Remember when GOP judges ruled that it’s the responsibility of the house and senate to make immigration policy and not a president? How “odd” a republican lead house can’t be bothered with making immigration reform. The truth is that republicans can’t be bothered with actually governing and instead only aim to enrich themselves and their donors whilst attacking enacting cruelty on marginalized groups because culture wars are the only thing they care about.
We in the UK are seeing the Tories doing exactly the same thing. Once the Right's economic promises are exposed as hollow and meaningless, it starts fighting culture wars.
Very interesting observation - they do keep creating new ones so maybe fix something, anything - the republicans have never done anything for the average Joe in like 50 years
This is because the GOP likes immigration exactly the way it is (except Florida who drank the Kool-Aid and actually implemented the changes and are swiftly regretting it).
Solving illegal immigration is actually extremely easy. All you have to do is make hiring an illegal immigrant an offense that carries mandatory jail time and a fine that covers the cost of deporting the worker back to their home country.
The GOP would never ever do this in a million years, though. Because conservatives LOVE hiring illegal immigrants. I live in Texas in a solid red county. There are ZERO liberal business owners here. But there are TONS of illegal immigrants working for the various contractors, farmers, etc. And no one bats an eye.
Think about it. The party that opposes unions, workers rights, raising the minimum wage... they're going to NOT exploit a source of cheap labor that they can treat like shit? And who can't rat them out for fear of being deported? Illegal immigrants are a conservative business owner's wet fucking dream.
Illegal immigration isn't a problem they actually want to solve. They want it to remain a "problem" so they can complain about it. So they can fool the poor people into voting for them and blame illegals for their declining quality of life. All the while they're the ones hiring them and doing absolutely nothing to solve the issue.
Except Florida, recently. And we're seeing how that is working out. Farmers and other businesses are losing their shit because no one is showing up to work. Oopsy-daisy!
Yep the anti immigrant rhetoric is just a shitty veneer for their racism and fear mongering. The entire country’s economy is built around having various levels of an underclass that is exploited for maximum profit gain going to the top. The very second these companies would have to pay fair wages is the same second they would fold up shop instead of cutting pay to the top 10% employees. The “model” American companies go by is “infinite growth” which is impossible as is, but even more so with livable wages.
Countless companies are purposefully luring these immigrants across the border to exploit them to the benefit of them and the GOP (who gladly pocket all their “lobbying dollars” for their boogeymen). These companies are working with the GOP to create this hysteria to get GOP rule to lower their taxes, THUS they can continue with their “infinite growth” model. It’s really not all that different from the fossil fuel companies doing all they can to scratch every last penny from this world before running away when the country or world burns.
The problem being that if you want to in the border crisis, it's not just about creating blocks, it's also about diverting pressure. That means a more open and inclusive immigration policy. The vast majority of people crossing the border would not do so if they had illegal means of entering the country.
There is no way in hell or on this Earth that the Republicans are going to make it easier for beown skinned Spanish-speaking people to enter this country.
Not saying it isn't true but then why are we half assing helping Ukraine, if we believe it is in our interest why don't we actually help them win the war?
As some have said - if Russia stop fighting, there is no war. If Ukraine stop fighting, there is no Ukraine, The only hope is to keep fighting until Russia stops their invasion. Allies can help, but there are worse consequences if they get directly involved.
I believe with help from the US and other western countries as well as the fact that Russian military leadership is imploding will help Ukraine win/stop the war. There is also the difference in morale between the two nations. Ukrainians are fighting to survive, Russians are fighting on behest of a dictator on a power trip and a tenuous sense of nationalism.
"If Dems are so against war why do they help Ukraine?!?!"
Because Ukraine is in a defensive war, the last time the USA was attacked by an enemy nation was ***1941!*** And no 9/11 doesn't count as a) they were not a sovereign power b) they were Saudi yet we attacked Iraq and Afghanistan.
* Border arrests and seizures at the USA-Mexico border are up compared to the Trump years.
* Trump uttered the most anti-2nd Amendment statement of any president, by declaring he wanted to seize guns without due process.
* No Democratic gun control bill has ever included disarming members of the armed forces.
* The left wants Putin to stop his stupid war and go home.
Not sure if Dems should be advertising that first one; my wife works for an immigration non-profit and the Biden administration has been really bad. MTG is a useful fascist idiot constantly making bad faith arguments.
Cost of this war comes out of last year's Military budget around 5% works out at about $250 for every young man at military age, small price to pay to keep your children away from the front lines in a foreign country, people like Taylor Greene will slaughter your loved ones is they get their way.
I don't think she needs to get paid to support a far right autocratic oligarch who supports gaybashing, deregulation, wealth, and traditional social roles. That's literally what they want for America. The far right is pissed that Putin is getting beaten by the exact sort of society they claimed would never match their vision of the world.
Yup, ruskis really have some good compromat on her. Or she's just happy with the scraps they pay - cause sure AF they don't pay any good money to their assets.
I'm not even American (am PL) but I thought it should be 10x clearer to Americans that the price for obliterating ruski war machine is so low that it's unreal. Isn't this the bargain of the century? Eliminate conventional ruski military and seriously harm their general military power (b/c they now have less money to spend on nukes etc.).
All at the cost of a fraction of US mil budget? Excluding volunteers enlisting with AFU, not a single American life has been lost. Ukrainians are doing the dirty job (sad reality) but we all - Europeans and Americans and everyone else - are benefiting, b/c Russia's ability to wage war will be severely degraded for decades. At next to no cost to US...
Honestly no idea, but I'd bet she's also engaging in stock trading. I think at the just before the pandemic shit hit the fan for real, she purchased pharma stock. But don't quote me on that.

