Immigrants Are What Made America Great

Trump’s immigration policy is destroying America’s greatness Immigrants are the backbone of America’s greatness—powering its economy, enriching its culture, and advancing its global leadership. Yet under the guise of making America great again, Trump’s exclusionary, racist policies are dismantling that very foundation, stifling innovation and tarnishing the nation’s moral standing. To understand the magnitude and…

The Writing Is On The Wall: Trump is Intent on Hijacking the Midterm Election

Terrified by the likelihood of losing the Republican majority in the House and facing the prospect of impeachment, Trump is determined to steal the midterm election by any means, however menacing or unconstitutional they may be, to deprive the Democrats of their nearly assured victory. The Democrats must be fully prepared to push back against…

Iran, War, And The Illusion Of Control

As the US-Iran negotiations regarding the latter’s nuclear program and the threat of attacking Iran loom high, both the Trump administration and Iran ought to consider very carefully the potentially colossal regional repercussions if they do not reach an agreement. If Netanyahu convinces Trump during their meeting, at the time of this writing, that attacking…

The Democrats Need A Concrete Governing Agenda

Since Trump reassumed the presidency, the rank and file of the Democrats have been busy criticizing, for good reason, Trump’s unhinged exercise of power. Given Trump’s onslaught on just about every norm of America’s political, cultural, and economic way of life, the Democrats cannot possibly exhaust the range of criticism they can level at Trump…

Since taking office in January 2025, the Trump administration has pursued an unprecedented mass deportation agenda: expanded expedited removals, offshore detention at Guantanamo, transfers to a notorious prison in El Salvador, termination of protected status, and deportations. Families are being torn apart and people are disappearing into detention. This is the cruelest immigration regime in modern American history.

No, Mr. Trump. The state of our union is anything but rosy as you paint it in your State of the Union speech. America hasn’t been this broken since the Great Depression. You staged a two-hour reality show—stuffed with lies, delusion, and deceit—assailing Democrats as if they were the enemy, casting yourself as the nation’s savior, swooping in at the “nick of time.” You’re fooling no one. The truth is plain: under your watch, the country is unraveling. You’ve torn the nation apart, crashed the economy, hounded immigrants, trampled civil liberties, violated the Constitution, and alienated America’s allies—all while lining your own pockets as millions struggle to survive. Quite a feat in just 14 months. Yes, this will be your legacy—the most corrupt president in American history. ... See MoreSee Less

Well, sure. what type of person would want more of this ..

Let's see, it was Biden that crashed the economy you fucking idiot. And he hasn't trampled anything but your delicate feelings. And if you didn't flood the border with illegal immigrants, he wouldn't have to do mass deportations. Libs created this mess, then blame Trump for cleaning it up. I would tell you to go to hell, but I think you liberal idiots are already there.

You say, but you cant prove your claim. The liberals cant, the MSM cant, and the democrats cant.

More Democrats bullshit! Democrats care more about illegals than Americans!

Hypocrites www.facebook.com/share/v/1G2yJLkzXQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Back in the 1950s, the United States, even a whisper of sympathy for Russia or the Soviet Union was unthinkable and seen as almost traitorous. The eventual rise of McCarthyism was all about rooting out what were presumed to be “un-American activities”, i.e., anything that could be perceived as socialist or communist.

Trump uses his coziness with Putin and Russia as a weapon against domestic liberal enemies, rather than as a coherent peace strategy.

Trump’s rhetoric and policies on immigration and citizenship consistently elevate white, especially European, migrants while targeting non-white communities for exclusion, removal, or diminished political power. His efforts collectively push a racial hierarchy embedded in state policy. Framed as “security,” “merit,” or “rule of law,” these measures function to narrow the American electorate and safeguard long-term white Republican dominance. A historical and civil rights-informed assessment of Trump’s record characterizes his immigration agenda—Muslim bans, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) terminations, birthright citizenship attacks, and selective refugee admissions—as advancing a racialized vision of US society. ...

It’s a difference between citizens and non-citizens

B s there is a lot of different cultures and countries legal residents in the states God bless America 🇺🇸 please respect our laws and love our country

Welcomes anyone who follows the process and is coming from a safe country … not hard to figure out … should be common sense

they legally entered through proper protocols not slithered in through a tunnel or under a fence

No ticket No shirt.

There was a time when we brought in people who can contribute to this country

Legal vs. illegal? Not a hard one to see.

Not about colour but about permission to reside.

What does racism have to do with any of this? Facts is not racism!

Absolutely insane

Pattern recognition and immigration law enforcement is not racism.

Nothing like a nice lie huh

🙄

As long as they are legal immigrants he doesn’t care what color they are.

Perhaps because they are not breaking immigration law.

You mean those who are here legally and getting rid of those who are here illegally.

Oh. How. Ridiculous. Who tells you to say stuff like this? It's laughable. 😂

most people don't understand the difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal one

people should check facts before they post, largest group by far granted legal immigration into the USA is Mexico at 13.1% of the total, double the #2 country. and if you are the largest group and have the largest group of illegal entry then odds are deportations will show that mexico is the largest.

One group is a legal immigrants and the other are Mexicans

🤡🤡

it's coming illegally, that's not a race.

If any color person is immigrating legally they’re welcome. It’s the illegal that are going and there have been plenty of white illegals that have been deported.

In Germany, a university degree no longer protects against poverty. In 2025, nearly 1.9 million people with higher education were at risk of poverty, 350,000 more than in 2022. As the number of graduates grows, job security is shrinking, and unemployment among academics is rising. Those with lower education still face the highest risk, but this shift sends a clear warning. When even graduate students struggle to afford a basic life, something is deeply broken. Poverty is no longer limited to those on the margins; it is moving into the middle, exposing widening inequality and a system that is failing more people every year. ... See MoreSee Less

Same thing in America. It's why the student loan industry became a racket.
