Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

It’s official: Donald Trump’s plan for massive deportations would apply to legal immigrants, as well as undocumented immigrants.

During an exclusive interview with NewsNation, Trump said he planned to strip the legal status of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, who have been granted Temporary Protected Status.

“Springfield is such a beautiful place; have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. They have to be removed,” Trump said.

“So you would revoke the Temporary Protected Status?” asked the interviewer.

“Absolutely, I’d revoke it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.

So he's gonna send his wife back? Sounds about right since she said she supports abortion.

Can we send Elon back to South Africa? There's some sketchy stuff he did with his student visa.

Her anchor baby, Barron, needs to go too.

The headline makes this sound more encompassing than what he says. Revoking temporary legal status is different than revoking from people with green cards or naturalized citizens. I don’t agree with what he’s saying he will do, but it’s worth clarifying which group of people this actually effects.

It's all stepping stones for them. That's why they say everything they don't like is a slippery slope, because that's how they work.

Like it just happened. First it was illegal, now it's the legal temporary. Next it will be legal _____, etc, etc.

Fascism always needs a new enemy each time it has dealt with the last one. That's why no one is safe from these neo-Nazis.

Is it worth? He didn't care for what status or protection this specific group had. It's not like he's making an argument for that type of asylum. If it's mexican greencard holders he thinks are eating the dogs, they'll be next.

The headline is accurate, he wants to deport people who are in the US lawfully.

They're eating the dogs, the people that came in

Because we all know he will stop there.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

This isn't the actual point, it's about canceling citizenship for 2nd generation kids, because they might not vote for the same rednecks they believe should be running the country.

Ironically, if they were even marginally human and unracist, those conservative catholic Mexicans would vote GOP in droves, it's just the brutal, inhuman explicit racism that pushed them blue.

It depends on if he saved the receipt.

Only when they divorce.
