House conservatives prep plans to impeach Biden

Good...too many minorities in the US need jobs, not that you give a crap about American minorites.
We are at full employment.

You should ask your propagandists why they have not told you this.

We are at the same level of unemployment which Trump had, and yet I have not noticed you bragging on Biden about it.

Hmmm...
 
Health care costs have been skyrocketing for at least three decades now. The current inflation is temporary. But rising health care costs go on and on and on and on ad infinitum...

In all that time, the organization formerly known as the Republican Party has never offered up a solution.

Yet they think Biden is the one who should be impeached. "Because Mexicans."
 
Won’t happen. R’s are pussies and not enough with balls made it. Get ready for more of the same - that being that Dems will attack boldly and endlessly with no bad press and Reps will cower behind their desks and do nothing.

Tell that to everyone at Twitter :laughing0301:

We are not at full employment since the rules of determining unemployment change to make the current administration look good.
GW Bush did the same shit.

The same formula to calculate unemployment under Trump is being used now.

My God, you are desperate.
 
The problem with unemployment statistics is that the ones reported don’t account for people who are no longer counted because they are on the sidelines - either gave up or are fine with with their federal benefits. Let’s see what it is next report after all these layoffs that you will be reading about.
 
I have never understood this bigotry which attempts to blame Mexicans or Negroes for unemployment.

We had full employment in 2007, and then this economic crash happened. Maybe you all heard about it.

The tards wasted no time blaming the blacks. And then as time wore on, they began blaming Mexicans.

I often find myself wishing we did get Trump's wall built just so I can laugh my ass off when it had ZERO impact on employment or our economy.
 
Anyone who wants a job can have one.

There are ten million unfilled openings.

Keep digging! :lol:
Pull your head out of your ass.

You think a 7-11 will hire just anyone?
You think Facebook will hire just anyone?
Start-ups are laying people off.
 
The underemployment problem is directly connected to technological advances. Most of the vanished manufacturing jobs didn't go overseas. They were replaced by machines and are never coming back.

We are not educating our children for the jobs of tomorrow. That's why we find so many H1B workers in the tech industry. There are not enough Americans educated for the requirements of those jobs.

On the other end of the spectrum, immigrants are doing the jobs Americans won't do.

Just look at two of Trump's wives as an example.

No American is going to step out of their tract house, climb into their Ford sedan, and drive hundreds of miles to pick lettuce for two weeks, then drive hundreds of miles in the opposite direction to pick strawberries, no matter how much you pay them.

It's called MIGRANT work for a reason.

We have a giant mismatch between immigrant labor demand and legal immigrant labor supply. This is basic economics.

Every prosperous nation has a significant immigrant labor force. Hell, when I was in Kuwait, just about every laborer there was a non-Kuwaiti.

We badly need immigration reform. But any time a sensible Republican ever proposed sensible reform, the bigots booted them from the party.

Just ask Eric Cantor. It probably didn't help he was the only Republican Jewish guy in the House.

I hear he built a space laser as revenge...
 
Another common factor of prosperous nations is a declining birth rate. The US is now below the replacement rate.

What makes an economy grow is a growing labor force. Immigration has literally been our nation's lifeblood.

Since Americans are not making enough babies, we are going to need to continue to take in immigrants to keep our economy healthy and strong.

Again, this is basic economics.

About 40 percent of our Ph.D. scientists and engineers were born in another country, Orrenius writes. People tend to focus on illegal or low-skilled immigration when discussing immigrants and often do not recognize the tremendous contribution of high-skilled immigrants.

A new study, released last week, throws new information into the debate over foreign workers who arrive in the U.S. on such specialty visas.

The report, based on telephone surveys with 2,054 companies and projections by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and Duke University, says about 25 percent of the technology and engineering companies launched in the U.S. in the past decade had at least one foreign-born founder.


Immigrants Become Founding Fathers


These immigrant founders tended to be highly educated - 96 percent held bachelor's degrees and 74 percent held graduate or postgraduate degrees, with 75 percent of these degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-related fields. The vast majority of these company founders didn't come to the United States as entrepreneurs 52 percent came to study, 40 percent came to work, and 5.5 percent came for family reasons. Only 1.6 percent came to start companies in America.

