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!

Well duh. Getting rid of illegal immigrants is a dog whistle for Make America White Again. They've already targeted registered voters based on Hispanic sounding names. If they say you're illegal you're not getting a trial, you're just gone.
People who get deported leave behind property, and they leave behind empty houses and apartments. That's all going to get scooped up by already wealthy looters and sold to consumers. Greater supply, less demand, prices could fall.
Keep that in mind when they start crowing about how great the economy is now that all the "illegals" are gone.
(Protip: This, and shell company fuckery, is how Germany funded itself in the 1930s and 1940s.)
Yeah I'm from Germany and I get very suspicious when I see companies that advertise that they are founded in nineteen thirty something...
This happened extensively to the US Japanese jammed into internment camps during WWII.
My father in law is the son of Irish immigrants. According to Stephen Miller's plan, he can be denaturalized and deported. Is it likely to happen to him? Probably not. He's a relatively wealthy 70 year old. But once the brown people are dealt with, who will they scapegoat next?
Brown people first. Then trans, then gay, then non-Christians, then the wrong kind of Christian, then the women that can’t produce children, then the women. Maybe not in that order, but close enough. It’s been done before and we had a world war about it, but apparently driving the leader of that movement to kill himself wasn’t enough.
The worst part is that Hitler only killed himself(and his family) because he knew the Russians would never let him die a quick death. It was to save himself, not because he regretted a damn thing or felt an ounce of remorse. These people don’t learn.
What if you're all of the above?

Women are easy, natural, targets for Conservatives.
Beyond that? Disability, Left handedness, a grandfather who did yoga once, someone wasn't enthusiastic enough during the 2 minutes hate, they'll never run out of outsiders to invent and demonize!
We already have the 24 hour hate. It's called Fox News. And people watch voluntarily. Orwell must be spinning in his grave.
That's the great thing about this new administration ....
We'll keep fighting and talking about things like this endlessly while they go off and rape the economy for themselves and no one can or will have the time to say anything about it.
Start with over stayed visa's. Gut every corporations IT department. Then a bearded chud can take over being DBA.
Ironically, they'll probably keep all the H1B stuff - the corporate oligarchy looooooves that situation.
Cute article and nice data.
Doesn't matter though here we go.
