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.

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.

so... attacking illegals wasn't working so they had to add another 100% legal group of people to their enemies list?
gj morons
They had to add a group of American citizens to their enemies list.
this was my point-- LGBTQ+, women, non-whites, non-christians-- hey, why not go ahead and throw boricuas on there for some reason!!
Haitian migrants were legal btw.
Puerto Ricans likely remember the more racist times decades ago. And secondly, they are a much larger group than Haitians. So this is a much bigger mistake than the Haitian thing a few weeks ago..
No offense to any Haitians around here. Just talking about sizes and demographics. It's awful that we have a candidate who is so openly racist. But I'm happy that they're showing their colors while we can still defeat them at the ballot box.
This time he passed off citizens. Now these are citizens that his base do not want to think of as citizens, or even as legal immigrants(a group that they don't want to acknowledge either), but they don't want to believe in reality.
"Thank you for describing the legal process."
