There is ZERO reason to 'celebrate' a person from Mexico, Haiti, Ireland, China, or Zimbabwe going to congress over anyone else.


Maybe because they represent the values and political opinions that are important to people and will move the country forward? Or at least she defeated someone that would be way worse?


You know, the same reasons we would celebrate any white person getting elected.

You sound like George W Bush with a dumb comment like that. We do not need anymore Immigrants or Illegal Immigrants in this country. We have damn near 30 million Illegal Immigrants (with millions more on the way) as it is. We have another 12 to 15 million Immigrants here on top of that. I'm not going to 'celebrate' someone from Mexico being elected to congress anymore than I would a white person from rural America or a black person from urban America. It's dumb. It's virtue signaling and you wouldn't be doing this if she had a (D) after her name. We have plenty of able bodied Americans of all all ethnic persuasions who need help. We don't need anymore Illegals or Immigrants of any kind. Wanting to help actual natural born non Anchor Baby Americans is not racist. That's what any real actual American should want. Not try and 'celebrate' people from other countries.

If you don’t know the difference between an immigrant and an illegal immigrant, just say so…

There is no reason to 'celebrate' a white, black, asian, south Asian, etc. person getting elected. It has become ridiculous with that type of mentality and you are doing the very thing the left does and it is dumb and absurd when they do it as well. Do you understand this? This has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, gender, sex, color, etc.

Immigrants
Illegal Immigrants
Anchor Babies

All three of these things are distinctly different. America doesn't need 'more' of any of them. We have enough here as it is. That is the whole point.

I'm not arguing the validity of doing it. It is pretty stupid. It doesn't change the fact that the left not celebrating it highlights the complete hypocrisy of their entire identity movement.

Did you not understand that the part where OP said "where are the celebrations" was just to point out the double standard from the left and the media? I guess you didn't with as hard in the paint as you're going in here

People on here who are Righties are doing THE EXACT same thing(s) the people who are on the Left do and get mocked for by said people on the Right. What part of this don't you understand?

Why should ANYONE be they Right, Left or Middle celebrate this? Why should anyone care? It's lunacy. Should we bake this woman a cake for getting elected as an Immigrant? How does that make her more important than any rural or urban American right now in Congress? Tell me.

She’s heavenly! The DC UNICORN I shall call her! Libtards won’t be able to attack her, but you better believe they have an entire legal team trying to figure out how to spin this movement within the Latin communities.

Latin culture is AWESOME! I’m all about immigration, but doing it the right way. But Latin culture is generally Christian based, hard working, passionate, driven, and respectful people. Many other backgrounds, not so much. Of course, the “MS-13’s” of the world throw off a bad rap, but overall, I’d take Latin Americans over many other cancers we have here that hate our country and believe they are owed something. And that goes for all races, including white trailer park meth head trash. But there are certain cultures that majorly do not contribute anything positive to this country nor the world. Filled with hate for the USA. They can ride the frick out!

Ah, I think get what you are saying. We should not celebrate anyone getting elected because their race/background makes the event special.

Because it shoulds like you would never want to celebrate a mexican getting elected regardless of their policy positions even if they beat the reincarnation of Stalin to win.

Which to be fair, I think you kinda mean that too, given the context of the rest of your posts.

Oh so now this is just a big troll? After all the emotional pleas on here about how great Immigrants are and how posters want certain demographics in America replaced by people from Mexico? It's just a troll and those comments weren't serious? America is on the path to destruction and a big (not all) part of that is the amount of Illegal Immigrants, Immigrants, and Anchor Babies we have here. It's like people didn't learn anything from Rome. The business model we have of importing Third World Immigrants (Illegal or otherwise) isn't sustainable. It doesn't matter what letter (R) or (D) they have after their name. When you don't have a border you don't have a country. You also don't have assimilation and a host of other things.

How so? If I emigrate to Mexico or Ireland and somehow get elected (would never happen) should I be celebrated for escaping the corrupt cesspool that American politics has been for Decades? Be celebrated for escaping a country that is becoming a country of Illegal Immigrants, Immigrants, and Anchor Babies?

You’re either willfully obtuse or a moron.

Either way you aren’t worth the trouble.
