      When the white supremacists win power they plan to make non-whites illegal. Their existence will be a crime, and crime is undesirable, so…

    He’s also going to keep calling sofas “baby”.

    Seriously though, it isn’t shocking to me that the GOP is actively lying. But it is scary that, after a lot of work, they have constituents that wholly believe the bullshit.

    Just throwing this out there, people aren’t “illegal.” Actions are illegal. It’s not the immigrant that is illegal, it is the immigration. People are legally permitted to come to America for a wide variety of reasons. Entering the country without documentation is illegal. Staying past the expiration of a visa is illegal. Entering into a loveless marriage to skirt immigration laws is illegal. The person is not the crime.

    When conservatives talk about immigration, they do their best to dehumanize the scapegoats in the stories they create. Calling them “illegals” is a conscious effort to make it easier to treat them as less than people.

    So… Admitting he knows it’s a lie and will continue. It is clearly meant to be a malicious statement and is meant to further his career, thereby resulting in a tangible gain on his end. Would the Haitians in Springfield be able to sue for defamation?

      At this point you would think the accusations are repeated and specific enough.

    So, his response is to double down on lying by claiming that they’re actually here illegally because they were only allowed in by an illegal order from Kamala Harris.

    Nevermind that Harris gave no such order, that many of these immigrants arrived before Harris was the vice president, and that both the program that they are here under and the decision to make Haitians eligible for that program were authorized by Congress, which passed legislation to make this happen. It’s not against the law, it is the fucking law!

      If you’re a vampire who was undead in the US at the time the constitution was signed, it doesn’t matter where you were born.

    And I’ll keep calling him a dipshit dumbfuck, but only one of us will be factual in our statements.
