The democrats just can’t let their past go.
Comment on Border Crisis: Shocking Data Reveals Illegal Immigrants Outnumber American Births
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 9 months agoHard to call it a conspiracy theory when the statistics are this clear, and the democrats are so clearly pro-illegal immigration.
Plus it’s completely about cheap labor and profit. You know, like slavery. Funny how the democrats are still all about that cheap labor, over a century later. Hell, illegals can’t buy guns legally, just like slaves couldn’t buy guns legally. And how in Jim Crow, ex-slaves couldn’t buy guns.
And yes, the Southern Strategy was the greatest PR campaign ever.

Not at all. The democrats have always been racist and most likely always will be racist. I still have no clue what your point is. You keep calling that the confederate flag and it’s not. Maybe instead of low effort trolling, you should learn some history. You’d learn that’s the battle flag of lees army and guess what, they were democrats.

Then why are republicans flying a democratic flag?
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Nice symbol. Remind me, which party is trying to keep minorities from arming themselves?
PizzaMane@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Not really. The democrats want to unfuck the regulation preventing legal immigration. Until that happens (can’t happen till the GOP stops blocking attempts to reform), the only pathway for a lot of people will be illegal immigration.
So then you’re aware that the republican party more closely represents a desire for cheap labor/slave labor than the democratic party. You have no real point.

We take in a fifth of the world’s immigrants, last time I checked. At some point, you have to say “This is too many, please take a number and wait your turn”. Have you seen Canada’s issues? They can’t build homes quick enough, let alone upgrade infrastructure. There is a rate of immigrants that can be handled, and we’re well beyond that.
Illegal immigration just creates more problems, and is entirely selfish. Hell, just sending a few thousand to NYC caused massive problems that it was considered an attack. That’s less than what we get in one day.
No it doesn’t. There was no change in policies at all. The democrats are still for the same things they were in the civil war.

Sure, there is technically a limit. But I effect not really. We are a nation of immigrants. Immigration and diversity has always been one of the core strengths of this country. It’s shortsighted to fuck over one of our core strengths.
That, and immigrants are generally a net positive for the economy, and are just trying to escape a shitty life elsewhere. So it’s ultimately a good thing.
They absolutely can. They just choose not to. They have too many NIMBYs and lack the motivation to deal with rent seekings slumlords/corpos.
People are trying to escape their destroyed homes for a better life for themselves, their family, and their children. And they are willing to work for it (providing value to our country in turn, through labor and taxes).
I’m quite ok with that.
Let’s say:
I have 10 bags
Each bag can hold 1,000 marbels before it begins to rip
Each bag currently has 500 marbels
I need to figure out to do with an additional 5,000 marbels that I’ve been given
There are two proposed solutions, and an ongoing fuckery.
Proposal 1: Evenly distribute the marbels so each bag gets 500 new marbels. No individual bag is strained or ripping.
Proposal 2: Throw the new marbels in the trash.
Ongoing fuckery: Another person is trying to send all 5,000 marbels to a single city.
Democrats are in favor of proposal one. Republicans are in favor of proposal two, while doing the ongoing fuckery.
We absolutely have the room. New immigrants make up a fraction of a percent of the U.S. pop. If they were granted legal status and spread out roughly uniformly, it wouldn’t be a problem.
lol

To go with your analogy, I’d add that each bag is a different size. Rhode Island can’t take as many immigrants as California for instance. A tiny border town can’t take as much NYC as another example.
Right now the Texas bag is stuffed and bulging and tearing at the seams. NYC is practically empty comparatively, yet they’re still having problems with a few thousand marbles.
And it’s not like it’s the sort of thing where 1000 marbles is fine and 1001 will destroy everything, Everything simply gets worse and worse and it doesn’t end with a bang, just a whimper.
Finally, it’s a fire hose of marbles, a ridiculous amount of marbles. From 400,000 marbles in 2020 to over 2 million in 2022. That’s almost an entire percent of the population, in just one year, and it’s not like they leave, they stay forever. Year after year, just compounding the issue and always getting worse.

Isn’t that something th liberals complain about here? Not enough housing and it’s to expensive. Yet their solution is bring in more people to strain the system.
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Oh it very much is what they complain about. I think they want to suffer more
