    ASTROS123 says all of this is fine.


    DENVER (KDVR) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement say the truck driver accused of side-swiping five vehicles, killing one person and closing U.S. 285 for over 14 hours, had been told to leave the U.S. 16 times.

    The driver of the big rig first started having immigration issues back in 2002, according to an ICE spokesperson. Investigators say Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza should have never been driving and had been ordered to return to Mexico 16 times since 2002.

    I think if thoughts and prayers are good enough for kids in our schools then thoughts and prayers should be good enough to secure the border

    There's always going to be isolated incidents which also happened under trump. Biden has super funded police departments and passed a reasonable gun legislation law which has prevented guns from going to the wrong hands.

    Overall, violent crime is near multi decade lows.

    I thought it was Nook in September/october

    I have student loans. I was better off under Trump than Biden. I will be fine no matter who wins in November.

    You should sign up for the save plan so you no longer have to pay accured interest on your loans. Your payments will also be cut to 5% of disposable income over 40k.

    Let's just get it out of the way before you disappear again. I don't see the Joe campaign continuing much longer.

    I'm not disappearing anywhere nor have I ignored you. The bet is only valid if bidens name is on the ballot which you agreed to. If you think for some braindead reason that biden will drop out than the bet would be nullified anyways.

    We can send @Nook the money in September after both parties have had their conventions

    This has to be one of the dumber things you’ve said on this forum in the past I don’t know month or so?

    That is not what we agreed to. I just said that Biden would not win re-election. You said if he doesn't run then the bet is nullified. He is absolutely running at this point.

    The fear mongering thread should be merged with this one.

    The majority of voters support deporting illegal immigrants.

    I know I do, that’s why I’m still stunned the bipartisan immigration bill didn’t pass. I’m thinking they’ll push it thru during the lame duck session.

    No thanks, I'll just finish paying off the small amount I have remaining. I follow through on the agreements I have made and don't ask for the federal government to bail me out.

    I don't have a problem deporting illegals any more than I do keeping criminals behind bars. I do find it hypocritical though that people who came here illegally, or were born here from parents or grandparents who came illegally, now want to deport people just like them. It's like they want their cake but don't want anyone else to eat it too. One of those types is a frequent poster in here.
    Hypocrites!

    I'm not for closing the border completely though. I believe in giving opportunities for skilled hard working people to become citizens and help boost our economy. The farms, businesses, and families hiring those workers will just have to pay fair wages now, instead of skirting the laws and paying pennies under the table. They might have trouble replacing all those workers though, or will have to raise prices to pay legal wages to employees to stay afloat. I doubt there will be a ton of people wanting to do those jobs for low wages. Say goodbye to your local lawn workers.

    Hopefully it's not too late for grandparents to teach their sons how to plant crops, shingle a roof, build a house, lay tar on a road, pave a driveway, and put up a fence. Maybe more teenage boys will be taught how to start a lawnmower and use an edger and weed eater. Then they can get off their iPads and mow lawns in the neighborhood for some cash. :p
