The Gold Card is a residency permit, so unless rules change again Gold Card holders wouldn’t need visas so wouldn’t have to pay the new fee.
And I don’t think it’s that we want only rich tourists. It’s that we are treating all foreigners as criminals. If you think of it more like “every foreigner belongs in jail, but you can pay bail to get out” it makes more sense. You only get your “bail” refunded if you “behave”…
His early career arc is kind of bonkers. He was one of only a small handful of black law students at Yale, and graduated with honors. But he had trouble finding a job after graduation, because the racist mid-70’s law partners thought he only got his law degree because of affirmative action. He ended up blaming Yale for giving him a worthless degree, when he wouldn’t have gotten into Yale at all, no matter how talented he was, if it weren’t for affirmative action.
If he had blamed the systemic racism in the profession instead, we might have had a very different Clarence Thomas.
Deep down, I think this guy knows all those reasons are bullshit, too. But he uses them because he doesn’t want to publicly admit the real reason – he would never vote for anyone with a vagina.
Don’t worry, by the time the next election comes along he’ll be back in the GOP’s good graces, because there’s no way he’d vote for a liberal…
Neither did he
I think this is the longest post I’ve ever seen on Lemmy. I will get back to you tomorrow when I finish reading it
That’s the only way it’s gonna work, because no immigrant is going to trust this Administration at its word. These poor folks can do everything correctly, by the book, and Trump can still say “Sike! Off you go to CECOT”
He further found that the Constitution does not give the president the authority to “adopt an alternative immigration system, which supplants the statutes that Congress has enacted and the regulations that the responsible agencies have promulgated.”
Yet once this gets to the Supreme Court, they will argue that since the Founders never explicitly prevented the President from making his own alternative immigration system, surely it must be allowed!
Now she should apologize to Al Franken…
TACO Tuesday… On Monday!
I think AOC would make for a much better Presidential Candidate in 2036 or 2042, after a term or two in Chuck’s Senate seat. (Or maybe even as VP)
But, she is still a good candidate right now, and the next election will be crucial for the country. If 2028 AOC is the best option for Democrats, we should run with it. I would definitely sooner vote for her than the Next One Up for Democrats.
Do you mean expand in Utah? Or is the Utah National Guard about to invade Colorado?
No, you see, things are totally different now vs. when Miller’s ancestors emigrated here! It’s as different as black and white…
The Dem gerontocracy are literally shitting themselves because they are so fucking old that they need Depends
Yes, that’s the actual headline. Good to see the media picking up on it
Is the Pope American?
Maybe he can go and be President there
He doesn’t care, if he stays in power past Jan 2029 he won’t need votes to do it…
