As a rule, I'd say they can't rarely compete efficiently. What they can do is draw on taxes to undercut competition and often government bans the competition.

ETA: I think Mamdami's idea is that they'd be exempt from taxes rather that get subsidized.

Views on deportations and arrests of immigrants in the U.S. illegally

We asked U.S. adults which immigrants should be deported, where arrests should be allowed and whether police should be able to check immigration status.
www.pewresearch.org www.pewresearch.org

It doesn't appear to be true that immigrants are among the groups most strongly opposed to illegal immigration, at least not at this moment.

Pew doesn't distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants demographics, but it's unlikely their sampling methods are capturing many illegal immigrants for this survey.

Gee, it's looking like the group most opposed to illegal immigration in the U.S. is less educated, white Republicans.
 
Donald says he's going to stop the communist lunatic from destroying New York
He's going to save the city. He has all the cards and even the levers!

Donald's going to try and deport him isn't he?

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
As President of the United States, I'm not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York. Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I'll save New York City, and make it "Hot" and "Great" again, just like I did with the Good Ol' USA!

I have reviewed the application form for US naturalization. There is nothing on that form that Momdani could have answered incorrectly. He was never a member of a Communist party or supported communists, or financially/materially supported any terrorists or any other group that sought to destroy the United States or our form of government.

Maybe someone else can find a loophole to denaturalize him but I certainly have not. At least not on the official naturalization questionnaire.

Maybe there is some obscure law that Trump could use?

Laws? Acts?

Reality is what King Trump says it is. Besides, once he's been lifted off of the street by masked ICE thugs it's not like he'll ever get to speak again is it?
 
Zohran's refusal to show a backbone and condemn calls for pro-Palestinian terrorism to be extended worldwide against Israeli targets, may end up being his Achilles heel. You cannot run for mayor of New York City (1 million Jews) and remain neutral on such issues.

He supports BDS.
He supports boycotting Israeli universities.

He advocated for a legislation to strip tax exempt status from Jewish groups.

He was very clear to NOT condemn Hamas right after Oct 7. But he did condemn Israel.

In 2017 he praised five people convicted of supporting Hamas in the USA.

www.jpost.com www.jpost.com

Why does he also refuse to condemn worldwide Intifada?

Oh, he also refused to sign on to a NY bill commemorating the Holocaust.

He claims to only support non-violent resistance. Well, prove it. Condemn Hamas, condemn all calls for pro-Palestine violence.

and yet lots of Jews in NY voted for him and support him.

No, it's not.
Trump doesn't have to disavow any nutjob supporter of his with a social media account.

Zohran won decisively saying and doing what he did.
As soon as he starts playing into the "Israel=Jews" canard, it will never end because no matter what he says it will never be enough.
Do you disagree that Netanjahu should be arrested when next he comes to the Big Apple?

He condemned the violence, but didn't specifically mention Hamas. What's your point? I would ask you to give your reasoned basis why mentioning Hamas specifically must be the standard, but I know that isn't going to happen (feel free to do it anyways and prove me wrong).

This is just another example of the rolling standard of bigotry that feeds the "there's something not right about him," feeling that you've exhibited in a thread about, interestingly, another brown person. You very quickly imagine into existence these very narrow hoops that the stereotyped person must jump through to prove that they're not the nightmare that continuously wakes you with a startle, and even if they stuck that landing, the goalposts would move just as quickly as they appeared.

I would once again remind you that you have an opportunity to look inside and try to figure out why you feel this way, and perhaps figure out why this mood brought you to the point where you really thought there was a reasoned case for linking a boycott to terrorism. But I think I know it will never happen.
