    Vice President Harris now has more paths to the presidency than Donald Trump ...

    Reason appears to be down on the fiscal policy being promoted by both parties in the election cycle, if these articles are any indication:

    This guy is an angry old Maoist.

    NOT the "nice", "joyful" uncle he gets portrayed as.

    Look at how he gestures.

    Every single Tweet, you guys post is portraying him as an angry old Maoist. Not the nice and joyful guy that he actually is. Go back and look at what you guys are posting. He's definitely portrayed as an angry old Maoist.

    it's ok to like bland and boring music. if you were young today you would like stuff like creed or taylor swift. it's all good.

    a long time ago here you were quoting foxnews articles now you're on the cutting edge of the internet and spamming boomer twitter feeds (because you dont follow the mainstream cable news now) lol. lapping it all up like your own demographics and surroundings molded you into the person you are.

    I don’t know everything involved in the unrest in the region over the last few decades, but I’m pretty sure it’s not as simple as blaming Reagan.

    Reagan valued immigration. If you read his "Shining City on a Hill" speech, you’ll understand that. I agree with his vision—immigration is what made this nation great and continues to make it great.

    Reagan's support for the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, which aimed to address illegal immigration and offered a pathway to citizenship for many undocumented immigrants, could be seen as a pull factor for illegal immigrants. But it’s not that simple. People don’t come here hoping to become citizens (it's a nice bonus); they come to make a living. When the border was "more open," many were seasonal workers who returned home. They only started to settle here when the border became "less open"—they work here and send money back home. The main pull factor is the opportunity to make a living. More importantly, this has been a well-known problem for decades that both Congress and various presidents have failed to resolve, largely due to the politics involved. We saw this clearly in this election cycle, where Trump played was instrumental in blocking a bill intended to address immigration issues.

    The asylum issue predates Reagan and is governed by laws established by the Refugee Act of 1980. This law mandates that the U.S. process asylum claims but does not require specific procedures for entering the country to seek asylum (IOW, they can enter however they want). That "loophole" was addressed in the bill that Trump blocked.

    That’s all historical context, and while you can debate it endlessly, it won’t solve any problems. The bottom line is that we have a problem, and today, one candidate supports the bipartisan (conservative) bill that addresses it, while the other candidate torpedoed that bill and is aiming to deport tens of millions and severely restrict legal immigration. If he succeeds, it would be both a moral and an economic disaster.
