Trump Tours "Alligator Alcatraz;" Agrees to Let DeSantis Deputize National Guardsmen as Immigration Judges to Speed Up Deportations
The left is always complaining that we need judges to handle the huge wave of illegal third-world immigration they encourage.
Okay, how about National Guard soldiers sworn in to be immigration judges? This is the kind of innovation in government I'm looking for.President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would approve Florida's plan to expedite deportations by having qualified National Guard members work as immigration judges. Trump made the announcement during his visit to a new state-run immigration detention center in South Florida dubbed Alligator Alcatraz. For months now, Gov. Ron DeSantis has sought the approval of the federal government to deputize Florida National Guard Judge Advocate General Corps. officers to act as immigration judges. On Tuesday, Trump said he is in favor of the plan. "He didn't even have to ask me. He has my approval," Trump said during a roundtable discussion at the immigration detention center in the Everglades. DeSantis on Monday said having the National Guard work as immigration judges on site at the detention center could fast-track deportations. On Tuesday, DeSantis said his goal was to cut through "bureaucracy." Because the detention center is built on an old airstrip, DeSantis and others have also said it will speed up the deportation process by allowing the federal government to fly migrants out of the site. Attorney General James Uthmeier, who was instrumental in the detention center's planning, said on social media Tuesday that it was a "one stop shop for immigration enforcement." "Come in, get your 'process,' and fly out," Uthmeier said.I love it. Unfortunately he's not talking about just making thousands of National Guardsmen judges, just Guardsman in the judge advocate corps. Lawyers, then.

It literally means a camp where you concentrate people.
Now socialists often kill people in concentration camps, but fortunately here Trump isn't one.

I don't think I'd be too scared of the alligators. They don't normally eat people, especially adult sized people, and they're pretty dumb and lazy.
The pythons though would terrify me. I don't know if that's rational or not, but I would be very afraid of death by snake.

It is a detention center for deportees awaiting deportation.
The people detained there aren't being forced into hard labor.
Their lives are not being threatened by the authorities there.
They came here illegally and are leaving legally.
Illegal aliens can avoid this entirely by packing up and heading home, in which case Trump has so generously offered them a free one-way plane ticket and $1000 once they get there.
If they don't like it, tough.
Make a choice - deal with the results.

Can someone change this fool's diaper and give him a bottle? It's a holding facility. Concentration camps as commonly understood were DEATH CAMPS. You were either worked to death, starved to death, or directly murdered by the people in the camp.
Yes, I know. There is some nuance between the work camps and the death camps run by the NAZIs. This facility is neither of those things. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of people died in those "work camps," so I don't really accept the difference anyway.

They are getting due process.
They're not being picked up off the street and put onto a plane. They're being held, brought before an IJ who asks for proof of their legal right to be in America. And when the illegal can't provide it, giving them final deportation orders.
The left isn't defining due process, of course. They're implying there is none. Their literal word choices say that they want more due process, implying something like a full jury trial to determine if people can stay.
And...the American people don't care. And they're going to continue to not care as crime rates go down (already happening), rent prices go down (already happening), and employment opportunities go up (already happening).

Haha. I thought it was a slightly tacky take on the Grace Kelly and Sofia Loren wedding dresses, like I said yesterday. But the libs are piling on it SO HARD, it's triggering my Oppositional Defiance Disorder tendencies, and I'm circling around to actually genuinely liking it.
The elements are all good! It's just trying to do too many things, is my problem. Like Coco Chanel said, take off ONE thing. Remove the buttons in the front, or the mermaid skirt, or the mixed lacework on the front, it would sing. But D&G decided to go OTT, bless them.
I think the left is creating a Streisand effect; they are ragging on it SO hard, that it's making it a buzzed about dress for years to come. Not their intent, but they're making her an icon.
Also, if she inspires a decade of classy sleeved wedding dresses, YES PLEASE. So many brides wear the wrong size of bust or strapless bra for their dress (or they lose too much weight before the day, and their boobs shrink and then fit poorly), and it always ruins the look. More sleeves please! And pockets while you're at it!

