Lions Pride 2021

79-31 Livingston. It was over after Q1.

Shouldn't have been this close. Livingston was down 16-3 at Q1 and 25-13 at the half. They spotted Liberty a huge advantage. I'm glad they fought back and won.

You're talking about the orangefield game? That was fun but sad. I wouldn't say they live/die by the three. It sort of just flows in the game. Livingston has been bad for a while and this year they finally have the athletes to compete. This year, they're winning games by outmuscling people. Basketball smart teams are a problem for them because they can't stay focused for all 32 minutes. The good thing is the core of the team is sophomores, two are starting now and maybe the third will be back by district. They'll be scary the next two years if they trust the offense.

Grapeland is good, but not that good. That was the worst I've seen Livingston play this year; the body language was terrible. They didn't try at all after halftime. They just didn't show up. Very disappointing.

65-27 Grapeland Final.

48-20 Grapeland Q3

26-10 Q2 Grapeland

11-6 Grapeland Q1

Thats not true, Democrats have voted to provide money for border security for years. Last year, they appropriated nearly 5 billion for it and the deal that the president just vetoed and shut down the government, they agreed to nearly 2 billion. There was talk of 25 billion for a wall for a deal on dreamers at one time during this administration that got scuttled when tax reform came up. At a local level, police are trying to clear cases and if someone is scared they'll be deported, they won't cooperate. The cops would rather get criminals off the street than someone who isn't bothering anyone by working In a kitchen or cutting grass. It's picking the lessor of two evils. Immigration is complicated. Both parties have shirked their responsibility on this issue. Bush Jr, Obama and Trump each had control of all branches of government at one point and each punted on this issue. When everyone just ignores they laws on the books, then they aren't meeting the needs of all involved. We need to hold our officials accountable to fix this mess.

There already here. This is tough. I don't think they can be citizens. I'd fine and deport their parents and no more dreamers after immigration reform is passed. As long as they're being productive, working, college, military, etc. give them a green card. As for their parents, they can only get a travel Visa to visit the grown children after they paid the fine and three years have passed. Family is important. And I don't think there's a good way to deport what estimates could be up to 10 million people. If the parents want what's best for their kids, they gotta come forward, they are the ones who broke the law, not the kids. Without parents coming forward then no green card for the kids and they're deported too.

Increase temporary visas for migrant workers. There are lots of seasonal workers who would go home if they knew they could come back next years. And our agriculture industry is short on these workers. These were drastically cut in the 1960s, leading to a lot of Mexican s just staying here instead of going home. Any us born children are not us citizens because you are not a lawful resident unless one parent is a lawful resident. This must be agreed to before the Visa is issued so it isn't challenged in court. Streamline green card for people with student visas. If you graduated from a US institution, then make it easier for them to stay. Our taxes have helped these student get an education, let's keep them here so they can contribute here instead of in bejing or Mumbai. DACA - no grandfather citizenship. Everyone gets in line. Parents are fined 25k each and deported once the kids reach age of majority. They would have to wait 25 years to get a green card but could apply for travel Visa after 3 years and pay the fine. Kids would have a 15 year process to get a green card. After 2020, no child brought across the boarder illegally can claim DACA. Automatic deportation. Unaccompanied minors are automatically deported, no questions asked. Overstayed visas are immediately deported. If they have kids, they fall under DACA. Again fines of 25k if they have kids. Assylum - you must file for it at the US embassy in your home country or at US Port of entry. If you cross another country (Mexico, Canada) you have to apply for assylum there first. More immigration judges will be hired so that a hearing is held with 14 days. No appeals. If you're looking for work, apply for the expanded temp work visa. All caravans turned around immediately, no questions asked.

You support this with what data? This hypothesis of yours is nothing but a rant concocted by a kook. The federal government and various economic groups say they are a positive to society. They do research. I believe them. Having lived by, worked with and even some familiar relationships with immigrants of all sorts, I appreciate what they bring to our country. What you fail to understand that other cultures will have several generations in one household. Together they can scrounge up a living. They're not worried about iPhones or Jordans or f150s like us. They're stacking cash. They put all their siblings through college. They open businesses we all use. Hopefully our leaders will fix immigration. And this cop killer gets the needle.

