It's being used out of context.

Reagan never said we should let anyone come who wants to come here. (he actually said just the opposite)


Here's some other stuff he said.

"No free and prosperous nation can by itself accommodate all those who seek a better life or flee persecution."

"These principles are designed to preserve our tradition of accepting foreigners to our shores, but to accept them in a controlled and orderly fashion."

"We must not encourage illegal immigration."

"We shall seek new ways to integrate refugees into our society without nurturing their dependence on welfare.

"We must ensure adequate legal authority to establish control over immigration: to enable us, when sudden influxes of foreigners occur, to decide to whom we grant the status of refugee or asylee; to improve our border control; to expedite return of those coming here illegally; to strengthen enforcement of our fair labor standards and laws; and to penalize those who would knowingly encourage violation of our laws."

That's something I don't understand. You want to come here. Ok, great. Learn out language and our customs. Become a citizen and assimilate.

For someone to be here for years (and years) but not become a citizen tells me they really don't want to be a American. In those cases they need to shit or get off the pot.
 

US judge says Trump must end National Guard deployment in Los Angeles​

  • Judge finds that Trump exceeded his authority
  • National Guard troops to be placed in governor's control
Dec 10 (Reuters) - A federal judge in California on Wednesday ordered an end to Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles and directed that they be returned to the control of the state's Democratic governor, finding that the Republican president had exceeded his authority.

The ruling by San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer represented the latest legal setback for Trump and his efforts to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-controlled cities, an extraordinary use of the military for domestic purposes.

Judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be released immediately from ICE custody​

A federal judge on Thursday ruled the Trump administration lacks legal authority to continue holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia in an immigration detention center. He is fighting new deportation efforts following his wrongful removal to El Salvador in March and subsequent return to the U.S. over the summer.

In her ruling, Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ordered Abrego be released from the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Pennsylvania, citing a lack of a final order of removal for Abrego.

DHS Classifies Just 4% of ICE Arrests as “the Worst”—Most for Nonviolent Offenses​

This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published data intended to prove that DHS immigration arrests are “starting with the worst of the worst.” DHS incoherently calls the list the “dictionary of depravity.” But its own data show the opposite: DHS is not prioritizing the “worst of the worst.” It is running up its arrest numbers and then using a relatively small number of serious criminals to smear everyone else.

  • The DHS “worst of the worst” data account for just 4 percent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests since January 20.
  • Of the individuals that DHS claims are the “worst of the worst,” 56 percent have not been charged with any violent crimes.
  • A quarter of the “worst of the worst” offenders had nothing more than a vice, traffic infraction (not driving under the influence, DUI), or immigration charges.
  • DHS has placed thousands of people’s faces and names on this list of infamy only for minor offenses, including drug possession charges, traffic infractions, and minor immigration offenses.
  • DHS also counts the same individuals multiple times in dozens of cases.
  • DHS appears to include individuals who were never free in the United States and were initially arrested under the Biden administration.

Trump Asked Why Norwegians Don’t Immigrate Here. Here’s the Actual Answer.​

Dec 11, 2025 #USPolitics #Scandinavia #PoliticalAnalysis
Why don’t people from Norway, Sweden, or Denmark flood into the United States the way Trump thinks they should?
Well… when you compare the systems side by side, the answer is obvious.
These countries have universal healthcare, strong worker protections, paid parental leave, affordable childcare, low poverty rates, and some of the lowest homicide numbers in the world. Meanwhile, Americans face some of the highest medical costs, longest work hours, and thinnest safety nets of any wealthy nation.
This video breaks down the real differences — and why people from well-functioning democracies aren’t rushing to leave societies that actually invest in them.
It’s not about slogans. It’s about systems, outcomes, and lived reality.

They probably have consequences for unlimited spending... like DOGE found 7 (unregulated) computers printing $$ like there was no tomorrow, or USAID funding the world for no real reason.

If we had all that money here, we too could have all the above!
 
Lots of words but nothing will happen...


Here it is:

CONSPIRACY THEORY NO MORE:

The Democrat Party, through the Biden–Harris terrorist administration, bribed $6 billion in American taxpayer money to a network of United Nations agencies and over 200 NGOs to take down and overthrow the Constitutional Republic of the United States.

Mike Howell: currently serve as the executive director of the Oversight Projects and previously was at DHS and on Capitol Hill conducting oversight of immigration matters.

