Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

First, i didn't say "are the problem", (oops ok i did, but its the border runners) And yes, an unexpected large increase in population has adverse effects on a state's/cities financial ability. So in part yes, it's a resource issue. Are you able to comprehend that illegal immigration has a net negative effect on society and not a positive?
And let's remember, we're talking about illegal immigration. I would wager that legal immigration has a net positive on society.
Y'all think anybody that speaks differently than you It's just some white bread racist cracker That doesn't have any love for anybody who is different skin color. I'll sum it up with this.I only believe in one race, the human race. In my heart we are all brothers and sisters.
Actually we're talking about legal immigration, as those affected by this are people with legal immigration status. So what is your issue with legal immigrants?
That guy is the most obvious troll ever. Just report his shit and don't waste your time.
I thought we were talking about both? Anyway..
This may be part of the issue. Have I not already told you that I am all for legal immigration? I don't know who got y'all all confused about the difference. I WANT LEGAL IMMIGRATION. I believe legal immigration is crucial.
It's more humanitarian to want legal immigration, because anybody that is illegally immigrating is probably going through a very dangerous route. There's human trafficking rape murder extortion, you don't think the cartel runs most that shit? Worst people in that world!
Ok, but only legal immigrants are being affected by this. Illegal immigrants already don't receive any federal government benefits, you get that right? There are no programs through social security that illegal immigrants can receive or benefit from. So you are cheering on an action from DOGE that only hurts legal immigrants, and I'm just confused on why you think that's a good thing.