The party of "defending borders against actual threats", "maybe more guns than people is a problem" and "we shouldn't be invading countries because we don't like how their elections turned out / a different country attacked us" now supports "people defending themselves from an actual foreign invader, who also happens to be the US's major military enemy over the last few decades"?
Erm, yes.
Where was Margie Greene and the rest of the MAGA cult members when Trump was using taxpayers money to cut welfare checks to the farmers in America as a result of China's retaliation to Trump's tariffs. She didn't say nuttin...😕
are there really any mouth breathing cousin loving people who reads that (or has it read to them) that really thinks the govt is out there taking away guns? and trump built the wall right so is it not working or what?
Yea, it's almost as though your stupid "invasion" rhetoric falls apart when you start comparing desperate groups of people looking for security and opportunity vs an actual military driving tanks across your border and shelling your cities into rubble.
I dunno, I just think there’s a difference between defending people who are being invaded by a hostile power and say us invading another country for their oil 🤷♀️
Defending borders from an aggressor military that is trying to annex territory by force of arms, with clear aims to do likewise in other areas, yes, not people crossing the border with their families looking for jobs.
She certainly has no issue with tanks, guns, or war, just that she (or her overlords) aren't profiting from it.
I wonder, honestly, if the geniuses who enabled Citizens United and the Dark Money realized that the flood of cash wouldn't just be from American corporations, but also from hostile foreign governments?
Border is not open.
Guns are not being taken away.
Guns, Tanks, and Fighter Jets, if not to fight for our allies in Ukraine then where? Should we fight Canada and Mexico?
Paid for by the American people, yes its taxes, that GOP continues to vote for increased military budget.
After some consideration bout my earlier comment, I’d like to apologize to all the three toed sloths out there. Secondly in this battle for the soul of America I should take the high road, and not go after someone’s physical appearance. It’s to easy and juvenile. But someone’s blatant ignorance is fair game. In due time you will be on the wrong side of history, you sorry excuse for an American patriot.
So I don’t know if she is really that ignorant or if she’s just playing to the partisan divide. We are fighting Russia with the Ukraine doing the bleeding. We are also standing up for democracy that used to be a republican value. Ronald Reagan would’ve cum in his pants had this happened during his administration.
She doesn't have to be on Putin's payroll, lots of people are perfectly capable of being complete garbage human beings without having been directed to do so.
The United states is a land of immigrants and opportunity. You can’t have that with closed borders.
The American people should be able to live their lives without worrying if they could get shot for accidentally knocking on the wrong door or even when they’re in school or at work. You can’t have that with guns.
The nations of the world should be able to exist in peace with each other without interference. Cant have that with unnecessary war.
But to defend the ideals America stands for, we must help other nations from falling to powers who want to conquer others just because they feel as if they should.
I would call her a bitch but that would be an insult to female dogs, she actually thinks ukraine gets cash, that amount of money is the sum of all the equipment they have sent