Even though these founders immigrated for other purposes initially, they typically started their companies just 13.25 years after arriving in the United States. And, rather than settling in well-established immigrant gateways, such as New York or Los Angeles, they moved to a diverse group of tech centers across the country and helped fuel their growth.

While 23 percent of the nation's cooks and 20 percent of its janitors were immigrants in 2000, 27 percent of new computer-software engineers were also immigrants, according to a recent Migration Policy Institute study.

Indeed, the more technically educated the group, the more likely immigrants are to be overrepresented in it.
While the foreign born make up 15 percent of the overall workforce, according to the 2000 census, they constitute approximately 17 percent of those with a bachelor's degree in science and engineering occupations, 29 percent of those with a master's degree, and 39 percent of those with a doctoral degree.


As US nears milestone, a rising mix of immigrants - CSMonitor.com
 
There is no legal way to emigrate to the USA at the moment.
Wow, the lies you Nazis tell.

Trump destroyed most of the infrastructure to process legal immigration, making it nearly impossible for people to do what YOU suggest.

:lol:

Fucking liar.

You post the most absurd lies.

He ended family migration, which he called "chain migration", even though his wife's family came to the USA under a family reunification program.

He ended Chain migration?

If only your lie were true..


But tell me, why doesn't your country allow chain migration? You claim to be Canadian, though we all know you're a CCP troll. Yet neither China nor Canada allow chain migration - why do you demand this cancer on America when you don't demand it for your own country?

Oh right, because you're waging war against the United States. And we all need to be very clear on that fact - anything you post is designed to damage my country.

 
One great thing Trump did do - oh forget the stupid lies of ChiComlady - she just makes shit up - but one thing Trump did do that GREATLY helped America was to clamp down on H1B visas.

Companies like Disney and Southern California Edison routinely fire thousands of highly skilled technical workers and replace them with low paid immigrants from India or spies from China.



President Trump - truly the greatest president since Reagan, clamped down this shit. Trump protected American workers from the constant replacement by low-skilled - low pay workers from India and Communist China.

 
Neither party wants to act like adults anymore, shameful-OG

Republicans hoping to seize control of the House in November are already setting their sights on what is, for many of them, a top priority next year: impeaching President Biden.

A number of rank-and-file conservatives have already introduced impeachment articles in the current Congress against the president. They accuse Biden of committing “high crimes” in his approach to a range of issues touching on border enforcement, the coronavirus pandemic and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

Those resolutions never had a chance of seeing the light of day, with Democrats holding a narrow control of the lower chamber. But with Republicans widely expected to win the House majority in the midterms, many of those same conservatives want to tap their new potential powers to oust a president they deem unfit. Some would like to make it a first order of business.

“I have consistently said President Biden should be impeached for intentionally opening our border and making Americans less safe,” said Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.). “Congress has a duty to hold the President accountable for this and any other failures of his Constitutional responsibilities, so a new Republican majority must be prepared to aggressively conduct oversight on day one.”

The conservative impeachment drive is reminiscent of that orchestrated by liberals four years ago, as Democrats took control of the House in 2019 under then-President Trump. At the time, a small handful of vocal progressives wanted to impeach Trump, largely over accusations that he’d obstructed a Justice Department probe into Russian ties to his 2016 campaign. The idea was repeatedly rejected by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), not least out of fear that it would alienate voters in tough battleground districts.

The tide turned when a whistleblower accused Trump of pressuring a foreign power to find dirt on his political opponent — a charge that brought centrist Democrats onto the impeachment train. With moderates on board, Pelosi launched a formal impeachment inquiry in September of 2019, eight months after taking the Speaker’s gavel. Three months later, the House impeached Trump on two counts related to abusing power.

The difference between then and now is that liberals, in early 2019, were fighting a lonely battle with scant support. This year, heading into the midterms, dozens of conservatives have either endorsed Biden’s impeachment formally, or have suggested they’re ready to support it.

At least eight resolutions to impeach Biden have been offered since he took office: Three related to his handling of the migrant surge at the southern border; three targeting his management of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last year; one denouncing the eviction moratorium designed to help renters during the pandemic; and still another connected to the overseas business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden.

