>Chief among these civil penalties is deportation or removal, where an unlawful resident may be detained and removed from the country.


The deportation part is the defensible part of the story. It is a lot more than "sending them home". What's going on is excessive. It's worth mentioning - the people being "deported" have something in common, and it's not necessarily their immigration status, it's overwhelmingly their ethnicity.

The Polish and eastern European community by me doesn't seem to be having any deportation issues, despite having a lot of illegal immigrants via visa overstay.


That's because they aren't the ones causing the biggest problems


Latinos are - statistically - causing less problems than citizens.

In fact, they are propping up our economy. I had suspected you were posting in bad faith; now I know for sure. Our immigrant population - legal and not - solve more problems than they cause, and the numbers show that.

Thanks for putting the lie - explicitly, in your own words - to the idea this is about the law. You were fine with European illegal immigrants which cause similar amounts of issues (few) to Latinos. The difference is ethnicity. Full stop.


Indeed.

Being black and being accused of eating pets causes a great many problems.


"vibe coding" is easily my most hated thing I've become aware of recently.

Why is the government responsible for CVEs again?


Every now and then the government decides to fund things. Public schools, roads, police, firemen, GPS, NOAA, cybersecurity, government cheese, etc.


"the government" aka "We the people". It is in all our interest. This is like asking why the government is responsible for roads.


> This is like asking why the government is responsible for roads.

Thought experiment:

If roads were built by private companies, could a Government justify the expense maintaining a database of all the potholes?


Yes, as it would be a public good to everyone to be able to know where the potholes(that aren't profitable to fix for these private companies apparently) are so they can avoid them.

They might take a step back and realize that it would be more cost-effective to just own the roads, in which case your thought experiment ends where we are, because where we are was a place reasoned to(to an extent).


Doesn't the government use those software (private and open source) to handle private information of citizens and other sensitive information? And what about their contractors? That alone justifies maintaining such a database.


Pot holes do not enable fraud, ransom schemes, data breaches, denial of essential services to millions of people, and so on.


National (technological) security?


It's not. The CVE board members include representatives from CrowdStrike, Microsoft, Github Security, LP3, F5, Panasonic, NIST.

Everyone crying about "Oh no! This government institution is going away! Private companies would never do this! They would use it for financial gain!"

Um.... It's already run entirely by private entities via government money. It's the literal definition of a "Public Private Partnership." You know, that way the US government get away with doing a lot of shady stuff via non-government contracts who are totally not state actors /s.


Pure ridiculous conjecture.


That's because NPR is pure left wing propaganda, run by an ex-CIA spook who thinks the truth is inconvenient.


Bot comment? What would 'likewise' mean in response to a hyperlink?


Or he never returned to the hotel, just like Irving?


Going fishing in Canada, fishermen will just smack a walleye in the noggin with an oar, knocking it senseless, and throw it in the water a few yards from the boat. Eagles will just swoop down and grab it. Pretty interesting way to get up close an personal.


Because the last administration was almost entirely focused on pushing transgender lunacy and lying about covid vaccine efficacy.


I have mixed feelings on trans issues (dont think trans women should participate in women's sports, i do think parents should be able to choose medical treatment for thier trans kids, i think both those things merit a lot more research), however, the last admin was not pushing anything transgender. You fell for propaganda!

As for covid vax efficacy: there is lots of non government research showing its efficacy.

Your comment went 0 for 2.


When then "insiders" are transgender ideology peddling lunatics, then give me the outsider. I don't need needlessly flowery metaphors to say that.


What exactly is the transgender ideology and why is it so threatening to you and/or the country?
