    I talked to a guy who runs a big pop-up nursery every spring and fall in Jacksonville. He also advises others on how to get started. His advice: Hire Mexicans or don't bother.

    Ever read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," written in 1906? Immigrants were working in the meat industry then too.

    Cmon Bluke. Don't stoop to their level here.
    My defense of him is an honest one.

    He doesnt need me to defend him. I do It because It's the right thing to do.

    His moderating is right down the middle and he is no more left than any other liberal poster. And he certainly doesn't stoop to the level of some of our Maga posters or crazy libby types.

    Dont drink the Gator Chatter Kool aid. That stuff is poison.

    My family is 4 generation Fence contractors and I ran my own business for 15 years. And could have been as good an SEC coach as Muschamp if given the chance so I can relate to your buddy. ;)

    Ft. Collins is a great place to be in the fence biz. I've been here 20 years & replaced mine 3 times & had major repairs many times. &, tonight it is super windy again....just went out & put huge rocks on & around my grill which keeps getting blown around the yard.

    Or the coast. Hurricanes are a cash cow for a fence company.

    Kind of humorous since I know several trumpsters that have cleaning ladies, 2 that have nannies, everybody that has a pool and one good old boy that owns a construction company. Try again.

    What is the primary criterion for measuring a mod?
    …whether he/she deletes or edits posts proportionally?
    I do not care about that at all…although I guess it’s nice to hear.
    My thinking is that mods set the tone of the board. They have the power and ability to keep the discussion in the lanes.
    I do not think River does a good job in this respect. He comes across just as condescending as many of the rest of the democrats on the board.
    I think Tilly and Oklahoma do keep it mostly fair, honest and stimulate discussion.
    And, Tilly and OKlahoma don’t always side with the right…which gives you two more credibility.

    It makes them more centrist... credibility is hard to find in a politically charged forum. "Credibility" is more biased in nature than most people think... it's in the eye of the beholder. It can often be subjective and not objective.

    Welcome to the club. Mine was "over the top". Apparently I need to work harder at staying under the top. I have been diagnosed as retarded by a Whitey Rightey in another thread in a post that was not deleted. I was going to test whether I could get away with calling Whitey retarded, but was fairly certain that it would be over the top. Sad that the forum has degenerated to such idiocy.

    What’s sad is you used to be a solid poster.
    Trump is just one dude…and it’s temporary. Relax…

    Why did Trump pardon all of the informants?

    Most Americans don't have an issue with immigrants. The issue are illegal immigrants, 11 million of them. Let me put that in perspective. The EU's estimates are about half that. The National Institute of Health has a paper discussing this and this is what they say about it:

    International Examples of Undocumented Immigration and the Affordable Care Act - PMC

    I bolded the important part. Now before you say it's a Trump admin study, you are absolutely wrong. In fact, this study was done during the Obama administration in 2014. That's 11 years ago so imagine the update to these numbers today. Notice the bolded part about birthers. Even the NIH back in 2014 saw an issue with it because that is leading to even larger numbers of undocumented immigrants which places a massive burden on our health care system.

    So, many liberals have proposed just making them all legal or advocating for open borders thinking that would solve our problems. Nope, it would make them far far worse.

    https://cis.org/Immigration-Studies/How-Many-Would-Really-Come-if-Borders-Were-Open

    There was a poll done back in 2019 that at the time was the largest poll in human history. It asked nearly 2 Billion people outside the US if they would do everything possible to migrate to the US if we had open borders. 158,000,000 said yes and these are individual numbers, if you extrapolate based on families, it's closer to 750,000,000 that would flood to the US. I don't have to go into detail what that would look like. It took 64 years for 12,000,000 to immigrate to the US during the Great Migration. If liberals were to see this, they would change their minds pretty quickly, but notice none of the liberal media outlets ever talk about this.

    So you're just going to ignore the immigration bills that were proposed when Obama and Biden were in office. I'd like to add that when Obama was in office the bill was partially written by Republicans.

    Also, you typed all of that and still didn't comment on Trump's new change in terms of ignoring certain groups of undocumented
