Political Chatter

 If you'd asked me five years if the border business would be the number one topic  of the 2024 election....I would have laughed.  Today?  I'd say the economy/rescession and the border business....are running neck-and-neck.

A mess for Joe Biden to clean up?  No.  It's left to whichever Democrat that the Convention delivers to replace Joe Biden (either Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom).  

Personally, both would have to come out and do some weird dance....to say their plan is radically different from Joe Biden, and 'throw' Joe under some heavy criticism.

So  I suspect MO or GN....will stick with Joe Biden's plan, and try to sell people on this.

If Trump wins?

I see five things happening:

1.  The whole path to citizenship is going to be halted, and you only advance if you came through approval to enter.  The 'walkers'?  They might get a Green Card and a work-deal...if no crimes exist, but the rest will end up in some holding system to be sent home.  The bulk of these people will never get citizenship.

2.  I suspect the US Army in Europe will get orders to return to the US, with the bulk placed in southern California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas....with some 60-day deployment schedules worked out for 4,000 to be on daily border-patrol.

3.  The fence?  It'll be finished by mid-2026.

4. Sanctuary cities asking for fed money?  I see that money path gone.  There  will be a sudden change in public attitude,  with Democratic mayors looking for some miracle to pay for housing they can't afford.

5.  Finally, just this odd feeling.....approximately 80,000 IRS agents will be given a new job.....border patrol, and half of them exit government service.

gavin pushed the minimum wage raise to us$20 each and every hour.
It applies equally to all workers...
... except his business-owning campaign donors.
Bakeries such as Panera are exempt.
The owner of multiple Panera bakeries donated nearly a quarter million to gavin.
