All the farm owners are crying that you’re rounding up their cheap labour pool. What does the government do?

Provide free labour to said farm owners with unpaid immigration detainee labour. Make slavery great again!

I can't read hearts, but there was an ... interesting choice of words made during that quote, for sure ;)

Meanwhile, in other news, what do they say about clients who choose to represent themselves?

So, according to Trump, these 10-15yr workers on a farm, will be 'the responsibility' of the farmer/owner. They will pay taxes but won't get citizenship. They will never be able to travel outside of the US (and maybe even the state they work in or maybe even be allowed to leave the city/county they work in), they might not ever be able to leave working for that farmer/owner ever again, they won't be able to attend night school I'd assume to better themselves with the hopes of obtaining a better life for themselves because then their 'protector', the farmer/owner won't be able to shield them from ICE and deportation. Trump is looking to ban citizenship by birth, meaning any children born to one of these workers will not receive US citizenship and thus will be automatically be 'forced' to become a new labourer for the farmer/owner once they turn 16yrs old (of legal age to leave school and work fulltime).

Have I missed anything? Feels like the US has rolled back the clock to about 1750 and the time of Indentured Servants.

All this while owners of companies who employ undocumented workers seem to be strangely absent in any LEO roundups for breaking the rules - although I stand to be corrected ...

4 children who’s mother was an illegal, sounds like the mother made a poor choice. Having children doesn’t make you immune from US laws. Better they all go together than be separated.

ICE is doing a great job cleaning up the mess left behind by the previous administration. Americans voted for this.

The Americans have never been serious about illegal immigration. It been used as a political football for for at least the last 50 years.
If they wanted to stop it and prevent near slavery like working conditions. They would have been arresting and prosecuting Company CEOs and farm owners.
The reality is that America's dirty little secret is they like cheap labor, they need cheap labor.

I'm holding out for the pics of him: 1) Parting the Red Sea, 2) Walking on water, and finally, 3) Announcing that the US has found the Holy Grail.

Totally normal for POTUS to threaten to strip citizenship from someone who speaks against him. Not at all a constitutional crisis.

After months undermining Ukraine, Trump Admin Tries to Win Back Europe’s Canceled Arms Deals

In a new op-ed published in USA Today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio praises the Trump administration’s NATO strategy as a “historic” success, touting a sweeping agreement under which alliance members will raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. But behind the celebratory tone lies a clear...

Good luck, that's a whole lot of damage that I doubt is going to be fixable until long after the Trump admin is gone.

You know you’ve started past the tipping point when South Korea cancels its upcoming Apache attack helicopter contract and looking at domestic and European-sourced manned and unmanned solutions.

Seoul Scraps Purchase of Additional AH-64E Apache Attack Helicopters

South Korea will shift towards cheaper attack drones to cover the same tank busting roles, consistent with evolving trends in modern warfare. South Korea

I was in Belgium recently and the talk around NATO is universally (less the USA) about building the Alliance’s Euro-based capability. Frankly, I’d be surprised if more than a quarter of the future NAtO investment goes to America.

NATO summit 2025: Time to build a proper European pillar?

Neither an ‘EU-plus’ nor a ‘NATO-minus’ could fill all the gaps that would be left in European security if the US radically reduced its commitment to NATO.

America’s hegemony in Europe is dead. Americans just don’t know it yet.

This line right here:

Rubio may be right that NATO is spending more than ever. But his op-ed reveals something else: America is asking for trust again — after having spent the better part of a year proving it can’t be counted on.
