Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

He killed the bill because without it he would lose his single biggest campaign issue.
But it's pretty ridiculous all around when your only options are:
A) Put illegal aliens in concentration camps and prisons
B) Don't enforce immigration laws at all and disband ICE.
In a sane world you would enforce immigration laws but do so in a way that doesn't violate human rights and which considers asylum claims as required under US law and international conventions.
Nobody in this race wants to get rid of ICE though.
The actual options are,
A) Put undocumented people and Asylees into camps or;
B) Turn all deportations into 48 hour "expedited removals" and remove any claim to asylum because it's been turned into a catch 22.
(You must apply from the country you're currently in that's not the US. You are not eligible because you felt safe enough to stay in that country during the application process)
There is no option to have an amnesty or get rid of ICE.
