1 It might be an adjustment of numbers, they first said its ok its only a few hundred thousand, Biden and Kamala Harris only allowed in 900 thousand...then they admit it was above 1 million, next it was 2 million and then 5 Million then 7+ M Migrants Have Illegally Crossed US Border, finally they started to admit its 10 Million and then Trump says it could be as high as 25 Million or more
2There are parts of a border that are not secure, the Ocean its big, the Navy and Police cant be everywhere unlike what political people claim. Boats and fishermen smuggling stuff arrive in all the time, the Canada border is too big to police and is basically 'open'
Trucks and Cargo move from Mexico to Canada to Alaska and back to the USA moving across Canada and Mexico again...do you think every vehicle, every boat is checked?
3People overstay Visas, a Mexican, or Vietnam guy or Scottish guy or Hindu Indian or Balkan Russo Slavic type, an African on some Hurricane island or Iranian or Arab Muslim...they might come from a poor place back home...they might legally get a tourist Visa and say hello to their family or auntie or uncle, they take some tourist photos and then go on the run...when they time goes to fly home, they are 'gone' they cant be found, someone thinks they are working in some illegal black market outside of the system scam but they can not be found, no phone, no forwarding mail address, some friend heard they were seen at some club somewhere or took a bus or taxi to vist some guy but they have 'disappeared'.
4 The real Wall? even the more secure parts of the Mexico border has holes in a fence, areas with desert and dangerous wildlife that they dont fully build a 'Wall' and dont police because they assume its too difficult to cross but if someone was really determined they might find a an open part of a Wall or dig under or something
...however the Border is far more secure than the crazy period of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
5People are having babies? including the invader? Dont many illegals have kids, actually pregnant when crossing and women give birth after arriving? its still up to debate but normally it would be a child born to non-citizen parents in a country that has birthright citizenship "passport baby", has been used in Canada for children born or "birth tourism"...there is a process to getting official papers but 73% of children of illegal immigrants were eventually citizens

Hispanic voters are now learning a lesson. Until this year, many of them could brush off evidence of right-wing racism, including Trump’s tirades about Mexican rapists, as unlikely to affect their lives. Now they’re seeing friends and family grabbed on the street by masked government thugs. Many will never trust the right again.

Are Hispanics America’s New Jews?
https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/are-hispanics-americas-new-jews
So many voters turned to Trump, believing his promises that he would bring prices down to pre-Covid levels. They remembered the low inflation, low mortgage rates and full employment that prevailed on the eve of the pandemic and let themselves be persuaded that Trump would turn back the clock.
But, equally important, the 2024 Hispanic swing to the Republicans was also a function of what voters chose not to believe. Namely, many Hispanics chose not to believe warnings that a second Trump administration would be an era of racial profiling and mass deportations, of Hispanic communities terrorized by ICE agents.
After all, the reasoning went, that didn’t happen during Trump’s first term. So many Hispanic voters brushed aside dire warnings from Democrats that an emboldened Trump II would be very different.
But as Tuesday’s results showed, they know now. As G. Elliott Morris puts it,
the best explanation for 2025 is that voters didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 last November, but now they do — and they don’t like it.
They know now that Trump’s promise to lower prices was just another scam, that his tariffs and deportations have in fact driven prices higher. Moreover, the continual insistence by Trump and his minions that the economy is great and that prices are down adds insult to injury -- an attempt to gaslight them into disbelieving their own eyes.
For Hispanic voters, even worse is the devastating discovery that everything Democrats warned would happen to them under Trump II is happening. Suddenly, America has become a place where it’s not safe to have brown skin or speak Spanish with your family, even if you’re a citizen.

Tech Billionaire Marc Andreessen Bet Big on Trump. Trump is paying him back.
The Trump administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been good for venture capitalists like Andreessen, who previously accused the agency of “terrorizing” fintech startups and crypto companies.

All investigations into Andreessen-backed companies have been halted. Among those frozen: inquiries into the popular cash advance app EarnIn and Point Digital Finance, one of the country’s largest providers of so-called alternative mortgages. For billionaires wishing to own the financial system free from regulation, the new approach is a boon.

Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It
A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier. ("the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.")

