Did you mean to say pay the owners fair market price for real estate they bought and pay taxes?

Fair market prices? LOL.
How about give them a pittance, like when Trump was able to get the government to use eminent domain to seize real estate so that he could build his casino in Atlantic City. That's the MAGA way.

Yes, i think people deserve to be paid a fair market price. (Please try to converse without bringing up Trump and MAGA. )

TOUGH SHIT! WE WILL KEEP BRINGING UP TRUMP AND MAGA EVERY SINGLE DAY UNTIL THE DAY HE IS NO LONGER IN POLITICS.
Total FAIL on your part. Get used to it. If you don't like it, complain to Republicans, not us.

Hope you're okay. Nonetheless, I happen to think eminent domain is unfair.

I'm fine, but obviously you aren't, since you voted for a guy who thinks eminent domain seizure is great and he made millions off of it.

What??? No one said that.

It's hilarious to watch people on the right clutch pearls say "moi?" and try to thread the needle around the Trump elephant in the room, thinking they have some kind of plausible deniability, when they don't.

What does Trump have to do with this. Trump is not the president. Joe Biden is. Eric Adams is the mayor. No one else. Concentrate on you.

People like Trump are exactly the problem. How many illegals are working at Trump Resorts?

You want to stop illegal migration? Arrest the Trumps and all the other wealthy people hiring undocumented workers. No work. No pay. No migrants.

No wall is going to keep people out. But if you arrest the people hiring undocumented workers and give them lengthy prison sentences, the problem is solved.

The Republican response to that solution, of course, is crickets.

Perhaps you should focus on the DEMOCRATS' response to the border crisis, which is to refuse to secure the border in the first place. No one would be hiring illegal immigrants if they weren't in the country in the first place, genius. But nice deflection, whataboutism, and gaslighting. Bravo.

It's impossible to defend a nearly 2000 mile border with Mexico. Every fence can be breached. The vast, vast majority of migrants are streaming into the US for economic opportunities.

You want to stop it? Arrest and imprison the people hiring them.

Problem solved. Doesn't matter if you're a Trump or a contractor or someone looking for a nanny. Hire an illegal and go to prison for ten years. I guarantee you there will be no more migrants crossing the border.

But Republicans don't like that solution

It is interesting that in the 1990's Democrats were against illegal immigration because it affected the wages of blue collar workers and union membership. Clinton passed strong immigration laws stating in 1996, “It strengthens the rule of law by cracking down on illegal immigration at the border, in the workplace, and in the criminal justice system—without punishing those living in the United States legally.”

Now Democratic leaders all seem to be anti-deportation of immigrants who have committed crimes. I don't understand because it makes people resentful of immigrants who are working hard.

Democrats lost union votes and now they are chasing minority votes.

You need to do both — go after employers and deport migrants who do not have proper paperwork. In addition, applications need to be assessed faster as oppposed to whenever.

And don’t be so quick to give a pass to anyone who isn’t a GOP supporter. Plenty of your nannies, landscaping and home improvement crews, and house cleaners that your hire don’t have the proper paperwork either — and no, they aren’t all Latino.

It's you Republicans that are the problem. You want your cheap labor. Talking about illegal immigrants is nothing more than a convenient political diversion. You won't do shit to stop anything.

Arrest the Trumps and the other employers of illegals and problem solved.

What system does California use?

It doesn't.

It prohibits localities from mandating its use or any other electronic employment verification system. If an employer chooses to use such a system, they must strictly comply with California restrictions on use of such a system or face $10,000 in fines for each violation, likely dissuading any employer (except those who do federal contracting work) from using an electronic verification system..

Florida is a required E-verify state for any private sector employer with more than 25 employees and for all government employers. Mar-a-Lago would need to comply. (Law passed over the summer.)

Agreed. Easy to say you will provide sanctuary when you think only a couple of states a couple thousand miles away will handle it. El Paso and other places along the southern border is waiting for an overdue thank you from the other states.

And, it won't be long before federal money heads their way, so we are all footing the bill for these people.

Amid a continued influx of migrants to New York City, Mayor Eric Adams has directed every city agency to cut city-funded spending, Adams announced Saturday.

Adams said the cuts will not include layoffs.

"The simple truth is that longtime New Yorkers and asylum seekers will feel these potential cuts, and they will hurt," Adams said.

In a video announcement, the mayor called the influx of migrants arriving in the city "a crisis that will cost our city $12 billion over three fiscal years."

He blamed the federal and state government for causing the city to make this decision.

"These tough decisions are a direct result of inaction in Washington and Albany," Adams said.

City agencies will be asked to submit a plan showing how they can cut costs by 5% for the upcoming November budget update, by another 5% in January's preliminary budget and by a final 5% in April's executive budget, according to the mayor.

A simpler solution would be to just send them all home. But Democrats would rather put illegal immigrants ahead of our own citizens. Disgraceful.

But this is what dems wanted & voted for - so lets give them more of it. They stand for illegal immigrants over citizens/legal immigrants, defunding the police AND not allowing anyone to defend themselves against the resulting crime, and giving unlimited amounts of money to people who don't want to work. So lets just keep doing more of it. The voters in NY wont stop voting dem - so lets just keep it rolling