They serve the time first then get deported. Being illegal isn't a get out of jail free card. Texas has executed many foreign Nationals over the objections of the native country and even the federal government.

There's no such thing as an intelligent conversation with you. You suggested several posts ago that you would dissect my post about immigrants committing less crime than Americans yet you haven't done it. I've been waiting for to this grand display of intellect only to be disappointed again. Maybe you don't understand the word dissect? The thread is about crime. Since you can't make the statement of all illegals are criminals stick, now you switched it to they're a suck on the economy. I'll leave you some information to debunk your stupid assertions. You need better sources. Why are you so stupid? [Hidden Content] "Undocumented immigrants contribute to the economy "It is not only immigrants, who are legally present in the U.S., who are paying taxes. Undocumented immigrants make important contributions as well. An analysis based on the U.S. Census and other data estimated that undocumented immigrants paid $11.7 billion in state and local taxes. If they had a pathway to secure legal status, they would likely earn more and, consequently, more of their income would be on the books. Their state and local tax contributions would increase accordingly, by an estimated $2.2 billion." [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

You make a lot of demands and bring little to nothing to the table. There's this thing called inference, where people are able to read between the lines and figure out where people stand. You keep calling me liberal, I've never explicitly said I was, yet I've never asked you for evidence for it. Why is that. Because you inferred that. And I'm not going ask you for evidence that I am because I've more or less argued the liberal position. From all your commentary, I've inferred you're not fond of immigrants, to put it lightly. That's it. That's my conclusion. How you feel about that is your problem. Anyway you promised to dissect my link. I said have at. If you're not going to do that quit responding to me so others can add to the conversation. It's the only reason I'm responding now because for once I'd like a real answer from you. Not about how I should be embarrassed about myself or how I'm running or how I'm a joke, all of which is just you projecting your fears and anxieties on me. Come on prof!

When people don't know what they're talking about but are too ashamed to admit it they start throwing around words they dont understand and deflecting. You're clearly upset I've called you out for being a chump. Im going to do the adult thing and walk away.

You promised a dissection of my source. Where is it professor chump? I'm waiting for you to enlighten me. As usual, when the facts don't support your narrative you change direction . I get it you hate illegals. Know what, I'm not too thrilled about it either. Congress needs to fix it. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] They're not all criminals.

My degrees would put you to shame, chump.

Yes they are using services, the law of the land requires that all children are educated and that no one in need of care is turned away. What does the minimum wage have to do with crime which is the point of this thread. If we're gonna talk about that, I've never seen a homeless Latino but I see lots of homeless anglos. So go ahead professor chump please direct my source. It doesn't bring the officer back or change the fact that immigrants commit Crimea at lower rates than us Americans.

I'm Gucci, chump.

I have already chump.

Debunked by who? I need sources. [Hidden Content] Whether you like it our not our economy needs their labor. Who do you think picks your fruits and veggies? Who's building our houses? Whose working in the slaughter houses. Or doing our landscaping? For the most part these people are adding to our communities. I think we're better off with more people here. We need to fix our immigration system to accommodate our labor needs.

I'm not excusing this act. Anyone crazy enough to challenge a cop is dangerous. But him being illegal doesn't predispose him to the crime. Again, hope the guy gets the book thrown at him and they.bury him under the jail.

It's a yes or no question, simpleton. I already got my answer, you are a chump. Just cause you refuse to accept facts don't diminish them. 16 lies in eight years verus 600+ and counting in almost 2 years are not the same. One is a person who is can deemed honest and made a few mistakes; the other is a compulsive liar who will say whatever he thinks will make you like him . People who constantly lie think the people who they are telling the lies to are dumb. They lie because they question your intelligence. They think you're a sucka. During his campaign, Trump stated he loves dumb people. That was true statement. Why would you let the head of your political party call you dumb? There's no comparison here, you're just a delusional fart sniffers. Or as Trump would say one of his dummies.

All countries spy on each other. That's not news. But why is Israel our ally, or rather why do evangelicals need Israel there? Is it that part in the Bible where Jesus comes back during the rapture and Jerusalem is destroyed. You know, the apocalypse? [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] I would much rather see a United Israel where the native Palestinian have equal rights. But that's for another thread.
