politics
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!

If they go through with this, deportation numbers will plummet and some very vocal elements of the right wing are going to lose their shit.
Good.
Yeah, should be fun to watch.
So what are they shifting to?
'Cause we all know they're not backing off.
More elementary schools probably
Where I live they have not hit any hotels, but they have taken people that were riding the buses on long commutes. On average the hotels where I live are mostly staffed by people who live 1.5-2 hours away by a few buses.
Transportation is probably where they will go next. If they hit that hard then no one will feel safe taking transportation, which would have the same effect on the economy as hitting actual workplaces themselves
The GOP remembered they like food and vacations.
They remembered they owned hotels and most of their voters are farmers.
Bread and circuses you say?
Isn't this an admission that immigrants, yes even undocumented ones, are a key critical piece in our economy? That getting rid of them hurts those that are not immigrants too? Most importantly, our way of life which we so enjoy cannot exist if they are not a part of it. Immigrants are not our enemies, as we are also a nation of immigrants.
I'd bet it has more to do with optics and political strategy
If they really wanted to crack down on immigrants in the workforce, even at the height of the "they took our jerbs" hysteria, they could have just gone after the business owners that hired the immigrants. Turns out that would have hurt white people with money, though, so they didn't pursue that method for some reason.
Same reason in why certain folks were appalled by the Mexican flags being flown within the United States as seen at LA protests, but don't seem to have any concern during St. Patrick's Day parades with the Irish flag.
See if you can spot the difference.
Yes, but I'd view it through the limited lens of empathy-lacking Republicans.
I'd like to propose a new adage: Let's call it Trump's Razor: Where Republicans are concerned, never attribute to principles what can more easily be explained by corruption.
Most likely the raids are starting to affect someone in the in-group, be it a hotel magnate or factory-farming donor. They complained and it's stopping. I don't expect this is the result of philosophical reflection.
I second Trump's Razor, this is an easy way to cut through the bullshit
another TACO?
Yeah... still fuck these guys
Press X to doubt.
Or someone has finally found the correct bribe amount for the orange shit gibbon
