Most all of what Simon has said I have said many times on this site. Unchecked immigration can't be absorbed by any country on an ongoing basis. The US has been more than patient, generous and benevolent. The latest US stats show that:
Nearly 70% of undocumented immigrants have been in this country longer than 10 years.
There are approximately 11 million undocumented in this country. A bit over 8 million undocumented are in the US workforce.
The vast majority of undocumented immigrants come from Mexico, Central and S America (which we knew). They come to the US for a better life.
The ongoing problems in C and S America are the primary reasons they come here: Crime, Gangs, Drug Lords and Drug Wars, Corruption and Incompetency are the rule rather than the exception in C and S America.
The immigration issue has been used by politicos from both sides, but primarily the Republicans, for decades to marshall the forces and to manipulate the rank and file. However, both parties are hypocrites, as they wink and look the other way, in some part due to compassion but in large part to assuage the farmers, construction companies, hotels and service industries and the factories that rely on lower wage undocumented to maintain a profit and a competitive advantage.
And yet the US unemployment rate is about 4.6%. Simon is right, however, in that the lower wages paid to the undocumented drive all wages of the middle class and lower middle class lower, which is one of the primary drivers of the shrinking, struggling middle class.
But if any redneck or Trump supporter wants to get angry at someone, it is not the immigrants, who work harder and behave better on average that all Americans. They should address their anger at the politicians and businessmen who say one thing about immigration and do another.
To that end, god bless Donald Trump. At least he is putting his $ where his bigly mouth it. I support 100% his actions to limit immigration, control immigration, get rid of the problem children, and change the paradigm.
But inciting hatred against a group of people, the majority of whom are humble, hard working, well behaved, long term residents is abhorrent. It is vile and evil.
And when the first innocent, hard working immigrant is beaten or murdered by a drunk redneck Trump supporter after he begins posting crime stats, remember this post.
It isn't a matter of if.

I agree with every thing you said, and those are the issues he should stress.
As far as crime statistics the fair thing to say is that those walking across our borders illegally behave themselves better than Americans.
Trump is in sighting fear and hatred to get what he wants.That should disturb us.

Fair? FInd something I said that isn't fair. The data illustrate that the vast majority of immigrants mind their own business. And they walk across the border. Those you describe have a lot of difficulty getting to the US legally; I'm all for Trump enforcing existing laws to keep both of those groups from getting into the US, building a wall if it works, and increasing the difficulty for anyone wanting to come to the US from certain countries.
I fully support The Donald in enforcing existing laws, removing those that need removed and developing new laws that are needed.
But posting crime data serves what purpose, other than to incite hatred. US citizens commit crimes at higher rates. Fair would be to post the crime rates for each and let us make our own minds up.

January 25, 2017: Trump's executive order on immigration includes a plan to publish a weekly list of crimes committed by 'aliens'
Yet numerous studies indicate that immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than US citizens. One such article in the Economist (a widely respected and empirical source) illustrates:
http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2015/07/immigrationandcrime
Fox News is proud of their child, I am certain. As I've pointed out. FoxNews posts these stories on an almost daily basis. Anytime an immigrant in anywhere US so much as runs a red light Fox runs a headline about it.
This is disturbing. These are the same types of actions taken by people such as Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin to justify genocide.
If he actually posts these accounts, it will be a matter of days before some dummfukk, semi retarded redneck assaults or kills an innocent immigrant. They operate on about 1/100th of their emotional and cranial abilities as it is; a slight nudge from their master . . . .

Russia to liquidate Jehovah's Witnesses' organization

I agree in principle with Nicolau. Having said that, religious divisiveness has been the primary cause of bloodshed, class distinction, gender, racial, orientation and cultural discrimination for thousands of years. Religions have been very slow to evolve because of the very reason the Russian anti-extremist laws were developed: Most religions think, teach and act that they are the only true religion, and they have, for thousands of years, been behind the chaos that is humanity. Russian laws seek to move that evolutionary process up. A lot.
The Dubs would not be in this situation of the DarkLords had immediately, in 2002 and especially in 2007, removed all literature that violated the law from their homes, KHs and that they distributed and stopped preaching that they alone were the only true religion and all others would soon be destroyed. The old men in Brooklyn were delusional and arrogant in thinking they could skirt the laws.
There isn't anything wrong with the laws. Draconian methods to enforce them will ultimately prove counter productive. But I don't think Vlad and his Impalers will get into that trap. They will take the stance that the Dubs are free to practice their religion as long as it follows law. And if the Dubs do get banned, the likely route for removing the ban is to completely disavow Precious - that they are alone in getting god's favor, communication, and that they alone will survive the End Time and all other religions and the world itself is under Satan's control. Gollum followed Frodo's bitten off finger and the Ring into the Fires of Mordor rather than relinquish Precious. Do any of us think the DarkLords will not do likewise? To disavow Precious will set a precedent that will be used in all other countries.
Yes, what a fine pickle the DarkLords are in. Between a rock and a hard place, the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
And that is most excellent.
Vlad and his Impalers won't likely kill anyone, and they will avoid prison sentences. They will put missionaries and other dubs who weren't born there on the next boat back from where they came, fine individual dubs and middle level dubs for violations and as noted take ownership of select physical assets.
All the cards are held by Vlad and his Impalers. Do not weep for the DarkLords or the DarkTower. Their arrogance caused all of this.

What's preventing YOU from stopping meeting attendance?
by nicolaou inwe all 'exit' in our own way and at our own pace but i'm curious, why carry on stuffing yourself into that stiff suit and tie or meeting dress years after you realised the truth about 'the truth'?.
they kept you a prisoner, what's stopping you from leaving now that you have the key to your own cell?.
loved ones?

I will only believe in demons if...
by deegee injws are known to have an obsession and preoccupation with demons.. this obsession and preoccupation is not without merit given that jesus, his disciples/apostles, and the general public of 1st century ce judea and galilee are reported as believing in the existence of demonic spirits and in the possibility of demon possession of an individual.. exorcism formed a large part of jesus' ministry on earth.
the gospels and the book of acts describe many exorcisms where jesus and his disciples release people from demonic possession.. ___ .
but how do demons get inside a person's brain or body?