Pretty much everyone in the US gets the protections of the US Constitution, since those protections are there to stop the government from doing stuff, not as an affirmative (or positive) right for the people.
I am about as anti-immigrant as anyone, and I have no problem giving illegals due process. That due process is usually a very short hearing. I think that's fine, a 5-10 minute hearing before the final deportation order to make sure the person is really illegal and really has no legal right to be here.
The issue is that that has to be the limit of it -- "are you here illegally?" "yes, but --" "deported. Next case on the docket, please." You don't get a quasi trial designed to waste time.

When I told her I was nearly a minority at my high school she was surprised and asked where I attended. I told her East Anchorage. Her response: "I meant in the United States."

American Internment Camps
Fearful of threats to homeland security, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. His order authorized the removal of “any or all persons” from areas of the country deemed vulnerable to attack or sabotage. Nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans—two-thirds of them U.S. citizens—were forced from their businesses and homes. Most had only several days’ notice before they were relocated. They were held in internment camps in isolated locations for up to four years. Approximately 11,000 German nationals and 1,600 Italian nationals were arrested, with many interned.
NOTE: Two-thirds of them ^^ U. S. citizens.

Went and saw 28 Years Later in theatres. The popcorn bucket for M3GAN 2.0 is absolutely horrifying! The face rips off to show the robot face underneath. But the Jaws popcorn bucket was awesome.
Should have gone the Chucky route instead of Terminator. Horror fans don't want a bait and switch. If they want action, they want action. If they want horror, they want horror. I love mixing genres, but a true horror film needs to stay in its lane. (Ironically, I LOVE Godzilla minus one because it mashes historical fiction AND Kaiju. But they do it right.)
People are claiming the fear of AI turned people off from seeing M3GAN 2.0. I doubt it. They also tried to make M3GAN the doll a trans icon (gross), and I think that did FAR more damage.

Troy was actually going down to the Everglades several times over the past five or so years to catch boa constrictors, anacondas, and other invasive species, that have infested the area.
People let their exotic pets go and they all end up in the Everglades so Florida offers bounties for these big snakes.

From a completely sociopathic point of view, it makes perfect sense.

Right now, in IL, the ACLU is arguing that ICE must have a prior warrant, and present said warrant upon demand, prior to arresting or even detaining any illegal.
The judge is highly sympathetic and is certain to issue a nation wide injunction.
The basis being that some settlement agreement, where the government agreed to limit the use of general warrants against illegals, entered into years ago by neither this administration nor the current plaintiffs, over-rules and supersedes federal law.
If you don't understand how that Constitutional, it's because you didn't go to Harvard.

Polar bears don't care who you are. They will eat you. They particularly like hanging out at the municipal dump, because, food.
I'd have no problem putting another detention center up North somewhere, but it would be expensive. I doubt even the idiots they house there would risk being eaten by a polar bear.

Almost all of these people would by definition have crossed *multiple* safe countries, instantly vaporizing their asylum claims - which were laughably spurious anyway.

It's a fair reading. Trump did offer asylum to the white farmers from South Africa as their political leadership called for the murder of them.

Supposedly she was going to go strapless, but then going to space "changed her." Sigh. But she saw Loren's dress and decided to go the classy route. (Her "something blue" was also from the space trip, because of course!)

I asked President Trump about putting crocodiles in the Rio Grande to stop illegal crossings.
The President told me he actually wants to go further, importing ruthless African crocodiles:
“If you want to know the truth... They were serious. They were actually crocodiles. They were crocodiles from Africa. They are a step beyond.”

Trump effectively ended the asylum system.
All asylum claims (with some exceptions) are being denied. Just because someone screams Asylum doesn't mean the executive has to accept it.

