The discussion starts with thehunmonkgroup correcting the assertion that the border policy is Kamala Harris’ responsibility, highlighting that it is Biden’s policy.... Mostly from memory. I remember her being declared the Immigration Czar, and then later I remember people criticizing the failures of the policies the last few years (with immigration increasing dramatically compared to Trump or Obama years), and then I remember this whole meme of... OK, I dug further. This is the transcript from the briefing where Harris was given her role: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/03/24/remarks-by-president-biden-and-vice-president-harris-in-a-meeting-on-immigration/ These seem to be the important... - Mo Jeffreys...
Sadly, if there were no paid agitators assaulting ICE agents, there would be no need to bring in border patrol agents in the first place. The sad reality is the the state and local officials are not cooperating with ICE, which makes the job more difficult, and the things are... - joshuasw1979...
I'm trying to figure out if you are comparing ICE detaining illegal immigrants to the Holocaust? There is no comparison. I for one feel for the men and women of ICE. They are doing a job that needs to be done. Our country has been invaded.... - KarenECrabb...
Without having a proper ID, how would anyone know if a non citizen is voting? The question suggesting if it really makes a difference is laughable. What party caters to the non citizens? What party let them in unvetted and en masse?... What can a country ask of its immigrants?: Civic minimalists
The floor is enough The United States Constitution does not contain the word "assimilate." The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees equal protection. The First Amendment prohibits establishing religion.

The line from 1905 In 1905, France stripped the Catholic Church of its property, its role in education, and its claim on civic life. Brutal, necessary, and it worked. Within two generations, France built a civic identity that did not depend on which God you prayed to on Sunday.... I would appreciate it if this wasn't signed as if all the United States citizens ascribe to it,. Because the last i checked i am a United States citizen and although this letter tries to us complimentary language to cover its purpose, ts purpose is reprehensible.... Half a million people collect double food stamps. Another 200,000 are dead. Shouldn’t we be doing more to ensure the truly hungry are fed first?
r/economy - Half a million people collect double food stamps. Another 200,000 are dead. Shouldn’t we be doing more to ensure the truly hungry are fed first? Photo above - grilled cheese was the 2nd most popular public school cafeteria lunch where I briefly worked.... What are borders actually for?: Communitarians
What a place owes My grandmother came to this country in 1951. Took the bus to a garment factory every morning for twenty-three years. Learned English watching soap operas. She would have had very little patience for anyone who told her borders were illegitimate.... What are borders actually for?: Functional borders

The trillion-dollar sidewalk In 2013, economist Michael Clemens published a calculation so large it sounded like satire.

The body count Four hundred thirty-seven. Migrant bodies recovered by the Border Patrol’s Missing Migrant Program in fiscal year 2022 — the highest on record. The open borders camp uses that number against us. They should not.... What are borders actually for?: The Story
The invisible line Describe a border crossing to someone who has never seen one. A line, usually invisible, sometimes marked by a river or a fence or a man in a booth. On one side, a set of laws. On the other, a different set.... - Kevinnj...
