People can always grow their own veggies. I do it every year just like a lot of other people, no pesticides and tastes better than anything in the store.

JimmyBob, I don’t hate Israel and I don’t hate Jews and I certainly don’t hate you just because we disagree.Bullshit!!!!!!!!!!
JimmyBob and I are roughly the same age, come from the same generation and have experienced many of the same experiences. I respect him for that. We’re both too old to get into pissing matches just because we disagree about something over which neither of us has any say.Dan,
For perspective, could you quantify the amount of respect you are referring to on a scale of 1 to 10. I’d hate for your message to be obscured by the lack of this critical detail.
I’m pleased you’ve found a lifestyle that brings you so much pleasure.People can always grow their own veggies. I do it every year just like a lot of other people, no pesticides and tastes better than anything in the store.

Here are a few counter arguments to your TikTok guy. They’re all from free market conservative types, not the little lefties he thinks he’s arguing against.

TweetThe Editors of National Review, with appropriate harshness, slam Trump’s idiotic and harmful protectionism. Two slices: The White House is perpetuating the fiction that foreigners pay tariffs. We know from previous efforts that roughly the entire cost of the tax is passed on to American...cafehayek.com
Couldn’t agree with you more that illegal immigration needs to be stopped and should not be allowed. I’m not sure making life and trade harder on American citizens is the way to go about it. I do appreciate that you read one of the links at least to the point you could find something to trigger you into heart palpitations severe enough to make you stop.From your article:
Trump has indeed declared a national emergency at the border. But there is nothing “extraordinary” or “unusual” about either illegal migration or cross-border fentanyl smuggling. To the contrary, these phenomena are natural and longstanding consequences of severe immigration restrictions and the War on Drugs, which predictably create large black markets, and have done so for decades. Most fentanyl smuggling is actually done by US citizens crossing through legal ports of entry, which Canada and Mexico can’t do much about. Moreover, illegal border crossings were actually at a low level when Trump came into office.
Severe restrictions on immigration? WTF
Illegal border crossings actually at a low level when Trump came into office? Another WTF.
Canada has allowed and encouraged millions of people to immigrate into Canada since 2020. Unfortunately those people were not immigrating to Canada to stay in Canada, they were entering Canada to easily and illegally enter the US. Many of those immigrating to Canada and then illegally entering the US were brought in by smugglers who advertise illegal crossings on the internet, offering services such as visas, airfare, and border-jumping services with the full blessing of the Canadian government. You might ask how I know this, some of my step fathers family used some of these services to immigrate to Canada from Iran with the hopes of eventually being able to legally enter the US. In other words Dan the Canadian government is helping people illegally enter the US. Same with Mexico only worse. That has to stop and can not be allowed.
How do you stop illegal immigration if the countries that border your country are helping facilitate illegal immigration and refuse to do anything to stop it? The old way of our government bowing down to what amounts to extortion is no longer an option with our country damn near 40 trillion in debt and a couple of hundred trillion in future obligations. Trump tried telling these countries to do something about the illegal immigration, they played lip service to it hoping Trump was bluffing. Now they are about to find out he's serious and willing to accept a small amount of pain on our side while inflicting severe pain on their side. Leftist never learn until they experience the consequences of their policies, this is just another example. My hope is both Mexico and Canada will agree to help secure both borders and this can all be avoided but if they don't I'm more than willing to accept a little pain until they do. Nothing worth doing is ever easy nor void of sacrifice.Couldn’t agree with you more that illegal immigration needs to be stopped and should not be allowed.
