re: What do all you Iran sympathizers say about this..

Should we leave them alone then and allow them to someday acquire the technology? Should we leave them to enrich enough uranium to develop a dirty bomb that could be smuggled into the USA and detonated here?
Some of y'all will just never learn.
You'll always live in a perpetual state of readiness to be told who the enemy is and demand that other people go risk their lives to fight them.

re: Do the people who run your state really want illegal immigrants removed?

Yep, immigrating to Japan is even harder.
All of the following are true at the same time:
Many people legally immigrate to the USA every year.
It's a difficult, expensive, time-consuming process.
There are industries that, whether by choice or necessity, employ a lot of people who didn't or couldn't make it through that process.
Some places are even more difficult to immigrate to.

quote:Well, it takes over 3 years to process an employment based green card. It's also true that it takes over two years on average before your case is heard in an immigration court. You might run into a bottleneck based on a country cap if you're trying to come in legally from the Phillipines, Mexico, China, etc. You have to pay hundreds for your visa and visa integrity fee. (Not a big cost to you and me, but it is to many people globally.) We now have restrictions on nationals from about forty different countries. You can be automatically denied based on a clerical error or missing one deadline. You might have to go through PERM for a year and a half before you can file for a green card.
We've had more legal immigration than any other country in the world.
Define "very, very hard".
How hard it is to immigrate mostly seems to depend on where you're from and how much money you already have.

quote:That's true.
It could be someone’s argument,
This is part of the problem. A lot of businesses in the USA rely on immigrants for labor, and a subset of those rely specifically on illegal immigrants that they can pay below minimum wage and force to work in ways that violate labor laws.
It's quite a hypocritical society when we make it very, very hard to immigrate legally while simultaneously relying on illegal labor for our agriculture and complaining about illegal immigration.
They're here because people in business want them here. They're both invited and disinvited to the USA at the same time.

quote:Because being "that guy" who never lets anything roll off his back is a core part of who Trump is. He's psychologically incapable of letting any criticism go without response. He can't do it.
Can’t understand why Trump does it all the time.
Trump's entire life revolves around the principle of always being seen as strong, and his strategy for that has been to escalate every confrontation until the other person blinks and to never apologize for anything he does. His relationships with others are transactional. As long as the other person is helping him reach that goal of being seen as strong, they're great! If the other person isn't helping him reach that goal, they're scum! Unlike most of us, he doesn't have a mental category for "people who don't like me, but are still smart/good/capable people."

I’m curious.
Was Kip Tyner like a Donnie Azoff type of crackhead or was he a Tyrone Biggums?
Regardless, ol' Kip seems to have overcome whatever struggles he was facing and is certainly one of the more professional members of our city council today.
I grant you that he's no Sharon Weston Broome, but he's generally quite capable in areas of governance.

quote:I live in Tuscaloosa, and this is hyperbolic.
It isn’t San Francisco bad yet, but it is clear that local politicians and law enforcement have turned a blind eye to crime - at least certain crimes - so as not to upset their constituents. You see it in most larger cities, but it doesn’t change how much it sucks when you let the inmates run the asylum.
They have let it overrun the city. It used to be contained in certain areas. Now on many weekends the strip becomes a gangland.
Crime is concentrated in a couple of areas: around Bowers Park in the east, around Rosedale and McKenzie Courts housing projects, and in the southwest area around Stillman. None of these are places where students or visitors have any reason to be, and the violent crimes are people in the drug game committing violence against one another. (I'm not forgetting Alberta, it's actually gotten a lot better.)
The situation on the Strip after games is a whole other animal that involves people from surrounding rural areas and communities.
The weakest link in the justice system isn't the local cops, DA's or the mayor: it's the enormous backlog in the court system. It takes forever to move a case through the courts, and people who have no business being paroled are released until trial way too often.
BTW, all this is coming from someone with a pretty low opinion of our mayor. He's past his expiration date, but saying that the city is "overrun" is ridiculous.

quote:I'll man up and eat crow: One of those people was me, and I was wrong.
I made a comment about the type of people on the strip I noticed walking back to my car after the '24 game and was basically called an idiot or a racist.
I know where the high crime areas of Tuscaloosa are (generally speaking, they're places where no one who isn't from that neighborhood has any reason to be, and they aren't near campus), but I didn't realize what the environment on the Strip after games had become because that isn't really my scene.
The problem is people coming in from surrounding areas to hang out and be seen. Unfortunately, some of them come armed and get drunk/high and belligerent.