Press
Advocacy groups urge the United Nations to address United States’ escalating abuse of immigrants, asylum seekers
In part, Washington, D.C., April 8 – "Yesterday, a group of 23 nonprofit organizations published a report urging the United Nations to address the rapidly deteriorating human rights situation of non-citizens in the United States. The report was submitted to the UN Human Rights Council, which is scheduled to formally review U.S. policies and practices in November.
The participating organizations called out the U.S. government’s ongoing violations of non-citizens’ fundamental rights through mass detention, denial of due process, abusive and discriminatory policing, labor exploitation, and suppression of civic space."
Much more followed.
The FINAL UPR Imm. Coalition Submission_4.7.25 was also attached therein, and everyone of nonprofits involved were listed.

I kept misunderstanding the calendar of events, but it seems like the timeline has begun for the hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the US on asylum claims to go back home.

If AI is the reason Americans are being let go, why are companies still asking for hundreds of thousands of foreign tech workers?

I've seen all the H-1B applications filed by employers for the last five years. These are not high skilled workers in big tech, little tech, wannabe tech, or anything remotely tech related. It's all a lie.
Next time someone says it's highly skilled, ask them to prove it.

He'd patiently tell me, while laughing, that they could not climb into the boat with us. That he had both the oar and a gun and would protect me. I still kept my feet in the air.

I've seen all the H-1B applications filed by employers for the last five years. These are not high skilled workers in big tech, little tech, wannabe tech, or anything remotely tech related. It's all a lie.
Next time someone says it's highly skilled, ask them to prove it.

This is 100% true. Most of the people coming in on H1B's are doing low skill (entry level) white collar work while American kids can't find jobs.
They're willing to work for cheaper, but I think it's more than that. Why would Microsoft not say "hey, American kid, instead of laying you off, we'll pay you H1B wages?" I think most American kids would take that option over unemployment. Instead, they do mass layoffs then hire people from India to replace them at 70-80% of the American kids' salary.

Forming a class is not an easy thing.
Boesberg tried to do with Tren de Agua members and failed, and it was a smaller class.
And forming a class is made the more complicated by the fact that the forming itself is appealable and people can sue the ones forming the class because they don't want to be part of it.

Karmelo Anthony Supporters Are Raging Online For Their Money Back After His Parents Reportedly Blew Through Over $500,000 In Donations
Karmelo Anthony once had thousands, if not millions, of supporters from around the country.
The campaign has not yet reached its $600,000 goal, but it appears the family is in need of more money.
Many online reports state that Anthony’s parents blew through half a million dollars and are allegedly asking for more money. His supporters are not only unhappy, some of them are demanding to have their money back.
“They chipped in money to a black murderer solely because he murdered a white guy. I’m glad they got scammed. They deserve it,” one person said.

Same thing that happened in the trades.
Yeah, it sucks being a laborer on a job site. But you know what? That used to be the path to the middle class or upper middle class for a lot of people.
You start out by humping around lumber and getting yelled at by a bunch of overweight alcoholics, but in 5 years, you're making good money as a carpenter.
When you take away those entry level jobs that have real possibility of career advancement, you're fucking people over for life and relegating them to a life of working in the service industry. Which is also going through the same thing.

Then watch bad faith, a lazy/ignorant/distracted electorate, and collapsed corrupted institutions and a useless political class just turn it upside down or ignore it.
The rot here is fundamental and seemingly universal, it's not just asylum law and policy.
Some progress can be made in some cases, depends. Military can hopefully be deloused of all the racism and other idiocy (maybe). But that's ironically the quickest/easiest institution to fix (see Truman's desegregation EO).
Not saying it can't be done, but fixing the letter of the law is about 15% of the struggle.

Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!

Highly, highly specialized and skilled people who wouldn't "overstay" in a million years (European engineers and technical specialists supporting European-made equipment), with *the CEOs and general counsels* of the companies involved, begging for an H-1B.
THAT is what the H-1B program was meant to be. Unless the law has been enormously amended since then, most H-1B issuance today is outrageous and unlawful.

