President Trump: Making America Great Again...

Answer the question.

It wasn’t directed at me. Just letting you know what you sound like.

I tend to agree with this. I'd prefer the temp protected status immigrants to continue to be able to live in the US. That would include refugees from Haiti or other places that truly are threatening to normal, everyday citizens. However, that's not the case for all immigrants. I find it odd that immigrants from Venezuela travel through stable countries and end up in the US. If they truly are refugees, why not stay in Costa Rica? Trying to make a better life in the US is very different than being a refugee seeking asylum.

But let's just remember that there were at least 10 million entries into the US over the past four years. The southern border was a sieve and the Democrats did absolutely nothing to stop it until the election year. It boggles my mind that a lot of Democrats are just like "well yeah, let's just leave the southern border wide open for anyone to pass through anywhere and at anytime." That isn't a winning strategy and is one of the reasons they lost so bad last year. Neither party really wants actual border/immigration reform and unfortunately the Trump default stance is probably the more tenable over the open-border Democrat stance.

Costa Rica is tiny, and doesn't have the labor needs we do. Additionally, I'd imagine a lot of the Hatian immigrants didn't sneak in at the US border. You really have to view MAGA and Stephen Miller through this lens that they want to keep out black and brown people. They let those Afrikaaners in even though they don't face near the problems as Venezuela and Haitians. This is all about "the great replacement theory."

I'm not worried about it.

In the generation or two that it will take for the great rebirth of American manufacturing to happen, there’s going to be a lot of rust belt cities that will pine for the days of TPS immigrants not being so T. Even those who eat geese and house pets.

Other than the bipartisan bill that was proposed that Trump killed so he could keep immigration as a key election issue.

Saying the democrats did nothing isn't very fair. They tried to and Trump killed.

You realize some of the hysteria about the border is manufactured and MAGA is anti-immigration, illegal or legal.

Biden took action on the border without needing congress. It just happened to be an election year. The GOP is just as bad in shooting down the bipartisan bill.

The GOP is worse. They didn't want resolution on the issue so they could use to get elected

Even worse, the GOP wanted and had reached resolution on the issue until Trump told them they shouldn't for strategic purposes.

denatrualization push begins

https://www.npr.org/2025/06/30/nx-s1...on-enforcement

The Trump administration has codified its efforts to strip some Americans of their US citizenship in a recently published justice department memo that directs attorneys to prioritize denaturalization for naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes. The memo, published on 11 June, calls on attorneys in the department to institute civil proceedings to revoke a person’s United States citizenship if an individual either “illegally procured” naturalization or procured naturalization by “concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation”. At the center of the move are the estimated 25 million US citizens who immigrated to the country after being born abroad, according to data from 2023 – and it lists 10 different priority categories for denaturalization.

Man, a lot of people dismissed the idea that this could happen. The MAGA march to power has been filled with people accusing Trump critics of overreacting

He is doing the things talked about Projects 2025

Am I mis-reading that quote? Are they removing citizenship from people who got it illegally or through deceit? Hasn't the government always tried to do that?

Why should anyone have a problem with that? And yes, I am a naturalized US citizen, but nothing illegal or misrepresented there.

they are increasing categories and trying to find loopholes and situations ot do it more. I mean it is stephen miller.

I mean what are the chances theres a bunch of citizens who lied on paper work vs made a irrelevantg mistake and they will get thrown out

It’s a problem because it’s in Project 2025!

cmon bro

lets stop pretending biden had an open border. he was deporting at an extremely normal pace, he just isnt targeting people who have been here for 20-30 years with no criminal record
