UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President

The country been weak since Ronald Reagan ran to the Caribbean to prove American might. Hatcher killed England the minute she wanted to fight for falklands war. Yall been letting defense budgets define your morality.

The next president can’t pretend to want to rebuild without cutting nana’s social security checks. Nana been living high off the hog. The retirement age should be 90.
I disagree about the SSN part. They can get money from where they want to when they want to.

I know what I asked for. I'm furthering the conversation. There was no reason to quote my words back to me as I never claimed you didn't answer my first question.
Dude you asked a direct question:

What law says it's a crime to hire undocumented immigrants?


The answer to the question is there are in fact several laws state and federal against it.


Then proceeded to make a definitive statement after that:

In fact, it's not even a crime to be undocumented. It's a civil matter not a criminal one.

thats conflating two different things.

It lacks teeth. Trump has hired undocumented immigrants for his properties. Do you think he's going to get arrested because of that?

And even that says "pattern of practice" meaning they have to show you have a history of hiring undocumented immigrants before they can even punish you. It's bullshit.

Laws arent made to NOT be enforced. The reality is laws are made and enforced to contain the minority or those not in the empowered group.

LE, judges, DAs etc etc all exercise a thing called DISCRETION Discretion means the freedom and power to make decisions using one's own independent judgment. Judges and police officers use legal discretion to adapt punishments or decide whether to make an arrest based on the specific facts of a case rather than rigid rules.

What that means in real life application is that they can pick and choose when and who they decide to apply the rule of law to. Since the vast majority of business owners who employ illegal immigrants are white, male and rich (conservative political donors) they rarely get those laws applied to them. And when those laws are enforced you can bet that the business owner is either NOT connected or not white.

when theyre not either...that means theyre FEDERALLY FUCKED!

Trump $1 coin sales spark rush at US Mint​

Full Summary
The U.S. Mint's $1 gold coins featuring President Donald Trump's portrait sold out within hours of their September 2 launch, making Trump the first living person on American currency in over a century, and the Treasury has not said when they will be back in stock.
The new $1 gold coins emblazoned with President Donald Trump's face are no longer available, at least temporarily.

The coins are listed as "currently unavailable" on the U.S. Mint's website Friday morning, Sept. 4, after going on sale at noon ET on Sept. 2. Multiple news outlets reported the coins were no longer available a few hours after they went on sale.

The coins make Trump the first living person featured on American currency in more than a century and can be purchased in the following quantities for the following prices, according to the U.S. Mint:

  • 25-coin roll: $61
  • 100-coin bag: $154.50

Dispersed among the bags and rolls are 250,000 coins pressed on the Fourth of July, with a “July 4” privy mark, the Treasury said in a news release. Featuring Trump’s official White House portrait, the coins were designed to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary.

The Treasury did not immediately respond to a USA TODAY request for more information on when the coins would be available for purchase again. According to reporting from CNN, the Mint website featured a notice on the afternoon of Sept. 2 for the 25-coin roll stating the coins were "available to be ordered now, but it is not currently in stock." The notice also said "additional inventory is being made."

Coins are first in slate of Trump-adorned currency​

The coins are the first released in a slate of Trump-adorned currency announced by the Treasury. The agency has also proposed a $250 bill and 24K gold commemorative coin with the president’s image.

Some Democrats and coin collectors have questioned the legality of the coins, pointing to a federal law allowing “only the portrait of a deceased individual” to appear on U.S. currency and securities.

The Treasury, however, has pointed to a 2020 law allowing it to mint a $1 coin honoring the nation’s semiquincentennial for one year.

George Washington refused to have his image printed on currency during his lifetime, believing it was "monarchical."

President Calvin Coolidge was the last and only other sitting executive to appear on currency. In 1926, for the country’s 150th anniversary, the Treasury issued a half-dollar featuring Coolidge and George Washington.

Neither the $1 gold coin nor the 24K gold commemorative coin received approval from the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, a nonpartisan group created by Congress to advise the treasury on coin designs. That committee declined to review both coins, arguing that putting a sitting president on currency was against the country’s founding principles.
