His home companion care aides haven't told him to do that yet.   It's still oatmeal time.

Source?

And, if true, shouldn't we be still wearing masks and shutting down in those areas?

Honest question, what is your problem with illegal immigration.  Genuinely curious.

[4everwarriors]

you for illegal prostitution?  hows about illegal murder?  rape? not saying they're all the same except for the "illegal" part

[The Sultan]

I'm pretty sure that's not all.

So what if they simply just made it legal?  That anyone could come to the border and be a legal resident?

You would have no problem with it then right?

[4everwarriors]

The illegal part is enough to start and end the discussion. Unless, of course, you believe the nonsense that no person is illegal. Just as hate has no home here, love is love, kindness is everything, and obviously, science is real, hey?

I searched "increase covid on mexican border" and didn't find any news articles relevant on first 3 pages.

Can you share?

Edit: for those concerned about border crossing/immigrants, and you don't believe in isolationism, our country could do a much better job at how we treat latin american countries so as not to influence their residents to leave their home country

  it is legal, if you follow the rules...what's the matter with you guys??  always the contrarian when the answers are so obvious.  you might want to "circle back" on some of your stuff.  are you for legal or illegal wedgies?

Your analogy makes it sound like you aren't for immigration in any case. As I'm not sure anyone is "for" wedgies in any case

  well, yeah, CNN and MSNBC for example, won't have anything.  i'm obviously hesitant to put a link out there because ANY source i cite will be chit all over anyway. 

ok, here's one that might be acceptable-that took about 45 sec and it was the first one at top of duckduckgo search fyi-does that still count?

Did you read it?  Immigrants are only part of the problem. Oh...and it's legal immigration.

"Between October and March each year, as many as 40,000 "lechugeros," or lettuce people, toil in Yuma, whose mild temperatures and Colorado River-irrigated land make it the ideal spot to grow leafy vegetables.

Thousands commute daily from Mexico to the verdant fields that stretch into the distance, where the rust-colored Gila Mountains glisten. Guest workers stay in motels in town."

Thanks.

That article does paint immigrants as part of the problem alongside governor choices and snowbirds.

I think prostitution should be legal and regulated.  Sex work is work.

Murder obviously harms people so that is bad.

Rape obviously harms people so that is bad.

Is your belief that if something is labelled illegal then it is bad?

$923 billion in the bill is for direct relief to people to include the $1400 one time check, $400 bump up in weekly, unemployment checks, increase in child tax credit, earned income tax credit, expansion of affordable care act subsidies for two years, extended paid sick leave and employee retention credit, subsidize cobra coverage for laid off workers, and a few other things.

That all makes sense.  Which leaves about 1 trillion dollars worth of things that while important and deserve govt support, I believe they should be separated out and voted on as individual policy topics.

If you don't care about the debt/deficit, then why take the stance that things need to be pared down?

Debt and deficit doesn't have to be on top of the worry list to also expect/want the govt to act as fiscally responsible as possible.  Injecting another 2 trillion into the economy when it's not necessarily a need but rather a want with much of it brings inflation concerns etc.

Now WV is jumping in with both feet, yeehaww!!!
