US bankruptcy filings surge in first half of 2023

I'm sorry you were raised to be xenophobic. It's not your fault, i blame your parents.

 

That is how it is supposed to work but in reality, it doesn't. There are many, many illegals working off the clock and being paid under the table. Business is just as dishonest if they can find cheap labor at slave wages.

 

yea, but that doesn't have anything to do with people who have work authorization.

The reason we don't do anything about people working illegally, is because it's not politically beneficial to go after all the US citizens who are hiring people illegally.

 

You mean my mother who was only one of six white people to be invited to a NAACP convention, in Detroit, when I was kid in high school. Maybe the parents that invited Sammy Davis Jr. to the house when he performed in the city. Or maybe the mother who was a Chief Shop Stewart and who fought for equal pay for woman of all colors. Then again maybe your talking about the parents that paid for the education of two gay fellows to become cosmology hairdressers. If you ever get a chance to see the movie "Aunty Mame" you will see how I was raised.

 

I will agree with you on those points. I have no qualms with legal immigration. We have a system. We have a thing called "rule of law," If you enter my country illegally then you have no respect for the people, the system and the rule of law.

 

Anyone who has a work authorization is complying with the laws.

 

You have lived through great economies. Certainly you can see that the current one is poor. Better but poor.

 

Who authorizes work by illegal aliens? You must mean the employers. It should be illegal to employ illegals.

 

No one with work authorization is here illegally.

This tangent started because someone was complaining about Chicago hiring people who only have work authorization to be police officers.

 

Who authorized it?

 

The federal government is the only entity that can grant work authorization.

 

Ah!. Government corruption to justify importing future voters. I see. It turns my stomach.

 

Could you identify the corruption you are referring to?

Is it corrupt to give people on TPS, DACA, or withholding of removal an EAD?

Or even people here who are pending a removal hearing?

 

Yes. Illegals must be turned around at the border and directed to a port of entry. The law demands it. I'm all for legal aliens, but not border crashers. Border crashers deserve nothing from federal government or anybody else. There is a right way to enter the U.S.

 

I'm sorry you have such a poor understanding of the immigration laws.

 

The law makes it illegal to enter the U.S. any place other than a port of entry. 19 U.S. Code § 1644a. read it for yourself. Apparently you haven't read it.

 

I'm sorry you have such a poor understanding of the Immigration law.

 

"Trump loves the poorly educated."

 

Thanks for reminding MAGA of that.

 

One of the reason we had inflation, because republican president and republican governors (26) shut down the country in 2020.

 

If Democrats had been in control, they would have been shut down harder. Because that is what should have happened.

Bringing this up as if it scores a point, doesn't make sense though.

 

Democrats were not in control , republican were. The POTUS in 2020 was Republican and 26 states had republican governor who shut down the country. As a result we have inflation. Biden was a privet citizen in 2020. Biden didn’t shut down anything.

Off course it make sense. one of the reason we have inflation is because non-productivity in 2020. Which was caused by POTUS and governor of the state. Majority Governors in 2020 were Republicans.

 

Did you support the lockdowns at the time? I did based on the information that was available at the time. I wished that some states had shut down harder.

So you can try to blame the Republicans for lockdowns, but it's not really going to score any points since things would have most likely been shut down harder if the Democrats had been in control.

So if you are truly blaming the lockdowns for inflation, the real point you are making is that we are lucky the democrats were not in control because they would have shut down harder, which apparently you are saying would have made inflation even worse.

 

If Democrats were in control like President Obama was during ‘swine flu” , we didn’t have to shut down the world because Obama or another Dems President would have sent CDC and worked with WHO and Chinese Government in December 2019 and contain the virus long before it became pandemic.

Incompetent trump in Jan 2020 was “ we have only one case, we have only two cases, virus will go away when weather is hot, it’s a China virus, it’s a hoax , it’s...... ” . f$$$ incompetent.

 

Swine flu wasn't anything like Covid.

We were going to shut down no matter who the president was. Let's not be silly.
