Obviously it's "on average". Of course not every single person will be ranked by their IQ. I know a 5'3" guy who played in the NBA.

So nothing. Just anecdotes. At least you admit it.

>Mass deportations are being conducted mostly on the basis of race. Care to share your stats? This sounds like more of "I don't like this president, therefore what he's doing is wrong"

Being anti-crime doesn't mean lacking compassion. Crimes have victims, and reducing crime results in fewer of them. Poor people don't want to be victims any more than rich people do.

For an American startup/technology forum, this place is remarkably anti-America, anti-capitalism, anti-AI, anti-crypto.

If one country has labor protection and pollution regulations, and another country has near-slave labor and dumps chemicals into rivers, would you consider the former inferior? Unable to compete?

This is not accurate. The details were kept secret during negotiation which consisted of 2 Democrats (1 "Independent" who caucused D) and 1 Republican. When the text of the bill was released, it was widely disparaged by Republican

Republicans did not support that bill. A single Republican Senator negotiated it in secret. You guys mischaracterize this bill as some amazing thing that everyone was excited to pass until Trump told them not to. That isn't reality. Yo

Federal law also restricts illegal aliens from entering the US without authorization.

They're also not eligible to be living in the US, yet here we are.

Again, your post is utter pedantry and seemingly wrong. Why should I care about the number in August 2024? Why are you annualizing the 58k number? I'm referring to the current numbers at the border. > During Trump's first eight

Your pedantry is unnecessary. "Largely eliminated". I didn't say "completely eliminated". <9,000 per month can be considered "largely eliminated" when the previous flow was often many hundreds of thousa

Illegal aliens are shown to commit more crimes than citizens when time is given to determine immigration status. [1] > Studies purporting to show low illegal immigrant crime rates in Texas fail to account for the fact that illegal immigr

Simply incorrect. That study is yet another that fails to account for the fact that immigration status is not known immediately upon arrest. > Studies purporting to show low illegal immigrant crime rates in Texas fail to account for the

There is a huge difference between turning people away at the border and tallying a "deportation", and removing people from the interior of the US. The flow of illegal aliens crossing the border has largely been eliminated. [1] &g

Obstructing justice, and then refusing to comply / resisting arrest will lead to you being forcefully removed. This is in fact a valid reason.

Purposely moving your car in front of law enforcement officers' cars to prevent them from arresting a suspect is in fact obstruction. This is not "violence", but you will be arrested if you do this. If you resist arrest, you

There was slavery for tens of thousands of years. Just because something happened in the past, does not mean it must continue.

Are you saying there aren't millions of illegal aliens in the US? Time for a reality check. >The number of unauthorized immigrants in the United States reached an all-time high of 14 million in 2023 https://www.pewresearc

Being more strict about immigration law is not "cruel and disgusting".

The People elected the current executive to represent them. You are free to suspect anything you want - that doesn't make it true. Americans are tired of their country being abused.

The US is more than simply an "economic zone". It's not cruel to want to keep your country from changing irreversibly. Foreigners don't have a right to immigrate. Americans are allowed to decide who they want to let in.

The US already provides significant aid to those in poverty, especially children. We don't need to stifle innovation to reach some level of aid that bleeding hearts deem sufficient.
