Yes. Maybe the politicians will be more clever this time. One way or the other they are going to get amnesty. Especially in times of a packed court.

Defeat them in elections to the point they want to secede. Then let them leave. History has shown democracies do not age well and tend to gravitate towards socialism.

Absolutely would give up 40% of the land to separate and create 2 countries with separate currencies.

Giving them some nukes would be a difficult but necessary pill as well.

That's their platform.


Yes. But, they also want morons who hate the American hard-working taxpaying Everyman. They want this guy to be crushed, demoralized, de humanized, cucked and humiliated in order to avenge One Thousand Years of Racist White Patrimonial Oppression and to make the World Safe and Welcoming for TransKids.

So, it not just about stealing our labor from us, it is also about Political Revolution.

Then why didn't Biden give it to them?

I'll tell you why: because the priority wasn't "people who have been here for years." It was about pulling as many NEW people over the border as possible.

I don't care how long they've been here. People like yourself will say, "But they've been here all these years contributing to the economy and paying taxes, etc., etc., etc."

My response is, they've also been here all this time depressing wages and driving up the cost of housing.

No one gave them permission to be here/stay here. They need to leave. I don't care if they've been here 50 years. In fact, the longer they've been here, the more anxious I am to see them leave. Not only have they spent decades contributing to the negative economic effects I posted above, but the longer they've been here the closer they get to placing a disproportionate burden on the health care system via Emergency Medical Treatment and Emergency Medicaid.

The way the Virginia SC invalidated the desires of the people of VA was a head up their own arse logic. Purely partisan politics. Play that game, things like this will happen when judges stop being arbiters and overrule something the people of the state voted for.

lmfao. your brain has been rotted by polarization propaganda on the internet.

gerrymandering sucks shite. activist, partisan judiciary sucks shite. judges overruling a passed referendum over a technicality they invented by seemingly not reading the actual text of the law is worse than both of those things somehow.

Both parties need to stop playing this game they're eroding the fabric of the society by making the impartiality of the rule of law and representative nature of our government an utter farce.

No. Just no. Anyone who wishes for immigration, from all corners of the globe, is dooming us all to the dustbin of history. Every single time, in history, where there was mass migration of an ethnic group into the lands of another ethnic group, the original ethnic group collapsed and never recovered.

This is exactly why I'm disgusted with what I've seen going on in the courts and state legislatures lately.

I'm not one of those "Russiagate" lib types but I do believe they are actively seeding political discord to enhance our political polarization but it is far more broad than the libs imagine. They're seeding chaos and they're spoon feeding the con read meat as much as the stuff libs lap up. No one can beat the United States with all other North American nations as de facto vassal states. However, the other global powers can take down a divided United States.

We are already in WW3 y'all. It's been going on since February 2022 but Ukraine, Iran, Syria, etc are like the stuff going on around the world in the 1930s before all hell broke loose in the next decade. Our political system needs to be one that isn't only deriving authority from oppressive surveillance and militarized police but all these things in the courts and gerrymandering are sending us down that path where the US will only be held together by force...and eventually that will break the country in half.

If the democrats pack the supreme court, that would be the last vestige of our republic down the drain.

At that point we might as well just fracture into smaller countries.

At that point it would be time for an all out Civil War ... a legit full blown drop the linen and start the grinnin' Civil War.
