The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

******************

IF YOU ARE USING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS' TAX RECORDS TO FIND AND KIDNAP THEM, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THEM PAYING TAXES.

Not paying taxes is still illegal. As is being an illegal (not "undocumented") in the USA (they aren't "immigrants" either).

IF YOU ARE SHOWING UP AT THEIR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THEM NOT WORKING.

According to State and Federal law, everyone is entitled to "show up" at a public place of employment. Are you a racist?


IF YOU ARE SHOWING UP AT COURTHOUSES, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT GETTING THEM TO "DO IT THE RIGHT WAY".

Same here, courthouses are public spaces. Are you in the Klan?



IF YOU ARE KIDNAPPING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT CRIMINALS.

If you are supporting human trafficking of women and children, you're a chomo. (No surprise there.)



IF YOU'RE REFUSING TO GIVE THEM DUE PROCESS, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION.

If you think people in the country illegally are entitled to the same due process as citizens, you're smoking crack.



IF YOU'RE SPENDING BILLIONS TO DO THIS, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE ECONOMY.

If you don't understand that spending billions on employment of additional government agents to rid the country of people who aren't here legally, as well as the materiel and infrastructure to do their jobs properly, is very stimulative of the economy in a positive way, then you failed ECON 101. Oh snap. You never took Econ 101, did you?



AND IF YOU'RE DOING ALL THIS IN THE NAME OF A 34-TIME CONVICTED FELON, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT FOLLOWING THE LAW.

No, it's being done in furtherance of the immigration and nationalization laws of the USA, duly passed by Congress. You must not believe in Democracy.
