Economy on fire update

Historically, the US was a territorial acquirer through the Manifest Destiny period in which we had US states running from the original 13 colonies on the east coast to Washington's state hood on the West Coast in 1889. The last real territorial conquest is some Spanish colonies we picked up after the Spanish-American War in 1898. Pretty much since then the American people have been generally isolationist. We won World War I and then left. We won World War II and picked up no territory. We had areas of political influence but no where near colony status. All military actions since then were pretty much fighting communist expansion. Some people made a lot of money over Vietnam, but not the American people. Sort of like all the US money sent to the Ukrainian oligarchs. NATO expansion to surround Russia was never an American priority for the working private sector American. Our elite open border policy has nothing to do with being a great empire and is clearly not America First.

The border crisis is a result of a lot of bad actors across the board, including many American businesses. But like it or not many industries depend on cheap laborers from Mexico and Central America.

I personally am in favor of making the border more secure while making it easier for folks to get visas to come work here, while the government actually prosecutes businesses for using illegal labor. I'm not holding my breath that will happen but it would be nice.

I also think the left is in for a rude awakening if they expect Catholic immigrants to become staunch liberal voters.

you are so dumb. Of course it’s good if America is emperor.

So was Rome and then it wasn't. Roman Senate tried to pull some lawfare shit on Caesar and he took it badly.
