I agree but it goes further than this. The number one blame goes to congress who for MORE Than a year claimed the border crisis was fabricated. I think they should of marched congress down to the border and made them tell those in detention this is all a fabricated problem and they will not have any future issues come their way... no deaths, no over crowding, etc... it is all a fabrication. A year later, Congress proved their uselessness over the issue.. now flip-flopping and blaming ICE and everyone they can for this 'crisis'. Second, As I understand the concept of a 'budget', you get so much funds and work within that... so if Congress refused to provide funds, you do what is feasible with what you have. Congress should be required to go down and tell all those in detention why they refused to help for more than a year... this is their job. Now, ICE should have been more proactive on some level; if they can transport folks to another location now, why didn't they do it earlier. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warren honestly looked like a deer in headlight at times... then thumped her fist on her talking points. I saw when asked who would support Government run health care for all, only Warren and De Blasio. One CNN opinion piece ranked them as follows: 1.) Amy Klobuchar - While seemed to be prepared, I don't see her as the winner... top 3 for sure. Nothing memorable to me but a bit feisty at times. 2.) Elizabeth Warren - She obviously was NBCs choice candidate.. the bias was baffling as was her delays. USAToday had her as a 'loser' ... CNN puts her #2 3.) Cory Booker - He talked the most but that is part of his problem... Felt he played the race card a bit and his "it is personal" comment seemed emotionally over the top. 4.) Tulsi Gabbard - Only hit one time when pushed back against staying in Afghanistan and correcting Ryan on 9/11. Tried to play her service time a few times but not sure that resonated. 5.) Beto O'Rourke - Failed. 6.) Julián Castro - The most impressive to me. I think he may of won the night. 7.) John Delaney - He was generally forgettable but not sure if that was because he came across as too moderate? And lacked details? 8.) Jay Inslee - Not sure why he was there. 9.) Bill de Blasio - He liked to talk over people and cut them off... seems like he puts people off easily. 10.) Tim Ryan - I think harping about the left 'elite' and need to focus on the middle of the country makes sense but to repeat it twice... then Tulsi had to school him on 9/11... I think he sunk his own battle ship. The items overall that stuck: 1. They railed against the strongest economy of the last 50 years. So they are still trying to create the impression of economic victimization. That's why they want universal healthcare, free college, etc. Seemed capitalistic argument to me. 2. They railed against stuff that was pre-Trump as if he created it... Mostly about Healthcare... they came short of saying O-Care is BS for many americans... but at times some were honest enough to say it (some issues) have been around a long time and will for a lot longer [till something is done]. 3. Empty, impossible promises. This was a primary debate after all. 4. Lies... Look at #3 I laughed at this one: Farmers are suffering due to climate change... fields are underwater. Their markets have been removed by tariffs If the fields are underwater... there is NO MARKET to consider. Deceptive message. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have SCOTUS rule on this one other issue here: Quote The court rejected challenges to Republican-drawn congressional districts in North Carolina and a Democratic district in Maryland. The decision was a major blow to critics of the partisan manipulation of electoral maps that can result when one party controls redistricting. The districting plans “are highly partisan by any measure,” Roberts said. But he said courts are the wrong place to settle these disputes. Yet, on the citizen question: Quote A lower court found the administration violated federal law in the way it tried to add a question broadly asking about citizenship for the first time since 1950. The Census Bureau’s own experts have predicted that millions of Hispanics and immigrants would go uncounted if the census asked everyone if he or she is an American citizen. Immigrant advocacy organizations and Democratic-led states, cities and counties argue the citizenship question is intended to discourage the participation of minorities, primarily Hispanics, who tend to support Democrats, from filling out census forms. The challengers say they would get less federal money and fewer seats in Congress if the census asks about citizenship because people with noncitizens in their households would be less likely to fill out their census forms. Evidence uncovered since the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case in late April supports claims that the citizenship question is part of a broader Republican effort to accrue political power at the expense of minorities, the challengers say. The problems I see: 1. SCOTUS says the court should not decide redistricting issues... yet, the oppposition to the census question is to accuse it of affecting future redistricting SCOTUS just played a crystal ball argument on re-shake. 2. Lest we forget, It was on past census but NOW it violates federal law ? 2. And I guess most everyone forgot this... Question eight, on page eight, inquired: “Is this person a citizen of the United States,” and offered the same options as did the 2000 Census. All eight of Obama’s ACS’s posed this question in Spanish: ¿Es esta persona ciudadana de los Estados Unidos? So the argument goes like this... I think: The very people we are afraid to ask the question, had the question under Obama in their native language version 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stosh Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Actually the ciudadana question may pose a problem for some Immigrants who are residing here , perhaps with temporary papers , because they may lose their Mexican Nationality by Naturalisation ,by signing the census, without having actually become American citizens. Not to mention they may rightly expect deportation. For instance, you are born in Guatemala , grow up in Mexico , live in the states five years and get a drivers license, but you haven't been actually granted Citizenship HERE . I'm not sure , but you might then be royally screwed ,because you moved to a sanctuary city. However there is nothing new for US about asking the question, whether some choose not to participate, is up to them. Mexico - Nationality and citizenship In Article 30, the Constitution establishes that Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalisation. Mexican legislation applies the principles of ius soli and ius sanguini for acquiring nationality by birth. Mexicans by birth are: those born in the territory of the Republic, regardless of the nationality of their parents; those born abroad, who are children of a Mexican father or mother born in the national territory, or Mexicans by naturalization; those born on board Mexican vessels or aircraft, whether warships or merchant. Mexicans by naturalisation are: Foreigners that obtain from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a letter of naturalisation, under one of the following events, and who satisfy the other requirements established by the nationality act and its regulation: Have resided in the MexicanRepublic for five years or more with a migration document that authorises their residency; Have resided in the Mexican Republic for two years or more with a migration document that authorises their residency, provided that they are: a direct line descendant of a Mexican by birth, have Mexican children by birth, or are natives of a Latin American or Iberian Peninsula country; Have provided distinguished services to the nation; Have contracted marriage with a Mexican man or woman, and possess marital domicile within the national territory for two years or more, prior to the application. Likewise, Article 37 of the Constitution defines that no Mexican by birth may be deprived of his/her nationality, and that Mexican nationality by naturalisation will be lost due to voluntary acquisition of a foreign nationality, by pretending to be a foreigner on any public instrument, by using a foreign passport, or by using nobility titles that imply submission to a foreign state, and for residing during five continuous years abroad. On the other hand, the Nationality Act (1998) recognises non-loss of Mexican nationality just by mere acquisition of any other nationality. Articles 34 to 38 of the Constitution establishes that men and women are citizens of the Republic that, having the status of Mexicans (by birth or by naturaliSation), have reached 18 years of age. Article 37 defines that Mexican citizenship is lost upon acceptance or use of nobility titles of foreign governments; by providing voluntarily official services to a foreign government without the permission of the Federal Congress or its Permanent Commission; by acceptance or use of foreign decorations without the permission of the Federal Congress or its Permanent Commission; for admitting from the government of another country titles or functions without prior consent of the Federal Congress or its Permanent Commission, exempting literary, scientific, or humanitarian titles that can be accepted freely; for assisting, against the Nation, a foreigner or foreign government, in any diplomatic claim or before an international court, and in other cases set forth by law.