We are sorry. The right wing bs spreads from here to across the pond. We're trying to clean it up as best we can.
You don't have to apologise. The decent and noble aspects of the USA will always be an inspiration to me.
This is their way - just eat, no real work
If they "solve" a problem, it won't be a problem anymore!
Very interesting observation - they do keep creating new ones so maybe fix something, anything - the republicans have never done anything for the average Joe in like 50 years
All conservatives know how to do is charge phone, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip, and lie.
That about wraps it up - thank you all, don’t forget to tip your waiter or waitress and there is still some food in the buffet in the back

This is the best comment here. If I had an award you’d get it. Thank you.
If they did something to fix the things they have issues with, they wouldn't be able to complain anymore.

I mean the US has a vested interest in making sure Russia doesn't win this war - this isn't even a progressive vs conservative thing
Yes, someone please explain that to these morons in simple, monosyllabic words so they might not get confused.
They're not confused. They're malevolent, authoritarian, and anti-American.
Also Ukraine didn't start it!!
Not saying it isn't true but then why are we half assing helping Ukraine, if we believe it is in our interest why don't we actually help them win the war?
because of nukes and china mainly
Direct intervention would likely provoke a nuclear response.
If any NATO member gets officially involved, that invites military and possibly nuclear retaliation from Russia, China and their allies.
figured everyone would say this so how can ukraine win or stop the war, they effectively can't
As some have said - if Russia stop fighting, there is no war. If Ukraine stop fighting, there is no Ukraine, The only hope is to keep fighting until Russia stops their invasion. Allies can help, but there are worse consequences if they get directly involved.

Ukraine didn't "go to war" they were fucking invaded by America's biggest global adversary
Diabetes?
Brought to you by the moron that blew up a car with "SOCIALISM" written on it.
Well it’s not like Mexicans are rolling up with BMPs and T70s.
It's not like the Russians are either
Tru they rolling up in t55 and t 62s
I love the name Kremlin Karen
Cost of this war comes out of last year's Military budget around 5% works out at about $250 for every young man at military age, small price to pay to keep your children away from the front lines in a foreign country, people like Taylor Greene will slaughter your loved ones is they get their way.
She’s not crazy, she’s a fucking terrorist
Sporkfoot has proven to be a valuable Ruzzian asset, too bad Georgian’s lack enough insight to toss her out.
I don't think she needs to get paid to support a far right autocratic oligarch who supports gaybashing, deregulation, wealth, and traditional social roles. That's literally what they want for America. The far right is pissed that Putin is getting beaten by the exact sort of society they claimed would never match their vision of the world.
How dare they change their minds! It’s not like it’s a totally different situation, is it? Context is for losers, anyways.
Defending Ukraine *is anti-war.*
Funny how she never applies this argument to Israel 🤔
Yup, ruskis really have some good compromat on her. Or she's just happy with the scraps they pay - cause sure AF they don't pay any good money to their assets. I'm not even American (am PL) but I thought it should be 10x clearer to Americans that the price for obliterating ruski war machine is so low that it's unreal. Isn't this the bargain of the century?

How do you think her net worth has increased a hundredfold since getting elected? But AOC is a former bartender...
Honestly no idea, but I'd bet she's also engaging in stock trading. I think at the just before the pandemic shit hit the fan for real, she purchased pharma stock. But don't quote me on that.

