Trump Talks Immigration and Border Security

Filed under Donald Trump, Immigration, Open thread at October 8th, 2018 - 7:59 am

Trump Talks Immigration and Border Security tonight. And plans on hiring more Security Guard Services. Will he or won’t he declare an emergency? How badly will he destroy the Democrats?

The last government shutdown ended because Democrats stood firm against President Trump’s border wall. But funding will soon run out again, talks between Democrats and Republicans are in crisis, and Mr. Trump remains committed: “The Wall will get built one way or the other!” he tweeted on Saturday.

The Senate’s minority leader, Chuck Schumer, has made it clear that Mr. Trump won’t get his way: “Democrats are against the wall.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has admirably enforced party discipline, has called the wall “immoral.”

Yet at the same time, Ms. Pelosi has emphasized that “Democrats are committed to border security.” She has critiqued the wall on the narrow grounds that government should instead employ “evidence-based knowledge about how we best secure our border.” James Clyburn, the majority whip, fleshed out what that might look like: a “smart wall,” including more Border Patrol agents. This, too, is immoral.

It’s also bad politics.

Democrats should follow their voters, who increasingly want more open borders, and reframe the immigration debate by rejecting the very notion that the border needs more “security” and making it clear that the real problem is the denial of migrants’ rights. The time has come for the Democratic Party to push for concrete policies to make the border more open

    Regarding the threat to Michael Savage

    If a similar threat had been made against a liberal talk show host or a member of the left wing media, it’d (rightly) be front page news. I just hear crickets on the threat to Savage and the restaurant he patronizes.

    And I don’t usually listen to him.

    The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the fourth quarter of 2018 is 2.8 percent, up from 2.6 percent on January 3.

    The nowcasts of fourth-quarter real consumer spending growth and fourth-quarter real private fixed investment growth increased from 3.6 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively, to 3.8 percent and 2.8 percent, respectively, after the employment situation release by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.

    The Atlanta Fed’s revision comes just days after U.S. employers hired the most workers in 10 months in December while boosting wages, pointing to sustained strength in the economy that could ease fears of a sharp slowdown in growth.

    The upbeat employment report from the Labor Department on Friday stood in stark contrast with reports this week showing Chinese factory activity contracting for the first time in 19 months in December and weak manufacturing across much of Europe.

    Concerns about the U.S. economy heightened following surveys showing sharp declines in consumer confidence and manufacturing activity last month, which roiled financial markets. Both were seen as more red flags that the economic expansion, now in its ninth year and the second longest on record, is losing steam, Reuters explained.

    “The jump in payrolls in December would seem to make a mockery of market fears of an impending recession,” said Paul Ashworth, chief economist at Capital Economics in Toronto. “This employment report suggests the U.S. economy still has considerable forward momentum.”

    Nonfarm payrolls surged by 312,000 jobs last month, the largest gain since February, as employment at construction and leisure and hospitality locations snapped back after being restrained by unseasonably cold temperatures in November.

    Job gains were reported across all industries, with the exception of the information sector, which shed employment for the second straight month. Data for October and November were revised to show 58,000 more jobs added than previously reported.

    The economy created 2.6 million jobs last year compared to 2.2 million in 2017.

    Average hourly earnings rose 11 cents, or 0.4 percent, in December after gaining 0.2 percent in November. That lifted the annual increase in wages to 3.2 percent, matching October’s rise, which was the largest in 9-1/2 years.

    Wages advanced 3.1 percent on a year-on-year basis in November. Employers increased hours for workers, pushing the average workweek up to 34.5 hours from 34.4 hours in November.

    The unemployment rate increased to 3.9 percent from near a 49-year low of 3.7 percent in November as a strong labor market pulled some 419,00 jobless Americans from the sidelines. Fewer workers worked part-time for economic reasons in December.

    The labor force participation rate, or the proportion of working-age Americans who have a job or are looking for one, rose two-tenths of a percentage point to 63.1 percent, the highest level since September 2017.

    The strong employment report likely keeps the Federal Reserve on course to continue raising interest rates this year, deepening its rift with Wall Street and President Donald Trump, who has chastised the Fed and its chairman, Jerome Powell, repeatedly for the rate increases.

    The December jobs gain pushed total U.S. employment above 150 million jobs for the first time. The Labor Department has not been affected by the partial shutdown of the U.S. government and will continue to publish economic data complied by its statistics agency, the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    peeps dont hire if they dont have confidence.

