Thankfully we are unlike America in that children born in the US to non-citizens are automatically classed as citizens. Trump, trying to deport illegals is being frustrated by the courts because while the illegals have to go, their children can stay - even if it is on their lonesome.

So what! Take your kids with you. This ‘wanna stay, drop a kid’ lurk is all part of the illegal entry scam.

There have been moves to abolish birth-right citizenship but, you guessed it, blocked by courts.

If Donald Trump is the “dictator” he is said to be, how come he can be overruled by left-wing judges.

That’s not the clever contradiction you think it is, ttbn.

//If Donald Trump is the “dictator” he is said to be, how come he can be overruled by left-wing judges.//

No one claiming Trump has authoritarian tendencies ever said he’s unbound by law - just that he keeps trying to push past it. The reason courts blocked things like the Muslim ban or birthright citizenship changes isn’t because they’re “left-wing.” It’s because those moves clashed with long-standing, clearly established laws.

The 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship. That’s been settled for over a century. You can’t just tear it up with an executive order, no matter how many caps-lock tweets you fire off.

And let's not forget: Trump stacked the judiciary with hundreds of conservative judges - including a third of the Supreme Court. If even they couldn't make his more extreme ideas fly, maybe - just maybe - it wasn’t because of some activist conspiracy, but because what he was pushing was legally and constitutionally broken.

Being stopped by the courts isn’t proof he wasn’t acting like a dictator. It’s proof the guardrails still held. Just barely.

A Whitehouse staffer has referred to the interfering judges as “15 Crazy Communists”. Whether they are really commos or he is indulging in name-calling, we have to realise that what used to be just left-wing is now definitely organised Socialism, organised Socialism could now have become fair dinkum Communism, whether membership cards are carried or not.

He'll, Xi Jinping has said that he likes the way Albanese does things, and that all Westerners should be like him. Embarrassing, to say the least. Albanese often makes apologies for Chinese Communist actions, so maybe ….?

ttbn,

So now we’ve gone from “left-wing judges” to “crazy communists” - based on an unnamed White House staffer and a vague quote from Xi Jinping. This is the kind of argument that doesn’t need evidence, just vibes.

Let’s be clear: judges are bound by the law, not party memberships. If they block a policy, it's because it clashes with established legal principles, not because they all secretly report to Beijing. The idea that upholding the 14th Amendment or due process rights makes someone a “communist” says more about your definition of communism than theirs.

And as for Xi “liking” Albanese - if you’re going to guilt people by association, you’ll need to explain Trump’s love letters to Kim Jong-un and his constant praise for authoritarian leaders. Or does admiration only count as “embarrassing” when it suits the narrative?

This isn’t analysis. It’s Cold War cosplay dressed up as patriotism.

Immigration is no longer serving the interests of Australia:

. Of the 205,000 foreigners here on temporary skilled work visas, only 3% have building skills.
. More than 2.5 million in Australia are on temporary work visas.
. Only powerful vested interests, tertiary education, and big business, and immigrants themselves are benefiting.
. Instead of prospering from immigration, we are becoming poorer.
. Immigrants from the Middle East and Africa are a net drain on the economy.
. International student numbers have increased by 70% since 2022.
. There are 380,000 ex-students on bridging visas while they appeal to be allowed to stay.
. Up to March this year, 336,100 migrants had already exceeded the government's budget forecast for the entire year 2025.

Sheer economic and cultural destruction.

Of the couple of million migrants imported in recent years, there were not many tradesmen, builders, electricians or plumbers among them.
