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!

It’s about migrants. They are granted one year of asylum with free housing to determine if they want to naturalize or move to another nation. We have space around the nation to accommodate more, but all migrants are bused to sanctuary cities that are at or above cost capacity. With Federal support, we could properly support migrants in other cities and states, and properly allocate Federal funding.
Executive Orders can control the border, but not immigration reform. Biden’s options are refusing entry, detainment, or accepting more migrants than sanctuary cities will accept.
Congress needs to pass updated and streamlined immigration reform. The last time Congress passed a full overhaul of immigration was in 1986. The act passed in 2013 when Democrats had control of the House and Senate was tied to border security, and amended previous acts.
There’s a bill currently in the House with 118 Democratic cosponsors.

Immigration reform is the solution to mitigating our birth rate decline. Not forcing women to have unwanted children.
Good point. Thank you for the correction. I’ll edit for clarity.
WHAT? We NEED a birth rate decline.
He said we already have a decline. He also pointed out that immigration is the current proposed solution. Republican solution is forcing women to not abort, even if it kills them. No exceptions. Both proposed solutions suck. This is a real life trolley problem.
We shouldn't be closing borders, we shouldn't be killing mother's and children shouldn't be having kids. But here we are.
We’ve been in a decline since 1987, with a sharp downturn in 2007 for obvious financial reasons.

Republicans compare current birth rates to the 1950s when they argue against abortion rights with, “we need more babies.” They just don’t want babies from other nations.
Good. We need it.
You talk like you don't know what you're talking about
And you do?
We don’t need higher populations. What part of this is difficult for you to understand? I know Elon Musk said some shit a few years ago, but he’s a mindless dolt. The world could do with a thinning of the herd.

Now, are you going to respond like a mature adult and have a civil discussion, or are you going to insult me again?
