Is it a trend? I agree in a 2nd TACO idea!

[Dutch Uncle]

We definitely need all the workers we can attract. At first I thought that employers who hire undocumented ppl might be happy with this. But then it occurred to me that if they become citizens, they will be protected by OSHA, minimum wage laws, and other worker protections -- which will cost employers more. So will they support an amnesty program? Or would they prefer a situation where we pretend not to see undocumented workers?

Not a lawyer, but my understanding is that if they were here on a work visa, they'd be covered by "OSHA, minimum wage laws, and other worker protections".....which, IMO, is why they aren't. Congress, and their corporate overlords, don't want the system to change.

Someone told us that we needed them to wipe our asses... and it wasn't a republican... so... yeah. Folks here upset over the idea are also the ones that said it was needed or we'd never get strawberries picked. Bipartisan agreement, sometimes it sucks more than we want it to.

Trump Announces He's Working on Mass Amnesty Plan for Illegal Aliens After Passing 'Big Beautiful Bill'

I’ve been saying for decades the only way to solve the issue of so many undocumented people is to create an amnesty program.

Aha. Another "plan" he is "working on."

And some who should know better are going to sign on...to one tiny degree or another.

Jesus H. Christ!

We are finished. No need to stick a fork in us...we definitely are finished.

Now, we gotta just hope we manage to go down without a "blaze of glory" that finishes the rest of the planet with us.

I actually hope he gets some of it done, but with protections for these workers. We need a start toward amnesty.

Oh, enough with that "undocumented" garbage, they’re illegal aliens, slinking around like fugitives playing hide and seek. Trump’s tossing out employer sponsorships, but don’t start drooling, you lefty lemmings. Every one of these lawbreakers will be vetted so brutally it’d make your average Democrat’s brain short-circuit. No prior rap sheets, no space for your America-hating word vomit, and definitely no VIP pass for your fantasy voter bloc. This ain’t amnesty, you clueless drones, remember when Trump tried to cut a deal for the "Dreamers" if you’d just fund the wall? Oh right, you libtards torpedoed that because solving problems isn’t your thing. Your overlords don’t give a rat’s ass about illegals or you, they’re just power-hungry vampires. Sorry, but Trump’s olive branch isn’t here to soothe your fragile feels, and it won’t dent his support one iota. Keep dreaming if that's even possible for such miserable bitches, I'm not sure, I can't relate.

I'm sure you mean "to humanity." But perhaps you meant "to sanity."

Whichever.

Totally understandable. I doubt anyone here faults you (and more likely pities you) for it. . It is a defect I am sure you accept charitably.

Trump says there is no amnesty...

Methinks you jumped the gun.

From your link. First he discussed it, then he backtracked.

"Trump last week discussed a program that might offer workers the ability to get a permit to stay in the country, but on Tuesday he insisted there would be no amnesty for such workers when asked about remarks by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins."

 

[christiefan915]

A terrifying child with way too much power, like a deranged kid in a sci-fi story.

From the Twilight Zone. "It's a Good Life. On an isolated family farm in Peakesville, Ohio, young Anthony Fremont, who has vast mental powers but lacks emotional development, holds his terrified family and neighbors in thrall to his every juvenile wish."

His dementia is getting worse. He forgets what he says from one day to the next.

Great episode. Horrifying:

• Narrator: [Opening Narration] Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville. On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines - because they displeased him - and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages - just by using his mind. Now I'd like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio. This is Mr. Fremont. It's in his farmhouse that the monster resides. This is Mrs. Fremont. And this is Aunt Amy, who probably had more control over the monster in the beginning than almost anyone. But one day she forgot. She began to sing aloud. Now, the monster doesn't like singing, so his mind snapped at her, turned her into the smiling, vacant thing you're looking at now. She sings no more. And you'll note that the people in Peaksville, Ohio, have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield or change them into a grotesque, walking horror. This particular monster can read minds, you see. He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion. Oh yes, I did forget something, didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster. This is the monster. His name is Anthony Fremont. He's six years old, with a cute little-boy face and blue, guileless eyes. But when those eyes look at you, you'd better start thinking happy thoughts, because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge. This is the Twilight Zone.

Oh, sweet merciful cringe, Old Rossy the Biden stan, is this your pathetic attempt at schooling me? I’m dying here, doubled over from laughing at your feeble swing. Maybe get your nurse to read my comment to you, or better yet, keep flailing solo, it’s pure comedy gold watching a has-been who peaked with two whiny letters to the editor in the ‘90s, back when your Depends were still optional.

Oh, my bad, you bragged about jumping from those two Newsweek scribbles to 200 the last time the nurse let you near the computer post-tapioca slop. This reply screams you’re having one of Biden’s infamous “bad days,” huh? Come back when you’re on a “good day”, you know, when the diaper’s fresh, your brain’s briefly online, and you’re delusionally convinced you’re still relevant. Go on, school me, you pudding-stained relic.

However, Trump has also floated ideas that some interpreted as amnesty-like proposals. For instance, he discussed a program where undocumented farmworkers could receive permits to stay if their employers vouched for them, or a “touchback” program requiring workers to leave and reenter legally. These suggestions sparked backlash from MAGA supporters, with figures like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon warning against any policy resembling amnesty, prompting Trump and his administration to clarify that no amnesty was intended.axios.compolitico.comwashingtonpost.com

The administration has since emphasized solutions like streamlining the H-2A visa program and promoting an “all-American” workforce, including automation and redirecting Medicaid recipients to farm jobs, to address labor shortages without granting amnesty.politico.comlatimes.comfarmprogress.com

In summary, while Trump explored options to protect certain undocumented workers, he and his administration have consistently denied these constitute amnesty, maintaining a hardline stance against it due to pressure from his base.

Well, let me stop you right there, tiger. You're getting your information from @Grokmaster ? That's your problem, right there! You might as well listen to old recordings of Tokyo Rose.

I doubt you are even smiling, let alone laughing. That seems to be stuff beyond your abilities.

But here's some schooling: Continue to kid yourself. It may preserve whatever decent is still in you...tiny thought it may be.

Oh, my bad, you bragged about jumping from those two Newsweek scribbles to 200 the last time the nurse let you near the computer post-tapioca slop.

More schooling: This kind of thing is amateur...or adolescent. Neither bodes well for you. Best you cut it out...even if it leave you with nothing to say at all.

This reply screams you’re having one of Biden’s infamous “bad days,” huh?

No it doesn't, but if trite stuff like that helps you get through the day...go with it.

Come back when you’re on a “good day”, you know, when the diaper’s fresh, your brain’s briefly online, and you’re delusionally convinced you’re still relevant.

You can do better, Toby. Or at least you should be able to do better.

The schooling will help.

Go on, school me, you pudding-stained relic.

Already started.
