Again, the tax break would be in exchange for them not receiving any benefits.

You seem to think it is more of a "they need us than we need them" situation: if so, think again: the need is mutual / reciprocal.

Liberals be damned: Trump controls congress and the USSC, let him ramrod it through.

Of course the wetbacks will whine but in the end they'll cave in as they want to work, even if it means they cannot be citizens.

It's absolutely amazing they got as far as they did. It just goes to show, the USA is the land of opportunity, including for the corrupt ones.

They get the benefit of working here.

Yes, and we get the benefit of their hard work, work which Americans are too lazy and too entitled to do in their place and stead.

IIRC you or someone like you espousing the MAGA mantra opined that in fact there are plenty of Americans to do the work that illegals do currently.

I guess "time will tell" if the deportation of illegals really ramps up into high gear, but gee, I see that the oaf is already waffling...nothing new there.

But wait...didn't Trump say he'll end "Biden's inflation?"

You know, just like he'd end the Ukraine war on day one?

How can he prevent / end inflationt if wages double or triple for millions of workers?

The employers will pass it on the consumer and inflation will sky rocket.

Plus even at twice the pay I don't see Americans willing to bust their ass in the hot sun picking fruits and veggies, or working in slaughter houses and meat packing plants,or hanging sheet rock.

But as I said, "time will tell."

I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Excuse me, but he was convicted by a jury.

Do you believe we should disregard jury verdicts?

The fact that politics was indirectly involved means very little to me as a retired attorney.

I don't care whether the DA was republican or democrat so long as the case went by the numbers and it most certainly did.

Trump had a fair hearing and was found to be a felon.

Should be case closed, except for all his followers who whine "stolen election" and "lawfare" rather than admit they've been conned.

If you are actually a lawyer, you have got to be the stupidest one I have ever come across.

Yeah, juries are always right, President Trump got a fair hearing, there was no lawfare, etc,etc,etc. You are so clueless.

The following is a case of lawfare against a conservative.

Meme maker Douglass Mackey's conviction unanimously THROWN OUT by appellate court

Quote:
Douglass Mackey, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration over a meme, has seen his conviction tossed by the Second Circuit Court of appeals. Mackey broke the news on X, saying in all caps "Breaking: The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has thrown out my conviction for lack of evidence. The case has been remanded to the district court with orders to immediately dismiss."

"Praise God," Mackey added, who had been sentenced to 7 months in federal prison after his conviction. After his March 2023 conviction, the appellate court sided with Mackey that December and dropped the prison sentence until the appeal had been completed.

Mackey was prosecuted after sharing a meme during the 2016 election season that joked Hillary Clinton supporters should text in their vote. It was a joke, but Biden's Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland accused him of election interference.

Here is the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision REVERSING the jury's verdict.

Quote:
Accordingly, we REVERSE Mackey’s conviction and REMAND the case to the district court with instructions to enter a judgment of acquittal.

Mackey was charged, prosecuted and convicted by a jury in the Eastern District of New York. Totally unbiased prosecutors and jury in New York. Only an idiot would believe that. And only an idiot would also believe that President Trump got a fair trial and verdicts in NY.

Following is a example of lawfare against conservatives that even people from Oregon should understand:

Yeah, that's why I'm a multi-millionaire. I had a successful forty year practice: duh. Any lawyer who hasn't "made it" has some explaining to do; I mean, I had the proverbial license to steal...just like a doctor or a dentist.

Quote: Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
"For some reason, this Court sees fit to step in now and release the President’s wrecking ball at the outset of this litigation," she wrote. "In my view, this decision is not only truly unfortunate but also hubristic and senseless."

Now, is there *any* legal reasoning in there? Nope. Nothing but politics.

Just another example of why we should not put a person who does not even know the difference between a man and a woman on SCOTUS.
