Trump 'authorizing Full Force, if necessary' as military deploys to another US city

[Sky727]

I’m not so sure about that… some of them genuinely believe ICE shouldn’t be deporting undocumented immigrants that Biden let in.

Kicking them out just makes America look wishy washy... like we can’t decide what we really stand for, especially since Biden open the border to begin with. It's open... it's shut... it's open... its' shut.   

Merica 

When one idiot is disposed of after the majority realize he or she was really bad for everyone's future then when the next person gets in it is time for a change ....or they too will be disposed ....

Trump really does get on my nerves with his N.Y. way of talking but his policies and the direction he is trying to steer the country in has myself and the majority of America's support.... Disagree then look at the pole number and you will see who has the short end of the stick.   

Pete Hegseth is what the military needed and Trump and his cabinet is what America needed....Simple dynamics  unless you are Antifa or some other funded branch of the George Soros Anarchist/Communist party.

Or unless you're someone who has noticed that both American political parties constantly twist the truth to suit their agendas, and what they cannot twist they deny, and what they cannot deny they lie about, and what they cannot lie about they ignore, and what cannot be ignored they attempt to censor, and the last thing America needs is to have the military be involved with enacting any domestic agenda advanced by such means.

Reminds of WWE..."he's the bad guy."
Biden’s the heel... Trump’s the face, and don’t forget Trump’s in the WWE Hall of Fame. 

Politics in America is just WWE in suits… scripted to suit their agenda.

So, when you learn something is obsessively wrong for yourself, do you keep doing it, just because you don't want to look wishy-washy?

It's pretty much how any political apparatus works in any country, to support its particular agenda

Still doesn't mean we have to keep the undocumented let in by previous administrations...

Let's remember that Trump has deported fewer numbers than Clinton, Bush, and Obama. Like 5 times as many

The estimated 2.5 million is a drop in the bucket, but it eases the strain on the infrastructure put on all immigrant communities, especially along the border.

Your wishy washy is McAllen, Texas, and many other border communities' momentary reprieve from the flood of people to thier small communities

Nah... McAllen, Texas "crisis" is just D.C. spin for the cameras... 

Locals cross the border all the time for shopping, work, family visits, or medical care. There’s a cultural back and forth at the border that goes back several generations, way before we were born... nothing new. 

A U.S. citizen can literally walk across into Reynosa, Mexico, and back without an ID check. That’s normal life down there.

McAllen’s always been like that... people walk across daily. The "crisis" is just theater. Same with poll numbers… fake to keep the everyone worked up.

The real show is in D.C... selling polls and fear...

Nah, no doubt we have traveled different paths and life experiences. McAllen was beautiful in the 80s and 90s, safe and relatively clean, and it still had plenty of immigrants and immigration, then meth and human trafficking, and the like became more prevalent.

In the last 5 years, thefts, rapes, and murders per 100,000 in McAllen proper rival the US average...

Property crime is off the charts

Now wait a second... LOL

McAllen’s 2024 crime index = 139. That’s 1.7 times LOWER than the U.S. average. Crime rate fell 4% from 2023 to 2024. Homicides dropped from 8 to 4.

Funny how the "crisis" disappears once you actually check the numbers...

And McAllen’s population has expanded since the 80s... ( pop these numbers in: 61.09757, -147.05437 ): https://earthengine.google.com/timelapse/  

If anything, the data proves the "crisis" is manufactured drama…

Yeah if you say so man... like I said, different life experiences... my point is a little more nuanced

Before COVID hit, one of our sales territories included McAllen TX.

We had 7 or more retail clients in McAllen and the surrounding areas from the late 90s to when COVID hit. Now it's 3 

We would usually see them in person at our markets and or in their retail locations once or twice a year, and talk on the phone throughout the year.

Local Economy was always a topic of conversation.

