Trump certainly knows the immigration status of the 64 new members of his Mar a Lago staff, for whom he was granted H2B visa last October. He still hires foreign workers, for jobs he claims he can't find Americans for. Yet since 2010, nearly 300 U.S. residents applied or were referred for jobs as waiters, waitresses, cooks and housekeepers there, but only 17 were hired.
Over the same time period, 500 visas for foreign workers were filed at Mar-a-Lago.
In Palm Beach County, Tom Veenstra, senior director of support services at CareerSource, a job placement service, took issue with Mr. Trump’s contention that he could not staff his clubs with locals. “We have hundreds of qualified applicants for jobs like those,” he said.
After a report by Reuters in July about Mr. Trump’s use of guest workers, executives from Mar-a-Lago met with recruiters from Mr. Veenstra’s agency, promising to request local workers for 50 positions.
But Mar-a-Lago sent over just a single job request, for a banquet server. Mr. Veenstra said CareerSource referred four applicants to the club, and one of them got the job.
Since then, Mr. Veenstra said, “we haven’t received any other job orders.”

IMHO that sums him up to a 'T'. He doesnt give a shit about the supporters. His ego was really hurt when he realised that Hillary actually got more votes than him and therefore the 'popular vote'. He is still playing make believe and trying to convince himself that he is more popular. Poor deluded narcissist.

Ok..... Let me see if I can clarify this for you.
When your doctor snaps on a glove, lubes up his fingers, shoves one up your behind and checks your prostate, that's healthcare.
When you're all done and cleaned up, except for the KY that never seems to stop leaking out of your violated posterior, you go to the front desk and the lady says the bill is $85.00 but your co-pay is only $10.00. That's health care insurance.
Glad I could help.

You know, we can really stop debating this anytime now. the way things are going, in about another month, there's not going to be a lot to support. guy just seems to be hell bent on proving all his detractors right.
Quote by Seax
The ability to shape the terminology of a debate is the ability to control the debate itself to a certain degree. And that's why people say "pro life" instead of "pro abortion", "gun safety" instead of "gun control".
And so it's important to keep in the front of our brains the fact that "The Affordable Care Act" (Obamacare) was not about healthcare, it was not about access to healthcare, it was about who paid for the healthcare accessed and how.
The Affordable Care Act was about healthcare insurance. So let's keep the discussion focused on that, shall we?

Quote by patokl
For any person, businessman or not, who seriously believes, that work in America should lead to jobs for Americans, the composition of the workforce they'd be hiring by giving a contract, would be an important selection criterium. If Trump wasn't aware he was indirectly hiring foreign labourers, then he obviously didn't care about it then. The fact, that he still actively hires foreign labourers, in spite of the availability of qualified Americans, shows, that he still doesn't care. His statements about it obviously do not reflect his true feelings about it, they are only meant to gather votes and support, to get to and stay in the White House. All he wants to boost, are his power, his wealth, and his enormous ego, the rest is instrumental.
Quote by amy1967
Sweetie? I think that patronizing and condescending way you talk to people who don't share your narrow view of the world pretty much sums up why no one takes you seriously. I have so much more faith in App's generation than I do in mine. Mine is the generation that's made a mess of things and handed the keys to the White House to a raving lunatic. It'll be her generation that comes in 4 or 8 years from now and rebuilds the political, social and economic infrastructure that's being torn down right now. I don't envy the task they face. The way things are going, it's going to be a fucking mess.
Quote by patokl
Where did I mention Obamacare? Of course it isn't perfect. If it were, America would not score so low in the ratings of health care quality and life expectancy. But at least Obama tried to make things better, Trump only promised to tear things down.
If Trump wants America great again (apparently he doesn't believe it's a great nation), he should start by making America healthy first.
"Availability of Medical Care" would be reference to Obamacare
Quote by apptobebadPoint being your stats are from private research, a good reference not factual . These "research projects" are designed to reflect the beliefs of certain special interest groups, not the interest of the general public. Therefore, the facts are skewed. AS I said before Ruthis, You and I and several others could apply for funding to conduct research, granted funds and begin. Each of us, could if we so desired, include fact we wanted and conveniently ignore those that contest our perception. let me return the condescension. I hope I put this so you understand.......
oh dear..![]()
Let me see if I can explain this so that you will understand.
You are absolutely right!! All those shootings of one American by another American count as one American being shot by another American. Well done.
Now, to say the facts are skewed, with no evidence to back it up really is a pretty poor argument..or one could say it is just your preconceived belief.

