The Guardian had a great write-up of how immigration fear was the biggest driver of “Leave,” not immigration; in neighborhoods with large percentages of recent immigrants, the majority of British voters voted “Remain.”

How is this surprising? She has a British identical twin!!!

Yeah, it’s a tough, slow, and difficult process for people in his situation, and for even the most saintly people there’s always a chance that it won’t work.

Yeah, I think he came here illegally first and now that he has a stable job he's trying to get legitimate.

You know the crazy part? From what you describe, that's not even an attempt to become a citizen, that's an attempt to get a green card. He's going to have to wait another 3-5 years even after getting the green card in order to become a citizen.

Quadruple.

Mass deportation would be such a disaster on so many levels. Leaving aside the heartbreaking prospect of breaking up families (since so many conservatives’ attitudes are “fuck them, they shouldn’t break the law to get here”), it would be enormously expensive. And it would seriously disrupt a lot of industries,…

I know a guy trying to become a citizen. He has been trying for years, he has work, is married to a police officer who is a natural born citizen and he has been doing everything asked of him. For.

As a child of two former illegal immigrants this is a nightmare.

I know everyone is ready to crucify this woman and all, BUT.. my child’s father has these same sorts of problems. It isn’t anything you can see and it is due to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. We’re not together anymore and its something you need some time with someone to recognize. We only had him diagnosed at about 25. I…

I think most reasonable people would feel that her involvement and possible/probable guilt should not be used as some sort of stand-in for the shooter because he’s dead and can’t be tried. Circumstances would call for leniency I’m certain, but she is responsible for her inaction.

This is excellent! If Imams in Muslim countries allowed and encouraged these types of metaphorical interpretations to the Koran, you would see the dramatic growth of LGBT and women’s rights. We can only hope.

Thank you for sharing this!

I feel like Taylor dating Karlie would be like that episode of Broad City where Ilanna dates Alia Shawkat, and it’s super weird because they look like the same person. You know how they say couples start to look like each other? They’re already there!

No evidence?!

It’s either that, or moves to Big Sur or Joshua Tree for a while, discovers her inner Stevie Nicks, and comes back to Los Angeles and makes her California Record™.
