How about if we taxpayers pay for it, but the team owns it and profits from it?

You're no commie pinko scalawag, you are a free enterprise guy!
 
If capitalist corporate money came to Portland for MLB all the snow flake progressives would be protesting before the first game was played.
They'd want to know why if you can build a stadium why cant you cant just build apartment for free.
As all the huge Corporation line up as sponsors. Wouldn't want to create jobs to help those anarchist standing around doing nothing in this city, it would give out the wrong perception.

Ocasio-Cortez compares members of migrant caravan to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany

By Brooke Singman | Fox News
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compares migrants to Jews fleeing Holocaust
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the star Democratic congresswoman-elect from New York, compared migrant caravan members who clashed over the weekend with U.S. border agents to Jewish families fleeing Nazi Germany and other targets of genocide.

Ocasio-Cortez, who was elected to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District earlier this month, tweeted over the weekend in support of those attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. She compared those fleeing violence in Central America to those who escaped Germany, Rwanda and Syria.

“Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime. It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany. It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda. It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria. And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted late Sunday.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., fired back at the incoming freshman lawmaker on Monday, recommending she study the "differences" between Nazi Germany and the migrant caravan in Mexico.

"I recommend she take a tour of the Holocaust Museum in DC. Might help her better understand the differences between the Holocaust and the caravan in Tijuana," Graham tweeted.

Over the weekend, hundreds of migrants from the Central American caravan rushed the border at the port of entry in San Ysidro, Calif.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said some demonstrators “attempted to illegally enter the U.S. through both the northbound and southbound vehicle lanes at the port of entry itself. Those persons were stopped and turned back to Mexico.”

U.S. border agents shot several rounds of tear gas after some migrants attempted to penetrate various points along the border and threw what appeared to be rocks at U.S. authorities.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that some migrants "attempted to breach legacy fence infrastructure along the border and sought to harm CBP personnel by throwing projectiles at them.

"As I have continually stated, DHS will not tolerate this type of lawlessness and will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security and public safety reasons," Nielsen said. "We will also seek to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who destroys federal property, endangers our frontline operators, or violates our nation’s sovereignty."

The Mexican Interior Ministry said Sunday afternoon it would immediately deport the migrants who tried to "violently" breach the border. The Mexican government described Sunday's events as "acts of provocation" that were "far from helpful" for the migrants' objectives.

President Trump told Mexico early Monday that migrants allegedly threatening to storm the U.S. would be sent “back to their countries.”

“Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries,” Trump tweeted. “Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be. Congress, fund the WALL!” Trump tweeted Monday morning.

The Trump administration has said asylum claims from members of a series of caravans originating in Central America must be processed outside the U.S., and that all those entering illegally will be denied. A federal judge has at least temporarily ruled against the policy, but the administration has taken steps to harden the border.

As of Monday morning, about 50 migrants had been detained after illegally crossing the border. The exact number of those apprehended is expected to be made public later Monday, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told Fox News.

In Mexico, Tijuana’s municipal government announced it arrested more than three-dozen migrants for disturbing the peace and other charges related to the crossing attempt.

Auschwitz museum on Latin American migration: “It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.”

Cup, I just don't buy into the belief that Government should provide everything , medical/education etc. at tax payers expense. People should work and have skin in the game. I believe she even advocates open borders which I oppose. Im all for immigration but managed properly.
I know she is charismatic and am sure a very nice person, I'm just a bit more small government guy.

Why personally attack her character? Once again, open borders does not mean people can just cross in and out of the USA at free will.
 
 
If we divert all US commercial jets to places around the globe, wonder how long it will take for us to move over 1 billion people here?

That would fix everything.

I wasn't attacking her character, I just question her opinion on how to pay for things and like any young person starting a career still has a lot to learn. I do think she is probably a very nice smart young person. I hope she can make a difference in congress.
Im not for a wall, Im for this government finally coming up, with a sound immigration policy and management. Im ok with legit asylum, that is also managed well. Like in everything there must be a decent balance.
Take care

Hilarious.

She is a moron, with no basic understanding of our government, no basic education in US history, no moral conscience, and an inability to refrain from demonstrating her ignorance by opening her mouth.

She will be mocked by her “peers” until she fades into obscurity.

Hmm. According to this site there are roughly 7,500 commercial jets in the US. They vary in size, of course, but let's say an average of 200 passengers per plane. The number of trips per day would be dependent on where they're flying to, but let's assume an average of a 10 hour flight each way plus time to refuel, service the planes, etc. so about 1 trip per day. That means you could theoretically move 1.5 million people here a day. That means you could move a billion people here in 666 days. Since that's well known to be the devil's number, we'd better add a day for safety, so 1.83 years would be a decent estimate.

But think of the impact on global warming! It would be better just to solve that first. Figuring per normal that the government will screw up anything it touches, they're going to go overboard and start a new ice age. Once that happens, the immigrants can just walk here across the ice bridge. Problem solved!

Its already been proven, by the Koch brothers no less, that a public health care system would be more cost effective for the US government than how we pay for it now.

As far as education goes I dont understand why the older generations feel that they should have affordable education but the younger ones should not. When my dad went to school he could pay for it with a summer job. When my Kids go to school they will have the loan the size of a house. An educated population is in the national interest also. If we expect to compete on the world stage for much longer we need more people with educations to do so. We are getting to a point where it is not affordably to go to school and we are reaching a tipping point with our education debt that people wont be able to pay back which will lead to mass defaults.

I think as far as paying for it goes, its obvious that both of these pay for themselves in the long run. In the short run its disgusting the amount we give away to corporations, tax give aways to the rich, and the industrial military complex. If you truly are a small government guy then you should against two of those three ideas at least.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply annex India and make it the 51st state?

There are actually two issues here - provide everything - I agree with. medical and education however are directly contributing to the most important resource of the economy - people. It is simply beneficial for the country to have a healthy, educated workforce, especially in the modern economy - quite frankly, investing in people is the smartest thing a country can do for it's economy.

I'm sure you only meant that as a high compliment to Ocasio-Cortez, but if you would be so kind as to refrain from commenting on other posters' intelligence in a way that could be interpreted as derogatory, that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's the kind of creative thinking they're looking for in the Trump Administration. You should apply.

My application is already pending. They said I was plenty stupid enough, and I scored high on amorality, but I need to show them more evidence of my grifting ability. I am working on a new scheme...
