The bridge that collapsed was in California....They have notorious infrastructure failures all over that state...The dam for the reservoir that holds water for the LA metro area almost collapsed/ failed a year or so ago too. That was probably on the national news...
-
I live about 2.5 hours away from California and drive there all the time. It doesnt make me an expert on their highways; I was only pointing out they are shit between Arizona and California. Last year due to such state of disrepair, they had a bridge on the interstate just completely collapse between here and there...But, if he wants to believe they are great, thats his perrogative...
-
What makes it a fact? The government says it, it must be true? If the government knew where all the illegal drugs came into the country, shouldn't they be way more effective at stopping it? I mean shit, they want you to believe the border is more secure than ever, more law enforcement than ever, etc...
-
Then how do you know shit about highways between Arizona and California? Those were the highways I was talking about...
-
Get out of California sometime...
-
Oh, I believe 90% of the drugs they "apprehend" come through a port of entry no argument their. The talking point that 90% of drugs come through the port of entries I dont believe.
-
Geez, read about El Chapo. He basically used slave labor to build a tunnel in the desert. He didnt smuggle through the ports of entry...
-
More bogus statistics from the government. Hey, im going to smuggle some heroine. Instead of taking it through one of the tunnels in the desert, im going to go to a legal port of entry where all the scanners and law enforcement and drug dogs are? I mean im sure it is happening, but do you really think 90% go through the port of entry? If you do, you are the idiot...
-
You think the FEDs are re-imbursing the states for everything related to illegal immigration and drug trafficking? The states have tried to sue the FEDs many times for millions of dollars related to it and they lose everytime because of the bogus federal laws. Or they get told that it doesnt need to go through the court system, it has to go through congress.
-
It's comparing Apples to Oranges. If you were going to smuggle anything illegal into the country that you had to drive up a major interstate would you do it in a sparsely populated state like Arizona or New Mexico with way less law enforcement or would you do it in a place densely populated like California or Texas?
-
Because immigration and the border is controlled by the FEDS? Try to make a law against illegal immigration at the state level and see how far you get..
-
Keep thinking it is just a desert. We Texans and Midwesterners that have moved out here like it when you think that way..
-
You truly are a genius, right? You know why Arizona is dependent on the FEDs? Because we have a massive illegal immigration and drug trafficking problem here....The same problem that the wonderful speaker of the house from California and Schumer from New York says is not too big of a deal...
-
No, that is not the argument. The argument is most Republicans I know would welcome the exit of California if they took their politics with them....Do you think there is any Republican in the country besides in California that would vote for Pelosi?
-
You are fortunate not to live next to California, believe me. They have a tendency to drive up the home prices in every state they move to, just because everything looks like such a great deal compared to California...
-
HA! You've evidently never been to Phoenix metro area for sure. We don't have graffiti on every open space on every wall with a pile of trash under it along the freeways, and the freeway is actually smooth and driveable and mostly uncongested...Manicured neighborhoods all over the city...
-
I live south of Phoenix...Casa Grande. San Diego is not that bad, youre right...L.A. is terrible though and the highways in California are all in terrible need of repair at least the 2 interstates from Arizona into California for sure...
-
I was mostly talking about the L.A. and Oakland area.
-
I live 5 hours from L.A. and San Diego on the interstate...Ive been there plenty...Last time I went to L.A. was about 1 month ago.
-
They'll need it to pay off the state's massive debt. Have you been there? Most of their major cities look like a landfill with roads running through it that can't near handle all the traffic...And, they say the red states are dead weight?
-
Why do you need a Civil War or Russia's help for that? California's exit would most definitely be favorable to most Republicans I know. The only condition would be to make sure everyone who has moved from their to a red state has to return to California first before this exit takes place...
-
Yes, I know all this. They make headway every few years and everyone is cheering at the parade. The next leadership comes, congress changes and we are back to square one. I've lived near the border most of my adult life. It is just like the economy, up and down. What I'm talking about is a permanent solution with different laws is what is needed. Im not a nutcase that believes a better Wall or barrier is a permanent fix all solution, but I do believe it could be one part of the solution...
-
Controlled as in the leaks in the Titanic were controlled? I have to laugh...Look, I am no racist at all. My best friend is a second generation Mexican American Citizen.. I love him and his entire family; including, his parents that came illegally. Im about as different from them as day and night, but I would do anything for them and they would do anything for me....I have nothing but total love and respect for them like my own family..And, no they are not my only friends of a different race....I have Asian friends that I travel to Vegas with to gamble, they are some great people as well. With that said, I still feel we need to fix our immigration system and we cant just keep passing the buck to the next generation because some politicians want votes or they want to keep the drug money flowing to their bank accounts, etc....
-
I guess it is a good thing for the shortsighted...What happens when the economy goes to shit again? That never happens, right? I got nothing against people coming here to better themselves, just wish it was controlled....
-
Do you believe the talking point that's all over the news that 90% of the illegal drugs come in through ports of entry? It's stories like that why I dont trust most all the crap the government says about illegal immigration. There's too many stories in the local news out here of ranchers finding large quantities of drugs dropped on their land..These politicians are either stupid, lieing, or way out of touch with what is going on... The 60,000 apprehensions a month number the border patrol is putting out is easy enough to dispute. They could compare it to the number of people that go before the court for breaking our immigration laws.
