Former President Donald Trump suggested that migrants have “bad genes” while criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for her policies on the southern border, claiming that many immigrants have a genetic predisposition for murder. What do you think?

“I heard that 100% of illegal immigrants bring DNA with them.”

Janeen Fry, Loafer Shiner

“Still, it was nice of him to consider them human.”

Mitchell Slota, Carbon Reducer

“Just the kind of ignorant statement I’d expect from someone of Bavarian breeding stock.”

I love that The Onion has never changed these pictures.

as in these are recurring characters?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Yup. It’s a great running joke.

They aren't recurring characters like the other guy said. They just reuse the same photos

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

No, they're carefully selected by the Managing Editor of the Onion, Ted K.

Ok. This is cheating. The Onion, you can't keep being The Onion, if you're just going to report things he's actually said, and has said for years. At that point, it's no longer absurd satire. It's just real life absurdity. That's cheating.

Plagiarism from reality.

I was going to make a joke about how the immigrant Friedrich Trump definitely had bad genes, but they've basically already done it.

I wonder if Jesus likes his job as a keyboard optimizer..

At least he doesn't shine loafers for a living.

Given their occupations, it seems all of them are descended from immigrants from Golgafrincham. Not sure if these are the best people to be weighing in on this topic.
