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!

Maybe he should give up and quit this farce completely. Instead of what you suggested.
Because what you suggested just hurts more innocent people so that you can feel smug and point and say "i told you so".
We get it. some dumbasses voted against their communities and their own self interests. Im fighting this battle every day with so many people. But why on earth would you advocate that more people get caught up and hurt by these policies? Because they "deserve it"?
We are supposed to be better than that. We are supposed to make the world better. Not be vindictive assholes about it.
-sincerely, a farmer from a rural red run welfare county.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. The red voters had their chance, failed to learn and the USA is being torn apart by a bunch of lunatics.
Weaponizing immigrant lives to hurt others is literally the signature move of the trump supporters you despise.
And you advocate for exactly that. Disgusting.
You are the same sort of person as them. You just wear a different colored hat.
They problem is they're looking to enforce these policies and only hurt the blue states. Notably NYC where they just wiped their asses with the constitution so they can have the federally indicted mayor under their control. Case was dismissed without prejudice so the if the Mayor doesn't destroy people's lives, they can bring back the case. All so they can have video (probably hosted be "doctor" Phil) of people's lives being destroyed to satiate their hateful audiences.
If the red states don't feel any consequences, this won't end. They won't have any empathy for people elsewhere.
My point is, if you are suffering, and watching your neighbors and friends suffer, do not wish that suffering on the people who arent your neighbors and friends just because of the consequence of proximity.
Its very human to make the easy assessment of "the other" and what they think, feel, and deserve. They are faceless and far away. Who cares? But... The OP was literally wishing ill on immigrant families to hurt their own opponent. Using immigrants as pawns to justify their opinion and position. Using people to hurt other people. Sound familiar yet?
Fuck that opinion. I will not abide.
