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!

Your narrative twisting is abhorrent. You implied that my description of overcrowding, when referencing a city that has no shelter to offer migrants, was akin to the Republican calls of being overrun, which implies some migrant takeover. It’s wrong, and either you are being manipulative, or you don’t know the definition of those words.
I’m very compassionate for these people. They absolutely deserve our support in the form of amnesty and shelter. They should be entering the country and given resources to support them while they recover from a horrific journey, and decide if they want to naturalize or move to another nation.
You say a lot about what Biden shouldn’t be doing. I’d love for you to make a suggestion on how he can address the lack of resources without the power to allocate more.
And are willing to use the absence of shelter as a justification for denying amnesty. Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
You still haven’t provided a suggestion of what Biden should do for them. I’m done entertaining your unconstructive criticism. Let me know if you ever have an original thought or suggestion that isn’t simply abject condemnation.
Let me know if there's a trump policy you wouldn't support if a Democrat implemented it.
