Impressed by the Trump administration part II

Bro, yes they do. They do that every quarter. 

Yeah, it's sort of important that there's some semblance of open disclosure regarding the market, particularly since ... you know ... it's only been a decade since a financial crisis that largely resulted from an absence of open disclosure.

Then again, I'm not surprised that this is what Spock came up with.

That and the fact that the leaches sucking the tit of our tax dollars.....the unfairness to our job markets......unfairness to the thousands of people in line trying to get in legally.

To suckle at that tit, you need a SSN.  Guess who doesn't have a SSN.

As for the lack of fairness in the job market, whose jobs are they stealing?

Google it and you will find numbers all over the place due to biased media.  Somewhere north of 70 billion.

Translation: I just make shit up.  Either take my word for it, or YOU do the leg work.

LOL at you thinking illegals dont have a SSN.  My brother runs a large company in NC and he had 12 people with the same SSN.

You can find that stat on government websites

Regardless, do you think a wall will stop the drugs moving into the country?  You made the point that 90% of the drugs come in over the border. So if the wall goes up, will that reduce the drugs coming in by 90% or something quite high like that?  

Assuming Trump understands that basic supply and demand will hold true in the drug market with or without a wall, I believe then his reason for the wall is to keep dark skinned people out.  They are different, so they are evil and scary.  I have yet to see a compelling case as to why his motivation is anything other than this.

Given the fact that all total social programs combined cost the average tax payer a few dollars a year I don’t think it’s a huge issue

The "average" taxpayer pays next to nothing. OTOH, those of us who pay our share and tens of other peoples' shares, all government spending (aka theft) is a pretty big deal.

I hope you are joking and are not serious.

Confirmation bias, you refuse to entertain any other reason and just assume you are correct. Therefore, even with a logical reasoning behind a wall you will just blow it off as it doesn't fit your narrative.

I always thought it was around 75$ A year avg for a person making 100k if I remember reading correctly

Listing one for vocational reasons isn't exactly synonymous with public assistance, where a person's SSN is what SNAP benefits are actually tied to.

It's adorable that you think they're the same thing, though.

Just in social security for $100,000 salary.....social security is a "social program".  You are paying for other people to not work.  As for the rest of "social programs, Welfare and medicaid = over $700 billion:

Illegals can’t get social security or welfare ir food stamps

In fairness to Spock, it IS possible for undocumented immigrants to still qualify for WIC in obviously particular situations, and those born in the US as children of undocumented immigrants qualify for Medicaid (though the parents cannot).

However, the amount of social program spending that goes to illegal immigrants is negligible compared to most of our other spending.

Everyone has confirmation bias - it’s part of the human condition.  I don’t refuse to entertain other reasons for a wall. I sad that I haven’t yet heard a compelling reason as to why it is happening.

You are somewhat naive...just because it is illegal for them to get a SS card or number, doesn't mean they don't do it/forge it.

7k out soon. This is Trump's war now. If Afghanistan falls, it is in him now. 

The Syrian removal is more execution than anything. We are just leaving our allies high and dry there. The Kurds are fucked. Turkey is going to wipe them out now.

Also, it is a debate on whether ISIS is actually gone or not. I've read some well respected terrorism experts say this has vibes of the pullout in sections in Iraq that allowed ISIS to ultimately form some years ago. 

I think the bigger deal is process and how Trump doesn't give a shit about allies or strategic thought.  That is most likely why Mattis decided to leave. 

Your boy Bolton loves this post.

I read your links still looking for the part where they are getting food stamps or welfare. If anything it proves the point that illegals come here to work and contribute not get free welfare
