I worked there illegally as a kid when I was at University for a few months. Loads of us did, from the UK and Ireland. Just rocked up to the Boardwalk in Wildwood NJ and got a job for 3 months at minimum wage (which was relatively quite a lot in 1992). My job was selling Land Hermit Crabs as pets to gullible yanks and Canadians (there were loads of Canadians). There was a whole community of us, getting lashed every night. Great times. At the end of the summer, spent a couple of weeks in the Caribbean on the proceeds and back to Uni with a bit of cash left over. Can't imagine that happens now like. I wouldn't go to the US if you paid me (okay, I would if you paid me enough). They've ruined their country. Edited March 19 by Renton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 33521 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Trump doesn’t deserve the bad rep he gets on immigration. Just look at this offer he’s making to the downtrodden white people of South Africa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 24099 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 "Question, how can we make this country even worse?" "I've got it, let's import tens of thousands of white South Africans!" How the fuck can they implement this without being overtly and explicitly racist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go to the US if you paid me (okay, I would if you paid me enough). They've ruined their country. I knew a canny few expats, Irish and Turkish, whose visas had expired and they'd just stayed. This was in SF. There was all of the Buckley sisters from Kerry - some had got green cards in the ballot, but a couple of the sisters were thebrokendolls of the Irish lottery system, but they'd just come over with their sisters and stayed. I can't remember all their names (Nora and Margaret were two of them), but the Bad Sisters lot remind me of these idiots. They were always shit scared to go home in case they got busted on the way back in. They'd be fucked now if they get lifted for anything, but they'll have been living there 25+ years. Probably have grown up kids by now, and they'd be hoyed in one of these detention centres for who knows how long. Tbf they have been there illegally, but they're members of society there now. It's such a fucking mess what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 33521 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I’d like to see a break down of the skin colour of the people they’re deporting. Even in the last Trump round up I never heard of many Irish (or white in general) being deported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 50820 Posted Thursday at 14:21 Share Posted Thursday at 14:21 Good luck finding anyone travelling from another country that hasn't said something negative about that fucking bellend.

Renton 24099 Posted Thursday at 14:40 Share Posted Thursday at 14:40 The Newsagents USA is well worth a listen this week, about how Trump is basically removing the barriers between the executive and the judicial. It's not just Sopel and Maitlis saying this, they've got an expert explaining it too, its happening, in real time. This stuff tends to go under the radar as Trump distracts with his foreign policy batshittery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 19234 Posted Thursday at 15:11 Share Posted Thursday at 15:11 (edited) Trump is dismantling the protections the US constitution provides for all to loud cheers from his deranged supporters. They don’t care that he can now come for them too if they step out of line or become too disruptive to the looting of the US treasury no doubt underway behind the scenes. We’ve seen what utter cunts can be enabled to do in this country with its checks and balances still intact eg Mone, Bamford etc… they’re sticking their heads in the sand and pretending not to see…. The extent of the damage currently underway may well be exposed during the current presidential term but he’ll have fixed things nicely so he doesn’t suffer any real consequences…. we were supposed to be going to the World Cup next year. Might just stick to Canada & Mexico 😑 Edited Thursday at 15:14 by PaddockLad 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7772 Posted Thursday at 17:46 Share Posted Thursday at 17:46 The US immigration system is fucked. My brother in law has a green card and used to be a firefighter in Florida. He moved back to England and his green card automatically expired after he had been out of the country for 12months. Fast forward a few years and the whole family booked up to go to Disney Land. A couple of months before we flew we all applied for ESTAs/VISAs. His got declined because he had a green card. They wouldn't let him back in the country because it had expired and said it would take 3-6 months to formally rescind it. The poor fucker ended up staying at home for 2 weeks while we all went on holiday! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 50820 Posted Thursday at 18:04 Share Posted Thursday at 18:04 They're gonna get their wish of being a horribly insular country cos no fucker is gonna want to go. I doubt I'll go again.

Gemmill 50820 Posted Friday at 07:32 Share Posted Friday at 07:32 Listened to the rest is Politics US this morning, and heard Scaramucci saying that "Elon isn't a bad dude, he's just lost his way a little", in between announcing that he's an investor in X and SpaceX. This is a couple of episodes after announcing that he sent a Christmas gift to Trump with a note thanking him for his crypto gains. I can't help but feel that this is just a grift and a bit of a vanity thing for Scaramucci cos he likes the sound of his own voice. He's insulated by his wealth, and I'm not suggesting he's enjoying watching what's happening in America, but his interest is mainly tied to what it does to his portfolio.
