No, not everyone who thinks illegal immigration is illegal bows to the Cheeto Benito.
I do not see refugees as illegal immigrants, especially since they are seeking asylum - that is, seeking permission to stay.
Just as with all things, it's nuanced. I believe in stronger immigration enforcement, yet am okay with sanctuary cities - as long as they foot their own bill (with regards to the illegals), including for incarceration of criminals.
I know that Trump has deeply hypocritical views on legal immigration - especially given his family's history as relatively recent immigrants (his granddad was Bavarian). It's especially striking how it smacks of anti-Italian and anti-Irish rhetoric of the early 20th century.
I don't like the man, and I don't like how he has handled anything to do with immigration. However, bringing US border policy, and enforcement of it, in line with nearly every other country in the world? I don't see that as a bad thing.
I just could do without the nonsense about unfeasible walls, and the cheering idiots who think adding the National Guard to the Border Patrol means more shooting at border-crossers.
...You realize that it's still legal for people to immigrate to the US, right? They're just supposed to follow the rules and laws we have in place for it.
It's never been a great image for someone to say "I love your country, and I would be proud to be a law-abiding citizen- unless it's inconvenient."
The way I see it, if I have to pay the fee, I might as well use the service.
By making people pay the "pirate tax", they are actually turning the act into a transaction. Because if you've paid your fee, how can they claim you've stolen anything?
If dressing like a criminal is enough, then all those guys in blue uniforms are guilty of oh, so very much.
Because, forget association, quite a few departments with "bad apples" go so far as to suppress evidence and harass victims of "rogue" officers. Behavior that should be considered "accessory," not just "associate."
Does the guy renting his office space have the ability to find a different landlord? Because in Houston, your options for internet "landlords" are Comcast, who is trying to lower the ceiling (cap) in all the houses, and satellite, who keeps insisting that their RV is just the same as a stick-built house.
Then again, why don't we all just start using snail mail? It's only a little bit slower than dial-up.
Someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but the cycle has been like this:
1: Remove content that was previously included in a channel's, or set of channels', lineup(s).
2: Offer removed content as a "new" channel or service, for an increased fee (of course!)
.
3: Maim the "new" service by repeating steps 1 and 2 upon it, but don't reduce the fee.
4: Charge another, even higher, fee for the new "new" channel.
5: Repeat ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
Did I miss anything? Because this applies to a LOT of channels, not just ESPN.

Why, yes. You're absolutely right!
It's just day to day business that the HEAD OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH is considering violating the constitution, because he might look bad. Definitely nothing like him going after people for lèse-majesté.

Re: Re: Re: not surprising
When someone "graduates," they do not need to go to school any more. So there are less students.

The "loss of students" refers to the senior class graduating, not a shooting.

Outliers only stay outliers if they are statistically insignificant.