It's not even violent crime, the skyrocketing, property crime ALONE increases insurance rates, WHICH absolutely kills commerce several ways 
 

High property crime in a community—encompassing offenses like burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and vandalism—leads to several relevant conclusions based on criminological research, economic impacts, and social dynamics. Below, I outline key conclusions, supported by general trends and insights from available data, while keeping the response concise yet comprehensive.
1. Economic Impacts

• Financial Losses: Property crime results in significant economic costs for victims, including stolen goods, property damage, and repair expenses. For example, the FBI’s 2023 Uniform Crime Report estimated the average loss per burglary at $2,932 and per larceny-theft at $1,263.
  
• Increased Insurance Premiums: High property crime rates often lead to higher homeowners’ and renters’ insurance premiums in affected areas, as insurers adjust rates to account for risk.
  
• Reduced Property Values: Persistent property crime can depress real estate values, as potential buyers perceive the area as unsafe, impacting local economic stability.
  

2. Social and Behavioral Effects

• Eroded Community Trust: Residents may feel less secure, leading to reduced social cohesion. Fear of victimization can discourage community engagement, such as participation in local events or neighborly interactions.
  
• Behavioral Changes: Individuals may alter routines, such as avoiding certain areas or times of day, installing security systems, or limiting outdoor activities, which can diminish quality of life.
  
• Disproportionate Impact on Vulnerable Groups: Lower-income households or renters, who may lack resources for security measures or insurance, are often hit hardest, exacerbating inequality.
  

3. Underlying Causes and Correlations

• Socioeconomic Factors: High property crime often correlates with poverty, unemployment, or income inequality. Areas with economic distress may see increased opportunistic crimes like theft or burglary.
  
• Urbanization and Opportunity: Densely populated areas or neighborhoods with high foot traffic (e.g., commercial zones) may experience elevated property crime due to greater opportunities for offenders.
  
• Substance Abuse: Drug and alcohol dependency can drive property crimes, as individuals may steal to fund addictions. Studies often link spikes in theft to local substance abuse trends.
  
• Lack of Policing or Resources: Underfunded or understaffed law enforcement, coupled with limited community programs (e.g., youth engagement or rehabilitation), can exacerbate crime rates.
  

4. Policy and Community Implications

• Need for Targeted Interventions: Effective responses include increasing police presence, implementing community policing strategies, or investing in crime prevention programs like neighborhood watches or youth mentorship.
  
• Urban Planning and Design: Environmental design strategies (e.g., better lighting, secure building layouts) can deter property crimes, as supported by theories like Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
  
• Social Investment: Addressing root causes—poverty, education gaps, or lack of opportunity—through social programs can reduce crime over the long term.
  
• Data-Driven Policing: Analyzing crime hotspots using data (e.g., GIS mapping) allows law enforcement to allocate resources efficiently, as seen in successful programs in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago.
  

5. Broader Systemic Issues

• Cycle of Crime: High property crime can perpetuate a feedback loop, where fear and economic decline discourage investment, further worsening conditions that foster crime.
  
• Strain on Justice Systems: Increased property crimes burden law enforcement, courts, and correctional facilities, diverting resources from other priorities.
  
• Potential for Escalation: While property crimes are non-violent, persistent issues may erode community stability, potentially leading to increases in violent crime if unaddressed.

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence – The White House
 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY
SUBJECT:       Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized
               Political Violence
...........

This political violence is not a series of isolated incidents and does not emerge organically.  Instead, it is a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society.  A new law enforcement strategy that investigates all participants in these criminal and terroristic conspiracies — including the organized structures, networks, entities, organizations, funding sources, and predicate actions behind them — is required.

yes it is almost completely provoked and organized by a shadowy cabal of unknown actors, at some unseen level, using naifs, useful patsies, and cutout agitators, as front-line tools through several layers of obfuscation. of course. we know that. the closest anyone seems to point is at mr soros or some fbi cointelpro inner-group. but i suspect they're cutouts too. you won't be able to nail them down. much less who is behind that.

it is the usual tactic, obvious once you notice it, of pointing at an real thing that's happening, getting people to think it's finally finally going to be addressed, then shifting the target: "oh hohoho, we're actually talking about the hippie anti-police-state protesters or anyone who is objecting to overseas genocide, they're the real problem! who did you think we were talking about, you conspiracy loon?"
