I’m in one of the whitest states in the nation and still managed to get an Uber driver named “Mohammed” playing Habbibi music or whatever on the way to my ferry.

There are simply way, WAY too many immigrants - both legal and illegal - in America.

FL DOT to re-open weigh stations, check Immigration Status

I can’t quite make out what’s being picked. Lettuce?

Not sure myself. Thought they may be artichokes.

Broccoli or cauliflower
At least I know artichokes plants that they grow a truck loads around from seeds from previous years dried artichoke flowers.

That machine is picking Broccoli.

Work smarter, not harder.

To be perfectly fair, the Trump administration did go a bit overboard by asking Uganda if they wanted him chunked on ice, or whole on the hoof.

Love how they put an appropriate soundtrack to this one.

I disagree. It's man, testosterone type shit to say stuff like that. Bring testosterone back.

America's most popular beer maker cuts fiscal outlook as Trump's immigration crackdown hits demand

Constellation Brands (STZ) stock fell 7% on Tuesday after the Modelo and Corona owner cut its fiscal year outlook and said in a statement that declines in high-end beer sales to Hispanic consumers "were more pronounced than general market declines."

That would indicate that sales of Fanta will fall as well.

U.S. authorities detained 475 people, mostly South Korean workers, in a large immigration raid Thursday at the Hyundai-LG electric vehicle battery plant in Ellabell, Georgia.

The raid formed part of President Trump's broader crackdown on undocumented immigrants and targeted violations of employment laws at the construction site.

South Korea, expressing concern, swiftly engaged through diplomats and officials including LG Energy Solution's HR chief, Kim Ki-soo, who prioritized the detainees’ prompt release.

On Sunday, the chief of staff to South Korea’s president announced that talks with the U.S. have ended, and once all administrative steps are completed, the detained workers will be flown back to South Korea on a chartered plane.

So they get a free ride back home. Pretty much a bonus for them.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by federal agents at an immigration court Tuesday after he linked arms with a person authorities were attempting to detain.

475 jobs that would be done by Americans. Crazy.

ICE slammed for ‘disgusting’ use of viral Jet2 Holiday sound

The Democrats have around 40-50 worth of fraudulent Congressional seats due to illegals.

760,000 people per seat.
40,000,000 illegals.

That’s what Anti-ICE is all about.

Power.

Around every 760,000 illegals deported the Democrats lose a seat.

It’s not about compassion.

Booger is entirely correct above.

Additionally, the slave masters all like the illegals and have lobbyists who talk to the politicians about the "need for workers."

Yes, and their bogus mantra is "Americans don't want those jobs."

Uh, at what wages? They don't want them at wages illegals would take.

Pay me enough, and I'll pick strawberries.

High school kids and students often use to take picking strawberries as a summer job. Now they stay bored and take drugs.

My mother picked strawberries as a summer job; later she worked as a chambermaid at a hotel in Nantucket, Massachusetts during the summer.

I did odd jobs for my neighbors particularly during the summer; one winter I recall going around ringing doorbells offering to shovel the snow from people's sidewalks.

Which means a whole lot of other ppl will have underbid me before I'd get around to actually sucking dick.

Yesterday, the New York Times caught up to a breaking story, running its tentative submission below the extremely understated headline, “Iowa Superintendent Arrested by ICE Loses State License and Is Placed on Unpaid Leave.” He was a DEI specialist, of course.

Until late last week, “Ian Andre Roberts,” if that is his real name (he’s from Guyana), was the superintendent of Iowa’s largest public school district since 2023. His salary was $300,000 per year (plus generous benefits like a $600/month car allowance). Corporate media described him as a “champion for racial equity.” He checked all the boxes.

Now, he’s in jail after attempting to flee. Which is especially funny since Roberts allegedly is also an Olympic sprinter. Now we know how he honed his running skills.

I suppose, technically speaking, “Dr.” Roberts is still the Des Moines superintendent. He’s not been fired. On Friday, the school board voted to put him on paid leave, reversing themselves yesterday at a “hastily scheduled” emergency meeting, wherein they swapped the fake superintendent’s status to unpaid— but only after massive pushback and the State of Iowa having promptly revoked his teacher’s license.

Social media lit up with outrage and astonishment as easily accessible facts emerged. Well, the facts were easy to find for everyone except Des Moines’ lazy school board members, who stubbornly continue to insist that they did their full due diligence when hiring Mr. Roberts in the first place.

Mr. Roberts is an illegal immigrant who’s been roaming the country at will since 1998. In that time, he’s acquired a driver’s license, an online degree, a social security number, a series of increasingly rewarding superintendent positions, several criminal convictions, at least two settlements for sexual misconduct, and oh, he has voted Democrat for nearly two decades.

Roberts had also successfully dodged an ICE removal order since it issued in May, 2024. (Removal orders are considered final following a 90-day appeal period.) In typical understated form, the Times noted that, “What happened with his immigration status in the intervening quarter-century remained unclear.” Nor was it clear “how, if he did not have work authorization, Dr. Roberts had managed to land jobs in Maryland, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.”

Des Moines students are planning a walkout today. Over the weekend, hundreds of Democrat protestors turned out at the ICE detention facility where Roberts is currently providing superintendent services to the other detainees. Democrats chanted “free Dr. Roberts!” and demanded his immediate release. It was unclear whether the protestors were Des Moines parents or even knew who Roberts was. “Free Dr. Roberts” t-shirts went on sale on Saturday, but supplies are limited.

A survey of BlueSky posts shows that the libs stopped yammering about Dr. Roberts two days ago, presumably because it was becoming increasingly clear the superintendent was a Guyanese con artist, and Democrats’ ability to claim he’s being deported “for no reason” faded away like Nigerian princes after the check clears.

Locals are questioning how, as an illegal with a checkered background, Mr. Roberts could have been hired for such a prominent position in the first place. Calls for the entire school board to resign have already begun. The Des Moines Register reported that Roberts’ attorneys are now seeking to reverse his 18-month-old removal order, but “immigration lawyers have said any immigrant arrested after a judge ordered him deported would have an extremely limited chance of remaining in the U.S. with weapons offenses alleged.”

While trying to flee ICE agents, Roberts was caught with a gun, a large knife, and $3,000 in cash. Illegals may not possess firearms.

Just how moronic is the Des Moines school board is a local issue. A much more important national question is how could Roberts have been illegally voting for so long? And how on Earth, as even the Times wondered, did he get a long string of jobs that all required intensive background checks? Don’t count on there being any good answers.

But the good —if not great— news is that, after 24 years of scamming taxpayers, Ian Andre Roberts is finally returning to Guyana. While I regret the wreckage this self-inflicted wound leaves behind in the district, I must admit: This is what I voted for. How about you?

Correct. I haven't seen any Scramjet SSOs or Maglevs or entirely new Scientific Systems brought in by Third World Immigrants. Unlike Railroads, Steam Engines, Theory of Bacteria, etc. that went abroad FROM the First World in the 19th and 20th Centuries.

I do see high value added jobs, trade secrets, and classified information being distributed back to the Third World FROM the First World via "Asian Family Values" (aka Nepotism) and back to the CCP.

Basically Americans were taxed to subsidize Cold War era Electronics and Computers and Telephony in the 1950s and 60s... only to give the peace dividend fruit of those jobs not to their sons, but to complete strangers from the Far Side of the World - who think this is a favor to those sons.

Meanwhile I see pre 1960s diesel and steam engines back among the people who claim they're helping us set up the technology we invented.
