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!

With a border deal hanging in the balance and the Iowa caucuses a month away, Donald Trump amplified his attack on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

While in the White House, Trump sought to deter immigration by building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, building some 450 miles of fencing along the nearly 2,000-mile border, much of which replaced existing barriers. In addition to strict border security measures, his administration also implemented a travel ban for people from several predominantly Muslim countries.

Seems like you've been manipulated by propaganda. Your response is regurgitating talking points. It's not a thoughtful, meaningful response to the questions posed to you.

I present to you things that are actually happening and you ignore it. I think you ate the one consuming too much propaganda.

Here are migrants taking low income new Yorkers food

Of course I know the play book you operate on. You will ignore it or claim the sources are bias continuing to live in your own echo chamber.

Mean while the poor and desolate continue to get screwed over by bidens open immigration policy.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, how often do you even read anything outside your own echo chamber, i wonder?

I don't reject sources because of who said it. I actually read stuff I don't expect to agree with. Then I reject stuff I now know is founded on stupid arguments...

Oh, and without immigration, America would not exist. They are the blood of this country. Just saying.

[–] Gljvf -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There is a difference between legal amd illegal immigration. But you already know that.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your comment is utterly irrelevant to the issue of blatant bigotry and prejudice. But that doesn't bother you.

In your case, don't touch grass; you'd probably poison it. :p

[–] Gljvf -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There os no bigotry or prejudice, illegal immigrants are criminals and should all be deported. They literally break multiple laws by entering the country try illegally

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Noting, of course, that asylum seekers are entitled to enter countries however they want

[–] Gljvf -2 points 10 months ago

They aren't. They have to enter at ports of entry and request asylum.

The poor and desolate are not such due to Biden "Open Immigration policy" (lmao, Biden has been continuing the same policies put in place by his predecessor as you can see here) but rather by the continued steal of resources put forward by commercial entities which have used the events of these past years to ramp-up the prices of their goods and services well beyond the natural increase rate caused by the same events (see point 2 of the paragraph "Ways to fight inflation" in the report at this link for reference).

Of course I know the play book you operate on. You will ignore it or claim the sources are bias continuing to live in your own echo chamber.

Mean while the poor and desolate continue to get screwed over by interest groups and this capitalist-centred society.

[–] Gljvf -4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Billions are being spent on new illegal migrants over the poor and desolate Biden could have closed the border and used that money and the tens if not hundreds of billions sent to the Ukraine to fox homelessness here in the states.

Quod erat demonstrandum (as it was demonstrable) you completely ignored me showing you Biden kept the same policies of the orange cheeto in place when he arrived in the white house as well as the fact that the biggest thief of common resources are huge corporations and not poor immigrants coming to America in search of a better life.

Keep talking about being stuck in echo chambers for everyone else without reflecting about yourself as it is a standard for brainless people, I'm sure you'll fit right in the crowd who will vote for the biggest threat to the democratic world next November.
