Unlike North Korea, we in the United States are “innocent until proven guilty” and hold to the principals of Western Civilization, as Rep. King so admirably does.
If it wasn’t about racism, the focus would be on visa overstays by white collar workers brought here to do high paying work, which - spoiler - are the majority of “illegal” immigrants here (https://www.npr.org/2019/01/16/686056668/for-seventh-consecutive-year-visa-overstays-exceeded-illegal-border-crossings). Instead,…
You can CLAIM asylum. That doesn't mean you are granted asylum. The act of them crossing the border and asking for asylum is legal. You don't get granted asylum before you claim it.
This “innocent until proven guilty” is a favorite of the conservatives in my Facebook feed lately. It’s a complete misappropriation of the term since it is strictly for a criminal case, not for politics, employment or even a freaking civil case. It’s the same morons who misinterpret free speech as the right to say any…
To be fair, I also think European fascists would be republicans. I’m just less excited about it.
Anyone can claim asylum. Not anyone will be granted asylum.
Nancy Pelosi has been harder on Ilhan Omar in less than a year than she’s been on Steve King in 16 years.
And then we can unshun you.
They’d only be too happy to do that. Enforcing a moral code they themselves have no intention of ever abiding by is what gets them out of bed in the morning.
Considering how quickly Congress moved to smash Ilhan Omar over a fucking Puff Daddy lyric, he’s not wrong for assuming he’s back in everybody’s good graces.
Proving that you are popular with other racists is a bad way of proving that you are not a racist.
I mean, yeah, seems fair. It’s not like he insulted Israel or anything...
“All shun and no committees makes Steve a sad boy.”
It would be radical to let everyone in. Good thing no one in government wants to do that. I know you’re not arguing in good faith, but did you really not hear ANYONE say that the “caravan” needed to stop in Mexico because international asylum law says they have to stop in the first “safe” place?
I have an idea. Instead of going after the migrants, go after those who ultimately benefit from them, like, say, the Trump organization, anyone who doesn’t pay a living wage, forcing the public to save on groceries, hotel stays, eating out, etc., investors in military contractors who benefit from wars and propping up…
Did you bring your cat?
Totally get it. What’s the point of quality racism if there’s no one around to be triggered by it? Give this man his audience!
Of course this fucking coward went on Fox News. Of course he did. Fucking softball-throwing motherfuckers.
thank you fox news for illuminating another politician who knows jack shit about his own state.
