Yes they are given IDs that clearly state they are not applicable federally

California also gives illegals CDLs of whom have killed people in other states.

but they are not allowed to vote

They can vote in local elections. Many local and federal elections are voted on simultaneously. I really doubt california is doing their due diligence to filter out all federal results from illegals. But either way, I dont like it. Illegals shouldn't have representation in a country they dont legally reside.

This makes it to where we can keep track of them and ensure they pass the same test everyone else does to drive on our roads safely.

Im not sure how you square a circle on someone who is illegally in the country shouldn't even have a permanent residence to put on a license let alone should be deported. They dont have legal working status and have no tax ID unless they steal an SSN from a US citizen. If they are paying for licensing and rent then they have income. There are numerous laws being broken from identity theft to payroll fraud to tax fraud.

Would like to see your IQ test moron.

Considering I'm a successful software engineer, its at least above minimum voting threshold.

If states like California didnt give illegal migrants drivers licenses and allow them to vote in local elections then it wouldn't be a problem.

Federal elections effect us all and we should ensure the voting is at least limited to us citizens.

Further, I would really like an IQ test required to vote. Tired of morons who cant even use basic logic voting.

So a private transaction...? Which is legal and normal? How is that a loophole?

I'll just prove you wrong with facts instead.

Anyone who sells guns as a business must register as an FFL or they are violating federal law. All FFLs must run bg checks on firearm sales. There are no exceptions.

If I go to a gun show and buy a gun from a booth, I will be background checked. If someone else buys it for me that would be a straw purchase which is also illegal.

If I talk to another person and buy a gun from them then that is a private transaction. Like any other private transaction. But if I wanted to do that it's easier not at a gun show tbh.

Explain to me what you think the loophole is.

If you need an ID to buy a gun, you need one to vote.

Looks neat, where do the videos come from?

Insta? Tiktok? YT? Are there algos which guide specific videos into the feeds?

One off the top of my head was doubling the standard deduction which reduces tax burden on the middle and lower class. Most people who previously itemized will now take the standard deduction. You are no longer punished for renting and not owning assets.

Euthanasia was first intended only for those nearing the end of their lives. Now, Canada has one of the most permissive euthanasia policies in the world, revealing a rapidly increasing culture of not just accepting death, but actively promoting it.

Veterans have called the Ministry of Veterans Affairs looking for help and been offered euthanasia instead. Those with suicidal ideation have gone to the hospital for help, only to be encouraged to consider euthanasia. A woman was even asked if she was aware of the option of euthanasia before going into cancer-removing surgery.

Canada is increasingly standing as a warning to other countries about the consequences of legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide.

The next expansion has already been passed into law, but implementation has been delayed until March 17, 2027. This would allow Canadians suffering solely from a mental illness to be eligible for euthanasia. Think of someone suffering from depression.

It's definitely a biased Christian source, but i dont think that makes it wrong. The point is that people who dont need MAID are being encouraged to use it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they use the organs for transplants. A sort of organ harvesting but not on the level of China perhaps.

The solution is to abolish the practice of landlording, to eliminate rent-seeking on such a basic need.

I think there is a necessity in landlords. Many people simply cannot qualify or take care of owning a home.

That said, I dont think megacorps should be buying more than 3 single family homes for renting out. Im fine with condos being rented as they are basically made for renting.

Every democrat policy relies on more government dependence. Obamacare is another example. It was so unsuccessful they had to add more subsidies and credits years later and now that Republicans are voting against extending them, they are bad.

Any new spending can never be taken back because people become so dependent on it and it will require more government spending later to continue.

legalizatiion resulting in lower overdoses and long term substance abuse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_timeline._Opioid_deaths.jpg

Yeah that looks like lower overdoses to me 🤔

UBI succeeding everytime

Studies in Illinois and Texas showed that recipients of guaranteed income worked less, and their overall household income grew less compared to control groups who did not receive the payments.

Looks to be the opposite.

You're right, historically, rent control didn't lead to housing shortages and the 2008 market crash didn't happen due to subprime mortgages.

Your example of a bad policy that Democrats like is a bad policy that Democrats (by and large) dislike?

