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!

Especially because in the GOP world, the US has open borders, and millions of illegal immigrants are coming in droves. So if that's true, why delay any solution to the problem? Because the problem does not exist.
The problem actually exists (that's why there's a bill which Democrats also support), but it generates great political ads, so why would Republicans want to fix it? They are not interested in the solution, just the problem.
Just because they scream about it every day doesn't make it true. Please show me factual sources that millions of illegal immigrants are crossing the border every single day. Show sources on how these immigrants are also all criminals. And show sources for how open the border is since according to the GOP people are just walking in.
Oh, you don't understand how Trumpers work at all.
I never said millions are crossing the borders, I just said it is a problem, and in some states it is more visible than others.
Republicans concentrate on the physical border, but in reality is that the majority of illegals come legally and overstay on their visas.
I bet they're banking on it not passing, then running ads on how Biden allows "illegals" to rape white women in swing states.
He is holding it because there is a chance of it passing.
