And half can't.
The dream was always to live like the other half.
And it still is.
That can't go on forever.
Hope y'all ready for what comes next.

It must have been hard for President Obama to tolerate having to have lunch every week for 8 years with a segregationist
When Joe Biden Collaborated With Segregationists:
“I want you to know that I very much appreciate your help…in attempting to bring my anti-busing legislation to a vote,” he wrote the Mississippi Democrat, a virulent opponent of civil rights who frequently referred to black people as “an inferior race.”
Trump majored in stopping illegal immigration during his 2016 campaign, but he's flunking the subject
Obama annual deportations averaged about 385,000 a year while Trump hasn't yet cracked the 300,000 level, according to the latest figures.
Big talker, doer of little.

Trump 2016 vowed to deport 11 million, then 2-3 million, but actually expelled only a quarter million in fiscal 2017
Trump's all hat and no cattle. The illegals know it, the Democrats know it, the only people who don't know it are the Trump voters.
ICE already has been stretched thin by the near-record influx of migrants at the southern border, chiefly from Central America, over the last year. Its record of deportations was relatively low even before that. In fiscal 2017, which includes Trump’s first six months in office, ICE deported only 226,119 immigrants, according to federal data.
Traditionally, ICE has prioritized criminals for deportation. Of the 160,000 arrests made by ICE in 2018, about 120,000 were picked up illegally crossing the border, or were in custody of law enforcement for criminal offenses. Only 40,000 were detained in ICE raids or other actions inside the country.
Randy Capps, a research director at the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank, said ICE doesn’t have the manpower to carry out a vast surge of arrests.
“How are you going to get from 40,000 to a million?” he said. “Are you going to hire 25 times as many ICE officers?”
At 7,000 deportations per month it will take Trump only 12 years to deport one million with expulsion orders
What a clown.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is averaging approximately 7,000 deportations per month from the U.S. interior, according to the agency's latest data. With unauthorized border crossings soaring under Trump to their highest levels in more than a decade, ICE has been facing a shortage of funds and detention beds, and experts say that a large-scale push to arrest and deport hundreds of thousands of migrants would be exorbitantly expensive and highly unlikely. ...
With hundreds of ICE agents deployed to the border in recent months, interior arrests have dipped. From October to December, the most recent period for which statistics are available, ICE deported 22,169 people from the U.S. interior, down 7 percent from the same period in 2017. About 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants are in the United States, according to the Pew Research Center.
To meet the president's goal of "millions" of deportations, ICE would need significantly more agents and funding. ICE's division of enforcement and removal operations has fewer than 6,000 officers nationwide who are potentially available to carry out the kind of arrests described by the president, which would entail higher risks because they would involve knocking on doors and arresting parents and children in homes and apartments. ...
John Sandweg, acting ICE director in 2013 and 2014 during the Obama administration, questioned ICE's capability to undertake such a massive operation, given the agency's staffing and budget constraints. ICE is detaining the largest number of migrants in its history - more than 50,000 a day - and is under "incredible strain" because of an influx of Central American migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, Sandweg said.
At its peak, ICE deported more than 400,000 immigrants during the entire 2012 fiscal year, and more than half of those were border-crossers who could be quickly sent home. "The idea that somehow by just presidential will the agency's going to go [up] 250 percent to the biggest, largest number of removals in its history is just ridiculous," Sandweg said. ...
The Justice Department, which runs the immigration courts, said it is aware of at least 12,780 removal orders issued to "family units" from Sept. 24 through Friday. Of those, nearly 11,000 orders were issued in absentia, meaning the immigrant did not appear in court. The orders were mailed to their houses, said Justice Department spokesman Alexei Woltornist, with the largest numbers in Houston, Miami and Atlanta. ...
Trump told a cheering crowd in Phoenix three months before his election that he would deport millions of immigrants who had allegedly committed crimes. "Day one, my first hour in office, those people are gone," Trump said. "They're going to be gone. It will be over. They're going out. They're going out fast."
Remembering the most irresponsible stock market call of our times: Jim Cramer on Monday, October 6, 2008 on The Today Show before the markets opened
“I thought about this all weekend,” Cramer told Curry. “I do not want to say these things on TV.
“Whatever money you may need for the next five years, please take it out of the stock market right now, this week. I do not believe that you should risk those assets in the stock market right now.”

Just great, like Trump the UK's Boris Johnson wings everything and is hopelessly disorganized
Now where did I put that submarine?
Advice to Fed Chair: Give Trump the finger, raise rates some more
Trump's intimidation of the Fed is disgraceful.
