There is roughly $2.6 trillion dollars in untaxed earnings being held overseas in order to avoid taxation.

This is false. There are zero dollars in untaxed earnings.

The Netherlands don't have freedom of speech, though, so that's immaterial. The closest thing they have is Article 7, Subarticle 3 in general, which only means they can't legally be compelled to seek prior approval for speech.

Well, of course not. What you'll do is come to America illegally because the legal method won't work.

It's just like how the GOP tries as hard as it can to maximize abortions by limiting access to contraceptives: this is an attempt to maximize illegal immigration by making legal immigration less and less of a real prospect. The GOP would much rather any immigrant be illegal than legal - e.g. because they can then pretend this problem is caused by Biden and use it in their rhetoric.

I'm fairly certain only Congress can resechedule Marijuana - it was explicitly listed as Schedule 1 in the Controlled Substances Act. A President could try ordering the DEA to reschedule it, but it would end up before SCOTUS.
