US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Next step for companies unwilling to return manufacturing to the Fatherland should be Nationalization

Interesting revelation in the article about the Canadian who spent 2 weeks in ICE detention facilities...

The private companies contracted to aprehend illegals is paid per detention, one of the companies made over $560 million in 2024 and the other over $763 million...

My guess is that they have a minimum detention period before they can count them as an aprehension and paid which is why our Canadian was moved to various facilities while being kept in the dark before her realease...

The challenge removing illegals brings is that you are also removing a significant part of your economy ...All of that cheap labour is leaving the country and in its place Florida is tying to change child labour laws to allow 13 and 14 years to go to work...

Makes sense to me...get rid of non criminals who contribute more to the economy than many American citizens do creating a vacuum of low cost workers so they ask parents to send their children out to work in their place....

Yeahno, the poster in question was guilty of speaking on behalf others thusly...

"world leaders think/believe", "the business communities think/believe", and "the majority of Canadians think/believe".

My statement, on the other hand, was indisputably factual.

What... are you claiming there is not a ton of love out there for The Don? :wow:

Hell, I've noticed a few denizens of this forum constantly referring to him as a "cult leader".

Well alleged cult leaders are, by definition, beloved people Trikky Rikky!

So even some of his detractors acknowledge the love...

But yeahno, not a cult leader... more like one of those people folks either love or hate.

Yeah, tons of love and tons of hate out there for The Don.

(I was responding to a guy who inferred there is only hate)

(say, isn't THAT the guy you should be going after?)

GOOGLE IT. :wink:

The US really seems to try to emulate the old USSR.

Now they are detaining tourists with valid visas over social media posts that criticize the Trump administration or for other equally inane reasons. The border guards may demand you open your phone for them, and if the thought police don’t like what you have posted online they may detain or deport you. What happened to rule of law, freedom of speech, habeas corpus and personal integrity?

It’s just like when you visited the Soviet Union back in the day. Except, we didn’t have cell phones then.

More and more countries are issuing warnings to their citizens about visiting the US.
I never thought I’d see this. :|

Compare this to seemlessly crossing borders within Europe.

Here's an article about the Canadian who was detained and interviewed in the video you shared....

My guess is that the private companies hired to aprehend illegals have to hold them for a minimum period of time before they can bill the government which could explain the German's and our Canadiens experiences...

And for the private companies it's big buisness...

They can place Kristi Noem in the jail for a photo op, but they can't free an innocent man who's there due to a government mistake?

No, they'd rather continue flinging mud at the judge. This administration is pure evil and so is anyone who supports this.

So would you, if you were rounded up by Gestap… I mean ICE, and sent to that concentration camp.

And yes, it’s a concentration camp. Prisons are for people who have been convicted of crimes in a court of law.
When you just round up people based on ethnicity or political persuasion it’s known as a concentration camp.
