    It would be funny if not sad. One of the posters recently just posted some meme about how sensitive “leftists” are defending government.l yet we see how sensitive those same
    Posters are defending Musk.

    Neither do you.

    The party propagandists just flat out claim they are all here legally.

    They also don't know.

    Also, how does it make sense to settle tens of thousands of people from one country in one small town?

    Again it was widely reported and confirm by the mayor and governor that the immigrants are there legally.

    Also the mayor and other city officials verified that the government and business groups of the city had invited the Haitians.

    So you checked all their visas. Got it.

    I can tell you that the whole visa process is extremely detailed, at least for my family and me. Unless someone is deliberately applying different rules to a whole lot of people, I don't see how they could have gone through the same process.

    The last posts though goes to something frequently done by the current Right. Because they rely on inherently biased sources such as tweets from individuals who have self interested reasons to be biased they believe that others are the same. Even though they are relying on limited sources they then project it to others they are too and try to undercut those arguments hypocritically.

    With the Haitian in Springfield the Mayor of Springfield and governor are Republicans and political opponents of the Biden Harris administration. The same with a lot of what we see in areas affected by Hurricane Helene. A lot of the finger pointing and criticism is based on anecdotal evidence and frequently by self interested and politically biased figures like Musk.

    On the other hand we see governors and other officials who have politically been very critical of Biden Harris and even campaigned for Trump lie Glenn Youngkin and Brian Kemp saying they are working well
    With the federal government and that the government is responsive.

    Yes I know about the visa process I also know about the refugee process and it is even more
    Detailed and difficulty those coming here as refugees have gone through two years of screening.

    But again you’re the one making the claim and instead of actually providing evidence are deflecting. You’re doing exactly what I just wrote.

    Also I find it ironic that you’re asking someone about first hand knowledge when you frequently posts about things you have no first hand knowledge and are easily proven wrong.

    No - I said I don't know - YOU are the one making the claim that they are all there legally.

    The honest answer of a non-propagandist would be that you don't know.

    JD Vance said this about TPS (temporary protective status): "That doesn’t magically make them legal... I'm still going to call them illegal aliens."

    What it essentially comes down to is that, for him, only the immigrants he approves of are considered legal, regardless of what the law says. That's not how it works, but it's how Trump and Vance want it to be. It shouldn’t come as a surprise—Project 2025 is targeting legal immigration too.

    Implying that their "legal" status is up for debate is simply 100% wrong. Those with TPS, by law, are 100% legal. There is no if, but, disagreement, or uncertainty.

    Biden didn’t create TPS. TPS was established as part of the Immigration Act of 1990, 34 years ago.

    you have an official source that refutes this?

    But local and state officials said most are there legally because they’re in the US under temporary legal protections, humanitarian parole and temporary protected status.

    I appreciate people who build meaningful products that, for the most part, are better for everyone.
    The current government model serves to protect special interest groups and those in power.
    Huge difference

    I don’t know every person’s status, but that’s a dumb point. It’s like asking if every NBA player on a winning team gave 100%. Even if a few didn’t, the team still won. Same with TPS holders—they’re legally protected. Focusing on outliers doesn’t change the law or the reality.

    Straight out of the Trumper playbook.

    1. well, I’m not a racist, I’m just asking questions. (Deflect. I’m definitely a racist. Or at a minimum, I don’t give a crap if I hurt those brown people).
    2. you’re an idiot if you trust the government, major media, or basically anything except for what I tell you. (Destroy the concept of fact/truth)
    3. how do YOU know they are all with TPS? (It ain’t true unless you can prove the negative. But no matter what, your proof is fake).
    4. I don’t care if it is obvious and Republicans officials have refuted me, how do we REALLY know?

    The thing is, that only works with brain dead MAGA. Intelligent CF posters are making you look stupid.

    Even worse, it is incredibly unoriginal and frankly unimpressive. You might have a college degree, but it seems you do nothing but cut and paste from Twitter, repeat stupid things from Trump land, and have no original thoughts of your own.
