IMO, Trump is fighting an uphill battle. He is trying to head butt wording in the 14th, twisting to suit his own definition. Courts have ruled on this several times, each time ruling against what Trump is trying to do.
Again, just my opinion, he should accept birthright citizenship for those whose parents are here legally. That would be green card holders, those with visas, etc.
Seems like he would have a shot a winning the argument those who are here legally ARE under the jurisdiction of the US.
[quote quote=9701]The new mayor Lurie in San Francisco is apparently going to attempt to fix the hash that London Breed (and generations of Democratic leadership) made of the city of San Francisco. He’s saying the right things. We’ll see if he can actually deliver:
- Reduce bureaucratic bloat; e.g., SF has nine homeless outreach teams, five departments that touch homelessness and more than 100 contractors who provide homeless services.[/quote]
This is similar to what I found in Portland/Multnomah County. It is impossible to get more than a close estimate of money spent on homelessness. One contractor is paid $26M annually to remove tents, tarps and hazardous waste while the county hands out over 24, 000 tarps and 6500 tents.
In terms of financial expenditures, a study by ECONorthwest found that more than $500 million was spent on homeless interventions in the Portland metropolitan area in 2023. Best estimate, this is roughly $84,000 annually per homeless person.
Drain the swamp.

[quote quote=9661]Heard on KCBS radio this morning that there is another move afoot for California to secede from the Union. The reasoning? Trump and MAGA. How perfect would that be. Become independent and be governed by Kamala. Exactly what the state deserves.[/quote]
California. Staggering debt, ineffectual leaders and a $50M slush fund set aside for the express purpose of fighting Trump, specifically his immigration policies.
Amazing, but making Trump the bogey man directs attention from the real problems.
Kamala is the governor California deserves. 🙂
It astounds me the enlightened voters of 2008- you know, the ones who voted for Obama – transformed into uneducated MAGA sycophants in 2024.
I saw a clip of Schiff saying he was not interested in a pardon, thought it unwise to do so. I guess it will be interesting to see if how many of those pardoned accept it.
I guess he didn’t get the memo that slightly more than 1/3 of voters have college degrees. Maybe a winning strategy would be – stop pandering to the fringe groups.

Is this why Congress wants to provide Social Security benefits to civil service workers?
A story of finger pointing, passing the buck, denial and bureaucratic failure.
Clearing brush requires a $150 fee and inspection- with an 8 week wait. Seriously?
Interesting she has legal status but decided to move anyway? Wonder how long it took the AP to find her. No mention that she is not in the demographic Trump wants to deport.
So she went to Ireland, and the entry process was easy peasy. Ireland had 141K immigrants last year, and all time high. The US averaged 183K ILLEGAL immigrants a month since Biden’s election. If our immigration system was not overburdened with processing illegals, it wouldn’t take years to gain legal status.
I don’t believe our immigration system is broken, only the enforcement of immigration law. I also don’t buy the argument we don’t want immigrants. We want and need immigrants that are here legally and contribute rather than consume resources. We are tired of stories about illegals housed in $350/night hotels, the take over of school gymnasiums, special public school classes… the list goes on.
Oh well, it won’t be long before we will start seeing stories about families being deported. If they are here illegally, I will applaud each one.