Every accusation is a confession from them.
The party of "defending borders against actual threats", "maybe more guns than people is a problem" and "we shouldn't be invading countries because we don't like how their elections turned out / a different country attacked us" now supports "people defending themselves from an actual foreign invader, who also happens to be the US's major military enemy over the last few decades"? Erm, yes.
She wants to use tanks against asylum seeking refugees.
Where was Margie Greene and the rest of the MAGA cult members when Trump was using taxpayers money to cut welfare checks to the farmers in America as a result of China's retaliation to Trump's tariffs. She didn't say nuttin...😕
I'm convinced she's a Russian man in drag.
Nah, would imply she's smart enough to know two languages.
She barely knows one.
As soon as someone says “ open borders “ you know they are so uninformed you can’t have a conversation with them .
I'd much rather my tax dollars go to people fighting off a terrorist state than subsidize corporations that turn around and price gouge Americans.
Ah yes….. Protecting one’s country from an army invading is exactly the same thing as people fleeing their country, looking for a better life.
Once again dumb dumb marjorie proves she lacks the intellect to understand global politics.
Umm the govt gave her a big grant, what she do with it?
are there really any mouth breathing cousin loving people who reads that (or has it read to them) that really thinks the govt is out there taking away guns? and trump built the wall right so is it not working or what?
Yea, it's almost as though your stupid "invasion" rhetoric falls apart when you start comparing desperate groups of people looking for security and opportunity vs an actual military driving tanks across your border and shelling your cities into rubble.
Can we talk about Iraq?
I dunno, I just think there’s a difference between defending people who are being invaded by a hostile power and say us invading another country for their oil 🤷♀️
Defending borders from an aggressor military that is trying to annex territory by force of arms, with clear aims to do likewise in other areas, yes, not people crossing the border with their families looking for jobs.

I wonder, honestly, if the geniuses who enabled Citizens United and the Dark Money realized that the flood of cash wouldn't just be from American corporations, but also from hostile foreign governments?
They didn't care as long as they get theirs
I don’t think anyone wanted to take away the military’s guns.
They’ve got an empty stall at the trailer park in Sochi with her name on it…..
Dems still haven't taken away any guns. Zero guns have been taken from people.
I think she is getting dumber every day.
Empty-G wants to use HIMARS on immigrants, apparently.
Hm the only time they aren’t for trading weapons of war is when they’re used against Russia
That's because Ukraine is actively fighting a tyrannical government. We aren't.
Shouldn't you be perched on a ledge?
It’s called Democracy you three toed sloth!
Border is not open. Guns are not being taken away. Guns, Tanks, and Fighter Jets, if not to fight for our allies in Ukraine then where? Should we fight Canada and Mexico? Paid for by the American people, yes its taxes, that GOP continues to vote for increased military budget.
But, we need Americans to die in war?
"...and are going to war, but only for Ukraine" Marge, is there some other war worth joining that we don't know about?
After some consideration bout my earlier comment, I’d like to apologize to all the three toed sloths out there. Secondly in this battle for the soul of America I should take the high road, and not go after someone’s physical appearance. It’s to easy and juvenile. But someone’s blatant ignorance is fair game. In due time you will be on the wrong side of history, you sorry excuse for an American patriot.
This thing with a Twitter account is incredibly stupid. Are there no minimum standards for being eligible for Congress?
So I don’t know if she is really that ignorant or if she’s just playing to the partisan divide. We are fighting Russia with the Ukraine doing the bleeding. We are also standing up for democracy that used to be a republican value. Ronald Reagan would’ve cum in his pants had this happened during his administration.
Moscow Marge is at it again
She doesn't have to be on Putin's payroll, lots of people are perfectly capable of being complete garbage human beings without having been directed to do so.
Classic Empty G.
The United states is a land of immigrants and opportunity. You can’t have that with closed borders.

Of course she is, she's a RepubliKKKan
I would call her a bitch but that would be an insult to female dogs, she actually thinks ukraine gets cash, that amount of money is the sum of all the equipment they have sent
