- no one is that foolish. If you call every time you hear someone speaking a foreign language you're wasting ICE's time. Tourists, visas, legal immigrants... plenty of people don't speak English in this country for many legitimate reasons. Heck, sometimes I don't speak English.
If you're reporting everyone that doesn't speak English- you'll pretty quickly find yourself in hot water with ICE for wasting their time.

This weapon is much worse than simple killing; I'd say it's a complete flouting of the rules of war. Nice job making it, scientists, but much like the atom bomb, now we have a lasting problem on our hands.
I've seen enough Sci-Fi to know that laser guns are completely inaccurate in the hands of the bad guys- so we needed worry...... unless we are the bad guys.
I don't see what the problem is here. She clearly breached Paypal's rules by up and dying without their permission. They should prosecute her to the full extent provided by law to make sure she doesn't go and do it again.
I am very conscious of all my obligations and debts; therefore I haven't died and won't until I am no longer in breech of anyone's terms of conditions by dying.
It looks like you are trying to declare war on North Korea; would you like me format a letter for you to the President detailing your request for nuclear weapon strikes?
What if you're not at home and need your passwords, how often and how do you sync your keypass file between devices, Mobile device?
I have several methods.
1) I have a formula I use to create a password based on a web address (I actually have several formulas- I tweak it over time)... and even if someone got hold of one password I doubt they could easily reverse engineer the formula).
I don't remember my password, I remember my formula.
2) For IMPORTANT systems such as bank/main e-mail I don't use the formula I use a long complex password that I remember. A unique one for each place. (I only memorise a handful of passwords).
3) If for some reason I didn't use the formula to create a password, and don't remember the password for somewhere... I do password reset.
There is no way in hell I'm trusting ALL my passwords to any one entity.
Africa would be, but the inherent low skilled population combined unstable / corrupt governance makes it too risky as an investment.
Africa will probably be more stable and have better education by the time India reaches the state that China is now. It's interesting how the mantel always gets passed on... At one point America was a cheap place for Europeans to get goods from. Then Japan became a cheap place for Americans to get goods from. Now the world gets its goods from China. No doubt, India and Indonesia are the next countries to take that role- and Africa won't be far behind them.
Give it 200 years and everyone will be importing cheap goods from backwater Europe. It is all cyclical.

This is false. In the US, for one, only Naturlized citizens can see their citizenship revoked.
I wasn't talking about citizens- plenty of people are here legally who do not have citizenship status.

Sorry to disappoint, the East Germans were never this good.
Don't worry, all the East Germans have been deported by ICE.
Vikings: a little more than 1,000 years ago.
Native Americans: a little more than 15,000 years ago.
No doubt they Vikings did arrive on these shores; but the continent was already long since populated.
The best t-shirt I ever saw said something like this (probably not verbatim):
Se vi parolas du lingvojn, vi estas dulingva.
Se vi parolas tri lingvojn vi estas trilingva.
Se vi parolas unu lingvon vi estas usona
or speaks something that is not English

1955??? In a backpack? The first operational laser was in 1960 in a lab.
http://www.press.uchicago.edu/...
Yes, but time travel was invented in 2045.
I predict scale-armor will make a comeback.
I don't, because I predict the laser weapon if it really exists will only see niche operation.
Ignite clothing, cause scars, burn and char flesh, instantly permanently blind eyes, and so on, and so forth.
This weapon is much worse than simple killing; I'd say it's a complete flouting of the rules of war. Nice job making it, scientists, but much like the atom bomb, now we have a lasting problem on our hands.
