I think you (and everyone else) have lost the thread, mate. He was replying directly to the question "why can't they just stay in Europe." The answer is "Europe had immigration laws."

I don't see anything wrong with this exchange.

Such a good game. I always wound up with a pile of guards in the basement, or a closet or something.

Arguably, you don't tell them, and they don't try to steal the idea, or try to sabotage it, or decide to build was plans that don't depends on a successful nuclear strike.

That is . . . Distressingly accurate.

I'm old enough to remember them promising, repeatedly, that the nude scanners didn't, couldn't save images.

Joke's on them though. They can't delete my pictures fast enough to avoid the trauma.

He can ask for them back, but El Salvador doesn’t have to listen.

They do if they know what's good for them.

But more to the point, alli the headlines, saying "can't get them back" are misrepresenting the situation. Trump isn't saying that he can't get them back, he's saying the judges can't make him get them back.

"Investigate" private companies for what? This sounds like the setup for the Un-White Activities commission.

I would be suspicious of any big company trying to set up a manufacturing facility. Jobs, yes. We need jobs. But the company is not here to provide jobs, they are here for cheap labor. They area here because they hope the desire for good jobs will blind people to the environmental risks of the project.

And I would expect a Chinese company operating in America to be more of a risk then any other combination I'm aware of. The American people don't trust regulations. The American government doesn't enforce regulations. And the Chinese culture, as far as I can tell, believes that regulations exist to be broken. Three groups that have no use for anything that will protect the environment is a recipe for toxic waste releases.
