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!

The problem is that pardoning undocumented immigrants won't have any real effect. Yes, crossing the border illegally is a crime, but is the equivalent of a misdemeanor; in other circumstances, it would likely result in a fine and no jail time. But even if they're all pardoned, that doesn't give them legal status in the US. There's likely not a lot that Biden can do to give them the status that they would need. And even if he could, there wouldn't be much to stop Trump from revoking it.
Agreed, it won't stop the radical right GQPers from doing their evils. Plus it will alienate more people on the immigration issue - what the USA needs is real solutions and people would see this for what it would be, political gamesmanship.
What evils? There are no evils. Republicans simply do not support ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION... jesus, this is becoming worse than r/politics that swings so hard left, it's nuts...
Last time Trump separated families, do you think this time they'll play nice? But sure, keep you head in the sand.
And Obama, Clinton, Biden... didn't do anything right? I mean, their hands are clean right? It's ONLY Trump that's trying to fix out immigration system? You don't get to choose who's had moral high ground with this issue. All Presidents have had to deal with it differently, some are just better at hiding their tactics.
Did I mention any of them
