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!

Is no one reading the article? It's about immigrants that enter illegally. Not legal immigrants.
I mean, anyone that agrees with statements like “poisoning the blood” will assume every brown person is an illegal immigrant (with very very few exceptions who will be described as ‘one of the good ones’).
Because they’re a racist shithead.
How is this a response to what I was asking? Are you just upset and taking it out someone that actually read the details of the statement?
And this children, is an exhibit of the classic dog whistle One that has existed and will exist for decades and in multiple countries or smaller clusters. It is a classic because it is always applicable and vague enough for the listener to assign their own meaning and intensity.
"Illegal" immigrants is the code for "too many" immigrants. I'm sure they genuinely believe they are illegal and harmful. And don't give two fucking shots that illegal immigrants are more likely to be victims of sex trafficking but we don't have a sleek white Christian CIA agent saving those babies on American soil.
No. It means those that don't have the legal right to work here. I have personally encountered. They are here and cool people but don't posses the necessary paperwork to perform the jobs they are hired to do. Such as DOT regulations.
But sure, make it about some other thing. Because you can't help but make fun of the guy that actually read the article.
If we're so worried about illegal immigrants then why do we not make it easier to legally immigrate to the US. The current wait time for an immigrant with a sponsor already in the US is between 5 and 10 years. People fleeing violence can't wait 1 year much less 10. If the US were serious about controlling illegal immigration they would make a viable and expedient path to citizenry for all that come to our borders.
Well I think there are many reasons. First off, it's a logistical nightmare. It's not as simple as a person applies and are accepted. How does that protect us from criminals? The Mexican Mafia is no joke. You don't think they would exploit that?
Secondly, multiply that by 400. Because everyone from every country thinks the US has it the best. For many reasons. Including Hollywood.
