You don't have to go deep into the back ranks of the Democratic Party to find candidates running on the "Stop them at the Border!" platform. FFS, this goes back to the Clinton campaign of '92, when he ran to the right of Bush Sr on immigration and won California out from under the Reagan coalition by pandering to SoCal racists and white replacement freaks.
The difference between Democrats and Republicans largely boils down to the mechanisms at play. Do we look down at our shoes and sob while muttering, "Sorry the rules say we have to shove your kids into a cage because the law says so"? Or do we give you a shit-eating grin and howl "Yeah, we're deporting you and we're going to have fun doing it!"
Do we focus our deportation efforts on anyone poor and unprotected enough to have already run afoul of our police state? Or do we actively do street sweeps with newly deputized ICE posses?
Do we tell our voters to stop saying "Defund ICE!" at campaign events because it might scare away the middle class white voter? Or do we tell our voters to start chanting "Defund California!" at campaign events because it whips the red-meat loving middle class white voter into a racist frenzy?
Do we put a silk glove over our iron fist before we punch you? Or is the silk glove Woke?
I thought the difference was that only one party is kidnapping kids from school. But I see now that they're all just the same. Both sides. Got it. I guess you're still glad you didn't vote huh? I'm sure those kids are glad.
Many people use words not because of their commonly accepted meaning, but because of how it makes them feel. "Net zero" sounds fancy and zero is what they want.
Mr Cuccinelli was pressed later on CNN about his comments, and pushed back on claims he was trying to re-write the poem. He insisted he was answering a question and accused people on the left of "twisting" his comments.
Oh yes, that's only for Europeans. Actually, at the time they revised the standards further. Only Protestants from Northern and Western Europe. Obviously.The US was pretending to care then, as it pretends to care now.
Serious question: where do you think these assholes are getting their talking points? Stephen Miller would be my guess but it could just as well be Russia I guess.
Stephen Miller, puppeted by Peter Thiel. Idk if Putin really gives a fuck if we have immigrants from third world nations. He would probably support more immigration if only to stir up more anger he can manipulate on the right, honestly.

Probably, but on the other hand cutting immigration is basically economic suicide for a first world country, so it would fit with his goal of weakening the United States. The ensuing recession would also provide ample opportunity to manipulate the right (and the center, which as is customary will "reluctantly" do whatever the right says).
That’ll leave only people immigrating from places like Europe, Japan and Australia, presumably because they’re sick of having functional health care, paid vacation, high-speed trains and/or a shortage of assault rifles.
There is no longer a third world since the fall of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. The term is now officially meaningless. I wonder what they mean by "third world." Hmmmmmmmmm.