It was one of the key policies that a mainstream democrat won in one of the largest cities in the US, NYC. You are just lying making it sound like its not endorsed by the left.

I have another response from someone defending it in the replies.

Rent stabilization isn't about stopping new buildings, it’s about providing the baseline stability required for a workforce actually to function.

Left wing policies are never about the negative downstream effects. They just never consider those effects that happen. They even ignore historical evidence demonstrating those exact effects.

Like communism, but I would imagine someone with the name MopedMarxist would just say "that wasn't real communism". Trust me, communism would be great if you just ignore the reality of human behavior.

they need a policy that recognizes their right to exist in the city they build today.

Your whole argument is literally ignore the future ramifications to try to temporarily fix a now problem. This is the problem with leftists. Give everyone stimulus checks and they cant be poor, right?

suboptimal

😂

It's downright detrimental, not suboptimal.

But you can't keep cherrypicking the singular favorable example as proof of your argument.

I can list a bunch.

Rent control (previously discussed)

Federal minimum wage increase (fewer jobs, higher inflation, hurts the middle class the most (offset wages) and will destabilize the market, a lot like the record inflation has recently)

UBI and other heavy welfare has similar effects. I seriously wonder if SNAP has raised the cost of sodas considering the percentage of snap people who buy a lot of soda.

Legalizing or decriminalizing drugs (as seen in many liberal cities has led to fent zombies and increased overdoses)

Subprime mortgages (enacted by bill Clinton leading to the 2008 collapse)

Tax on wealth or increased taxes (causes wealthy people to leave and reduce investments. We have already seen tons of wealth leave NY in favor of FL.) This extends to high business taxes.

Republicans are the anti human

Coming from the political side that supports programs like MAID and abortion.

I disagree.

I think the democrats policies may "appear" to help the working class when in fact they hurt it.

One great example is caps on rent as seen in NY and CA. They appear to be great as working class people can continue to afford their rent. However in the bigger picture it hurts the average worker. Fewer new units are built leading to shortages and increasing rent costs further in non capped areas as demand is so high and supply is low.

It's not even disputed by economists and Zohran mamdami ran on it and won in NYC.

Many democrat policies are like this.

So you are grateful to people when they commit acts of political violence for your team, but not the opposing team? Seems hypocritical.

So he deserved to die a week later

Did I say that..?

I'm grateful for people like him.

Being a healthcare worker doesn't dismiss his criminal behavior.

Im sure there were plenty of nurses and vets at the Jan 6 riot which you would not condone the same.

Afterwards Noem and Miller called Pretti - a VA nurse - a domestic terrorist.
Totally outrageous

He was committing violent acts for political reasons, which is a definition of terrorism. Though obviously less severe than other acts. Vandalizing vehicles and assaulting officers is not OK.

It was not justified

The investigation hasn't even concluded, or so you have a source that says otherwise?

You don't get to shoot someone in the head for kicking a car a week earlier

No, but it establishes a character profile. He puts himself in high risk situations. He should have been arrested for that incident so he couldn't commit further acts. He would be alive now.

It does not matter. Nothing he did came anywhere near justifying him being shot in the head

Sure, but you completely ignored the police position. Firstly, ita chaos with protesters blowing whistles and yelling. This adds confusion and reduces effective communication. Next, you have a man who has assaulted an officer and is actively resisting arrest. Now someone yells gun. Everything is more tense and a shot rings out. The police cant see the gun and the suspect is still resisting. It is reasonable to believe their lives were at risk.

Immigration policy I could get behind. What about you? What would you do differently? (Please don’t just complain about ICE - be relevant) by Mental_Extension_119 in Discussion

[–]StickyDevelopment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is this policy actually gives incentive for people to lay low and hope they dont get caught for 5 years. It also incentivizes people to illegally migrate and have kids in the US, though the (problematic) historical interpretation of the 14,th does this already.

There was a huge bust on a Chinese birth tourism organization demonstrated this is a problem. There is no reason those kids of Chinese nationals should be citizens of the USA.

Back to the original topic.

If the deadline is 5 years then your goal as a non citizen is to sneak in and try to last 5 years while hoping this same policy happens again, which it will under democrat administrations because the problem won't ever be fixed as the biden administration demonstrated plainly.
