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!

I get the emotional appeal for many people, but the logistics are mind blowing. Hell, instead of moving them out, let's just kill 'em all. And look at the infrastructure the Nazis had to come up with.
But let's roll with it! It won't be two weeks until industry is screaming for workers. Look at the anti-immigrant bill we passed in Florida. Migrants evacuated the state and left the farmers, hoteliers, nursing homes, etc., holding the bag. "Well shit man, we just meant to scare 'em. We didn't want them to actually leave!"
Wife's an immigrant, Filipina. All the people she supervises at the major beach hotel are Mexican. ALL of them, the entire housekeeping staff, no exceptions. Imagine all those people running for the hills. That's one business, one industry, one town. Oh, and much of the rest of the staff is Pilipino.
And good luck getting a roof. Haven't seen a white boy among 'em. Knew one guy who owns a successful roofing business. When he needs some extra labor, he tells the guys to run down to Home Depot first thing and grab some "beaners" out the parking lot. (Yes, exactly like The Concrete Jungle except construction men instead of meat packers.) And he sees zero issue with voting GOP, and doesn't want immigrants around.
If they wanted to "solve the illegal immigration problem" they'd fine the absolute dog shit out of anyone employing them. But they don't want that. They want them terrified to go about town or head to the doctor. But they still want them doing cheap labor.
