They celebrate punching down. Gleeful when people in desperate circumstances get deported. We can support border security and the law without getting off on the misery of others.

No, pretty sure getting off on misery is the point of immigration policy, as the first 200 years were pretty favorable to anyone coming here and making a life, to the point of calling immigration to the US, a nation of laws and freedom applied equally, the "American Dream".

If there is one thing I would like to see post Trump, it is that the majority of Americans actually empathize with the marginal and vulnerable, and take action because of that concern...not wait until the damage is brought to our individual doors before we start getting upset.

Twice Republicans tanked real immigration reform that would've solved so many problems with the system. When Marco Rubio was part of the Gang of 8 in 2013, and then again in 2024 under Biden. If Melania and her parents can get their citizenship within 5 years, everyone should be able to.

I reviewed your voting record while serving as a Republican. Sadly, I don’t feel I can’t see talking points of democracy and decency as little more than manipulative fodder for future opportunity to whatever door opens first. One less follower here.

💯 Thx for setting a better example Also, illegal entry is a misdemeanor, not grounds for treating people like hardened criminals, terrorizing them & their families. And shipping them to foreign prisons for profit. Everything is out of control. Unbelievable

Exactly right. Many people of good faith understand that open borders are not in the best interest of all Americans. Immigration should be lawful. But so should deportation. Treating people who are down in their luck cruelly is not moral nor smart. What goes around comes around.

All of this "border security" is based on false claims of (1) a military invasion of our country, and (2) civil disorder. Those rationales being both false and beyond the legitimate powers of the President, all of the overreach is per se illegal. Start there. None of the minions is immune.

What history records and a tells future generations…is of little value to those suffering today. What is the solution to stop the suffering today? We didn’t get to our situation overnight. This has been in the works over the past 45 years. So many politicians are complicit in so many ways.

I think you are a reasonable American. I admired you for being on the Jan 6 committee. That took courage. You need to make your voice louder now. It isn't just about the cruelty. That is going to continue.

Are you referring to those who claim to be Christians? They are sociopaths & psychopaths; they don’t have the capacity to have empathy or compassion. Anyone who shoots their pets ie; dog & goat for doing what comes naturally/instinctually really shouldn’t be in charge of any agency.

The misery of others is all they have. They’re so damn miserable with their life that if they can feel like somebody is even more miserable, it makes them feel good. This is not now nor has it ever been about border security.

There is no version of Christianity anywhere in the world, where taking pleasure in the misfortune of others isn't sinful. Or an offence to God. What MAGA "Christian Nationalists" practise, is not of God.

I hope you are right that history will judge them, because I feel like society is becoming more & more depraved. Im appalled by the people that cheer this on.... and I live in your old stomping grounds. (Central IL)

Most these people haven't done anything illegal. Some may have simple traffic infractions. Yet they call them violent criminals and deported them back to death's way. No. None of what they're doing is good. They're ripping babies and kids away too. And sending them out of their safeties and family.

Its a civil offense, not a criminal offense. These people flee for their lives in hopes of keeping them & loved ones safe (that's a human feature). Often times, they contribute so much into their communities&spread positivity, giving so much back while they wait for their papers to finalize,

Those people, who are doing it through the proper steps are being deported. Even right outside their court rooms! There's others whom are just the same type of people, but maybe hiding from something even scarier from where they came in, so they don't apply, or discouraged from, or the process is

Too difficult. The gov't has a lot of hoops. Other than that civil offense (again, not a criminal offense, they don't deserve the below animal treatment and abuse they're receiving), they've done nothing else wrong. It sickens me that there are people out there that think its ok to treat peaceful

You don’t hear enough people say this. Maybe we can’t let everyone into the country that is looking for something better but we can still sympathize with their position and treat them with respect if we need to turn them away What is happening now is just cruelty for cruelty’s sake.

Maga are Nazis and it's time to separate and pursue happiness. We outnumber them 2 to 1 and they need us to pay for them; we don't need them. bsky.app/profile/mr-n...

We need to make two different countries. If the right were allowed to make all the laws and policies they wanted and the left were allowed to make all the policies they wanted, we would have two opposite systems. We are two different peoples, and we need two different countries.

Want to support border security? Pour money into courts, immigration judges, amnesty for those who've worked here X-years w NO criminal history. Make non-racial immi-quotas per year, women & children first. Create a marking system for visa-holders so they won't overstay. Outside the envelope baby!

Trump: "Feeding me gives me energy to bulldoze the shit out of your life" America is the naive child who accepted candy from a stranger who even told us he wanted to hurt us. But Americans told ourselves "He doesn't mean me....just the people I hate too" It's mourning in America!

Donald Trump cannot carry out his agenda alone. Every one of these people planned this chaos Every one of these people only work to make Trump a King Every one of these people betrayed their Oath of Office Every one of his administration is Project 2025 Every one of these people is a traitor

Section 1326 Criminal Alien Prosecution Program created during Clinton's first term. Our number dropped crime rate nationwide. Clinton came to San Diego to thank us. 600+ aliens with felony records (worst of the worst) jailed and deported annually in our office alone. It is what we need now.

Need a fact check. Just saw a post on another site (not the bad one) that stated there is a $6B contingency reserve for SNAP and WICC so they aren't interrupted during shutdowns. Trump's USDA is choosing to cut them off on Nov. 1.

The cruelty is the message. Its bait. Its why they got these masked/out of shape substandard disposables doing it as cruel as they can. He want the "left" to get mad & strike back so he can escalate & say the left is causing it. Now it looks like hes trying to starve people. Beyond concerning.

Democrats are oblivious to there being many Democrats who want stricter immigration enforcement. Kinzinger is correct that humanity should be where we all agree. Too bad Republicans let Trump sabotage the 2024 bipartisan border reform bill, so that he could now do deportation theater.

I believe the maga's thrive on cruelty. Something happened to them ....sometime in their pathetic lives..that makes them feel good about other peoples suffering. It is very sad.... At this point...all maggats are cruel.

We can support border security trained in the legal measures, not unidentified goons with masks and costumes bought on Amazon who love beating up on women and those they perceive as inferior v

Im Canadian, my great grandfather left Scotland to make a life in Canada & it's the same in America, just people looking for a better life . What is so wrong with that? What Trump is doing is disgusting & and wrong. America needs these people.

They’re happy people are losing benefits for food. Not just people they think are capable of working but seniors, disabled people and vets. They want a world where only the rich benefit and survive.

This. I definitely have not always agreed with everything this dude has said, but this I can absolutely get behind. when did punching down, bullying, being mean-spirited assholes become our national identity? It's sickening

What about the MILLIONS of people, all over the world who would like to come in? But unlike those who can just stroll across our southern border, they'd have to swim across an ocean. My nail technician's brother waited seven years to come in legally; because he respects this country and its laws.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Lyndon B. Johnson

Sorry but these people showed everyone what they are on j6 and now this administration is only trying to have white immigrants as for Kristy and humble don’t belong in the same sentence when she wants 2 planes one for her and one for her boy toy? Talk tough while impressing trump with Rolex watch?