-and-lying
A recent report from ProPublica documents the detentions of some 170 American citizens by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during its anti-immigration operations. But the implications of the report go considerably further, suggesting an agency completely out of control and flouting the Fourth Amendment at every turn.
The report is a harrowing demonstration of ICE overreach. It puts the lie to the declaration of the Department of Homeland Security spokesperson that “we don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.” The facts on the ground tell a very different tale.
ProPublica’s report chronicled a series of ICE arrests that would be hard to believe if they weren’t backed by official complaints and eyewitnesses. In one, masked agents pointed a gun at, pepper-sprayed, and punched a young man whose only offense was filming them as they searched for his relative. In another, they tackled a 79-year-old car-wash owner, pressing their knees into his neck and back. The man, who had just undergone heart surgery, was left with broken ribs and was denied medical attention for 12 hours. In a third case, agents handcuffed a woman on her way to work and held her for more than two days—without any contact with the outside world.

rrested-detained-against-will
All Americans, even those for whom immigrants are instinctively “other,” should be disgusted by these abominations, which make clear that there is no foolproof protection for anyone, Americans included, from ICE’s rabid tactics.
The report documents two categories of concern. As ProPublica notes, about 130 of the total number were arrested for allegedly assaulting officers. Many of these allegedly were overblown: ProPublica notes that they produced a “handful” of guilty pleas to misdemeanors. At least 50 of those cases were tossed, or charges were never filed.
So they give rise to questions about whether ICE is abusing its power to arrest law-abiding protesters, like the man who was pepper-sprayed for the “crime” of videoing agents. Protesters can be raucous, but raucousness is not a crime.
It is the other category of detained Americans, at least 50, that presents a graver indictment of ICE. Consider that nothing sets apart these relatively few American victims of ICE from the tens of thousands of people the agents scrutinize. Nor do the agents know their nationality when they confront them. So what we’re seeing in the ProPublica report is very likely ICE’s general M.O. And a series of lawsuits on behalf of noncitizens alleges exactly that.
When agents encounter strangers, the Fourth Amendment imposes three core limitations:
1. If, and only if, agents have particularized suspicion that a person may be guilty of a crime, they can stop the person (make a “Terry stop”) and pose a brief series of questions to dispel or confirm their suspicions. This is the basic dividing line that border czar Tom Homan and others in the administration say the agents are following in nearly every case.
2. If, and only if, agents have developed probable cause that a person is guilty of a crime, they can arrest them—restrain their physical movements. That includes, of course, Americans or anyone else who assaults law enforcement.
3. At all times, including during arrests, agents may not employ force that is unreasonabl

Economists at the bank said consumers in the U.S. paid 50% to 70% of the cost of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and may continue to do so.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that foreign countries, not Americans, pay the tariffs. For example, he has stated, "That is a tax on another country". Yesterday, Trump said the opposite, telling everyone who would listen to shut the fuck up about tariffs.

What inflation? What are you talking about?
Prices haven't risen much if at all since Trump was elected. They're still high from all of Joe Biden*'s inflation that you ignored for 4 years.

Trump Team Now Claims Its Trillions in Tariff Revenue Are ‘Incidental’
For months, President Donald Trump and his top advisers described tariffs as an economic cure-all, one that would bring in revenue to pay down the national debt, offset tax cuts, support struggling farmers and even provide dividend checks to Americans.
But when the White House’s solicitor general, D. John Sauer, defended Trump’s expansive use of tariffs before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, he expressed a much different view. Despite all the public justifications of the tariffs, Sauer suggested that they were not really about the money at all.
“These are regulatory tariffs,” Sauer said. “They are not revenue-raising tariffs. The fact that they raise revenue is only incidental.”
That sudden admission that revenue is secondary represented a sharp reversal for an administration that has repeatedly justified the tariffs as a mechanism for making America rich again.
“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” Trump said in a social media post in April, weeks after unveiling his so-called reciprocal tariffs on most countries around the world. “It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!!”
As the Trump administration pushed Congress to pass more than $4 trillion in tax cuts over the spring and summer, White House officials made the case that revenue from Trump’s tariffs would offset the cost of the legislation, and they assailed the Congressional Budget Office for failing to account for the import duties.
“Had the CBO conducted an intellectually honest dynamic analysis AND accurately accounted for the Trump tariffs, it would have forecast a massive multitrillion-dollar surplus,” Peter Navarro, the White House trade adviser, wrote in an essay for Fox News in July.
Perhaps the biggest proponent of tariffs as a generator of revenue for the federal government has been Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
At a White House Cabinet meeting in August, Bessent said he expected that annual tariff revenue could top $500 billion and potentially even go higher.
“So I think we could be on our way, well over half a trillion, maybe towards a trillion-dollar number,” Bessent said. “This administration, your administration, has made a meaningful dent in the budget deficit.”
The Treasury secretary posted a chart on the social platform X in August touting surging tariff income as a “stable, growing source of federal revenue.”
