Our entire food supply vegetables, dairy 🧈 industry and meat production is done by illegals on huge corporate farms.Native Americans will never work in those slaughterhouses field work picking crops in any measurable way to make a difference.

The hospitality industry, maids, dishwashers, are all illegals  or peoole on work permits.

Trump will build a wall and keep our the criminal but will vet millions in. Our economy would collapse w/o illegals because our native birth rate  is heading to negative numbers
Illegals  who obtain work permits also get a fed govt id number and they do pay into SS 

In my area Hispanics do most of the tree trimming and lawn care and I live in a whitebread area.  Young white males will just not do this work or they are all on drugs, no drivers license and lazy with poor attitudes. Not all but enough.. It's pitiful

@banddag You are full of it.  First of all, ILLEGALS don't assimilate.  If that were the case I wouldn't have to press 1 on the phone to hear English and 2 for Spanish. They wouldn't be getting free housing, healthcare, and food. I have witnessed BOA giving out loans with only a matricula card; basically no verified U.S. citizenship needed for loans, bank accounts and credit cards.

Secondly, many contractors hire ILLEGALS in order to underbid other contractors who don't hire ILLEGALS so in essence ILLEGALS are taking jobs away from Americans. It's not a matter of Americans not wanting the jobs. Same goes for agriculture -- there are plenty of dairy farmer and cattle ranchers that are hurting because once again, they can't compete with the cheap ILLEGALS labor.

There are plenty of CNA's, LPN's and nurses who work that are not of 'ILLEGAL' descent.  Same goes for maids, cooks, dishwashers, etc. 

As for population -- open your eyes.  The gov't just went after folks in nursing homes with this mandated COVID b.s. to wipe out the elderly population -- they've gone after LEGAL Americans and insisted and mandated the COVID vaccine.  Those vaccines have proven to have cause adverse side effects in younger people, and in some instances death.  IMHO I believe that there is the possibilities that the vaccines given to our youth have made them sterile.

Do you think all the ILLEGALS have been given the vaccines?  Heck they're coming across without being vaccinated for measles, rubella, polio, tuberculosis, etc.

The gov't is trying to lower the U.S. population.  Why?? Yet you're claiming that our population is so low that we need ILLEGALS.  I declare b.s.

Oh, and back to your comment about vetting. Please explain how are they supposed to vet an ILLEGAL???  Look their name up on the computer and if nothing shows up let them through?  Do you think that they're all waiting patiently and nicely in line to give their story and apply for asylum?  What qualifies them for asylum???  How do you vet a refugee??? Most are coming in without even being noticed.  Our border is NOT complete.  There are many areas that they can just come across.

This has been a problem for decades.  It is nothing new.  However, it's now being addressed because of the 7,000,000 let in under Brandon and those are just the ones that they can account for. People in NY, Chicago and Denver are now realizing exactly what is happening.

Cohen says he paid off Daniels with Trump's approval - and a promise he'd be repaid
By Ben Kochman

Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked Cohen whether he would have paid Daniels the hush money without Trump approving it first.

“Everything required Mr. Trump’s sign off,” Cohen testified.

Cohen added that he wanted to let Trump know about the payoff in advance to ensure he'd be paid back.

“On top of that, I wanted the money back," he testified.

Cohen tells the jury he decided to fund $130,000 himself from a home equity loan

Cohen told the jury he decided to fund the $130,000 himself from his HELOC, or home equity loan, to keep it away from his wife.

He said: ‘My wife as chief executive of the household would not understand if there was $130,000 missing from out joint bank account

‘That would have been a problem for me. Once I received the money back from Mr Trump I would deposit it and nobody would be the wiser’

Cohen asked David Pecker to cover Daniels' hush money payment, but was denied

Cohen testified that, fearful that Daniels would sell her story to the Daily Mail, he asked David Pecker to pay the $130,000 to Daniels to keep the porn star's story quiet.

"I figured, why not ask?" Cohen testified, drawing some chuckles in the room.

But Pecker, who had already paid Karen McDougal $150,000, blanched at paying Daniels as well.

"Not a chance," Pecker told Cohen, Cohen recalled.

Weisselberg wanted to generate $130K through golf memberships, bar mitzvah at Trump properties: Cohen
By Kyle Schnitzer

Michael Cohen testified that Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, talked about possibly generating $130,000 through golf memberships or holding a wedding at one of Trump’s facilities.

The conversation happened when Cohen was scrambling to find a way to fund the LLC account to pay off Daniels, when Weiselberg suggested that he should see if someone wanted to buy a membership at one of Trump’s golf clubs.

Other options included finding someone to host a wedding or bar mitzvah, Cohen said.

He testified that it “wasn’t a possibility because each of those entities have a Trump name” attached to it and he wanted to keep it away from Donald Trump’s name.

Cohen used Yom Kippur as excuse to delay Stormy Daniels hush money payment
By Ben Kochman

Michael Cohen testified that Donald Trump told him to delay paying Stormy Daniels the $130,000 until after the election.

As part of this plan, Cohen emailed Daniels' lawyer Keith Davidson on Oct. 12, 2016, that he couldn't talk on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur -- but it was just part of their ruse to stiff Daniels, Cohen testified.

Trump believed that if they could merely push off the payment until after the election, "it would not matter," Cohen told jurors.

Yom Kippur is the most sacred day on the Jewish calendar, and is intended to be used for atonement and repentance.

Cohen said he had to change LLC name because it had same name as friend's company
By Kyle Schnitzer

Michael Cohen admitted he had to change the name of the LLC for hush money payments because it had the same name as his friend's company.

“I realized during the process but I couldn’t realize why we called it Resolution Consultants," Cohen testified.

"It’s actually the name of a company of someone that I know who is out of state, and I don’t think he’d appreciate using the same name as his company."

Cohen said he changed the name to "Essential Consultants LLC."

Cohen then testified he lied on paperwork filing out the form to say it was a management consulting company because he wasn't sure if it would go through knowing it was money for a porn star.

"I'm not sure if they would've opened it if it stated 'to pay off an adult film star for a nondisclosure agreement,'" Cohen said.

Cohen says he used home equity line of credit to avoid wife’s suspicions


Cohen used his home equity line of credit (HELOC) to fund the $130,000 payment to Daniels.

On the stand, Cohen said he couldn’t pull the money directly from his bank account because he owned it jointly with his wife, who would raise suspicions, but Cohen stressed that he couldn’t tell her about the deal.

“My wife was the CEO of the household,” Cohen said.
