    It's not necessary MAGA. Woke is used by many folks, especially on the right. It's frankly quite meaningless today since it's used for almost everything that's perceived to be negative by the right.

    Gee.. who to believe, the President and Vice President of the U.S. Border Patrol Union or some random maga twitter guy? Especially one that describes himself as "just another moron. Don't give a **** what you think either." Boy, tough choice...

    Americans should know by now to just let people take what they want to take. Don't risk your life fighting for a cell phone or a wallet. Let them have and live another day. Especially in big cities.

    Amazing how republican senators threw away what little was left of their integrity to help trump get elected...

    OK, so breaking the law is not criminal.

    I guess that sums it up - it is desired by the Left to bring more illegals in. It is not seen as a problem, but an opportunity.

    Why not just be honest about it and say it?

    cornyn says the quiet part out loud... he opposes the bipartisan proposal so he can help trump get elected. So the border is now the republican problem.

    Because he’s tipping his hand here about what’s really going on with folks like this.

    Maybe he’s truthful that he doesn’t vote and therefore his opinion really doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t get worked up about it… however he is expressing a desire for Trump to win just because he’s got this grievance either towards democrats, or liberal society, or whatever.

    If he is so aggrieved by democrats or liberalism that he would root for someone who is openly running on becoming a dictator, then that must be one hell of a grievance and one that I don’t believe will cause inaction either in voting or other acts outside of the democratic process. Maybe im wrong here but I don’t see a huge divide in high levels of grievance towards democrats/western liberalism with vocal support of the opposition vs openly active support they are wiling to admit.

    Long story short.. I’m calling BS

    Try being honest. There are plenty of rich Republican businessmen who like illegal labor. They're happy to pay them low wages in construction, farming, hospitality and restaurants, while providing no benefits, so that they can make more money. And we, the American consumer, are also happy to pay for these subsidized goods because we like cheap stuff.

    Instead of buying into insane "they want illegals to vote and change the demographics!" narratives (which have never been proposed by any serious politician in the US and would arguably benefit the GOP more as these people are more socially conservative than the Democratic party) try looking at the economic incentive that brings people here illegally.

    I also want to reiterate. It’s not just about space ghost. There’s an entire underlining culture in America of people who socially want to be in the club so to speak but harbor extremist far right views and work in private to spread that ideology out in the ethers. Like a lot of us they have so nuances in their beliefs and views so they do deserve to be heard out… However the lack of honestly about intention to deceive in relating to other people in a civil society is unnerving to me.
