Lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. on behalf of some caravan members currently in Mexico... looks to me like the caravan is getting help from activists.

Are you willingly obtuse here Lad? Or are you just not that much in tune with the real world?

In this case activists are telling people how to circumvent or void the law. When a law is circumvented or voided (by whatever means) it is less enforced. The means and the result should be blindingly obvious. I guess not to you.

Relatedly, are we straight about your interesting new attempt to redefine 'defang'?

I don't get how my response is redefining the word "defang."

Perhaps by your redefinition that 'defanging' apparently required lawmakers? Or perhaps by your further requirement that it actually be 'Republican' lawmakers.

Quote:In the definition you provided, they provided a real-world example of the word and referenced the NRA's ability to "defang one of the law's provisions." And when they used it, they did so by lobbying to alter a portion of the law.

Amazing. Activists working to short circuit a law. How about that? By the way, defang isnt a synonym for new legislation. Hate to burst your bubble.

Quote:I've never once heard someone use the term "defang" to describe how people have gotten around a provision - it's meant to describe how a provision has lost its bite, i.e. been defanged.

I've heard it used in various ways. But all those are anecdotes so they really dont mean ****.

So, in my thirty five year+ professional career I *have* heard it used in that manner. In your much longer career you havent. Glad we have established that.

Quote:I'd agree with your use if you said that the Obama administration had, say, loosened asylum seeking requirements, and thus the enforcement was defanged. But your application to stating that people identifying a work around of a loophole that has always been there as having "defanged" the law is strange.

The use of a loophole to weaken other components works to defang those other components. Geezus.

So the concept of telling everyone to apply to for asylum, no matter the basis, does not defang the default. Got it.

Quote:That's why I kept assuming you were talking about law makers - you know the people who could actually change laws to remove its fangs. Regardless, if that's how you want to apply that word, then I'm glad you cleared it up for me. It's just an odd choice that caused some confusion.

Glad to teach you that there is more than one way to and more than one group able to 'defang' a provision of the law. You are literally the first person in my professional existence that hasnt clued into that (those) concepts.

Quote:Especially since the legal system is still being enforced -

Sure. For those dumbasses that dont know the short circuit magic words. Funny that.

Quote:all those who are being told how to enter the amnesty program

You mean the 'asylum process', right? Or are we entering another Lad-world redefinition here?

Quote:will still have to go through the entire process and will likely be rejected (based on recent acceptance percentages). So even there, not seeing how the amnesty law has been "defanged." Or am I missing an area where enforcement has decreased?

Please state where I am stating the 'amnesty law' (whatever the **** that is) has been defanged?

I am unequivocally stating that the asylum provisions are being misused to defang the default process with illegal immigrants which should apply to the *vast* majority of those claiming 'asylum'. The stock 'myna bird' recitations are being taught en masse to illegal immigrants in order to defang and/or short circuit the standard procedures. Why is that concept too hard for you to fathom?

You seem to be gleeful for that end result. I am completely aware of that. Color me shocked.

Sorry to get your panties all bunched up over the use of the word 'defang'. Good god.......

Tanq, I still don't get your point.

Even for those who would be lying to get asylum (my bad on mistyping amnesty yesterday), they still have to go through the asylum process. They will have to state their case and will likely be deported.

So I don't get how any part of that system has been defanged, because these immigrants can't get around the eventual ruling. All they can do is delay the inevitable.

And statistics show us that those who have a hearing set, end up showing up for that hearing on an overwhelming basis (far greater than 50% of the time). That appearance rate could go even higher, depending on how those asylum seekers are tracked.

People who are advocating that immigrants should knowingly lie and take advantage of our asylum process are bad actors. But since there is a process in place to handle those people (a review system and eventual deportation), I think the furor is overblown.

There's no doubt that there has been support and assistance for these caravans from multiple aid organizations/groups.

The question is whether the conspiracy theories that state they are being organized/funded by those orgs/groups (or the "globalists" as Trump calls them) have any truth to them.

Ah yes, the denial of asking if the caravans are being organized by some of the support groups...

I did a quick google search because I had not specifically looked into groups organizing these caravans (I've seen many references to groups helping and assisting the people). I found that a group called "Pueblo Sin Fronteras" has been helping to organize such caravans (not clear if all caravans) since 2008.

I gave you Pueblo sin Fronteras three days ago. I guess you don't read my links in your zeal to oppose me.

We can call it this or that, but you hit the nail on the head when you ask where their support, financial and other wise comes from. I doubt they exist in a vacuum. Maybe their funding goes back to this

Maybe it goes back to other groups. But who is on the side of more immigrants coming in? Democrats or Republicans? hard to imagine the funding is coming from Republicans. Maybe it is the Russians.

Using thr common sense I know you have, where do you think PSF gets its funding? The RNC? I suspect it is not the Koch brothers. But I cannot give you a link that says it is not the Koch brothers.

In any case, we should welcome every person from the south of us, as long as they say the magic word. After all, it only makes us richer. If 7,000 is a help, then 27,000,000 would be a great boon.

I get very tired of whitebread liberals who have never been closer to an illegal than passing them in the yard on the way into their mansion agitating for their wholesale inclusion. Especially when those whitebread liberals refuse to listen to people with first hand experience. I bet if these 7,000 were to be resettled in the area that some of these whitebread liberals live in (e.g., Austin, Fort Bend, or next to you, Lad), we would hear a loud chorus of NIMBY.

There are reasons there are locks on your doors, and there are reasons for immigration laws.

I think Lad is arguing now to argue.

"The demands of Pueblo Sin Fronteras echo the en vogue rhetoric over the past several months demanding voting rights and recognition of citizenship for persons illegally in the United States. This current reflexive argumentation mirrors the policies of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and is one of the tenets of the concept of Open Societies. As stated in the home page of Sovereign Nations, the concept of Open Societies differs from Sovereign Nations in that they favor a globalist model where the sovereignty of nations must be subordinated to international law and global institutions. In contrast, the United States was founded as a Sovereign Nation with the power and ability to govern itself without the interference of external influence.

I think the timing is suspect. had the mexicans not slowed them down at their southern border, they would arrive on or before election day.

And I think the Democrats want as many in the country as possible, not for immediate electoral aid, but for the voters they will produce who will come on line in 18-20 years. Maybe the Dems shoud stop touting the Hispanifacation of texas as an indicator of a future flip to blue.

But mainly, I just hate the characterizations of ALL the illegals as wondful people with noble intentions and high morals. Those are not the people I saw wading the river behind my office. I also detest the manipulation of illegals for political purposes. I think the Democrat's exploitation of these poor and desperate people is shameful.

I hate the people urging them to circumvent our laws, especially since most of them are either doing it for political gain or they are blindly supporting it.

But you go your way, I will go mine. In the past I have helped selected immigrants, in various ways. Oh, yeah, anecdotal, not worth a bunch of warm spit when compared to manipulated statistics. Sorry about that.

On November 6, we will finish the election, and this caravan will immediately diminish in size and reporting. Huh, funny that.

I'm no election law expert either, but that just doesn't pass the smell test for me.

Really? Smell test is that it's likely some field managers/operatives took it upon themselves to assist some immigrants with campaign funds. Or does $300 buy a lot of influence in El Paso?

What smells smelly about this?
