"The President's role is to ensure the nation's borders are secure and to protect the American people from the effects of unlawful migration. This includes taking action against illegal aliens, potential terrorists, and the entry of contraband and fugitives. The President's administration can also adjust parole policies and take measures to resume Migrant Protection Protocols."
do you absolutely not care one whit about what asylum law says?
Does Saudi Arabia pretend to care? No. We should be more like them.
Did Eric post anything about the trade deficit soaring 139% over the last two months?
All of the other statues that Trump can use to impose tariffs have significant restrictions, and the government will likely have to refund the money it has illegally collected since "Liberation Day."
gary is arguing here that trump is terrible at being president and caused international chaos because trump can't manage the role of POTUS. Piggie hires bad people who advise him poorly and trump is too ignorant to care.
Gary is arguing that trump should have used a different law to enact the tariffs but trump is garbage, so he didn't.
Good job Gary! Hard hitting analysis and glad you are pointing out how bad at being president trump is.
Why does the exact law matter? Trump has the right to impose Tariffs at will to deal with Threats to America.
Clearly he does not. Are you even paying attention, son?

do you absolutely not care one whit about what asylum law says?
Of the 12 million illegals crossing the border illegally, how many were actually seeking asylum? Were the rapists, murderers and pedophiles seeking asylum? Were they going through the proper channels of immigration?
Bad things always happen when Trump tells his legal team how to do the legal.
I recall when Trump was directing Todd Blanch in his shagging the Porn model election interference case. He could have won that case if he allowed lawyers to practice their trade. Instead the trial became a show for an audience of one and he lost in a unanimous decision. Trump wanted Stormy to be publicly humiliated and the opposite occurred.
That case was a complete hoax. That was the epitome of kangaroo courts. One thing - one misdemeanor at best - was stretched into 34 fake felonies via a “novel” legal interpretation
There was no "novel" legal interpretation. Whoever told you that was lying to you.
Trump was convicted under § 175.10 -- "Falsifying business records in the first degree."
The plain English language for that New York statute (enacted in 1986) is:
"A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof."
That's English. What "novel" interpretation was you talking about? There was and is no "novel" interpretation of that. It was interpreted to mean what it says in English.

"we should be less a constitutional democratic republic and more an islamic monarchy"
They’re a developed and rich country who doesn’t have a migrant problem. Why? Occasionally they shoot migrants who try to cross the border.
are you the guy who also falsely claimed that Poland doesn't have immigrants?
anyway, you are digging a very deep hole here. Saudi of course has one of the very very largest immigrant populations on the planet.
Come on man. Try. Try. You could not have picked a worse example to make your argument. You want the US to have 30-40% of our population immigrants? Be more like Saudi, you say?
Saudi:
As of 2025, there are over 13 million immigrants living and working in Saudi Arabia, which constitutes approximately 35–37% of the total population. Additionally, 41.6% of inhabitants are reported to be immigrants as of 2024. This makes Saudi Arabia one of the top destinations for immigrants worldwide

Migrant workers are different. Qatar also has a lot of migrant workers. But you know what they don’t have? Birthright citizenship

Where in that text do you see the word "tariff"?
you will not find many constitutional scholars who think tariffs aren't part of 'taxes, duties, imposts, excises.'
We asked AI if Trump's wonderful Tariffs were good for the U.S, and got this one view:
The "Bad": Broad Economic Costs Most non-partisan economic analyses (from the CBO, Tax Foundation, and others) suggest the aggregate cost to the U.S. economy was negative: "Higher Prices for Consumers: Studies show that nearly 90% of the tariff costs were passed on to American consumers and businesses. This added an estimated $1,000 to $1,300 to the annual expenses of the average U.S. household. Manufacturing Headwinds: While "import-competing" manufacturers (like steel) benefited, "steel-consuming" manufacturers (like the auto and machinery industries) faced much higher production costs, leading to layoffs and higher sticker prices for cars. Agriculture Retaliation: American farmers were hit hardest by retaliatory tariffs from China and other nations. The U.S. government had to provide tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to keep many farms afloat during the height of the trade tensions. The Trade Deficit: Despite the goal of reducing the trade imbalance, the U.S. trade deficit actually increased in several years during and after the tariff implementations, as trade simply shifted from China to other countries like Vietnam and Taiwan. Current Status (2026)"

There's no "likely" involved, Sally. Trump and the government WILL have to refund all the money it illegally took from American businesses and taxpayers. This will be a HUGE boost to American businesses suffering under Trump's fat taxes and regulations. It comes at a good time too, when decent, hard-working, J. Christ-fearing Americans are struggling to buy eggs and soy sauce.

there are approximately 12 magas in the country who would be for a work permit setup that let tens of millions of spanish speakers into the country to work like SA or Quatar do.
you are being disingenuous. Not a maga thing.
that said, birthright citizenship is a big deal and yes, there is a lot of debate whether it's a good idea. I don't think it is a good idea.
