American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

From politifact

This seems to line up with what right wing is reporting. The law has always been that children cannot be detained for more than 20 (not sure the exact time limit?) days. Hence when parents are detained, legally the kids cannot be detained with them. The only difference is now the administration is actually enforcing the immigration laws. In the past it was never an issue, since they just let all the illegals cross.

So the question is, should the US just let anyone come into the country and not bother enforcing immigration laws? My take is they should work to change the law so kids and adults can be detained together. Its not right that there are plenty of people in asia are tyring to immigrate legally and getting cock blocked whereas people in mexico can just cross border with kids and be fine. Note that in the legal immigrant case, families are also separated by a large body of water as its usually someone on a h1b or student visa, while their wife and kids are stuck back in their home country. if dems continue with this of favoring one race over another, then indians and asians which are already conservative cultures will continue flocking to republicans.

On topic of illegal immigration, instead of focusing on the illegals themselves who are just people trying to better their lives, just prosecute companies who hire them. wall is waste of taxpayer money. also make it easier for people with student and h1b visas, and finally legalize drugs so that drug lords in mexico that are beheading and terrorizing people are taken out by capitalism. once drug lords are taken out, mexico wouldn’t be shithole and ppl wouldn’t be trying to leave all the time.

Trump signed an executive order just a bit ago that will prevent children from being separated from their families. The problem here is that Obama got sued for this during his administration because the facilities were such shitholes. We’ll see how this shakes out.

While the whole child caging is seriously wrong one other important question is why the fuck are these parents still trying to cross the border knowing what will likely happen. They know it’s illegal and yet they still do it? Yeah i know, they are trying to escape whatever shit they have in Mexico but that is something Mexico needs to fix as well.

The fact is, every single country has borders. If you are not a citizen of the country next door you can’t just walk your way through the borders, especially when you know you can get into seriously trouble with the next door country in doing so. While I hate what they are doing to these kids, i am equally angry at their parents for doing this stupid shit.

Basically we had to pressure him in order for him to do anything about these children. If they weren’t any pressure, then he would have done absolutely nothing. Now we have to make sure he follows up with what he signed. (Which I heard wasn’t even a huge step). He has signs say “Russian sanctions” and didn’t even enforce them. I personally think Trump doesn’t care for anyone but himself.

I also think he is trying to turn our country to a dictatorship where he can control everything just like his businesses. He is trying to steer our country from democracy to making all the decisions himself. Pretty obvious with the countries he praises and blames. He might even try to claim to be “president for life” as he joked.

It’s not Mexico. Honduras and El Salvador basically trade off being the murder capitals of the world each year, and Mexico isn’t really a safe asylum country because the same gangs act with impunity there. Also, the US kinda has a debt to Central American countries for 150 years of military, economic, and political interference.

Yeah I’ve heard about Honduras and El Salvador. They really need to purge those lands. I think they need like a Putin or Duterete to go old testament in that area and just kill every single criminal. That is the only way right now.

Anyway, thanks for that clarification. I can understand as to why they are trying to flee (in most cases) but at the same time i also understand the whole anti-immigration thing.

oh crap i agree with zatalcon.

if you try to illegally enter another country they’re not going to say: ‘oh hey its cool just vote for us in the next election! have some benefits too! yah your kids can stay too’. only in murica and only if youre brown, then the dems welcome you with open arms

everyone (except maybe actual nazis) thinks its wrong to forcibly separate kids from parents. it wasn’t happening before because as stated in politifact, the laws just simply weren’t enforced before. progressive liberals should just openly admit they want completely open borders with mexico then i could take them more seriously. like seriously, if the parents didn’t cross with their kids they wouldn’t get separated. but if you point it out to the various fat feminists that are polluting my facebook newsfeed then they get triggered and enraged

regarding ppl fleeing honduras and el salvador. well that’s why donald dump was calling those places shitholes and calling ms13 animals. but again more triggering. and thats why i was saying to legalize all drugs. BOOM instant defeat of drug lord gangs as corporations swoop in and put them all out of business. no more terror and decapitation. if you really want to stop illegal immigration then you prosecute the white people that hire them and you make the economic conditions of their home country better. address the root cause not the symptom.

But if you do that you can’t turn brown people into bogeymen for part of the nation’s economic woes.

