Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants who were given special permission to come to the US will be told that they must leave the country immediately.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement Thursday that Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans who were previously temporarily shielded from deportation will be emailed notices telling them to go.

The DHS said that more than half a million people from the four countries were allowed to remain in the US for two years under orders issued by Joe Biden.

First the criminal migrants, then the illegal migrants, then the legal migrants, then the naturalized migrants, then children of migrants, then anybody with a funny sounding name or skin colour...then the lefties, the opposition, the catholics...I don't know any more steps in their hierarchy, but they surely exist.

So basically, they will get all their wealth and property in the country repossessed and sniped off of them, Nazi style far below their value because they need to sell immediately and their local markets will be saturated. Do they have a new colonizer buddy like Israel lined up whom they can Haavara Agreement their interests with? Maybe their reactionary far right bullshitters they are financing over in Europe whom they will help roll over their governments? Like Vox in Spain? South America, even Puerto Rico, no longer seems like a stable or equitable bet to the economy they will now be coming from.

Damn they're really going after Cubans even though they tend to swing really conservative. They really are just letting the rascism get before political strategy.

The king doesn't need their votes anymore..

Fascism is not a political strategy. It is an engine of hate and death. It will eat itself eventually, once there's nothing else left.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Same with Venezuelans. Many of them here are wealthier people who escaped from the leftist dictatorship. They would be good conservative allies, except that MAGA Nazis have absolutely no sense of nuance at all. They're Spanish speaking, born somewhere else, so they have to go.

Really fucking stupid.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago

There is no strategy with them, only blinding hate.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Yeah all the Cubans I know are incredibly conservative due to hating communism so much they're willing to get behind any movement that opposes it. Honestly though that makes me feel less bad for them.

These people wouldn't be eligible to vote until they achieved citizenship, so maybe they are figuring that the optics of following through might be mobilizing for the existing voter base.

The Cuban diaspora keep DeSantis in power. Let’s see how this plays out.

Hah, Florida, new sanctuary state.

Fuuuuuck this country is just gonna be a bunch of pasty-ass white people. Saying this as a white person.

Fucking seriously what a fucking boring place we would be without multiculturalism

East Asians, Indians, and American black folks still exist fam

But your point stands

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

East Asians, Indians, and American black folks still exist fam for now

Fixed that for you :-/

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 days ago

How do you increase deportation? Just make anyone brown or black illegal!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I don't speak Spanish, but I heard some of these country names in the breakroom today amongst the Latino employees that work with us, with a lot of piss and vinegar in their attitudes about it.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So they get rid of more labor. Jobs are already having a hard time being filled. They replace as many as they can with their half assed AI. Things slowly fall apart. America is in decline hard.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

it's in an unnecessary decline

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Not slowly though. The wheels are rapidly falling off as we speak.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Gonna have to settle this in the streets.

Crazy that they're communicating something this important via email. Not that it's the only crazy thing about this scenario.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It would be trivial to spoof it if some jerk wanted to cause fear in brown people they don't like. Just like people have already used masks and posed as ICE to rob.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I didn't even think about that, but it's a good point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

does this include students too? So if you're Haitian and come legally under F1 Visa to study??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That’s likely not part of this batch, whose stays were extended under Biden. Assuming you’re here legally on a not expired visa you shouldn’t be caught up in this particular situation, that said when you look at other people in your position you could have your visa revoked at any time so probably best to have a very serious contingency plan