“The United States of America is still reeling from the worst border invasion in its history.”

Mike Howell:
“This invasion could not have been accomplished without a colossal partnership with the NGO community. Simply put, the government just did not have the capacity to get this many people in and around the country without the support of the nonprofits.

And to that end, they gave them almost $6 billion to a conglomerate of UN agencies and over 200 NGOs to do just that”

“The Oversight Project has led the way in exposing what I call this border industrial complex — We did the first of its kind study where we tracked illegal aliens by their cell phones as they went through these nonprofits at the border. In just a one month period in tracking 30,000 devices, so a very small subset of the 10 million that Biden had crossed the border

We found out that the illegals went to nearly EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN THE UNITED STATES. We PROROVED that every town was indeed a border town.”

The U.N. should be defunded and designated as a terrorist organization, as should the 200 NGOs involved, as well as every single Biden cabinet member, and tried in a military tribunal for attempting to take down the U.S. government.
 
Yeah we were forbidden to ask about immigration status or cooperate with the Fed's over immigration in any way.

Boy they have ruined this country haven't they ?
 

You understand what's coming?

The turn of the calendar is the expiration of the niceness.

These people were TOLD TO LEAVE ON THEIR OWN for an entire YEAR.

They even got help, money, plane trips, if they followed the law and left our country.

The grace period expires, I'm pretty sure, on or around January 20, 2026.

They'll have had AN ENTIRE YEAR of the Trump presidency to TAKE THE STRONG HINT and depart.

Those that remain?

Have no excuse.

When it begins:

1. The cutting off of all food welfare
2. The cutting off of all housing welfare
3. The eviction from all government-controlled housing

you are gonna see never-seen-before levels of absolute hysteria from the Fake News.

Entire families not just being being EVICTED from illegally occupied housing, but DEPORTED.

They'll scream.

They'll cry.

The media will gaslight that the illegals being evicted and deported are victims of tyranny.

And it won't matter.

Trump will get it done.

Man accused of illegally towing ICE vehicle during raid found not guilty​

A South Los Angeles tow truck driver has been found not guilty of federal charges after being accused of towing a government vehicle used by ICE during an immigration arrest earlier this year.

Bobby Nuñez, 33, was charged with theft of government property and faced up to ten years in prison before a jury found him not guilty on Friday.

In a statement, the U.S. Attorney's office said, "The trial lasted four days. The jury deliberated for more than three hours. We have no further comment."

Part 2: Answering Trump: Why Scandinavians Stay Home (Debunking the "Collapse" Myth))​

Dec 21, 2025 #NordicModel #DonaldTrump #Economics
In Part 2, we are stripping away the politics and looking at the hard 2024 data to see who is actually right.
In this video, we debunk the excuses:
• The "Small & Homogenous" Myth: Why "whiteness" isn't an economic strategy (and why the model scales just fine in Germany).
• The GDP Reality Check: Trump thinks the US is richer, but the data shows Norway beats us per capita, and Denmark is neck-and-neck.
• The "Crippled Innovation" Lie: If high taxes kill innovation, why is Sweden ranked #2 in the world (beating the US at #3)?
• The Immigration Panic: Why the "out of control" narrative is outdated (Sweden is actually seeing net emigration in 2024).
• The "Shithole" Defense: Why pointing out colonial debt and net financial transfers isn't "Marxist spin"—it's just historical accounting.
Trump asked why they don't come here. The data shows they aren't coming because they are too busy living in societies that are safer, healthier, and more innovative than ours.

President Trump is proving once again that he is a kind President who is always thinking of others. Look at how many thousands of people he is giving free airfare to spend holidays back home with their people.


 

H-1B visa applicants face more disruptions amid social media checks and wage protection rules​

  • The U.S. has started conducting online presence reviews of all H-1B and H-4 visa applicants in a bid to curb what it refers to as the “abuse” of the program.
  • The wage protection law proposed by the Department of Labour last week could dissuade companies from sponsoring H-1B visas.
  • Any changes to the H-1B rules will likely disproportionately hurt Indians, as they make up more than 70% of the recipients in recent years
H-1B applicants face a challenging year ahead as political pushback to the visas is reinforced with a slew of actions from the U.S. administration.

On Monday, the U.S. Embassy in India posted on X that since Dec. 15, it has started conducting online presence reviews of all H-1B and H-4 visa applicants in a bid to curb the “abuse of the H-1B program.”
