MODERATORS
 

Senators on Sunday released a highly anticipated $118 billion package that pairs border enforcement policy with wartime aid for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies, setting off a long-shot effort to push the bill through heavy skepticism from Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The proposal is the best chance for President Joe Biden to resupply Ukraine with wartime aid — a major foreign policy goal that is shared with both the Senate’s top Democrat, Sen. Chuck Schumer, and top Republican, Sen. Mitch McConnell. The Senate was expected this week to hold a key test vote on the legislation, but it faces a wall of opposition from conservatives.

With Congress stalled on approving $60 billion in Ukraine aid, the U.S. has halted shipments of ammunition and missiles to Kyiv, leaving Ukrainian soldiers outgunned as they try to beat back Russia’s invasion.

The new bill would also invest in U.S. defense manufacturing, send $14 billion in military aid to Israel, steer nearly $5 billion to allies in the Asia-Pacific, and provide humanitarian assistance to civilians caught in conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.

Okay. Expand immigration limits and make it easier for people to immigrate legally.

Until we do that, I have no issue with them subverting a system that exists just to keep whites in power.

I don’t see a problem with current immigration limits, and on your second point, people legally immigrate everyday, if they cannot follow a system millions have used before, they shouldn’t be in the country.

If you don't like it, maybe you should move to a white ethnostate.

We welcome immigrants here, and before you say it, humans can't be "illegal". These people add nothing but richness and culture to our country. It's the reason we were able to rise to power in the way we did.

You bought the propaganda; these people are not criminals. And when the election is over, you'll forget all about this "caravan" (or whatever), just like the one Republicans made up last election.

Why would I move from this great country? I have no problem with legal immigrants, American are Americans. Humans aren’t illegal, but they can illegally immigrate to a country. Most of them add richness and vibrance to areas, many do not, murderers and traffickers are mixed hand in hand with people that should have immigrated legally. You have bought into the propaganda, the numbers do not lie, illegal immigration is on the rise. If they want to get into America, they can do so legally, as millions have done before.

The facts don't back up your claims friend. Maybe one day you'll have a change of heart, I hope so.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Show your sources then that we aren’t letting in people that have broken the law in grisly ways.

When you make wild claims, the expectation is that you show sources, not the other way around.
