    I thought the reason trump won was the Hispanic support. That was what was so strange about this election.

      Yup. But just remember that everyone, possibly including the native nations are all immigrants. Now the native nations were here first so obviously they should call the shots.

    “Our nation is a nation of immigrants. More than any other country, our strength comes from our own immigrant heritage and our capacity to welcome those from other lands." -Ronald Reagan

    It’s ridiculous how far right the USA has moved when it comes to immigration. Reagan was a scumbag overall but was right about this. Frankly it pisses me off that even the Democrats are so far right on this.

      Of course Reagan meant [white] immigrants.

      It’s ridiculous how far right the USA has moved when it comes to immigration.

      Agreed, and I think maybe we should remove the plaque from the Statue of Liberty as it clearly no longer applies.

      “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

          Woah your saying the right is suddenly anti-immigration now? That is really nonsensical and ignores a lot of history.

      Dems, Rebubs as individuals aren’t really anything other than drones that follow orders on what to think and what to get angry about. It’s a systemic issue where money is injected into the fringes to piss the other side off and force a defensive posture and eventually conflict from fear.

      Every idea that categorizes into left/right needs to be challenged at this point.
      The left will never prevail
      The right will never prevail

      We must recognize and respond to what is really happening.

      All Empires are running immigration. Immigrants come to where the money is being spent. This isn’t even just American history.

    Yup. You guys have got it nailed down! It’s the “backwoods country hicks” (you know, the people you constantly blame for everything) that hire illegal immigrants to maintain their pristine manicured suburban lawns.

    Totally not the city suburbanites that the Harris campaign said would be their path to victory. Totally not the people who simp for their HOAs. Totally not the people who are just too darn important in their own careers to sink low enough to do their own lawn maintenance (they have to save their soft pillowy hands for their keyboards!) Not them at all!

    It’s those darn “country bumpkins” that hire illegals to mow their lawns!

      I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish race. It’s one of those things it is easy to talk about, “the Jewish race is being exterminated,” says one party member, “that’s quite clear, it’s in our program, elimination of the Jews, and we’re doing it, exterminating them.” And then they come, 80 million worthy Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. Of course the others are vermin, but this one is an A-1 Jew.

    Immigrant workers in the US are the definition of essential workers. Many work hard agricultural jobs and take exploitatively low wages to do so.

      It’s ok. Once DOGE kills the economy, everybody will be eager to trim trees and drive Uber and deliver DoorDash. Except there won’t be anyone able to pay them to do that.

        Nonsense, the FREE MARKET will provide. The FREE MARKET loves us and wants to protect us from the mean old world.

          The FREE MARKET that bans all freedom by placing Tariffs against other countries to control the market and banning the production of products such as lab grown meats before they come to market and car sales from manufacturers to consumers without having middle men. (Those 2 are just Florida examples).

      They’ll be “detained” in for profit prisons and then under the federal prisoner labor program they’ll get paid 10 cents an hour to do the same work. The detention will end up becoming indefinite and private corps will reap the profits of modern-day slavery on a bigger scale than they already do from our (disproportionately) large incarcerated population.

      The artist obviously haven’t used a chainsaw. That guy is about to get a face full of knocked backed chainsaw, let’s hope the brake works.

      Edit: I just noticed how his feet are positioned. WTF? both feet flat on the ground! Is he walking beneath the branch he’s cutting? Gah!
