You know I do not support DACA. People who were legally born in this
country are having problems getting jobs and going to college and taking
advantage of other opportunities coz' too much money is being spent to
support these illegal immigrants. They have countries they can return to
and if there is problems in their country, then they have a challenge
to change the laws of WHERE THEY COME FROM rather than coming here to
change the laws here so that they benefit them! They need to go home and
work on their laws and systems there, rather than coming here and
taking from legitimate Americans! We got our own problems keeping enough
work and opportunities for people who were legitimately born here!
Foreigners need to go back home and fight the good fight; we got enough
problems to keep us quite busy without inviting them in to put more
pressure on an already overbrought system! Send them home!
White House talking points on DACA advises recipients to self-deport
0Comments for this article
White House talking points that circulated around Washington Tuesday
about the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
program said that current recipients should be prepared to self-deport,
according to a Democratic source who obtained the document.
The document, shared with CBS News, says that “The Department of
Homeland Security urges DACA recipients to use the time remaining on
their work authorizations to prepare for and arrange their departure
from the United States — including proactively seeking travel
documentation — or apply for other immigration benefits for which they
may be eligible.”
Eventually, DACA will be “phased out,” the talking points said, in
which all DACA benefits that are provided on a two-year basis will
expire. Current DACA recipients have a chance to request a renewal, but
some have a small window of time — until Oct. 5 — to apply.
On Tuesday, senior DHS officials said that the administration’s
enforcement posture wouldn’t change as a result of the move. They said
this means that for deportation, criminals who are undocumented will
still be the priority, as well as illegal reentrants and people with
outstanding orders of removal.
Officials said there are no plans to change their methodology to
prioritize certain people, but they also said that there’s no way of
knowing what they’ll be doing in six months, in part because they want to give Congress a chance to pass legislation.
Officials said that they will not be issuing formal guidance that will
outline how to treat DACA recipients after their benefits expire.
But the administration’s policy, officials confirmed, is that anyone
who is in the U.S. illegally should be prepared to no longer remain
here.
Hours after the announcement was made, Mr. Trump said on Twitter that he might revisit the issue if Congress doesn’t legalize the program, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions argued was unconstitutional.
As of March of this year, the program has deferred deportations for more than 787,000 people, according to a Department of Homeland Security report released in June. Since Mr. Trump’s inauguration, undocumented students had feared that the president will reverse the DACA program.
Applicants must have continuously lived in the U.S. since June 15,
2007 and come to the U.S. before his or her 16th birthday. Those who
have been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor or three or
more other misdemeanors or who pose a risk to national security or
public safety are not eligible for the program. CBS News’ Jacqueline Alemany contributed to this report.
Now this tax loophole to enrich the already rich who seem to not want to pay their fair share of taxes but want to have a lot of say in government policy on how tax money is spent by the government. They are depriving states of millions of dollars they need to run their states. Now we the consumers have made these companies very rich and we have to pay taxes, but they seem to think they should be exempt from paying taxes, yet they get their money from US buying their products! Maybe we need to familiarize them with a process called consumer BOYCOTT since they are so selfish and greedy as to think they shouldn't ought to pay their fair share of taxes like we do!
A 'dark store' tax loophole enjoyed by Target and Lowe's is costing American schools billions
Good for retailers, bad for schools.Chaiwat Subprasom/Reuters
Retail giants like Target and Lowe's are fighting to pay less taxes. When they win, schools end up losing billions of dollars, Edweek reported.
In what is often described as a tax loophole, these retailers utilize
a legal argument dubbed the "dark store theory" to decrease their
annual property taxes. They say that their taxes should be calculated as
if their stores were vacant or "dark," rather than when they are at
full capacity.
Property taxes for retailers are most commonly assessed looking at
the "best and highest use" of the store, so a fully functional store
would be taxed higher than a vacant store.
Property taxes finance school district budgets, just as they finance
other public services like libraries, parks, and police departments.
The impact of a retailer winning a legal dispute under the dark store theory is significant.
Texas has estimated that within five years, the dark store theory could cost $2.6 billion annually and $1.2 billion in losses for schools, according to Edweek. And in Michigan, about two-thirds of districts lost at least
$75 million, according to Edweek, which said retailers have been winning
the argument in courts. Local governments object to the theory because it decreases
revenue to the state while also increasing the burden of increased taxes
on other property owners. Schools, roads, and other public
services still need funding. Governments have attempted to pass legislation against using the dark store theory, according to The National Law Review.
With so much on the line for both retailers and local and state governments, the issue isn't going away soon. Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story included a
reference to Home Depot. A spokesperson for the company reached out and
said they don't use the strategy.
Secretary of the navy, you are cursed. See I did tell you that you would still answer to God for the injustice you committed against me! You took my freedom for a crime no one committed and now you suffer. These incidents and worse will happen until you make right the wrong you committed so many years ago! You personally didn't do it but now you're in charge of this evil organization and so you are responsible. Nothing will go right for your precious navy and more tragedies will continue to happen until you make right the wrong you committed so long ago! It is not I who speaks but the authority of the Lord that speaks! Fix this wrong or worse disasters will befall you! Sorry about the poor sailors who lost their lives, but this is all your fault for refusing to give an innocent man JUSTICE for over 30 YEARS! Fixxx it before things get worse so saith the LORD!!!! Mock me if you like for it is not me but the Lord you mock fools!!!
As I've said many times before the inoccent will pay for the crimes of the guilty white people!!!
4 accidents, 2 deadly, raise questions about Navy operations
This combination of file photos show U.S. Navy ships the USS Antietam,

has ordered a comprehensive review to get to root causes after the
collision this week between a Navy destroyer and an oil tanker near
Singapore. The crash on Aug. 21, 2017, is the latest "in a series of
incidents in the Pacific theater," Adm. John Richardson said in a video
statement. Navy ships have been in at least four accidents in the
Pacific this year. (U.S. Navy via AP, AP Photos/File)
BANGKOK
(AP) -- One major U.S. Navy collision may be an accident. Twice in two
months could be a coincidence. Or it could point to a bigger failing in
how the U.S. navigates its warships around the world.
It
is unclear how the collision occurred early Monday between the USS John
S. McCain and a Liberian-flagged oil tanker in a crowded shipping lane
off Singapore, leaving 10 American sailors missing and five injured.
The
broken destroyer, now docked in Singapore while investigators look into
the cause of the crash, is the fourth Navy vessel involved in an
accident this year in the Pacific. No one was hurt in the first two
incidents, but seven Navy sailors were killed in June in a collision
between the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship off the coast of Japan.
"While
each of these four incidents is unique, they cannot be viewed in
isolation," said Adm. Scott Swift, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Analysts
said the two latest accidents are especially sobering, especially at a
moment when U.S. warships occasionally patrol the disputed South China
Sea to the consternation of Beijing, and President Donald Trump has
swapped threats with North Korea's leader, putting nations across Asia
on edge.
"It
is truly extraordinary, not only that it should happen, and not only
that it should happen to the U.S. Navy, but that it should happen
repeatedly within weeks in the same geographic area," said John
Blaxland, head of the Strategic and Defence Studies Center at the
Australian National University in Sydney.
Long-standing
protocols for avoiding collisions include having sailors watching the
water on all sides, radar systems detecting obstructions and commanders
carving clear paths ahead.
The Navy has ordered an "operational pause," which Blaxland said makes sense "to explore what on Earth is happening."
Though
the investigation into the McCain collision has only just begun,
analysts say there are many possible causes, including crew fatigue,
command shortfallings, radar malfunctions, software glitches and even
jammed signals that might have prevented the warship from detecting
obstacles.
