Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

I think it's wise to keep our confederate memorials as a constant reminder of what can happen when one group of people defines another group of humans as non-human.

It's democrats who talk of affirmative action.  It's democrats who demand race quotas (see Academy awards).  It's democrats who demand race quotas in schools.  It's democrats who care about the first black this and the first black that.  It's democrats who think blacks need special programs and lower standards.

Republicans view blacks as Americans, not blacks.

Well said Dan.

March 6, 1961
Executive Order 10925 makes the first reference to "affirmative action"
President John F. Kennedy issues Executive Order 10925, which creates the Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity and mandates that projects financed with federal funds "take affirmative action" to ensure that hiring and employment practices are free of racial bias.

July 2, 1964
Civil Rights Act signed by President Lyndon Johnson
The most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination of all kinds based on race, color, religion, or national origin.

June 4, 1965
Speech defining concept of affirmative action
In an eloquent speech to the graduating class at Howard University, President Johnson frames the concept underlying affirmative action, asserting that civil rights laws alone are not enough to remedy discrimination:

"You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: 'now, you are free to go where you want, do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please.' You do not take a man who for years has been hobbled by chains, liberate him, bring him to the starting line of a race, saying, 'you are free to compete with all the others,' and still justly believe you have been completely fair . . . This is the next and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights. We seek not just freedom but opportunity—not just legal equity but human ability—not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a result."

1969 (Nixon President)
The Philadelphia Order
Initiated by President Richard Nixon, the "Philadelphia Order" was the most forceful plan thus far to guarantee fair hiring practices in construction jobs. Philadelphia was selected as the test case because, as assistant secretary of labor Arthur Fletcher explained, "The craft unions and the construction industry are among the most egregious offenders against equal opportunity laws . . . openly hostile toward letting blacks into their closed circle." The order included definite "goals and timetables." As President Nixon asserted, "We would not impose quotas, but would require federal contractors to show 'affirmative action' to meet the goals of increasing minority employment."

July 2, 1980 (Carter President)
Fullilove v. Klutznick
While Bakke struck down strict quotas, in Fullilove the Supreme Court ruled that some modest quotas were perfectly constitutional. The Court upheld a federal law requiring that 15% of funds for public works be set aside for qualified minority contractors. The "narrowed focus and limited extent" of the affirmative action program did not violate the equal rights of non-minority contractors, according to the Court—there was no "allocation of federal funds according to inflexible percentages solely based on race or ethnicity."

Feb. 25, 1987 (Reagan President)
United States v. Paradise
In July 1970, a federal court found that the State of Alabama Department of Public Safety systematically discriminated against blacks in hiring: "in the thirty-seven-year history of the patrol there has never been a black trooper." The court ordered that the state reform its hiring practices to end "pervasive, systematic, and obstinate discriminatory exclusion of blacks." A full 12 years and several lawsuits later, the department still had not promoted any blacks above entry level nor had they implemented a racially fair hiring system. In response, the court ordered specific racial quotas to correct the situation. For every white hired or promoted, one black would also be hired or promoted until at least 25% of the upper ranks of the department were composed of blacks. This use of numerical quotas was challenged. The Supreme Court, however, upheld the use of strict quotas in this case as one of the only means of combating the department's overt and defiant racism.

July 19, 1995 (Clinton President)
White House guidelines on affirmative action
President Clinton asserted in a speech that while Adarand set "stricter standards to mandate reform of affirmative action, it actually reaffirmed the need for affirmative action and reaffirmed the continuing existence of systematic discrimination in the United States." In a White House memorandum on the same day, he called for the elimination of any program that "(a) creates a quota; (b) creates preferences for unqualified individuals; (c) creates reverse discrimination; or (d) continues even after its equal opportunity purposes have been achieved."

As you can see, most decisions concerning affirmative action were made by the judiciary, and we all know that judiciary is made up of appointments made by republicans and democrats, and confirmed by republican and democratic senators.  Like LBJ said in 1965, a year after black people were legally stated to have full equal rights as citizens of this country, the years and decades and a century of blacks being second class citizens did lead to them being at a disadvantage in so many cases when it came to being hired for any jobs in the "good old boy" network, as were many women, later on.  You have to be an idiot to deny this fact.  I believe having affirmative action and set asides, at first, made sense.  As time went on, they made less and less sense, and today, rightly so, there are no quota systems, and no set asides, and all affirmative action programs, if at all, have to comply by the standards Clinton stated in 1995-   the elimination of any program that "(a) creates a quota; (b) creates preferences for unqualified individuals; (c) creates reverse discrimination; or (d) continues even after its equal opportunity purposes have been achieved."

and you crybaby lying repubs still act like it's going on!  good god, imagine how you titbags would cry if you ever were discriminated against just one instead of your fantasy poor little me whining!

Just to tweak your nose a bit, affermative action causes at least as much harm as it could be for good. Kids getting into colleges they have half the skill for is just one example. Let men be judged as men, who cares what his skin color is. If he is unable to do the job then don't hire him, if his grades don't meet the standards don't let him into to school. Making exception for race is racism, it is telling them that they are to weak and stupid too do it on their own and that they need help just to messure up .

 Btw the supreme court doesn't have the power to make law or to enforce law. Its job isn't to put on trial men and test them against the law. The job of the supreme Court is to test the law against the constitution in its simplist and most direct meanings. Going any deeper than the plain english of the constitution is technically unconstitutional. It is the same method by which slavery was kept and made legal.

did you read what was posted?   it has to be more than just skin color or gender that is considered to use any type of affirmative action.  why does someone as dim as you even worry about how people much brighter and with more snap are considered for educational and employee opportunities?
