Was this the thread where we also talked about how in Florida they'll deny workers comp to undocumented workers injured on the job on the grounds that signing up with falsified ID is fraud on the workman's comp system?

Yeah, that happens to most Heisman trophy winners that don't make it in the pros. Stultus Maximus posted:How long before McCarthy claims it's a homophobic witch hunt? Nah, McCarthy has basically underbussed Santos with never-ending no comments and there are handfuls of GOP Reps openly saying he should resign already. He's only still in Congress because McCarthy wouldn't get that vote back, or not until the next special election. On conviction, the co-founder of Facebook will be gone.

Nick Soapdish posted:Best healthcare system in the world, baby It was basically impossible to figure out if my denervation surgery last year was going to be covered or not. Hyper-rare surgery with miscellaneous billing codes, multiple back/forths in MyChart between the hospital and the insurance company, and none of it processing quickly. This state drops the loving hammer on insurers, so mine knew better than to contest anything, but lol that they have to keep a file on it with full voice records and everything if they want to gently caress around. I still remember the days of pre-ACA "pre-existing condition, lol you're hosed" decisions and the insurers would absolutely love to go back to that system if they got the chance.

I don't see the issue with this E verify "problem". All of those AMERICAN CITIZENS that had their jobs STOLEN by those pesky ILLEGALS are now able to find a great paying job and work. Wasn't that the plan?!?

For a good long while there was a tacit agreement between state governments and illegal immigrants - the state governments don't heavily push e-verify and in exchange, the migrant workers / farm owners don't cover the statehouse steps in rotten produce that couldn't be picked. That's starting to break down because Republican primary voters won't accept the racism dial pegged at 10. Gerrymandered state districts make it so that politicians only lose when some other dude claims he can make the dial go to 17 and the previous guy's promise of 13 by the next election just won't do. Solution's the same as it's been forever - some type of permanent status for those here, border clampdown for those that aren't, and a dramatically revamped immigration process. But Republicans have essentially turned on *legal* immigration once Donnie gave them their 10.

Isn't border clampdown still a red herring because the majority of undocumented immigration is things like overstaying visas and not sneaking through the desert?

That entire side is a fish factory. But a big, beautiful wall is probably the cost of getting their votes and fixing the stuff actually wrong. They just want their big, beautiful wall without any of the other stuff, which is why the mid-Obama immigration filibuster was the last decent shot at fixing things.

Soylent Pudding posted:Isn't border clampdown still a red herring because the majority of undocumented immigration is things like overstaying visas and not sneaking through the desert? I've heard that also (and believe the statement). I would like to see what kinds of jobs those overstayed visa people fill. It seems to me (and I admit I don't have data to back this up) that the construction/agriculture jobs are highly seasonal, which would imply that those immigrants migrate back and forth across the border depending on time of year/job. For whatever reason, even though we know we need these people, we make it difficult to get here and do this work. It would be cheaper for everyone if we streamlined the process to get them in country legally, let them do their work/get paid, and then let them go back home and/or offer them a pathway to citizenship. It would protect the workers, allow us to not have fruit rotting on the vine, build our homes/store, and generate more tax revenue (possibly much more if we don't have to spend so much on the border).

I don't know the legal mechanics involved but it seems like it probably would be better if the border was actually more porous, not less ...PBS has recently aired La Frontera, an interesting series hosted by Pati Jinich. The amazingly functional trans-border communities that exist on the US/Mexico border from San Diego to Brownsville are a model for what many US urban areas will inevitably become...richly multi-cultural economies that thrive in their diversity. Tens of thousands of people commute DAILY across the border, and stunning amounts of truck commerce goes back and forth as well. Even cattle flow almost freely across the border. Immigration reform is unarguably needed, but The Wall is not only stupid...it's just absurdly loving stupid.
