Here is my original post from 4 days ago:
"*It is very easy to forget the hell that some of our fellow Americans in North Carolina are still induring EVERY day and night since Hurricane Helene struck them in late September 2024. It's COLD outside! We Pearl Jam fans are a relatively well-off group (witness the recent success of the "Mystery Bag" sales at, I believe, $80. a pop, with many people buying multiple bags). There are many ways that YOU can help today. I use and recommend www.samaritanspurse.org. to donate, but please choose whichever mode you are comfortable with and donate today. THANK YOU in advance!"

 Quote
OK, you don't like Samaritan's Purse. That's fine.
So please, be helpful and tell us how you are going to donate, so others here may follow suit.
Thank you very much for your generousity!

You good with this Jose?  I’m not.  There are people in Western North Carolina living in tents.  Why is this acceptable to you?

I live in NYC and I am ok with this. The people need somewhere to live so they don't have to live on the streets. They need help getting on their feet when they first come here. Maybe, in North Carolina they can open a hotel for their people as well so they don't have to live in tents. There are a lot of foreign investors in NYC real estate, so I doubt this is the only building where rent is being paid to a foreign entity.

On a related note, this is rather interesting. I doubt that Mayor Adams considers himself a Conservative or a nazi or a racist.

This is a bit out of context. He said he would work with them to deport violent criminals who are here illegally. I don't think he is supporting mass deportations.

But isn't that largely trumps plan?
I have never heard trump or anyone else saying they want to deport immigrants. It's only illegal immigrants. And they plan to start with violent criminals. So deporting violent illegal immigrant criminals is the "mass deportation".

What actually gets done remains to be seen, but no, the plan is to deport all illegals. Thats Mass Deportation.

‘In May of last year, Trump released a campaign video renewing his call to end the long-standing constitutional right, saying he would sign an executive order on day one of his presidency that would ensure that children born to parents who do not have legal status in the U.S. will not be considered U.S. citizens.

“The United States is among the only countries in the world that says even if neither parent is a citizen or even lawfully in the country, their future children are automatic citizens the moment the parents trespass onto our soil,” Trump said in the video.’

To be this ignorant regarding POOTWH’s plans for mass deportations and immigration at this stage is astounding and a testament to how easily duped some people can be.

Fun fact: Texas is the only state in the entire US that measures crime by immigration status. And all the data coming out of the state shows that undocumented immigrants are up to 20% less likely to commit violent crimes. So whenever you hear someone saying "migrant crime" it's fear mongering plain and simple.

I don't think an executive order can undo the constitution.  I may be wrong but I think he can't do that.

Correct. I was quoting him more for the sake of motives and to watch all the people who voted for him fall in line suddenly, as if 10-12 years ago they had an issue with birthright citizenship. I’m thinking most of his EOs won’t hold up in court, then he can conveniently play victim and attack the judicial
system.

I remember him saying that. The plan was to rewrite the 14th amendment. I don't recall anything about revoking the citizenship of those who already have it.
And I don't have an issue with that. The 14th amendment was written as part of the reconstruction act for freed slaves. I have no issue with amending it to qualify to those born here legally. The idea of an "anchor" baby is so weird to me.

I don't believe I've ever claimed migrant crime was higher.
I still support deporting illegal violent criminals and many other crimes.

yeah I don't really have a problem with that either but it does seem like an odd thing to focus on...kind of a racist vibe when your admin is known to dance on the racism line

Where is he going to get the resources and funding to track down and deport every single illegal immigrant?
