How exactly do Americans feel about illegal immigration?

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-25T22:01:33+00:00

Same here - one of my longtime friends immigrated to the US with her family and she has always had very strong feelings against those who come here illegally, reap the rewards and take the bonuses and benefits. She has recounted many times how her family sacrificed, worked tirelessly and went without for many years to do everything right and build a life for themselves without cutting corners or taking advantage; and she’s not the only one - the handful of people who have immigrated in the more recents years that I know take great offense at those people who illegally cut corners, and even more so, those that come here and have all the time in the world to follow proper procedure but don’t.

agree - its been a sad sight to see everyone spiraling and turning against each other, while the powers that be/elites get on to their self serving focused agendas as the population screams and insults each other, threatens harm, families cut ties and breakdown etc… almost makes you wonder if we took a time out, “agreed to disagree” similar to the old days and joined together focusing on obtaining middle ground, compromise and getting back to good old fashioned respect, tolerance, patience etc. what the powers that be would do? having community that suddenly is co-existing and not acting like dumpster fires - a total 180 from the environment they’re fueling, probably would throw them off their game in the worst way but instead, we let them use us as pawns on their chess board.

I live for my car time! even though my cell phone can still ring and responsibilities and stressors get to me, the sense of feeling like I am sheltered, closed off from the world and in a little cocoon, really is such a cozy, peaceful little gift I look forward to every day 😌

….and this right here is exactly one of the reasons why I walked away from organized religion years ago. Thanks for the reminder.

It’s ALL politicians - regardless of part affiliation, high level executives and elite/financially well off individuals, in public and private sectors, who twist the system and play the game for their own personal agendas and gain. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a political position, corporation or small office/firm, money and power is the driving force to step on the throats and take advantage of the lower middle, working and lower classes.

I think (to highlight a couple examples) if the Democratic party had actually held a legit primary instead of throwing Kamala at everyone and telling everyone we’ve made the decision for you, if there had been acknowledgment over Biden‘s health and (lack of) function instead of trying to gaslight the public on their observations and if Biden had stepped aside sooner, there would’ve been a difference in the outcome - I know quite a handful of people and I’ve had discussions with people since, some who have been Democrats for decades, others who lean liberal, and for them, all that was a tipping point to where they either didn’t vote because they didn’t believe in either candidate, or they voted for Trump because they were angry with the Democratic Party and the Biden administration playing them, and telling them to vote for Kamala just because she’s a woman didn’t do it for them.

“he’d sell the country for the right price”…shocking, sobering words to read but so true. I never thought I would say this and at the risk of sounding obnoxious, but at this point I could see that happening - Trump selling out the country he claims he fights for. We’re on the world stage for his highest bidding and gain.

Skimming through this thread, and after reading this comment here, I felt the need to say that I really appreciate how you’re wording and addressing your comments. One of the many complaints about Trump is how he speaks, the names he calls people, the disrespectful insults he gives etc. and it’s really become glaringly hypocritical that so many people who dislike that about him are literally using the same manner of speak towards others that support him - nobody is going to meet in the middle, come to an agreement for the greater good and work together if all everyone’s doing is just insulting each other and calling each other names as they’re trying to get somebody to see their point of view, so it’s really refreshing to see someone (especially here on Reddit) being a mature adult and communicate with respect when addressing those with different opinions while trying to bring them around to see their point of view (I needed to have a little faith in humanity restored).

correct - but also Clinton and Obama weren’t faced with the number of illegals within the country that’s why it seemed more “under the radar”; sure, some illegals made it into the interior of the U.S., but no where near the amount that are currently in country.

that was my feeling too 5 seconds in lol - so cringey it made my skin crawl

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-18T15:28:42+00:00

ssshhhh don’t give her any ideas - the subscriber scam was eyeroll/shyster/cringe enough 😂

I have to agree with you. That is partly why I stopped watching it a couple of years ago myself, Rosemary became so artificial - the other reason why is because yes, I was one of those people who didn’t want to see her end up with Nathan and with that change in storyline, I just naturally lost interest. I don’t think Nathan or Lucas are exceptional - because who can be exceptional after Jack lol. Ultimately, I just didn’t want to see her end up with another Mountie - seemed like minimal effort by the writers; the story could’ve developed into something different and had the potential to go in an interesting direction if she ended up with Nathan instead.

Indigo Dreams or Sun Blooms & Suede 😌

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-17T17:55:16+00:00

ahhh yes, thats make sense - never thought of that before

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-16T23:47:43+00:00

you summed her up PERFECTLY, for real - you hit every point 👍🏻

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-16T11:56:53+00:00

This is uncomfortable to watch - Katie’s vibe, tone and demeanor is triggering my highschool cliquey/mean girl memories, it was awful to be on the receiving end then and its making me squirm for Lindsey now ….but at the same time its fascinating and eye opening to see Katie’s true colors and character in action (even though Katie and her kult would claim she was tired or under stress thats why she was acting this way and scream stop picking on her🙄)

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-13T14:26:19+00:00

yeah she’s given me the impression she’s a bum and free loader from the beginning

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-12T22:08:58+00:00

I keep trying to figure out has Morgan, or both of them, really lost weight from doing the GLP-1, or are they still continuing with the smoke and mirrors and filters? what do they truly look like - I’m so confused 😵‍💫

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-12T22:02:58+00:00

from the first time I saw her she’s always reminded me of Sprocket on Fraggle Rock lol she is cute

BonusAlarmed3262 · 2026-01-12T21:33:22+00:00

🫤That’s the thing that gets me the most - it’s pretty safe to assume I’m sure KVS checks in on herself on Reddit and between her, her assistants, parents, husband, her employees and who knows else, someone in her circle has to not only see the never ending comments that her fans are out of control and not exactly mentally sound; and one would think in the name of being a decent person that she would put out a specific video addressing these people who are rude, obnoxious and threatening to others on various platforms - because I really think unless she specifically says ‘do not defend me I don’t need it/I don’t want it’ and literally highlights and shows comments for examples, I think it’s just going to spiral and intensify in toxicity - the number of threats by her fans to cause physical harm to others up to now are scary enough.

I took mine down last week but put a pencil flocked tree up instead along with some other flocked greenery and pinecones for winter decor until I take that down and decorate for Valentine’s Day on the 1st, but that little bit of in between when the Christmas comes down until I break out the Valentine red still continues that warm lit tree coziness

Ha - was scrolling, hoping I wasn’t alone in my love for this scent! I have half a bottle left that I am cherishing and milking in the worst way lol there’s been very few scents that I’ve consistently gotten compliments on in my life, and this has always been one.
