Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Immigration was the 2nd most important issue to voters, after direct economic issues (e.g., how well they felt they were doing economically). Without seeing what mass deportations will actually do to the economy and country as a whole, the majority of people that voted this year are in favor of the shit the GOP has promised to do.
There isn't one, not really. Certainly nothing that can be done in a mere four years, and probably not in sixteen. The countries that people are coming from are largely desperately poor, and struggling with gang violence. The way to 'solve' the immigration issue is to correct the problems in their own countries so that they don't feel like making the journey to the US is a necessary for their survival. We can have some degree of effect on the gang violence by cutting the demand for the drugs in the US that fuel the gang violence in central and south American countries. But we can't do much of anything directly. We can dump money into the issue, but then you have the problem of people in the US screaming about how we should be helping people in the US before doing any kind of foreign aid (spoiler: we wouldn't be helping people in the US anyways).
