    I love how our foreign policy is never mentioned when talking about immigration. 7.7m Venezuelans have left Venezuela since the sanctions under the trump admin. Want to reduce the number of asylum seekers? Lift the sanctions

      America has created almost all of its own problems for the last 100 years. The current war in Ukraine is because the US dismantled the Soviet Union. Sadam Hussain took power with help from the US. The CIA funded and trained the Taliban who then used those resources to carry out 9/11. Marcos was a Reagan puppet in the Philippines. We funded paramilitary death squads and drug cartels all over South America. Jobs and manufacturing were all outsourced to China. Literal fucking nazis who were members of the SS were given passage to Chile where they murdered thousands of children. Vietnam was because we tried to install a dictator instead of allowing Ho Chi Minh take office. The same thing happened in Korea with Kim Il Sung.

      The list goes on and on, one thing after another. We interfere in other countries doing adventurism, then have problems with those countries a decade or two after as they fall into deteriorating conditions.

        This is your daily reminder that the American empire “like(s) blowback” because “when you create another problem, you create another opportunity, and when you solve that opportunity with another problem, you keep the hamster wheel going”… Episode 10, 1:01:22

      Anytime I ask anything about American sanctions with respect to central and south American countries and their role in the increased asylum seekers I either get banned from a subreddit or I get the usual pointless insults instead of actual attempts at answers. America did that to themselves for all the “problems” that they are having.

        Because it’s not a problem for the ruling class making the decisions. Those migrants dangerous to them are disappeared at the border, that’s the point of the technological dragnet. Everyone else is only useful, either for labor or for dividing the racist parts of the working class.

    That last post sums up why I don’t trust em. They’ll turn on you om a dime when it suits their party’s agenda. No matter how heinous the actions will be. Now tell me with climate change approaching and causing mass immigration what do people think the “adults in the room” policy will be? Because they’ve been so jovial with brown people /s

      It’s hard to really say because they list of victims gets more and more diffuse the further you go and you realize it never really stops. Like are we going to include the people of Tuvalu bc the Dems global warming policy is to drill a hole directly to hell and line it with box fans until you can cook an egg on the pavement in Saskatoon in december? Is it just to abstract at that point?

      The existence of the Democratic Party is not compatible with human life.

    So you either reign in number of asylum claimants coming in or the rest of the immigrant (legal and illegal) will pay the consequences.

    How are you going to “reign in” the number of asylum claimants exactly? “Reigning in” is doing a lot of unspoken work here.

      I love the implicit assertion these people are migrating just for fun. Ignoring the fact climate change has already been screwing up growing seasons. Ignoring centuries of political meddling and repression. Ignoring the fact these asylum seekers are fleeing the conditions imposed on them by the US in the first place.
