Someone who arrives here seeking asylum isn’t here illegally under US law. The overwhelming majority of people who cross the US border without documentation turn themselves in at the earliest opportunity to request asylum. What would increasing the ICE and CBP budgets even do? There needs to be more funding for the courts to hear these cases quickly and for humane living conditions for these people with the burden shared among all states. Also the laws need to be changed to make it easier to obtain work visas so they can work above board


Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) 2023 budget is $8.5 billion. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) 2023 budget is over $24 billion. And the “money” being donated to Ukraine is almost entirely made up of outdated military equipment currently in storage. Every item sent is being replenished by US defense manufacturing for the US military. WTF y’all


Large engineering projects only enabled large scale settlement and large scale agriculture. But Native Americans lived in almost every ecological zone in North America prior to European colonization, including the deep south and the southwestern deserts


The United States was almost entirely uninhabitable when the colonists arrived, and through engineering made it into a place people happily live from coast to coast.

wtf


Canada has had their worst wildfire season ever this year and it’s not even over. Over 30 million acres have burned. In the northern parts of the country, the permafrost is melting and making the ground unsuitable for building


Republicans increased the deficit by more in 2017 than Democrats ever did, to the tune of a $1.5 trillion tax cut that was unpaid for



The Lord of the Rings score is certainly music, all she did was play the tin whistle theme from “The Shire.” Why do you find this so difficult to cope with that you have to post negative things about her?


That picture must be from last year, gas is averaging $3.70 in the US right now when it was almost $5.00 a year ago


What we have right here is a dude surfing Lemmy telling others that listening to music is a waste of time
