Welp, it had to happen eventually. Somebody will want to talk politics so here it is. This is specifically for US Politics
@SeasonedRP yes, flooding the market with cheap labor, to the detriment of established and even Union workers, goes diametrically against what the ACTUAL, ideologically aware and committed Left has clearly and openly stood for, for like a solid century now. Cheap labor, and crime/chaos driving middle class people out of areas to crash property values and make them ripe for big capital to scoop up, directly benefits the capital class. They also live in enclaves safely firewalled away from the crime they very likely help foment through paid proxies.
What gets held out as "the left " to right wing audiences to manipulate them, makes an unrecognizable caricature of what actual left leaning people actually believe and stand for.
@MentORPHEUS I don't know the ins and outs of how ICE operates, and how they fit into checks & balances and such. But I see no problem with throwing out paperless/illegal immigrants - regardless of their criminal status otherwise, whether they're violent or not etc.
There's a proper way of moving from one country to another. And when you don't do it the proper way, there's usually a reason for that (criminal record from your country of origin etc.). All other countries enforce this, and throw people out when they haven't followed the rules of immigration.
I know what I would do if I were to move to the U.S; I'd make sure all papers were in order, and that everything was stamped, approved, and above-board. The only reason I wouldn't would be if I had a criminal record, or for some other reason knew I wouldn't make the cut the legal way.
The laws, regulations, and demand for proper paperwork is there for a reason. And ignoring it (because tears and sob stories) undermines the entire system.
Read More@MentORPHEUS Those things are happening for sure. I don't know if the result is collapse or continued upward transfer of wealth. But the formerly open border and tacit approval of street crime are coming from the .01%.
@SeasonedRP largely through legislative capture and outright buying of politicians by the 0.01% class. These also push the notion that the poorest and least enfranchised are who is REALLY destroying the country. Giving out blue pills to bias the masses against ever looking at CLASS as the problem.

Protesters surrounded ICE agents attempting to arrest a legal resident
this whole situation it reminds me of an old expression
we have to do it - they won't put as all in prison!
translated into
let x - million illegals trough borders, they wont be risking an image damage arresting an odd legal tanned person
one of the messages it sends is, maybe we'll make some mistakes but the job will get done, so if you are legal here don't vote for people that let the illegals in
@MentORPHEUS Why do you think an economic collapse is underway?
a lot of these criminal invaders are extremely dangerous
See, even you have bought into the hype uncritically. Trump claims ICE is only going after the worst of the worst violent thugs. But as I said, they are not accountable to their actions and outcomes. Official press releases, complicit right wing media, and Trump himself aren't revealing the true nature of ICE actual performance. One must seek out statistics compiled by third party orgs like the CATO Institute for honest figures.
THE NUMBER OF ICE DETAINEES WITH VIOLENT CRIME CONVICTIONS STANDS AT 6.8%.
That means 93 out of 100 do not count as violent criminals. THAT is the reality underlying your unconditional support for the ICE program.
Furthermore, Trump's unrealistic mandate for number of arrests per day has actually helped the genuine worst of the worst criminal minority of immigrants, as ICE and Border Patrol abandon targeted surveillance and arrest focus on dangerous individuals, to meet numbers by rounding up asylum seekers at courthouses and day laborers in Home Depot parking lots.
Lastly, don't breeze past the incident of ICE arresting the US Citizen driver, and impounding the billboard truck bearing a pro Palestine message. If that doesn't represent Orwellian Police State, what does???
Read More@Typo-MAGAshiv ICE, National Guard, and talk of deploying active duty military to city streets, all add up to a police state takeover by the Executive Branch. Normalizing it in preparation for the US economic collapse that is already underway. I showed how it gets sold to MAGA using right coded manipulation. Remember after it spirals out of control, that A TRANNY stood on the vanguard of opposition, and how far past that point you kept licking the authoritarian boot leather.
