By the Numbers:
How the Biden/Harris Immigration Platform Will Fuel a Staggering Increase of Immigrants and Population Growth.

https://www.fairus.org/issue/amnesty/numbers-how-biden-harris-immigration-platform

Just what's needed .....when all the problems listed earlier in this forum regarding housing shortages, poverty, lack of education health etc...exist...
..massive immigration, massive population increase 'immediately'...NOT.

Should be interesting.

Not much time to get all the folks backed up in Mexico in and processed before those folks show up. Good thing we can start right away if we haven’t already.

“Offering violence and calling it order”

[FlyingVProd]

I fully support programs which feed the hungry, because I know what it is like to be hungry. And no child should have to work for food to eat. 

I support helping the homeless, because I know what it is like to be homeless. The Bible tells us to help the homeless, and we need to be there for each other during the hard times. And we give money to people all over the world, we can at least help the homeless people here in the USA, we should help every American before we give one cent to another nation. When you are out there homeless then you feel like everyone hates you, and Jesus is all about love, so the Christians need to show love for the homeless and we need to all help the homeless, and we need to make the people feel loved instead of hated. We need more love in the world.

I support job creation, because I know what it is like to need a job. I know what it is like to just want to earn an honest living, I know what it is like to just want an honest day's wages for an honest day's work. And our hard work needs to be enough for us to earn food and shelter, etc.

I support health care for everyone, and I know what it is like to need health care. And we need good mental health care as well. And I support having Wellness Centers in every town where people can get help. 

I give a smile to a stranger because I know what it is like to need a smile from a stranger.

The hard times do not need to ruin us, we do not need to become hardened and bitter, we can be more gentle and helping and we can be more loving, it is all about the direction in which we wish to grow. I choose to grow to be more loving. And I still have boundaries, being more loving does not mean you will allow people into your life to abuse you. But, I will always give a few dollars to a homeless guy for a sandwich, and I will support ways of helping the needy, etc. And I will support programs for homeless actors, and I support creating more jobs in the entertainment industry, etc. And I will be a better boss, because I know what it is like to be desperate for an honest job with a good boss. 

Salute,

Tony V.

They are not countries, but districts and regions.

Georgia is a country.

Time for you to stop supporting the political party that has consistently opposed all of those things for decades, Tony.

Long since.

When republicans get over their hatred of America they can be allowed to return to the political process. Till then, they shall be hunted in their ranges and their nests until they can’t muster the numbers to threaten anyone any more.

The Republican Parth needs to go the way of the Whigs they replaced. We should treat them as if they were Carthage.

Trump First to the Last...

and from first to worst.

The US road death toll since 9/11 is about 700.000.
700,000 people...staggering number.
What about an advertising campaign..."Towards Zero".
Show a person interviewed...asked the question "What would be an acceptable number"? 
The person says say "200,000".
The person then has 200,000 people parade past, mom's, dads, kids, babies.
The person is shocked.
Then the slogan is announced " Towards Zero".

In 2001, we had more than 42,000 traffic deaths - 1.51 deaths per million miles driven, 14.79 people per 100,000.
In 2011, we had more than 32,000 traffic deaths - 1.1 deaths per million miles driven, 10.43 people per 100,000.
In 2018, we had more than 36,500 traffic deaths - 1.13 deaths per million miles driven, 11.18 people per 100,000.

Australia had a rate of deaths per 100,000 population of 4.3 in 2019, blowing the US away, for all that we are far better than we were 20, 30, 40 years ago.

[bambu.]

And?

I got that wrong.
It would be 38,000...the yearly total.
Say 10,000 people parading past.
.
And?
The ad would hopefully make people drive more carefully so as to reduce the road toll to zero.

I wasn't being critical, it's just a lot of people dying for nothing.
We have that Towards Zero campaign.
It is making a difference.
Speed cameras everywhere.
Cameras looking into cars from bridges, buildings etc catching drivers holding cell phones while driving.
Cops setting up randomly anywhere, testing 'everyone' fro drunk and drug driving.
No more court appearances, driving bans and fines are automatic.
Blow into the device, go over the limit, you get arrested and taken to the police station...blow into the alcohol machine or provide a drug test...fail the alcohol test you lose your licence for 9 months and pay $600 fine.
Drug test comes back from the lab positive, automatic licence suspension and fine.
Think you can appeal in court but good luck.
