    Republicans won 2022 by 3 million votes and 9 seats. It would have been more seats, but the Dems out Gerrymandered the GOP.

    I know lots of people don't like Mitch McConnell, but keeping that stinking turd Garland off the Supreme Court was brilliant

    Not sure of the brilliance but it certainly was helpful to the nation. He would have been the most partisan SC justice.

    the affirmative action quota queen Biden picked is as partisan but not nearly as smart. I don't know what is worse-a lower intellect hack or a very smart (like Garland) hack

    I didn't question anybody's intelligence. I think what McConnell did was important and good. I think it was partisan rather than brilliant, however. I've lost hope in federal government. I think it no longer governs. It just engages in partisan politics from head to foot.

    Ah yes, everybody knows that swimming across a river in Texas qualifies one for a job at Spacex. Even lawyers like Garland know that title 7 doesn't apply to illegal aliens. Is Garland prepared to do background checks on illegals so that a target employer can determine one's suitability for employment. I don't think DOJ does justice at all. It just does left wing politics. It is massively incompetent. It is incredibly frustrating.

    NASA is not a defensive technology in and of itself. It is a independent agency. Yes, it launches spy satellites from the DoD using the Falcon 9 rocket. In this case, the US government pays SpaceX for the use of that rocket exclusively. Likewise, if SpaceX wants to use the facility to launch their rocket to send Musk's communication satellites, then that company pays for the lease of that pad. Thus, no defensive technology is being used here. That is why I said it will depend on the contract in question and whether it is a federal contract or a private contract regardless of using NASA launch pads by leasing them.

    So what happened with the conservative mantra that the President must enforce all laws on the books eh?"

    Employment discrimination by legal immigrants is a real thing. And all our labor laws apply to legal immigrants who are authorized to work under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The real question is whether they have EAD, or employment authorization documents if they are migrants or refugees, and, more importantly, if it is a job that involves exclusively civil jobs or if there is any specific defense contracting jobs. The rest is pure BS politically.

    remember, even SpaceX has sponsored, and approved by the DOL, USCIS, and the State Department certain H-1b visa holders to work for them in the past. 4 in 2022 alone.

    ITAR regulations prevent that. That came about in 2002 as part of the recommendations from the Blue Ribbon Commission on 9/11. Prior to that, any contractor who is working for the US Government and was a green card holder could become an IT consultant or contractor, maintenance worker, custodian, etc. And at that time, most of our contract work was mostly "blue clollar jobs" and IT contractors.

    What is difficult to understand is we have "ports of entry". Why aren't they used? We have "stealth illegal immigrants" and a President that wants to give them special rights including rights to employment. Laws have been breached. Maybe the People elected a dictator but that does not waive our Constitutional Republic!

    Well, it would be if there were actually a dictator running the country. Currently we have the white house staff running the country which may well be worse than a dictator since they have skin in the game.

    I Know.....the 'words Port of entry" has you confused. The reality is, you never learned those in school. You need to self-diagnose Lucifer. Don't worry about me.

    Bottom line, we don't reward law breakers in this Nation. (well we didn't until Biden)

    No it doesn’t. None of these grants for the green energy industry comes with a hiring obligation

    Sorry it is illegal to enter the country except through a port of entry. Current law.

    sure it does, and like Musk says, usually it means you can't hire non-Americans - but you can disagree with Musk and I

    It disappeared centuries ago when the first crime was not prosecuted.

    That isn't included in the law. It is a policy, not a law.

    Those claiming asylum are not allowed to work in the US for at least 150 days or until they have won their case, depends on situation.

    Crooked Garland the Felony Fixer for Bribed Biden.

    'SpaceX was told repeatedly that hiring anyone who was not a permanent resident of the United States would violate international arms trafficking law, which would be a criminal offense. We couldn’t even hire Canadian citizens, despite Canada being part of NORAD! This is yet another case of weaponization of the DOJ for political purposes.'

    Trump was centuries ago. He has made that argument, along with most of the GOP when he was running in 2016 and throughout his presidency.

    This one of many examples of the Merrick Garland - Biden Administration misusing the Justice Department for political purposes. They now are taking carte blanche to serve notice to any influential person, and those who work for them, that they can persecute you if you oppose them politically.

    Americans need to wake up and vote these fascists out of office, or our system government with equal protection under the law will be destroyed. There must be political consequences for this illegal behavior.
