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.

I remember my entire life up before this Haitian thing, Republicans would always say "we like legal immigrants, we want fewer illegal immigrants." Even though they would actively try to reduce the number of new legal immigrants too. Now they're full on supporting deporting the legal immigrants too.
You'd think that would be alarming for anyone whose parents weren't born here, but it barely seems to register.
None of this is new, ICE was targeting US citizens under trump last time too

How many of trump’s supporters can say their ancestry dates to before the establishment of the United States? The irony is lost on these people.
They are who "First they came" was written about..
it was always a lie about 'legal immigrants'. theyve spent 70 years making it practically impossible to become a legal immigrant. because racism.
More than 70. Basically right back to the post civil war era. Around 1880 we started really trying to close the doors to people we considered understandable. Then in 1924 they introduced the quota system to really limit immigration.
As if your parents birthrights will matter in the end. I mean if it goes all Nazi.
