That’s...honestly one of the best comments I’ve ever seen.

Some random commenter on a post from yesterday is still telling me today that I don’t belong here commenting on the AV Club and should be posting on Jezebel instead (nevermind that I’ve been posting on the AVC for years and he’s just some random kinja derp), and I kinda think he’s just enamored with my penis. Thoughts?

Moreso if his paperwork lapses. You never see a bunch of static over Europeans, Australians, New Zealanders, and Canadians when their stuff isn’t in order - imagine that.

Your concern regarding the “sanctuary” cities and their poor is largely unwarranted. Many of the US born poor in the cities you’ve mentioned have much larger fish to fry when it comes to opportunities for growth than this racist slight of hand against predominantly Hispanic immigrants. (BTW: what’s with the…

Yep. The Nazis invaded my family’s land. And my grandparents survived a concentration camp. And it was the United States that took them in after they floated around Europe for 4 years following WWII.

Ok. Let’s go back to your vegetarian/Hitler example.

Oh Hillary was definitely a bad candidate, I was just pointing out how she can’t even compare to Trump, and Bernie lost more fair & squarely then people will admit, and I say this as someone who supported him.

It is not guilt by association . You asked why in America “immigration reform” is seen as a right wing racist position, it is because it is supported by right wing racists. The people currently leading the charge for immigration reform are right wing nationalists. If you line up to march behind them, you will be…

Of course it was a stopgap. That’s what a deferment is. The whole point of DACA was to try to avoid punishing a group of people who had little or no say in violating US immigration laws.

“Dreamers are 12.5 percent less likely to be incarcerated than natives with the same socioeconomic characteristics. The average DACA beneficiary is 22 years old, is employed, and earns about $17 an hour. Projecting from that, Ike Brannon calculates that they contribute $215 billion to the economy annually. Meanwhile,…

Yep. That was Obama’s statement in his autobiography. And then he argued why that position is incorrect. And how he used logic to overcome his misgivings.

Context is everything. Most of these now young adults, contributing to America’s economy and culture, were in diapers or well under 10 when their parents brought them here. America is all they know and probably all they are in their eyes. The Kenyan or Indian or Turk who has had the same experience in a given European…

There were also Trump’s failed Executive Orders that prevented people from a few randomly selected Muslim countries from entering the United States.

Here’s the thing, for the US, aside from some very targeted laws designed specifically to keep certain minorities out, we’ve pretty much had open borders until the 1920s or so. So to say it’s a slap in the face to those that came here legally is a load of shit. My people have been here since before this was a…

I’ve always thought that it was ironic that people gave Hillary shit for taking money from Goldman Sachs for a speech (much of which she donated to charity) when the current president has 3 Goldman executives in his administration and is basically doing their bidding.

I have a feeling you’re not.

Arizona’s crackdown on “illegal immigration” resulted in all Hispanics having to carry ID with them at all times or risk being thrown in jail. A federal judge deemed this was un-Constitutional and they were ordered to stop. The sheriff continued to stop Hispanics. He was convicted of breaking federal law. Trump…

regardless what you feel about it, the whole point of the law was to protect children who were brought here by their parents..children had no say or choice in coming to America, but Now they’re here and have grown up as Americans , this is all they know, it would be pretty fucked up to send them back to a country they…

These are children who have lived in America their entire lives, gone to school, gone to college, worked here. They’re not untrained or unskilled and English is their primary language — they also have no memory of their home countries. There are also only 800,000 of them — in a country of 400 million; the richest…

No, I think the term just applies to people who didn’t vote Hillary because Bernie wasn’t the nominee, figuring what we have right now is pretty much as bad as a Clinton presidency.
