I'm not opposed to that. But, we can't just let them walk across the border on Monday and start work on Tuesday.
You asked a question. I tried to give you a serious answer. I agree it’s an answer I’ve given before, but it’s no less true.
What do you think would happen if you replaced all of the jobs in your city with people who haven’t done that job before?
I don’t want to get all knee deep in the hoopla here. Sure, we can get people to do jobs they’ve never done before. But one minute Marconi plays the mamba, and the next one someone stole the dance stage. You feel me?
How will you pay the people who take the jobs that, if done improperly, would destroy a city or kill people?
This is a really broad and longstanding historical discussion, and it’s always been interesting to me how historians’ personal predilections play into their perspectives.
Just want to add that though it’s true I have repeated myself a few times on this issue, compared to your performance in the gun control thread I’m strictly an amateur.
In your frustration to try to hit me with a zinger, you've failed to take into account that I am one of the few that has both changed his stance and proposed solutions for gun control that require compromise by both sides. You have done nothing more than make false statements and stick to your stance of ban all scary looking guns and let everyone enter this country whenever they want. You're not looking for solutions, you're looking to get what you want.
Lol dude I’m not frustrated about you.
Yes, he clearly has “an agenda” however I did like that article is over a decade old so it is removed from our current politics.
Yes, who - from a government that won’t pay for kids to have soap - is going to pay the $20-$30 million a year minimum and $15 billion initial overhead to build and maintain this? How are you going to have stores and hospitals and churches and schools in a place surrounded by a wall and guards? What tools and weapons will you allow people who are under essentially community arrest to have?
Yep. Happy to have it. I’ve had enough excitement in my life. I could use a little boring.
Link?
Again. The billions sitting on McConnells desk might help this situation. The pathetic thing is people believe this ####.
I thought the funding measure was in the house currently. Is there more than one? I admit to not being too current on where bills are.
Like the US Government can't come up with a few thousand toothbrushes and bars of soap. I am actually surprised a company hasn't stepped up to donate thousands of toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.
There is a catch-22 to the donation. It could be seen as helping keep kids in cages or supporting the caged kid/family separation. Some may be worried about blowback.
Or it could go the other way and businesses could put more pressure on social issues. I'm thinking of the things that Nike did recently.
The house hasn’t passed their version of the emergency supplemental border bill that’s supposed to fund this. I’m not sure why anyone is blaming McConnell. The proposed senate bill is actually bipartisan.
They are working on separate bills. Senate has got theirs out of committee, but not passed. House is still in the design phase.
We are spending $750 a day for every kid in containment- can’t afford soap tho, gtfo

I have lost track the last few weeks. There were multiple bills at one point. I believe the most recent one didn't make it through the house because of ONE GOPer. I thought the others that had passed before are just sitting there. I may be wrong about that. NONE of them have been brought to the Senate floor for discussion much less a vote.parasaurolophus said:
The Senate bill is farther ahead than the House bill. It’s already out of committee.
It’s just crazy that it costs 750 a day per kid but that doesn’t cover soap or toothpaste. The private companies running the facilities are making record profits though.
Which is one of the biggest parts of the problem. And as big donors, there appears to be incentive to keep these things running and bringing in money vs actually fixing any problem.
The Senate bill would provide $2.9 billion out of the total of $4.59 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services, for the care of unaccompanied minors; $1.3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security to provide food, shelter and medical care for detained adult migrants. It also includes $145 million for the Department of Defense for medical, surveillance and maintenance activities at the border.
