This is disappointing. Do you really not see anything wrong with what he said in that article. You don't detect any racism at all?
So just for the record, you agree with Trump. You would rather see people from Norway as immigrants and not people from the 4 countries you mentioned as immigrants?
What was the last piece of meaningful legislation that the GOP crafted and championed that was NOT tax cut related?
This is just a different way of saying that people are coming to the United States because this is the greatest country on earth. Compared to Mexico or Guatemala or Cuba or whatever, it's a golden land of opportunity by comparison. They're coming here because the US gives hard-working people a fair chance to make a better life for their kids and grandkids.
Nah --he said "people" - “Why are we having all these people from s---hole countries come here?”
we do not have the resources to handle a million immigrants a year. if I'm not mistaken the original intent was for the betterment of our country & applicants had to show that. I may be mistaken though.
The bolded is a great call out
No we will not be. AI and automation will wipe out most manual and menial labor jobs.
I'm sure you can find some other sources if you like, but here is an article from 2019 that talks about visa overstays vs. southern border crossings.
Perhaps you are correct. But I have noticed (whether on this board or various media outlets) that whenever someone complains about immigration, they ALWAYS mention the southern border. Those same people almost NEVER mention visa overstays, despite the overstays being a larger contributor to the issue they are complaining about.
Does trespassing make a person illegal, or is it just their action that is illegal?
Thanks for clarifying. You use different definitions than the rest of the country.
Thanks for sharing your views. I think people can be in the country illegally. I don’t think that makes a person illegal. I understand what you are saying, but I would choose a phrase that doesn’t dehumanize the person as much.
Hypothetical - illegal immigrant from Mexico is in Arkansas and is 8 weeks pregnant. Do you want her to stay in Arkansas and have the baby or get deported back to Mexico where she can have a legal abortion?
Dude. Read his post. He's talking immigrants (of which our country was built on), not illegals.
I think this gets at what people have been talking about in the last couple days. Other groups are just as likely to be here illegally as Latinos (expired visas, etc), but very little talk about those groups. We start talking about immigrants and people jump to illegals. As if we can tell interacting with them which is which, but when we focus so much on illegal, then people tend to side-eye all of them and generalizing. Then start adding in that the dems are doing this solely for votes, and it's getting toxic in a hurry.
Based on the definitions set on the last couple pages, every single one of us in this country are 'illegal'. Let that sink in for a second
There MIGHT be a terminology and language problem here.
I'm guessing that any 12 year old getting gender reassignment procedures has already taken the necessary step of seeing a shrink.
. Interesting. Because it seems the focus with that is to support and encourage a 12 year old child on his or her gender fluidity but if he or she wants to read communist propaganda they have to be sent to a shrink? Why? to change their thinking? Or to support their journey into the world of communism. I read that as this 12 year old kid is messed up for the communism perspective, but heck yeah!! Let's make sure he can become a girl!! That part is ok
Is this supposed to be a satirical post about how conservatives don't understand the process those transitioning have to go through?
It seems like that is the intent because right wing media and politicians have latched onto this issue as a front line in the culture wars, and it gins up enough outrage that they'll keep doing it, even though it's completely untruthful.
