Re: yep it's already started!
I have a problem with hooligans torching cars, smashing windows and tossing garbage cans and mail boxes into the street. This took place yesterday in Washington during the inaugural parade. If these idiots claim Trump isn't legitimate as a president then they need to know that the Trump won squarely and legitimately. Accept it and move on. I didn't vote for Trump but in all fairness the best thing we can do is give the man a chance.
There was a news article on the BBC last night. A BBC reporter went to a poor rural area in Alabama whose people are mostly African American. Many of them were negative about Trump, many had been out of work for a log time but I had to wonder why Obama after 8 years in office hadn't obviously done a thing for them |

Re: yep it's already started!
Yeah things have changed a bit since 1974. I had moved back to the UK from Canada in 1973 and returned to a country plagued by labour strife., crippling strikes and an economic state that had earned the UK the name "the sick man of Europe" Luckily for me my brother a US citizen sponsored my application for permanent US residence a year later.
It was around the time I left that Britain became a member of the Common Market, EEC or whatever the EU was then known as. The popular feeling was that by joining Europe Britain would benefit greatly from it. Forty two years later a bunch of misguided old dolts led by Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson managed to win the vote to get Britain out. What now if Brexit in the next few years proves to be a complete disaster for Britain...an application for US territory status ? :lol: |
Re: yep it's already started!
Last I heard, anyone asking for entry who isn't a US citizen has the burden on them to prove they'll be good to enter.
And after all this, the CBP agent has final authority, given the VWP waivers the right to appear before a judge. I'm sure there was some protest in Canada held. I'd rather then spend Canadian policing budget than DC's. |

The lower paid have already started to suffer. Hopefully decline in first time buyers will cause another housing crash.

Re: yep it's already started!
People at times seem to think they have the right to enter another country and forget it's a privelage and the officers both US and Canadian side have power to deny entry.
I dislike Trump but I can see why CBP wouldn't been keen on allowing protestors to cross and there were protests in city's in Canada. When Canadians who were denied entry or detained at the border when entering when it was known their only reason for entering the US was to protest, the Minister of Public Safety issued a statement over it. When entering another country, including Canada, it has always been the case that goods accompanying a traveler may be searched to verify admissibility,†Scott Bardsley, the minister’s press secretary, said in an emailed statement. “Every country is sovereign and able to make its own rules to admit people and goods to manage its immigration framework, health and safety,†he added.

Re: yep it's already started!
Canadians, Brits and people across the globe would be better served worrying about their own individual problems. Those here who claim Trump isn't "legitimate" obviously haven't a clue how democracy works and have no respect for the constitution or the electoral process.
I found it ironic that protestors took to the streets in Australia a country whose elected government sticks asylum seekers in a camp on some offshore island. |
Re: yep it's already started!
what was ironic was that one of the people turned away was a dual canadian/us citizen who was not carrying his us passport at the time... even worse!
another guy was a canadian physics student at mcgill .. |
