Why would I want to do that? EVs are horrible. They cost more, they take forever to charge (if you can find a charging station), depreciate faster, cause more wear on tires and infrastructure, perform poorly in cold weather, are more expensive to repair, lack range, can’t tow, cost more to insure, require massive amounts of natural resources to produce, when they catch fire it is nearly impossible to extinguish and 80% of the electricity to charge them comes from fossil fuels, so they aren’t going to ‘save the planet’

<20% “After a year of slowed EV adoption in the US left auto giants including Ford with billions of dollars in losses, some car makers are rethinking their business strategies”

Biden can’t pass laws by fiat.

Did they immigrate legally?

No, I am supporting Nikki Haley, I have FAR to much history to run for public office.

Again I am unfamiliar with Trump’s rape conviction. Would that be like Clinton’s rape conviction?

https://www.npr.org/2024/01/16/1224913698/teslas-chicago-charging-extreme-cold “I've been here for over five hours at this point and I still have not gotten to charge my car," Tesla driver Brandon Welbourne told CBS News Chicago, as car horns blared nearby. "A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours." EV sales are about to hit the wall, once the early adopters and virtue signalers have their EVs and normal folks opt out.

Actually I was born there, in Davenport. I must have missed something, when was Trump convicted of rape?

It’s called politics. BTW 75% of voters feel something should be done to stem the flood of illegals pouring into our country. Unfortunately Biden is held hostage to the far left wing of his party.

We can secure our southern border AND support Ukraine at the same time. It seems a very sensible approach.

I do support it. What makes you think I don’t?

No it’s because too many New Yorkers are moving to Florida “In 2022, most people moving to Florida came from New York. And although Hypewired’s study showed Florida as New Yorkers’ first choice, Rhode Island had the highest amount of searches related to moving to Florida.”

https://www.businessinsider.com/moving-to-texas-from-florida-california-new-york-2023-10#:~:text=Over 668%2C300 people moved into,%2C Florida%2C and New York. Being a critical thinker I prefer to look at data rather than listen to anecdotes.

Folks in California, Illinois and New York do.

NIMBY much?

Where do you think we should send these people? Where do you think they want to go? Eagle Pass TX? I will grant you that what Abbott is doing is not perfect, but it is better than having them languish in an overcrowded detention center.

Abbott is helping them reach their destination. Surely you don’t think these folks traveled hundreds/thousands of miles to remain in Eagle Pass Texas. Sanctuary cities are the logical destination. What Abbott I’d doing is sensible and compassionate.

Now it’s the Democrat mayors of Philadelphia, Chicago, New York and Denver screaming ‘border border border’.

“Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) on Friday said his fellow Democrats need to “wake up” and see the border crisis for what it is: ‘A disaster.” “It is an unmitigated, embarrassing, unforgivable disaster,” That Democrat must watch FOX News

Agreed. According to Trump, everything Trump does = fantastic, anything anyone else does is a disaster.

Biden’s stated position is “don’t come, but if you do we will let you in”. The massive surge did not happen during the Trump administration, it happened under Biden.

As long as illegals are released into the country instead of being deported the pull factor will be irresistible. Biden opened up the border in a knee jerk reaction to do the opposite of Trump and we are now seeing the consequences. This administration lacks the backbone to address the problem, so I guess we will just have to continue to bus these folks to sanctuary cities.

Reinstate the remain in Mexico policy. What is your solution?
