no. you're across the mexican border, in mexico. and you download a phone app. then schedule an appointment at a border crossing checkpoint. then you have a meeting and get screened, then you're let legally into the US.

at least that was the path for the majority of those pardoned. some minority percent were illegals, then pardoned. but that's a minority. we've taken in about as many afghans and ukrainians as we have pardoned illegals. the far larger number is the amount we let in legally.





I dunno about you my friend, but back when I went to school... innocent people didn't "need" to be pardoned.

in reality those who use the CBP One app aren't being given pardons, they're given waivers. those who did cross illegally then apply are given pardons, not waivers.

so something like 25-30% are being pardoned, 70-75% waivers.

basically you're being semantic just to be 30% correct lol. those numbers are only good in baseball.

Your math teacher is rolling over in his or her grave... if they're in one. :D

As well he should have. You MUST show your work!
This is training for the day you discover anti-gravity and are attempting to write a proof. :D

its not my fault most people are awful at mental math and teachers need to see the work to better instruct kids on where they went wrong.

im a mechanical engineer now. no one cares about my work unless something fails mechanically. as it should be.

Your "opinion" has been noted.
Have you bought your burka, yet?


It's no an opinion it's fact.

Big employers absolutely use undocumented immigrants, this is not a matter of opinion.

Remember Texas during the Central Texas building boom. It wasent Americans moving building materials, it wasn't Americans putting in 12-14 hour work days for sub 100 bucks.

Long hours, low pay, illegals have been the backbone of building in Texas.

You might not like it but you would legitimately have to just close your eyes driving down the road to not accept it.


We go down and recruit them to come up to Canada for the same thing. I come from agriculture land and every major farming name brings thousands in per season because you don't even have to pay minimum wage. We put them in trailers / employee row camps and pay by the bushal
Or flat. It's cheaper than minimum wage and they work 12 hour days in the sun with no complaint.

Right up until the time you write a proof. Then, they care. :)

if i wanted to be a scientist, researcher, or professor i'd have needed to start 10 years ago. i think im safe.

i'd rather do calculations for things that actually matter than pretend math for stuff that 99 times out of 100 lives only on a page.
