" Might be time time to remind folks folks what happened last time Trump floated the possibility of refusing to accept the integrity of the November election... his opponents STILL haven't accepted the results, and claimed it was 'hacked' by Russians through internet spam. This after claiming that anyone who claim that the US election could be hacked or 'stolen' were 'traitors'. L0L As for postponing the election, that is nonsense.

Volourn Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Kidding right? dems have been trying to overturn the election results for nearly the last 4 years. Trump is a punk. The election should be held on the same day it always is, virus be damned. And, it should follow the same rules and guidelines it has - just through in social distancing and since most places have the mask rule (whether people like it or not). That's all the changes you need. One could make the arghument to have in person voting be done over 3 days saince voting will be slower but anything more than that is garbage. Nor do I care whole is being anti freedome and democracy. democracy should be pushed hard during a crisis not weaken. Too bad no government believes that.

And, my fellow Kanadians are hypocrites since we are cheer our gov't every time they arrest, assault, and murder Amerikans who 'illegally' enter our country but we shake our fingers at the US for enforcing their own laws - espciially Amerikan immigration laws are rather tame compared to other countries - including and especially the South/Central Amerika countries.

The Thousands of Children Who Go to Immigration Court Alone not just kids.

Hurlshort Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Immigration law is a mess and changes with every administration. The idea that people fleeing abject poverty and violence need to be better at understanding immigrarion law is ridiculous. Also where are you dropping them off, exactly? Maybe you can load them into trains as you send them off, Volo. That doesn't sound anything like nazism. I would rather us just be good people and take in everybody. Open borders, decent programs to help transition. It isn't even as selfless or naive as it sounds, as most economist agree that immigration as a whole is a long term plus. Surprisingly, this is a libertarian policy, and easily the one I agree with the most. 2
Volourn Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 "Maybe you can load them into trains as you send them off, Volo. That doesn't sound anything like nazism. " How 'bout send them home. You know full well if I went to the US illegally, you and others would want me thrown out of the country no questions asked if not outright killed. Heck, my fellow Kanadians want Amerikans who sneak into our country locked upo for life or murdered out right. How 'bout they try to fix their hom countries instead of trying to turn a new country into their old failed state. Immigrants are awesome. But, why should they not follow the law like everyone else? But, hey, a cops kills someone who didn't wear a mask that is a-ok. But, someone sneaks into the country illegally while others actually follow the legal process is absolutely fine. Notice how nbody cares about other countries - including my own - that have much worse draconian measures to deal with in terms of (illegal) immigration. "most economist agree that immigration as a whole is a long term plus. " Immigration is good. I'm talking illegal immigration. Which is bad for everyone including the illegal immigrants and the country's poor. There is a reason why businesses love illegal immigration - it allows them to pay 3rd world salaries which is evil. Come in legally and that kind of thing is way less likely to happen. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
