  2. Let me see if I can answer without falling out of my chair laughing at the awesome liberal education you received as a teasipper. 🤣 The U.S. imports 60% of it's fruit and 40% of it's vegetables. The major importer is Mexico. The U.S. issues roughly 500,000 H2A Visas (temporary farm worker visas) each year. There is no maximum allowable, and the number is set based on requests from the U.S. agricultural businesses themselves, so it fluctuates. There are approximately 2.4 million farmworkers employed each year in the U.S. Thirty percent are U.S. citizens, the aforementioned 500,000+ are here legally, which leaves about 1 million--give or take--illegal migrants. It would take an awful lot of crop harvesting to make up for a negative cost of $65,000 per illegal immigrant to even come close to breaking even on outlays. I think the cost of your fruits and vegetables would be more impacted by a 10% tariff than any loss of harvesting due to lack of illegal labor. Still, that's a heckuva lot of guacamole.

  4. Come on man.......This is a pro-immigration propaganda organization. New American Economy and the American Immigration Council have merged to form a unified organization that will empower newcomers from arrival to citizenship to full belonging in community. Together, we will strive to build a stronger America for all.

  6. Yeah I'm glad they brought that deduction back, just wish it was higher than $300/$150. Same with the $300 educator expense adjustment. Most teachers pay significantly more than that to outfit their classrooms. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

  11. Would like to hear from the HF folks. HF seems to have lost the most starters to graduation of all the teams in the district.

  12. So, you go from 1.39 to ? You need to have a sizable investment portfolio for this to really hit your nonprofit. We’re talking in the millions to billions range. I haven’t read the numbers. But, if you say triple, that’s still only about 5% tax on investment income. As a nonprofit private foundation charity, how much investment income is needed? Is there a need to sit on that much cash? I thought the purpose of a charity was to provide support by giving? Not make income. I understand operating costs as I started and ran a nonprofit for years. But, my goodness. Will need to apportion out more carefully. That’s if this even stays in the final Bill. Note: After reading the proposed changes, a private nonprofit will still pay 1.39% on investments up to $50 Million. That’s a sizable investment portfolio. Not sure you’re gonna get much sympathy from Joe/Jane Smith who will have their taxes go up a much higher pct. when they’re barely getting by and you crying about paying—at most—10% on BILLIONS of investment income when you’re a tax advantaged nonprofit charity. That’s still less than the 12% most middle income folks pay, and most will never see a million in their lifetimes. But, many still probably give to charities. There may be many things not to like about this proposal. I haven’t read it all yet. But, I’m not sure this one is a biggie to the majority. This one strikes me as tone deaf…

    With 100% certainty? No. But I do know many teams do bear crawls on their turf fields and I have never heard of any athlete complaining about getting burns or blisters from the turf. The likelihood of someone getting burns or blisters from bear crawls on a track are much much higher than doing that on any turf field. I think most folks would understand that difference. But I see that if one person got burns or blisters from bear crawls on turf while 100's got it while on a track, you would see it as the same. The point being, if that activity had to be a choice, then it would have been much more sensible to do that activity on the field and not the track. If you cannot see that, then I can't help you.

    Incredible logic: you can "injure kids and as long as the injuries eventually heal", everything is fine.

    Mr Falcon has done nothing more than address your questions. The question was asked previously was “what could he potentially be charged with”. The answer was “child endangerment”. You are somehow stuck on the fact that the incident is “unintentional”, intention is not required for child endangerment to be applied. There is a criminal investigation going and is not being conducted by “Mr Falcon” but instead by law enforcement and the DA. He may or may not face charges but myself and many others will not be surprised if he does.

  18. My 30 year old autistic son is on Medicaid due to his disability. Are you suggesting he get a job to support himself? I understand there is some abuse going on with these benefits but there are some people that need these benefits desperately.
