    I don’t think he answered the time frame question at all so my guess is the detainees will be there a long time.

    I’m starting to think Trump is planning on using the migrants as slave laborer's. Cheers!

    Slave labor is what they are now. 
    Just listen to all the Dem politicians asking us: "Who is gonna clean your house, clean your hotel, mow your grass, watch your kids etc?" 

    I am. I don't have any slave labors. I do all of those things myself.

    Do you also pick your own fruits and vegetables?  Do you also slaughter your own beef, pork and chickens?

    They will have to hire Americans...to do the work.  That may mean they will have to pay more or invest in automation.  
    Now, require work to qualify for welfare and work able people will do those jobs.

    As of 2022/23 (which is the only year I could find), more than 55% of those on Medicaid were childlren (35.9%), disabled (10.5%) and the elderly (9.5%).  How many of these enrollees do you think will be able to go to work?

    Again, the work requirement is the able bodied and minded work aged adults in the household.  The minimum of 20hrs a week is lower than the 30hrs that President Clinton required for the welfare.

    I disagree with Trump on H1B visas....we do not need them and  employers who want them should pay a hefty fee for each imported worker they want.  And should be held responsible for any crimes committed by those imported workers.

    I know when I eat in a restaurant, I always go in the back and wash my own dishes.

    Me, too.  And when I stay at a hotel, I always make my own bed, clean the bathroom, wash the sheets and towels and vacuum the carpet.

    They are cheep labor that can show up for work or not show up for work – so they are not slave labor.
    But I think Trump plans to bring slavery back - by working the migrants hard all day without pay and then locking them up at night in places like that alligator ally. Awhile back the Trump team was saying slavery wasn’t so bad because the slaves learned a trade – wonder if history will repeat itself and say the same thing about Trump’s slaves. Also awhile back Trump was saying the T moble phone will be made in the US and will sell for $450 - the only way he could do that is with slave labor. Cheers!

    Call it what you want but it is illegal workers, and yet that normally means cheap.   It is a shame that the Dem party rolled over on the blue collar worker for cheap illegal new illegal voters.   
    The Dem party used to support the border security including the wall, and protecting the blue collar workers wages from competition from the illegal cheap labor.

    He has said that farmers can vouch for the workers they like and those workers can stay - the farmers  will be responsible for them. Does this sound like those workers will be able to complain about working conditions or pay or be able to change jobs without risking deportation? I don't care what any individual MAGA supporter says should happen, this is the policy from the top. And you're right, it could be considered slave labor.

    If we raise wages to a point where these jobs are competitive which will be tricky during a labor shortage,  that will cause inflation.

    This is why the importing of unskilled labor should not be allowed. They are importing slaves.

    He heard  the question wrong. He thought she asked how much time HE was going to spend in Florida. Which is a question that others have made a big deal about in the first term. This post was edited by my2cents at July 4, 2025 7:34 AM MDT

    The White House is his current residence.  Every trip he makes to Mar-A-Lago and his golf courses costs the taxpayers millions of dollars, not to mention the air pollution his flights produce, but I guess that's OK with you since you probably don't believe in climate change.  Do you also believe the Earth is flat?

    As we have discussed before, a President is not a prisoner, he/she can visit or stay wherever they choose.

    I will start worrying about the pollution from the flights when the climate crazies stop flying their private planes to the climate conferences.

    Climate changes, always has and always will.  This post was edited by my2cents at July 3, 2025 9:20 PM MDT

    Well,he obviously did not understand the question; I had a good laugh when I realized it when he started his answer.   I didn't either the first time I listened.  That reporter's voice was like nails on a chalkboard.

    I usually find Trump’s comments to be further evidence of his cognitive decline, but this might also suggest his hearing is going, too. He may have misheard the question, but true to his egomaniacal and narcissistic form, he assumed it was all about him.

    It could be his hearing, but it's possible he didn't process the question correctly. He also gave a long, rambling answer which was largely commonly-known information about where he lived. (Which was accurate,  to be fair). I haven't given much credence to the mental health professionals who claim he is in the early stages of dementia. However, having observed the progress of cognitive impairment first-hand, this particular interaction seemed all too familiar. I don't draw any conclusions, just wanted other takes on it.

    My clinical diagnosis is that he's a flaming nut job.

    I might have been wrong in thinking that the detainees at Alligator Ally will be there for a long time. They might only be there long enough for a quick basting and bread crumb dusting.

    Laura Loomer recently said the wild animals surrounding Trump’s new immigration detention center will have “at least 65 million meals. Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now”. The woman is almost as horrible as Trump. Cheers!
