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.

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!

Y'all focusing on them hoping to pump out "poor, uneducated wage slaves" or whatever, but there's a much bigger reason why conservatives want those children to be born.
With foster care conditions being so absolutely abhorrent in its current state, it's very easy for a child to get "lost in the system". Add in the trauma of being a child in that situation, and it is a recipe for disaster. These adults.. want those vulnerable kids.
The party who insist they are doing what they do to """protect the children""".
There's a business in that. And there are folks who want those unwanted children.
That is because REPUBLICANS FUCK KIDS AND THEY FUCK THEM A LOT
Hey look. Someone read between those lines and got it.
And they do it because they think it makes them immortal. They fear death. That dark abyss. Their deeds laid bare, their sins punished.
Today's neglected and unwanted children are tomorrow's prisoners? 🤔
Prisoners, soldiers... The options are endless!
I've heard they yearn for the mines.
well the boys do. Once the brothels are full of young unwanted girls they'll wage a war on prostitution or witches again too. Isnt history fun.
No.
They're future sexual abuse victims.
"Losing" children at the border after separating them from their parents is a very clear indicator of this, as well.
Sorry, I'm pro-choice and left leaning but I think this is a little far fetched.
Sure ok there are folks who want unwanted children but they're an infinitesimal minority. I don't think highly of GOP voters but they're not quite that diabolical.
I'm not talking about the voters. I'm talking about the politicians and people behind the scenes at the top who help to make these policies.
That doesn't make any sense. Politicians want the babies even though voters don't?
Pretty sure republicans got in trouble in poland recently for trying to adopt large groups of white kids.
Republicans represent rich rural fiefdoms and immigrant labor is a major part of that that can't be overlooked.
Why do you think they've rolled back child labor laws recently? This is their last ditch political response to immigrant labor.
unfortunately the ensuing chaos that happens about 10-20 years down the line after these boom events is what eventually sobers them up as the bodies pile up and the children are killed by industries, the state, crime or chaos.
Sorry mate, this honestly sounds like a bit of a crazy rant. Can you link me something about the push kids?
which part?
Sorry, I meant the polish kids
Apparently its a little crazier than I remember, Matt Shea was a washington state politician, the orphans are ukranian:

Sure ok. Clearly that's the work of a lone nutter rather than "republicans".
Sure but I don't think he's an atypical "lone nutter" in eastern washington. He believes a lot of things regular republicans believe and is just acting on them more than most.
Does this apply to infants?
To a degree, but infants are much easier to place.
