    Morans going to moran. One of the US's strength has been that our population is not declining like most if mot all of the other developed countries. Morans like Tally are too stupid to realize that one day he (of course he doesn'rt giver a. crap about any other American) might need a nice kind Filipino or Mexican to to help care for them in their old age.

    She was deported without her toddler. Then ICE blamed her for his killing.
    ICE accused Wendy Hernandez Reyes of leaving her child with a violent uncle, but she says her son would still be alive if officers hadn’t detained and deported her.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/immi...t-her-toddler-then-ice-blamed-her-his-murder/

    Nothing in federal law requires ICE — or any other agency — to check in with a child’s caregiver after detaining their parents, attorneys say. Agency policy calls for following parents’ wishes for their children, including removing them together, but immigration lawyers say requests to be deported as a family are often ignored. The lack of safeguards for the children left behind is considered a glaring blind spot in a system going full-tilt to deport record numbers of immigrants.

    Hernandez said she repeatedly urged ICE officers to let her son go with her, but her pleas were met with silence.

    I work with a lot of foreigners.

    my ancestors were Irish slaves, brought here by German owners. Eventually brought to Texas and for some reason it ended up in Jasper and Lufkin.

    this is a nation of immigrants.

    I actually am an advocate for closing off the border way more tightly, but I want those assets reassigned to office administration to make the amnesty and asylum programs faster.

    we aren’t ever going to be able to build a physical wall to keep people out, but we can address the cartels, we can increase border presence and use technology to help us out.

    but we have to do this seriously before we can waste a bunch of money deporting people.

    and at some point you have to draw up a schematic. Conceptually for me you boot out anybody with a felony and anybody that can prove gainful employment for over two years should be able to amnestied quickly.

    if you do those things, then you can begin to worry about truly trying to keep people out and deporting them if need be. I don’t think it should be an open door, but this idea that we are going to deport people while they are still able to stream in fairly easily is crazy.

    immigrants are generally not taking jobs from lazy Americans. But I do think the borders should have some control.

    Coyotes are rarely solo actors. And more often not they are related to cartels or other gangs. We should be going full board to shut that crap down.

    Most Democrats are unwilling to deport illegals who commit welfare fraud. Democrats are unwilling to deport people who have committed TWO crimes -- crossing illegally AND welfare fraud. Why have Democrats lost their minds? Honestly, what sane person would want to keep someone in this country who is both an illegal alien and a welfare fraudster?




    GOOD DAY

    This man laid out a beautiful case — Democrats have been using illegal immigration for decades to help them gain power. They are using these illegals. And they are ruining our country.

    Huh?

    I've never heard about German slaveowning the Irish in Texas. No joke, I'd love to hear about this. I'm sure @MadMax would too

    Onerous terms for indentured servitude for Irish immigrants were apparently pretty common in the early-mid 19th century. My mother's father's family was apparently brought to Tennessee on such a contract at one point from Ireland.

    in the retelling, indentured servant often gets simplified to "slave" for the sake of the tale.

    Very different from the Trans-Atlantic slavery we think of when we use the word, “slave” in America. There was a term to it…not lifelong…and it didn’t bind your children to the same. Makes me uncomfortable when Irish-Americans say, “stop complaining, we were slaves too!”

    There’s a good book called “How the Irish Became White” you might enjoy.

    Our history is always being white washed. We shouldn't ignore mistreatment of anyone, but the whataboutism is tiring.

    I can't imagine what it is to be black in America and see $1.8B set aside for Trump's allies, when reparations for Slavery were never given and how black people have been unfairly targeted by the Justice system since the country was founded.

    U.S. citizen stopped in Lafayette, shackled, and detained in Louisiana ICE facility | The Lens
    May 23,2026

    On Wednesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained a U.S.-born woman at a checkpoint in a residential area of Lafayette.

    The young mother of four, who is Spanish-speaking, was already anxious as she approached the checkpoint that morning, because her baby daughter was spiking a high fever. At the agents’ request, she showed her ID and social security card. But they called it fake, and she was detained, handcuffed, shackled at the ankles, interrogated, and ultimately transported to South Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Basile. ICE held here there for about five hours, away from her sick child, and released the woman around 2 a.m. after a lawyer intervened on her behalf.

    ...

    Her ordeal illustrates how ICE’s aggressive new policies and warrant-less arrests have led to what legal experts say are an alarming pattern of rights violations against both immigrants and U.S. citizens.
