There's a lot more to this problem than just deporting the folks that scare y'all so badly.

Because we do an extremely ****ty job if checking exits that don't occur at airports we don't have a really good handle on visa overstays (911 anybody?). Could be 40% of undocumented folks.

Our rules are basically what we set out in 1965 with tweaks in the 80s and 90s.

And we all know what happened when legit bipartisan reform was tried a few years ago: Trump scuttled it. Twice

Just know it won't be all landscapers and fruit pickers.

Good. Every illegal, every one of them, must go. Remember, nobody is above the law (unless you are related to Joe Biden).

May you get everything you voted for.

---

That's the idea. You're simply upset because your ****** loving, kid sexualizing, open border leftists lost so you can't get what you voted for.

---

Gaetz, and the Speaker who protected him, and the president who nominated him, are kid sexualizing leftists?

News to
me.

Rome had a policy of when tribal nations wanted to join the Empire, they could but had to divide up and give up their 'nationality' and become Roman 1st.

They stopped doing this late 3rd Century and eventually the Goths / Visigoths / and Vandals (considered Foederati, not Roman citizens) all sacked Rome in the 5th century. Eventually the Western Empire line ceased in 476 a.d.... and the further decline of 'whatever Rome was' from then on continued.

They should have never allowed those 'nations' to keep their 'nationalities.'

If you want to be Roman... then be Roman.

If you want to be American... THEN BE AMERICAN! Which means??

I dont care what color your skin. I care a ton about what Nations Flag you parade around and wave at soccer games.

Looking at you Mexico.

How was this not already being done?

264-159: The House passes the Laken Riley Act, which would require DHS to detain undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes.

48 Democrats voted with all Republicans present. The measure now moves to the Senate, where at least one Dem senator has backed it. pic.twitter.com/vekKu2uFzc

One has to believe in a literal hell to make that analogy work.

Of course hell is real and literal, just like heaven. Same is true for God & Satan.

For languages with a long written history, etymologists make use of texts, particularly texts about the language itself, to gather knowledge about how words were used during earlier periods, how they developed in meaning and form, or when and how they entered the language. Etymologists also apply the methods of comparative linguistics to reconstruct information about forms that are too old for any direct information to be available. By analyzing related languages with a technique known as the comparative method, linguists can make inferences about their shared parent language and its vocabulary.

The point is that what you say hell and heaven are may differ in the their original texts of scripture.
For instance, the scriptural understanding God changed within the scriptures themselves and "God" has all kinds of theisms attached to it.
Bottom line what do you mean by heaven and hell and are they scriptural dating back to our earliest texts. Harmonization of texts in the OT to NT is not a good Biblical tool.

Oh yes, Wikipedia is not a reliable source on much of anything. Like do much else, it's controlled by the fascists do it has plenty of half truths & outright lies. Your relying on it reduced whatever credibility you had.

Love to hear from the resident false prophet.

How could old Waco47 be a false profit when he claims to have graduated from an accredited theology school ?

Of course he originally claimed to have graduated from Baylor.
Only to grudgingly admit years later that he didn't.

The minister now won't admit exactly where ( or if ) he actually got his degree.

Most likely out of embarrassment to face all his associates after years of propagating the lie.

Websters - etymologies
1
: the history of a linguistic form (such as a word) shown by tracing its development since its earliest recorded occurrence in the language where it is found, by tracing its transmission from one language to another, by analyzing it into its component parts, by identifying its cognates in other languages, or by tracing it and its cognates to a common ancestral form in an ancestral language

2
: a branch of linguistics concerned with etymologies

Even if God dictated through the intellects of the Biblical writers those texts still need to studied as texts
