    Open boarder policy.

    I am aware that Trump and Biden had different policies. I am not versed
    enough to say what all of the differences are, although I will say that
    some of the Trump policies were inhumane.

    The Energy policy

    Biden's Energy policy will be helpful, not harmful, to the country.

    The America Last policy

    What does that mean to you?

    His Globalist Economic Policies

    We live in a globalist world. Isolationist policies went by the boards
    more than 80 years ago.

    The fact that he doesn't recognize his 7th grandchild

    You had to stretch for the claim that that fact (if true) hurts the
    American economy.

    The America Last policy

    What does that mean to you?


    Trump's America First policies, that comes from the MAGA slogan... Everything he did was for the American citizens... Here's a simple one for you to get... Trump demanded that immigration be lawful where as Biden opened the border up and made it a free for all. I was watching the news the other day and there was a city counsel meeting, south side of Chicago, the residents there were complaining about not receiving any help from the local government. They had nothing but the illegals had new IPhones and luxury hotel rooms....

    If you don't get it... Trump made the American citizen his priority while allowing legal immigration.


    We live in a globalist world. Isolationist policies went by the boards more than 80 years ago.


    I don't know where you live... But America is a constitutional republic... The constitution limits what the government can do... and it's a country that should be run for and by the people...

    Meahwhile, some of that policy, while making us feel good about supposedly being "green," will continue to ruin the environment in other parts of the World, and at a more accelerated pace.

    But you've stopped short of saying that "some of the Biden policies are inhumane."

    Aren't some of Biden's policies inhumane also? Thousands of unaccompanied migrant children swarmed the Texas border during Biden's administration. To me, it's inhumane to allow children to be taken away from their parents. I'd rather be stuck in Mexico than have to go through what those parents are/were going through.

    The one that comes foremost to mind is his policy of separating families
    at the border. Although there is now a concentrated effort to reunite
    those families, there are still about 400 children who are not placed
    with their rightful family.

    His energy policy is not causing inflation. It is creating a lot of
    good jobs. It is helping to move towards America helping to combat the
    global warming that is so obviously evident to anyone who thinks to
    look at what is going on.

    True, and isolationism is not in the best interest of the American

    exports. Those tariffs cost the American people, not the Chinese.

    That sounds like speculation. Have you actually seen independent
    studies that make that claim?

    I would call it educated speculation. The appliances that meet their new standards will cost more as the low-end offerings, that those of low and
    fixed income can afford, will no longer be legal. EVs do and will continue
    to cost more as they require expensive batteries (with rare earth elements mined by near-slave and child labor). It does not take an economics or
    finance major to figure this stuff out.

    Meahwhile, some of that policy, while making us feel good about supposedly being "green," will continue to ruin the environment in
    other parts of the World, and at a more accelerated pace.

    Nor do I see how that statement can be logical. How is what we are
    doing going to ruin the environment elsewhere?

    A while back I posted an article about this. Obtaining the rare earth
    elements that are used in EV batteries (and also in cell phones) is not a
    clean industry.

    I will repost the article with this thread subject. It was more about
    the child labor, IIRC, but it also includes info on the environmental impacts.

    Specifically:

    The electronic vehicle discussion is "meant to be a green choice in pursuit of climate sustainability goals. Yet it's utterly destructive to the environment of the Congo. Our green energy transition -- migrating from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles -- is built, in large part, from the battery pack standpoint, on the utter destruction of the environment of the Congo. Millions of trees have been clear-cut. Foreign mining companies dump all the toxic effluence from their processing facilities into the water, into the air, the dirt. Everything is polluted."

    I can see that since some other countries don't do what they should,
    then their environment and ours will suffer.

    If the did what they should, the cost of labor and the end product would skyrocket. I do believe they should be doing what they should, and our government should not be trying to mandate us into poverty. Such mandates
    are what lead to the use of child labor and poor environmental practices elsewhere.

    REPOST: Your iPhone Was Built With Child Labor

    SOURCE: The Free Press

    "Congo has three-quarters of the world's cobalt, as well as monopolies on coltan and tungsten -- which are vital for batteries and circuits, and enable devices to vibrate. Without all three, there wouldn't be electric vehicles
    or smartphones. Big customers include, no surprise, Tesla and Apple. The
    open secret, I learned, is that mining relies on child labor. You don't
    need to buy a blood diamond to exploit some of the world's poorest and
    most vulnerable children -- just an iPhone."

