a pony isn't an essential service...not dying from stuff that killed people in the 1500s is...at least in my opinion.

roads are an essential service...but yet roads cost money...so we have the govt do it via taxes.

if we do that with roads...why not healthcare?

Jesus...didn't know you were going to take that literally.

On paper I'm not opposed to a base universal coverage with a personal upgrade option.  My biggest hang up is having the government run it....we are already bogged down with bureaucratic checklists that detract from patient care now.  I can only imagine how bad it would be if they are in control across the board.

I simply answered sarcasm with sarcasm...I have stated I would prefer a hybrid here.

sad, that's one of the things I liked...

but really, healthcare should not be tied to a job, period.

I don't like the government telling it's people that they have to purchase something from a private company.  And no, it's not like auto insurance as you have the choice of not driving.

Getting back to the subject of deportation...

Timing of the new guidelines was poor considering the imminent talks with Mexico. There's a big problem with the plan to deport citizens of third countries back to Mexico if that is the border they've crossed. Mexico doesn't have to accept them. On NPR today they had a bit on the procedure for deporting Mexicans. Virtually none have documents. Mexican officials have to certify they are citizens and accept them. Mexico could simply stop being willing to do this. Both moves on the part of Mexico would leave us with a lot of detainees. Like I said earlier in the thread, time to build more detention capacity.

I own a vehicle likely worth more than everything you own combined and just flew first class (including a ticket for a 2 1/2 year old), round trip to Las Vegas and I'm not 35 yet. When you accomplish something outside of finishing a book, let me know. When's the last time you saw a 2 year old fly first class in their own seat? Don't tell me about elite.

Mexico really isn't the problem.  As @youngrebelfan40 pointed out, we have a net loss in immigration with Mexico.  The problem is the other Central American countries.  Mexico just gets all the shit because they're the ones who border the United States.

unaffordable healthcare is the exact same as no healthcare...it just lets the wealthy sleep well knowing 'they could have it if they would just worked a little harder'

Health care and health insurance are two different things.  It's important to know the difference

And at the moment, Mexico is detaining and deporting many of those people before they get to our border. Another thing Mexico could do is just stop that enforcement. The Trumpists seem to think we can make Mexico bend to our will. IMO they have a shock coming. The history between the two countries shows that when we give Mexico a chance to unite in antipathy to the US, they will definitely do so. Mexico may suffer, but so will we. And they're a lot more used to it than we are.

Mexico to the US:  "They're not ours - they have no documentation.  They're not coming here"

US to Mexico: "But... but... they crossed from your country and they have brown skin.  You have to take them."

Mexico to US:  "Go pound sand."

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears; it was their final, most essential command.

So Mexico is as racist, if not more racist than Trump.

Who woulda thunk it.

How does that follow?

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

So Mexico is willing to go full retard and cripple their own country just to "Stick it"  to "Trumpists."

Dangerous game to play. To say Mexico has any leverage is pretty reaching I'd think.

They don't want brown people in their country that is not the same nationality? Right?

 

It's a joke. I thought it was funny.

Yeah most other countries are racist as all get out.  But I think the premise is that the USA is better than that and as such always held higher ground. I guess that's no longer a given.

Nevada has the highest proportion of illegals in the country. Nearly 8% of our population were illegal immigrants and something like 70-75% of them were citizens of Mexico. They're over half the illegal immigiration nationally.

That's an estimate of up to 175,000 illegal immigrants from Mexico alone in Nevada

 

So while people from Central America and other places slip through the cracks, Mexico is still the main factor in it all. They do a good job on their southern border. A lot better than we do on ours.

It's not racist to want your borders secured and illegal immigration stopped. Mexico does a damn fine job of it.

I guess since they are the same skin color though that they can't really claim it being racist. Or bigoted. Or Xenophobe. Whatever the term is under those circumstances.

I think their ability to refuse to accept deportees gives them a lot of leverage. What are we going to do with them?

They control both houses. They don't need the Dems to pass a law. But they won't, because they can't legalize what they've demonized. 

They need dems to get past a filibuster and we both know it will take dems and republicans working together to pass it.

Dem's will have to ignore their racist tendencies and allow guest workers even though their union friends will be mad.

Why would you think this? How are we going to force Mexico to take back folks who don't have documents?

Send them directly back to their home country like we do with others.

It's not enough leverage to change the position. Majority of our illegal population is from Mexico. Especially in the southwest. Illegal immigrants from Mexico make up 70-90% of the illegal immigration in states in the midwest and west coast.