Those proposals will expire with the end of this Congress. But some of the sponsors are already vowing to revisit them quickly next year. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), the lead sponsor of four of the impeachment resolutions, is among them.

“She believes Joe Biden should have been impeached as soon as he was sworn in, so of course she wants it to happen as soon as possible,” Nick Dyer, a Greene spokesman, said Monday in an email.

A noisy impeachment push from the GOP’s right flank could create headaches for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), the Republican leader in line to be Speaker, and other party brass just as the 2024 presidential cycle heats up.

On the one hand, impeaching Biden could alienate moderate voters and hurt the GOP at the polls, as was the case in 1998 following the impeachment of President Clinton. Already, GOP leaders like Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) are throwing cold water on the impeachment talk, suggesting it could damage Republicans politically in the midterms.

On the other hand, ignoring the conservatives’ impeachment entreaties might spark a revolt from a Republican base keen to avenge the Democrats’ two impeachments of Trump, who remains the most popular national figure in the GOP. McCarthy knows well the perils of angering the far right: The Freedom Caucus had nudged Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) into an early retirement in 2015, deeming him insufficiently conservative, then prevented McCarthy from replacing him.

McCarthy’s office did not respond Monday to a request for comment.

The challenge facing Republican leaders in a GOP-controlled House will be to demonstrate an aggressive posture toward the administration, to appease conservatives, without alienating moderate voters in the process.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) appears to be walking that line. Last summer, she called Biden “unfit to serve as president,” but stopped short of endorsing his impeachment.

Stefanik’s office did not respond to requests for comment.

Another strategy GOP leaders may adopt is to impeach a high-ranking member of the administration, but not the president himself. Several resolutions have been introduced to do just that, separately targeting Vice President Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

McCarthy, during a visit to the southern border earlier in the year, had floated the idea of impeaching Mayorkas if he is found to be “derelict” in his job of securing the border. And the concept has plenty of support among conservatives.

“Mayorkas and Garland have purposefully made our country less safe, politicized their departments, and violated the rule of law. In some instances, they have instructed their subordinates to disobey our laws. That is unacceptable,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), who has endorsed a number of impeachment resolutions this year, said in an email.

“Next January I expect the House to pursue my impeachment articles against Mayorkas as well as Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s impeachment articles that I co-sponsored against Attorney General Merrick Garland,” Biggs added.

Still, conservatives like Biggs, the former head of the Freedom Caucus, also want to go straight to the top by impeaching Biden. And it remains unclear if anything less than that will appease the GOP’s restive right flank — one that’s expected to grow next year with the arrival of a number of pro-Trump conservatives vowing to take on anyone they consider to be part of Washington’s political establishment.

Some Republicans said the decision whether to endorse impeachment next year will simply hinge on events. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), for instance, has endorsed two impeachment resolutions this cycle related to the Afghanistan withdrawal, but “has made no decisions yet on supporting impeachment articles next year with Republicans in the majority,” according to spokesman Austin Livingston.

“He will wait to see what those efforts look like, specifically how they align with Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution,” Livingston said, referring to the section outlining Congress’s impeachment powers.

But others are eager to use a GOP majority to hold Biden’s feet to the fire. And that energy doesn’t appear to be fleeting, particularly when it comes to the border crisis, which could very well remain a hot topic six months from now.

Rep. Mary Miller (R), a strong Trump supporter who recently won an Illinois primary over the more moderate Rep. Rodney Davis (R), said Biden should be removed “for purposely ignoring our immigration laws.”

“Biden and Harris have failed their most basic duty,” Miller said, “which is ensuring the safety of the American people through the security of our borders.”

What a waste of time!

What a way to make the Republican Party look even worse!

1. Nancy will no longer be Speaker. They should be grateful for that.

2. The Senate would never vote to convict.

3. The Republicans should spend their time and (narrow) majority on more productive matters.

4. Since the House ("the people's house") has the power of the purse, it can stop a lot of Dem bills.
 
We badly need immigration reform. But any time a sensible Republican ever proposed sensible reform, the bigots booted them from the party.
During the Obama Admin the Senate actually PASSED sensible immigration reform on a bi-partisan basis and the House blocked it.

It's been a dead issue since then because of GOP opposition...
