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!

Republicans want open borders so they can campaign on razor wire and racism. If the problem ever were to be "fixed", they'd have nothing left to bitch about. They don't actually want the immigration crisis solved, just like they didn't actually want Roe overturned. They just wanted to be able to scream about it like children so they could piss off low information voters.
Trump is just helping pull back the veil on the charade.
It's a perfect example of the dog catching the car. They likely never expected to be successful with roe and had no idea what to do when they won. This is also likely to be their downfall. I'm not sure they thought through just how many younger voters would be riled up and extremely pissed off about it.
Exactly. They want immigrants to build our houses but they want to tell white people the immigrants are the problem, for votes and power.
And also do jobs like working chicken farms and dangerous jobs that you would have to pay US citizens more money to do (and also pay the taxes on them). The idea of immigrants being "illegal" came about as a way to replace slave labor. People who know they will be deported don't make complaints to OSHA, so you can treat them poorly, and just replace them like you would any other expendable item should your place of employment lead to them becoming ill, dismembered, or even deceased.
EDIT - This article explains this better than me.
The old guard doesn't want those things, but the problem is that if you rant about problems you don't want to solve because they're politically useful, eventually people will start to believe you. The McConnells want to use the threat of immigrants to get elected and pass Conservative bills; the Marj Greenes want to "solve" it, preferably finally.
The right wing sure is fond of their final solutions.
That's what we said about Roe as well. They will always find some new way to manufacture outrage even after they get their way.