I'm not so pessimistic on that front; changing the law here would produce real results. At any rate, the law being changed is at least feasible at some level. I'm not so sure that people can be made less corrupt or opportunistic. If the plan to save the immigration system depends on a rebirth of civicmindedness or the like, we may as well just grant mass asylum and get it over with.

That is still the intention of the law on paper. For highly specialized skills that no American citizen possesses.
Of course, like all things government, it's just a bunch of boxes to check now.
I know an instagram travel influencer here on an o1 (extraordinary talent) visa. She is well endowed though.

Technically they’re supposed to be non immigrant visas. But like all things in the immigration system there are a bunch of loopholes.

But where aren't there venomous snakes in Florida? (Florida has six species of venomous snakes, all of which are native to the state. These include the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Timber Rattlesnake, Pygmy Rattlesnake, Copperhead, Cottonmouth, and Eastern Coral Snake)
I was in Deland visiting my mom's grave years ago & it finally dawned on me I was probably looking at a coral snake inside the little fenced, wooded cemetery area.
I fled back to the church parking lot and just moments later, sirens went off because a plumber working nearby in the town had been bitten.
BTW, DeLand was one of only three hospitals in the US with the specific antivenom.

Trump probably got 50% of the male black vote who actually voted (not harvested or frauded). And probably 30% of the female black vote that actually voted.
If we can somehow clean up the elections in deep blue cities, the GOP would dominate the country. I'm convinced that this overwhelming support that Dumocraps have in blue cities is mostly fraudulent.

So now we get another histrionic p***ing match?
But to correct Trump's outburst a bit, the EV thing is absolutely correct, but space launches and telecom from Musk haven't been "subsidies", any more than the massive and unavoidable involvement of guvamint in space and telecom, as "public goods", are subsidies. Perhaps incorrect, removable interventions (doubt it, not completely anyway).
But when it's personal, you get the most outlandish Trump.

You are supposed to quietly say to yourself, black on red, fellow dead or something.
You did the right thing and exactly what I would have done (unless you were not screaming, I would be screaming).
We had "harmless" black snakes in FL on the Atlantic. I was more afraid of them than sharks. One as tall as me lived in our front hedge in the summers, forcing me to get the mail from the garage.
Florida blew my mind, and I hail from the deepest heart of the Deep South. I totally feared pythons in the toilet to finish me off one fine morning.

Crocodilia is an order of mostly large, predatory, semiaquatic reptiles, which includes true crocodiles, the alligators, and caimans; as well as the gharial and false gharial. A member of this order is called a crocodilian, or colloquially a crocodile.
The 9 genera and 28 species of Crocodilia are split into 3 subfamilies: Alligatoridae, alligators and caimans; Crocodylidae, true crocodiles; and Gavialidae, the gharial and false gharial.

The rest are just farmers and ag companies that go full retard and use illegal labor, routinely.
And Trump's emitting noises indicating ag will get special exemptions or treatment. Because of course ag "interests" are as patriotic, responsible, and civic-minded as the LA City Council - but hey they're Republicans! Big donors! "Conservatives"!!!
Fixing a third world country has never really been accomplished (OK, gray area cases like Singapore, British Hong Kong, maybe even El Salvador, Botswana). And fixing the US looks very much like fixing one of these places has always looked.

Saw one in my back yard the other day.
Shit's kinda freaky; second in toxicity only to the black mamba.
But, everything I've read/seen says they really, really prefer to run away and will only bite if mishandled.
Said also that only about 10% of the bites are envenomating.
90% are "MFer, leave me the F alone, will you?"
Another cool fact: they like to eat other snakes, specifically, the rough earth snake.
So, if you see little brown snakes, that's probably it's prey.

What is funny is that in internal screenings people kinda liked it but not a single one said they would go see it in the theater. So they tried to fix it, but it still sucks and cost like 300 million to make.