Well it’s important that you not point out the economic inequality in the country. Don’t want people thinking about what it means that a random schmuck like me makes more money not working than most people make working. That’s not the problem. The problem is that an immigrant will come in and get a piece of your scraps. Nevermind that you or your parents or your parent’s parents are probably immigrants yourself.

please do not upload anything from TYT. They are the worst form of liberal/sjw retards on the face of the earth. Cenk’s horrible display of being an idiot against Sam Harris was just the final nail in the coffin.

yah exactly my parents were immigrants. so am i. my wife came here on a student visa. a lot of chinese come here on h1b or student visas and do their phds, and their advisors know full well they can work them like dogs by always threatening to get them deported back home by not renewing the visa. similar situation occurs in tech companies. indians and chinese are always in fear of having to leave the country due to visa issues. its not so easy for them to just find a new job because another company has to sponsor them. plus often their families are back home and its a struggle to bring them over. why shouldn’t illegal immigrants who bring their kids from mexico be stopped when they cross the border? people are pointing out that if they didn’t illegally immigrate with their kids, they wouldn’t get separated from said kids. and of course they are branded as racists for saying that. either you enforce the immigration laws fairly for all, or you just say fuck it and have open borders and let anyone come into the USA. what’s happening right now is fucking racist

another example of unfairness are the uber drivers. i try to chat with all of them. a significant amount i’ve talked to are minorities who came to USA after winning a visa lottery. i’m sure a lot more people from their countries wanted to immigrate over here as well. i get the mexican illegal immigrants want to better their lives. but so does everyone else who is immigrating here legally. they had to wait a long time and fight for it. not fair. if dems want to legalize all the illegal immigrants from mexico fine, then give citizenship to all the brown and yellow people here legally as well

also on a somewhat related note, because the yellows and browns who immigrated here legally overseas are doing pretty economically well, oftentimes outearning their white opressors and even becoming CEOs of a few small companies such as google, now i see articles on my fb newsfeed about asian privilege. jesus fucking christ. so the browns and yellows from asia dont fit the communist opporession narrative, dont aprpeciate being fucked over by immigration laws while not seeing those laws being fairly enforced, so now the sjw communists brand them as privileged. LOL

Pretty much. According to census data from several years back. Legal immigrants from Asia tend to average more money than that made than whites.

A friend of mine from VN wanted to goto Australia with a VISA and work there for several years before moving back home to take care of her parents. She didn’t make the cut off in time and now has to wait another year before she can reapply. Should she just illegally enter Australia and then cry asylum? How do you think that’d play out? She’d probably be deported back to VN.

Nobody is saying illegal immigrants shouldn’t be stopped. The laws are fucked - this was already a problem, and enforcing them is a known clusterfuck. Read the article. Or look up Flores and that continuing debacle. Deciding to go whole hog on family separation was Trump’s call and that’s the delta here. There’s a reason why Obama gave up on his version of this.

Asylum has specific meanings, though. Consider Session’s recent loving interpretation.

non troll question - do you have metrics on how many illegals are actually seeking asylum? IE fleeing ms13 from shithole countries like el salvador and honduras? i’m guessing its a small % of the ones who are detained but i’m willing to accept politifact article (not huffpo or buzzfeed or vox or those sjw publications tho) if it shows otherwise

as for sessions, he is a turd and i am no fan of his. the bible is irrelevant when it comes to the government, why the fuck is he even quoting it? furthermore even as an ex christian atheist and i can easily pop off dozens of quotes that talk about loving your neighbor and why you shouldn’t tear apart families.

i dont think anyone, except perhaps the actual nazis like richard spencer and the fucktards who follow them are cheering at separation of these families. i am not a donald dump supporter. i also do not cry when nazis are punched in the face. i lol when rednecks get triggered at black people kneeling during the anthem. people can look at my old posts to see. a few nazis like slayer of bodom even called me a SJW feminist LOL!

now with those disclaimers aside, the media is being dishonest. dump started actually enforcing the immigration law, and because the law states that children can’t be detained more than 20ish days, that’s why they got split. before, the obama administration simply just let them through and looked the other way or did catch and release. so despite peoples outrage it is perfectly valid to state if these illegal immigrants simply hadn’t crossed the border, they wouldn’t have had their kids taken away. they broke the law. yes we should discuss how to change the law so more people can come into this country, but at the end of the day i do not think we should open borders. i really can’t think of any country that does. and with the way progressive liberals love on mexican illegal immigrants at the expense of the struggles of legal immigrants, and with the way they tell legal immigrants to check their azn privilege, well its pretty clear to me they want open borders with mexico and want to legalize all mexican illegals immediately, legal immigrants be damned. i would respect many of these liberals more if they just admitted that’s how they truly feel. cause that’s how it looks from my perspective.

What does that phrase mean? Asylum is a thing. Someone from outside the country is allowed to pursue it. The US tightened its metrics for asylum which affects things. I think its about 150k people seeking asylum per year from central america, and about 2k are granted asylum. You should be able to find the numbers you’re looking for if you want to spend the time.

Tariffs coming soon to wreck America soon. Terrible idea that I believe he will eventually back off like he back off the tariffs the last time. Build bridges not walls. We should be working with our trade partners not fighting them with useless tariffs. Tariffs don’t even work. The cost just goes to the consumer.
