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!

I never implied those are the only options. I only specifically said I have no issue with deporting illegal immigrants, which is what's currently happening. Why should we permit illegal immigrants to stay in the country and/or attempt to gain legal residence?
It sound like a lot of people are upset that if we get rid of our indentured servants and slaves, then we won't be able to afford all the useless shit we buy constantly.
You very much did, and you very much are continuing to present hyperbolic examples as reasonable interpretations.
An illustrative but lazy counterpoint might be: Why aren't you more comfortable with putting immigrants in concentration camps? Don't you see how open borders would harm this country?
I'm exaggerating how? I stated that illegal immigrants are currently being deported, and then asked why that would be a bad thing. And apparently the answer is that the question is framed unfairly?
If you can't answer the question I dont know why you keep replying.
Let me rephrase: trumps current executive orders have led to double the amount of illegal immigrants being arrested as before. Why is this bad for the country?
If you dont want to answer the question, feel free to reply but I likely won't answer you again.
