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!

Yes, those are the only two reasons. I can't imagine white another reason might be.
Wonder how much of the "successful integration" had to do with being able to work legally without restrictions on Day 1?
Also, Ukrainians are predominantly white, which Republicans are ok with.
The Republican party is a racist organization that ought to be electorally shoved into the dustbin of history, no argument there.
But what's Biden's excuse? It's his administration that's been making the decisions to get us to this point.
Biden's excuse is the same institutional racism that is the Republicans' excuse. I mean it's no secret that Biden has race issues too. The problem is that Trump is far worse. So you either hold your nose and vote for Biden, you vote for someone who has no realistic likelihood of winning, or don't vote. I would suggest that only the first of these will stop that treasonous rapist wannabe-dictator from regaining power.
You have no idea how refreshing it is to not be gaslit about this for once. Honestly, hearing people acknowledge his flaws makes me a lot more ok with voting for him, because I can hold on to the belief that maybe there will be enough political pressure on the party that these mistakes won't get repeated by the next Democratic president.
Tell me about it
Biden is a Democrat. He saw an opportunity to both cave to Republicans and legitimize their bullshit. Of course he seized the opportunity.
I'd say that third reason is fueling the other two. Doing anything to support southern migrants makes racist douchebags go bonkers and the Biden administration is afraid to have that fight for some reason, so they ignore the situation and now we're here and the only ideas they have are more cops and more deterrence.
Our political leaders today are all either bigots or bigot-enabling cowards. Thank goodness we live in a democracy with rights to free speech and assembly because I don't know how else we're going to get those leaders to act like human beings again.
I doubt that the mayor of New York is a white supremacist, but I could be wrong.
He doesn't have to be a white supremacist to support white supremacy in government.
He's a cop.
