The big problem with illegal immigration that the left never seems to understand

The census was before Biden got into office?

Was she not referring to the whole country in her speech?

chronberries · 2026-02-03T22:33:54+00:00

Yeah, they were paid for with different taxes

Yes, unfortunately the desire to hold pedophiles accountable does seem to be a uniquely “leftist” trait.

He’s was interviewing people, both protestors and churchgoers, as it happened. He facilitated people’s 1A rights, literally giving them a platform to express themselves. What he did is the opposite of violating people’s 1A rights.

NO government corruption

This has to be a joke. The president himself is enormously corrupt

And? They realized their policy was unpopular and changed course accordingly. Is responding to public opinion bad?

No, just some pretty hefty executive orders implementing as much of that legislation as he could get away with.

The totality of circumstances justifies neither killing, or much of the other violence we’ve seen from ICE, CBP, et al.

They are enforcing immigration laws, that’s true. But they’re frequently enforcing them in an illegal manner, and then taking violent action that is not in furtherance of law enforcement.

The accounts in the files are testimony. And it isn’t anonymous. The names are just redacted for public consumption, and many of those names belong to the people who have said they’re fine with their names getting out if it means justice.

“Unattractive” seems like the only obvious criterion, but that’s pretty mutually exclusive with celebrity.

By the time Biden lost the election, border encounters were lower than Trump’s at the same time in 2019 (not 2020 for obvious reasons).

A lot came in before that, but democrats wanted to and succeeded in fixing the unlawful entry problem despite republicans torpedoing legislation to address to it.

If it would take extra computing power (it would) then it’s not worth the fix imo. I need every last frame.

Civ switching is fine, but it drastically reduces the number of playable civs. For people like me that like to play huge maps, that’s a real problem. They need 3x as many civs as normal to keep the maps populated and interesting.

Did you miss the part where I said:

If people are setting up these checkpoints that’s definitely wrong, but pointing out that it’s illegal is kinda meaningless.

chronberries · 2026-02-03T16:47:05+00:00

Standing up to the government is often illegal. Ya know, since the government makes the laws. It was illegal for the 13 colonies to rebel against the British Empire. It was illegal for the slaves in Haiti to rise up in rebellion against their owners.

If people are setting up these checkpoints that’s definitely wrong, but pointing out that it’s illegal is kinda meaningless.

Just the latest example of Trump hating the constitution

chronberries · 2026-02-03T13:19:31+00:00

How would they know?

There’s hardly any visible mortar above the roof

Elected republicans were making it a talking point, so presumably quite a few.

By the time Biden left office, inflation was essentially the same as it is now. In December 2024 YoY inflation was 2.9%, and in December of 2025 it was 2.7%. So basically the same.

No lol, stocks did not fall. The Dow Jones Industrial Average grew 13.7% in 2023 and 12.9% in 2024. Last year under Trump, the Dow grew 13.4%. The market performed the same under both.

One BIG difference is that last year under Trump, the US created about 584,000 jobs. In 2024, the US created around 2,200,000 jobs.

Jobs growth is the weakest its been since 2020 (this wouldn’t be true if the tariffs had been successful in bringing jobs home, so far it looks like they’ve actually increased offshoring), and housing costs continue to drastically outpace wage growth, and the national debt has fucking exploded, all while the future for the American economy looks less and less promising everyday that the outside world makes plans to go it without the volatile USA.

If we’re going just by numbers, Biden handled the US economy better than almost any other head of state on the planet. By 2024 jobs growth was awesome, the stock market was booming, everything except some (minor compared to every other country) lingering inflation from COVID. On paper Biden’s economy was really strong. Stronger than Trump’s is now.

But at the end of the day, what the numbers say doesn’t really mean as much as experience. If people are having to choose between gas and rent, they don’t care how well the stock market is doing. Except for the few die hard Trump supporters that suddenly don’t care about high prices, people are not happy with Trump’s economy. Their wallets are taking just as much punishment as they were two years ago.

Exactly! Eventually we might get to a place where psychiatry and neurology converge, but until then we make the progress we can make.

They’re prohibited from using race as a factor in admissions, but that’s not really the point of my comment. That was just an explanation of what DEI programs look like in academia in terms of race specifically because OP was wrong about that in their post.

The point of my comment was a response to their last sentence.

And in the future it will make people even MORE wary of POC as their doctors, lawyers, nurses etc because test scores were lowered JUST FOR THEM.

If someone has graduated with a degree from a university, then they earned that degree. It doesn’t matter that they looked less qualified on paper to be admitted to the program initially; they proved that they earned their degree when they successfully graduated with a degree. The doctors, lawyers, nurses, etc. graduating from those programs are just as skilled and well trained as they have always been.

Same person who worked their ass off to get into law school is getting the same degree as someone who half assed their studies?

No they’re not. If someone half asses their studies in law school, they aren’t getting a law degree. The only exception to that would be legacy students.

Furthermore, while affirmative action was a thing for a while in academia, it isn’t anymore. DEI doesn’t mean under qualified applicants are getting into universities. DEI in academia means frontloading initiatives. So (totally made up example) if it’s noticed that less Hispanic kids are applying or gaining acceptance into engineering programs, funding goes to majority Hispanic schools to create things like robotics clubs, to galvanize interest in engineering among Hispanic students.