    Or an electric vehicle, which may cost you a lot more than a diamond.

    "It's impossible to appreciate the steep price of the green revolution until you're there. The irony of our hunger for save-the-world renewables means destroying the fragile environments we never see -- and condemning generations of kids to this new slavery."

    The electronic vehicle discussion is "meant to be a green choice in pursuit of climate sustainability goals. Yet it's utterly destructive to the environment of the Congo. Our green energy transition -- migrating from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles -- is built, in large part, from the battery pack standpoint, on the utter destruction of the environment of the Congo. Millions of trees have been clear-cut. Foreign mining companies dump all the toxic effluence from their processing facilities into the water, into the air, the dirt. Everything is polluted."

    The interviewee goes on to mention that many companies claim that they are
    not using child-labor cobalt in their phones but, as nearly 75% of global cobalt is mined in the Congo, that is a dubious claim.

    IMHO, it is akin to claiming after the fact that the punishment for drunk driving is too harsh after one gets caught doing it and one knew the

    Drinking the Kool-Aide I see... The separating the "Children" thing was an Obama era thing... Here's a simple explanation.... Lets say you are committing crimes... Drinking and driving.... police pull you over and it is found you are ephin LOADED and should not be driving... The first thing the police will do is take your children away... It's not a good idea to commit crimes while you are with your babies.

    When Trump separated the children he was doing DNA testing... and what they were finding was that there were sometimes no genetic ties to these young people... They were using the kids just to get into the country... later to either discard the child or later expose them into the sex trafficking world.

    Under Biden there are ~89,000 children they cannot find or explain where they are... They are not lost... just out there facilitating the Elites and Democratic donors...


    True, and isolationism is not in the best interest of the American
    people. Example: look at the tariffs that Trump imposed on Chinese exports. Those tariffs cost the American people, not the Chinese.


    Not true... he used those tariffs to help the farmers... Under Trump, the US economy was never better... for all sectors of the economy... It was a bottom up economic boom that was felt by the workers before the companies...

    Stepped behind closed doors, and made a deal.

    Nor do I see how that statement can be logical. How is what we are
    doing going to ruin the environment elsewhere?

    Why does it matter, as it is both unsupported and unsubstantiated?

    I can see that since some other countries don't do what they should,
    then their environment and ours will suffer.

    Some countries are not able to do what this country is capable
    of doing. So how or why should they be blamed? Whose fault is it
    that the world is in this predicament? Which countries use the
    most coal, and why are they forced to do so rather than use
    cleaner alternatives? At some point fossil fuels are not going
    to be able to fuel the needs of this planet, assuming enough
    of the population still exists to keep civilization going.

    Only 400 out of 89,000? That's not great news. How do you know that there's a "concentrated effort" to reunite them? How do you know that when police officers "reunite them with their families," that they're not inadvertantly "reuniting" them with sex traffickers? Are DNA tests being conducted? If so, then ok, that sounds like a "concentrated effort." But anything short of that seems unconcentrated.

    No offense, but that sounds like backwards and careless information to me.

    Shortly after Biden took office, the news began reporting caravan after

    It's inhumane to ignore these facts.

    Drinking the Kool-Aide I see... The separating the "Children" thing
    was an Obama era thing... Here's a simple explanation.... Lets say
    you are committing crimes... Drinking and driving....
    police pull you over and it is found you are ephin LOADED
    and should not be driving... The first thing the police
    will do is take your children away... It's not a good idea
    to commit crimes while you are with your babies.

    Except the thing wrong with your analogy is that the migrants are not
    guilty of a crime like what you suggest. They are looking for asylum,
    which is not a crime. According to his own words, Trump did the
    separation thing as a scare tactic.

    Under Biden there are ~89,000 children they cannot find or
    explain where they are... They are not lost... just out
    there facilitating the Elites and Democratic donors...

    I doubt that number. The numbers that I have seen are less than 1000.

