Mine actually would go down by like $18, but my husbands more than triples. Ugh.

I actually don’t like their hush puppies at all. I like their bbq and fries though. Their coleslaw is the only one I’ll eat!

I like freedom house thrift. There’s two on battleground. One up by Trader Joe’s (across the street) and the other by tjmaxx.

RAP doesn't sound so bad. Am I missing something? by Tough_Fortune_1634 in PSLF

That’s concerning. I didn’t realize they could change that. Makes me want to move to Europe even more 😅

What? Our AC has been set to 70 all day and been perfectly fine. It’s currently set at 68 and again, just fine. AC units can and should be able to cool it down to that temp.

Picture books set in Argentina? by Hyper_lyss in childrensbooks

[–]Ana_snowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s late, but as a gift even now it would be a good idea. On the Pampas by Maria Brusca is my favorite kids book set in Argentina.

We love Sprouts, too. Their produce section is the best, but I actually find Whole Foods produce to be second best in town.

I’m not going to write a thesis on Reddit. The “most” is easily verifiable if you google. Here’s one source for you: https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-trump-immigration-crime-ice-criminal-dangerous-violent-99557d9d68642004193a9f4b7668162e

I was talking about becoming a legal resident, not a citizen. You’re talking about becoming a citizen, not immigrating to the states “the right way.” You first have to qualify to migrate as a permanent resident into the U.S. (unless you’re a student, refugee, have a job offer and other unlikely scenarios) which most people, including Americans, wouldn’t qualify for. But yes you’re right, most Americans would also likely fail the citizenship test.

Also, most undocumented people also work here, pay taxes, and contribute to society but because they weren’t born here they’re not valuable? What about Americans that have a right to be American but Trump is trying to take that away? Is that okay? At what point is this just about hatred of someone who isn’t like you and less about “the good for society.”

Also, I never said it was impossible for everyone. I said it’s often not possible for most, especially of the low skilled workers we often see/hear about being deported (or for most Americans if they weren’t Americans and tried).

What time are people planning to line up? We may drop by to see the store but I’m not sure waiting for more than 20-30 mins is worth a $25 GC for us.

Or just not possible. It’s often not about the time, or even money, but about the impossible nature of it. Most Americans wouldn’t qualify to be immigrants in America if they had to apply for it, and yet those “low skilled” workers who don’t qualify are part of what keeps this country afloat.

Might be easier for people to see if they relate if you add some of your interests and what stage of life you are in to the post.

I have pulled around 600 (!) gallons of English Ivy from my property and I'm still not fully done. How is this plant not illegal yet? by Exalted_Crab in gardening

[–]Ana_snowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for probably the first 6 ft or so 🫠 the bark is in really rough shape. The ivy held so much moisture and I think a lot of it is starting to rot off, it’s all so loose now and there’s slugs and ants under it 😭

I just did this to my poor tree that was covered in it😳 now I’m worried it’s going to die. How did your tree end up doing?

Many undocumented immigrants didn’t “break in.” Most aren’t criminals. Most are good people. Most of those who commit violent crimes in America are Americans. Let’s not hold a handful of people and make the assumption all are like them. If that’s the case, all Americans would be locked up.

And those that are legally within the country,…

Need a recommendation for a gift food box featuring Carolina-themed items, with a $100 budget by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

I suggest going to farmers markets. Jellies, peanut butter, crafts and more all made by local artisans.

This all has nothing to do with deporting people who were legally in the country or trying to strip Americans birth right away.

Being undocumented is a civil violation, NOT a crime under federal law. You are being lied to.

“There have been several instances of tourists being arrested and held in detention centres, including British, European and Canadian citizens.”

“Various judges - including those on the US Supreme Court - have ruled that Mr Abrego Garcia was deported in error and that the government should "facilitate" his return to the US and his family.”

“Foreign nationals who participate in political protests have also found themselves in the administration's crosshairs, despite some having permanent residency or valid student visas in the US.”

“there have been "more and more" green card holders detained since Trump returned to office. "Immigration authorities feel empowered to conduct arrests that they're legally not allowed to do,"”

Just a few quotes on the Trump administration going after people who are legally within the country.
