For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

True that. Illegal immigration isn't even a felony, it's a misdemeanor.

When someone says that we need to start taking people's children away forever, or send them into the desert without water to die, because they're illegal immigrants, they're revealing what they want to be able to do to people, for their own reasons. Enforcing the law simply has nothing to do with it.

Exactly.

Honestly, the issues associated with illegal immigration are so overblown. The country as a whole likely has a net benefit from it. But the right has convinced so many people that it's the cause of all our problems, so people have gotten comfortable demonizing and dehumanizing them.