    REPOST: Your iPhone Was Built With Child Labor

    "Congo has three-quarters of the world's cobalt, as well as monopolies
    on coltan and tungsten -- which are vital for batteries and circuits,
    and enable devices to vibrate. Without all three, there wouldn't be electric vehicles or smartphones. Big customers include, no surprise, Tesla and Apple. The open secret, I learned, is that mining relies on child labor. You don't need to buy a blood diamond to exploit some of
    the world's poorest and most vulnerable children -- just an iPhone."

    That is something that needs to be considered. Thanks for bringing that
    to our attention.

    I just hope this doesn't make anyone think that Google's Android phones are a re ethical choice, because although Google might not be putting
    children in mines, Google does other, more subtle evil things to children.

    Chances are android phones use the same elements in their batteries, too.

    As per international law asylum seekers must seek asylum in the first country they reach... U don't hop on a plane, fly 1/2 way around the world.. stop off somewhere in central America... walk through 3 or 4 other countries for a few thousand mines...to declare asylum in the US. International law says declare asylum in the first country you reach.

    The cartel, and other evil doers were collecting children who weren't theirs because they thought it was easier to enter with children. Once Trump requested DNA testing it because apparent that these adults were gaming the system and or were the groomers that were going to traffic these children.

    The cages and child separation started under Obama... Trump almost destroyed this child trafficking issue with the remain in Mexico and setting up access points in central America where people could apply for asylum there.


    I doubt that number. The numbers that I have seen are less than 1000.

    To which IB Joe replied...

    https://www.newsweek.com/under-joe-biden-undocumented-children-missing-1812728

    This is an interesting article. It fact checks the 85k number using, in
    part, an article from the NY Times (*not* the Post, and *not* the Washingon Times):

    "The Times report also included figures attributed to the Department of Health
    & Human Services (HHS) about monitoring checks carried out on all unaccompanied minors who'd been homed after entering the U.S.

    "This is where the 85,000 'missing' figure appears to have come from.

    "'While H.H.S. checks on all minors by calling them a month after they begin living with their sponsors, data obtained by The Times showed that over the last two years, the agency could not reach more than 85,000 children,' the article read.

    "'Overall, the agency lost immediate contact with a third of migrant children.'"

    The Newsweek article goes on to point out that the HHS appears to
    contradict this number, claiming to keep track of 80% of 235,093
    unaccompanied children that entered during a 2 year period.

    20% of 235,093 is just over 47k unaccounted for. Less than 85k but still
    not impressive.

    The article also points out that HHS "custodial authority" ends when the
    child is handed over to a sponsor, which makes keeping exact numbers
    difficult. It also points out that the word "missing" is misleading as the agency has only lost contact with the 20%.

    The conclusion I drew from the article is that both numbers (85k and 47k)
    could be correct, and the number could be higher. The children, while not technically "missing," are certainly unaccounted for by any government
    agency.

    The Elites need a steady feed of children to molest... sick bitches... Prince Andrew, an Epstein buddy... His mother wasn't buying his story and stripped him of some of his Royal rights... Apparently his brother, the new King, wants to kick him out of 30 room living quarters... All because of Andre's association with Epstein.

    Fun Fact... when I was a pup Prince Andrew went to a private school in a town I lived in... Lakefield College... I never met him, and if I had and we became friends... I would have told him not to exploit young girls like he did. I would have said that in a stern voice.

    There's a lack of data on where the kids came from, why they came, and why they're at the border without their parents, and why so many of them. It's also baffling why law enforcement doesn't seem to be punishing any of the "parents" for this.

    What is Biden doing to reconnect the children with their parents? Is he doing DNA checks or is he just handing those "good lookin kids" over to whomever claims them? Why doesn't he deter more of this from happening? Does he lick all their faces, or just the babies?

    That made me feel like they are trying, but also made me wonder why 20% of
    the ones they do check up on they are not able to make contact with.

    It happens. Usually those children are not necessarily taken, but could
    also be surrendered or purchased in their home countries. Then they wind
    up here being adopted. You sometimes see that on the news... people who
    adopt that route because there is less of a wait and/or it is less
    expensive.

    Because not all of these adoptions are above board, I would consider the children to be trafficked, even if they are not necessarily for criminal
    ends.

    On rare occassion, you will also see a story about a couple who adopts a "child" from one of these areas only to find out they are actually a small
    (and sometimes violent) young adult who gamed the system to get into the states.