Quote by patokl
Excellently copied and pasted. But it says nothing about the correlation between crime rate and immigration.
What you and most people, reading these statistics do not realise, is that unlike native-born people, immigrants who come in contact with the criminal justice system, for instance because of a misdemeanor, are very likely to end up incarcerated for an undetermined period, before being deported and barred from returning. The ones who are rounded up by ICE are also incarcerated, until they can be deported. When you subtract those numbers from your statistics, they change significantly.
In fact, more than a century of studies have confirmed that immigrants are less likely to commit serious crimes or be behind bars than the native-born, and that high rates of immigration are associated with lower rates of violent crime and property crime. This holds true for both legal immigrants and the unauthorized, regardless of their country of origin or level of education. In other words, the overwhelming majority of immigrants are not “criminals” by any commonly accepted definition of the term.
(Yes, I've copied and pasted some too)

Quote by amy1967The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons in fiscal year 2010 was about 55,000, and the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails was about 296,000 in fiscal year 2009 (the most recent data available), and the majority were from Mexico. The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons increased about 7 percent from about 51,000 in fiscal year 2005 while the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails increased about 35 percent from about 220,000 in fiscal year 2003. The time period covered by these data vary because they reflect updates since GAO last reported on these issues in 2005. Specifically, in 2005, GAO reported that the percentage of criminal aliens in federal prisons was about 27 percent of the total inmate population from 2001 through 2004.
President Trump introduces Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement office created out of the Department of Homeland Security.
Now if that isn't a chapter out of the Nazi playbook, I don't know what is. Well, there's demonizing the free "lying" press, putting cronies and Generals in high government positions, massive buildup of the military industrial complex, scapegoating the ills of society on minorities, the stated intention to beef up law and order to battle a non-existent rise in crime. But aside from all that, no fascism here.
Victims of Immigration Crime. Wow. Of course if he wanted to create a burueacracy dedicated to the victims of crime and help the most people, it'd be called the Victims of American on American Crime. But that's not Nazi enough, so let's put all in eggs in the "brown people are the root of all problems" basket instead. It feeds the racist Trump base and demonizes immigrants and, in his mind, legitimizes the trampling of the Constitution in the name of border security.
I've felt it for sometime, but I can safely say that as of right now, I'm horribly ashamed of my country and what's become of it in only 1 short month. I feel like crying.
But I won't cry. I will, with every fiber of my being, Resist!
Oh, and just in case you're curious about how dangerous outsiders are vs. our own domestic good old fashioned American on American crime:
Quote by patokl
Bring back some military strength? America's military strength ranks highest in the world. http://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.asp. Your nation has enough fire-power, to annihilate the population of the entire planet. Do you still need more?
In contrast to that, America is not even near the top 25 when it comes to the quality and availability of medical care for it's own people. It ranks 37th on the list of the WHO http://www.who.int/healthinfo/paper30.pdf, and only 50th in Bloomberg's life expectancy index http://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iNK1THx4aD20/v3/-1x-1.png.
If your president elect could bring some serious strength to your health care system, that would be a real improvement. So far, he doesn't even have a hint of a plan, other than to tear down the current system.

[/quoteGovernment statistics show that, except for some small blips, serious crime has decreased almost every year from 1994 through 2013. For over a decade Gallup has found that the majority of Americans polled believe crime is up, contrary to the fact that crime rates have plummeted in almost every small and large city since the 1990s. This is not to say that all cities and areas are experiencing decreases in violent crime year after year, but the overall rate of violent crime is significantly lower than historic levels.Brookings. The same trend is evident in the realm of “gun crime.” Per a Pew analysis of DOJ

I don't have crazy wild fantasies, more so I just want to experience that kind of sex that blows your mind. Looking in the eyes of someone you love more than you ever thought possible while at the same time you see that raw, lustful animal desire in his eyes. Him taking you, strong, sensual, dominate, rough, loving.
I want to be completely cherished and completely used.
