Next time please paste the letter content on here (as per forum rules). Mobile phones are asked to download the PDF, and we don't want to download it.

Quote:
Dear President Trump,
As Americans and people of faith, we strive to love our neighbor and uphold the
innate human dignity of each person. We are thus gravely concerned about the
recent letter from Republican officials from ten states calling for your
administration to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The
brave, hard-working DACA recipients and DACA-eligible individuals embody our
country at its best. Rescinding DACA is an appalling rejection of our faith and our
nation’s values of compassion and welcome.

Together, we call on Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly and Attorney
General Jeff Sessions to keep the DACA program intact for the remainder of your
presidency. We must live up to our nation’s proclaimed values of hospitality and
opportunity for those seeking a better life.

The DACA program grants a work permit and protects young immigrants from
deportation. As a result, many lives have been changed for the better. Eight
hundred thousand young people have received protection. Of those, 48% have
found jobs with better working conditions, 63% have obtained better paying jobs,
90% have received a driver’s license or state ID, and 12% have been able to buy
a home for their families.

DACA has allowed the courageous young people known as Dreamers to build a
brighter future for our nation. They are mothers, fathers, teachers, nurses,
lawyers, scientists and leaders of a new generation of Americans. The repeal of
DACA would end the American dreams of thousands of immigrant youth who
worship in our pews, study in our schools and work in our communities -- and it
would devastate their families. Made in the image and likeness of our Creator,
Dreamers and their families are inextricably woven into the fabric of our nation
and play an invaluable role in our society. Terminating DACA is wrong and cruel.
Our nation can choose a brighter future for all of us by preserving DACA. Our
families, churches and communities will be served by the teachers, lawyers,
nurses and doctors whom DACA protects. They will put down roots and raise
families, as every generation of immigrants has.

We call on you to affirm our nation’s greatest values of compassion and respect
for the human dignity of all people by publicly stating that you will preserve DACA
for the remainder of your presidency.

My friend owns a 300k dollar home. Last week I went to his house and he also just bought a 20k cabinet to put his 75 inch TV lol. He has no second thoughts on anything he does, he just lives life. I am much more reserved, I won't even buy chairs.

Honestly books, bicycles, trips, the rest I save and invest.


I sold my car so I am able to save more.


And I do like eating out. One of the pleasures of life, food.

There were more than 3.1 million foreclosure filings issued during 2008
We make up only 3.2% of the total foreclosures that happened in the 2008 recession.

Those 100k home the bank will take it and sell it quick. It won't hurt the economy at all.