Ever since the Bush funeral when said worthies got envelopes & Jeb looked shocked at what he saw when Laura Bush showed him the short message.

    David French argued that populism and “The Angry White Man” are the real enemies of prosperity and happiness: “We must not create a victim class of angry citizens. We must not tell them falsehoods about the power of governments or banks or elites over their personal destinies,” French warned.

    Which goes to show how dishonest THAT cohort is. Tucker was very clear that populism is not the answer, it is a symptom of things gone wrong.

    the disintegration of the family coupled with a rise in drug use, suicide rates and chronic unemployment in rural America is largely the result of not just antipathy but animus toward our working class brethren.

    yeah, that Kevin Williamson piece in NRO about how all those white, empty little towns DESERVED to die.

    Here’s yer global warming. From Armstrong:

    This winter is once again extremely brutal in Europe. Exceptionally heavy snow has fallen as far south as Greece in the range of even 3 to 5 feet in various places. This is the third year of extreme cold in Europe which has been fueling more resentment about global warming taxes. Once again, Europe has been thrown into economic chaos for much of the region is not able to cope with snow lacking the historical experience. In places like Germany, the jetstream exaggerations have cause exceptionally hot summers, though shorter in duration, where hotels and houses never bothered installing air conditioning. This is the typical pattern that is serious for it also precedes droughts.

    I’ve been saying that for years. The ;current state and conditions resemble many of pre-Bolshevik Russia — an elite who don’t care about the average citizen, burdensome regulations that choke the life out of he economy, and a two-tiered justice system.

    One big difference, the Russians were used to rule by monarchy so were more readily controlled by the statist Bolsheviks. The US citizen has grown up in an atmosphere of freedom that even the state-run indoctrination centers have not yet erased. That may be what saves us from totalitarianism

    So, incentives.

    Then they’ll go to this meeting with Trump and measure for the new curtains.

    Of ffs. AGAIN, DiFi??

    That’s why I’m proud to introduce the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019. This bill bans the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 military-style assault weapons by name.

    It also bans any assault weapon that accepts a detachable magazine and has one or more military characteristics including a pistol grip, a forward grip, a barrel shroud, a threaded barrel or a folding or telescoping stock.

    Yeah. My .22 bolt-action Ruger has a “detachable” magazine. Doesn’t make it an “assault rifle” or capable of mass destruction.

    so one would suspect that Trump already has the money in his pocket and he’s just waiting until the Dems think he’s got no way out to pull the trigger. I THINK he’ll declare an emergency and get it rolling before the 9th Circuito’ can write an injunction.

    I hear Lindsey and Jared are trying to offer them all sorts of things (DACA, etc.) and when they’ve said ‘no’ for the last time, Trump makes his move.

    Yes. I’ve seen people change as their salaries and perks got larger. Old longtime friend was getting 2 months off in the South of France to brush up on her French. If she wanted to travel on photo safari in Africa, she just looked up a Conference in the area and got plane, hotel, and expenses for the lion’s share. (I see what I did there)

    “detachable magazine”

    That’s a proper term. There are lots of guns (rifles and shotguns) that have internal magazines. For example, pump or semi-auto shotguns usually have a magazine tube below the barrel. Same with most lever action rifles. Lots of bolt action rifles have 4 or 5 round internal magazines.

    I went to Ireland for a visit, before eventually taking a gig there, back in 1999. After 20 years it is amazing what inflated property vaules and easy credit does to people –it is not the same country.

    Had an Irish mate doing UN tours in the Sinai and parts of Africa. He confirmed the UN soliders would black market materials and request more for personal gain. It isn’t like there was any accountability.

    Great cricket series.

    It certainly was. The Indians never looked like losing and the baggy green hats looked a shadow of their former selves. Even their sledging sounded puerile. India had the odd poor periods of play when they temporarily lost the initiative but overall their cricket was worthy of their World Champion status.

    I’m wondering if Ruth Bader Ginsberg is part of Trump’s calculus. If he declares a nat’l emergency and it ends up at SCOTUS, he’s got a better chance if she’s no longer on the bench. Which would make it to his benefit to drag this out until she either gets back to court or hands in her resignation.

    just a thought

    As I remember it there was a fluttering of the Progressive Left’s ‘snowflakes’ as they tore their clothes and poured ashes in their heads at the thought of RBG giving yet another shot at a Trump appointee to the SCOTUS. It happened during the early days of the Kavinaugh hearings if my memory serves me correctly.
