  1. Sad day for America if this bill passes the House. Increases the deficit by trillions, while transferring more wealth to the wealthy, kicking low income people off Medicaid, health insurance and SNAP. Eliminating clean energy credits and loss of millions of jobs. Also more money for the ethnic cleansing and inhumane treatment of immigrants who qualify for asylum, but can’t get through the broken system.

    Shame on MAGA for selling out the US.

    1. That was the deal all along – MAGA voters got the joy of watching “not real Americans” get put “back where they belong”, the rich behind the movement the entire time got their tax cut. MAGA voters didn’t want government spending on “those people”. The rich didn’t want government spending on people, period.

      Of course, by the time the voters figure out they got played, that they are going to be the ones working those dead end jobs that only immigrants wanted, because they have no other job options and upward mobility is closed off to they and their kids, it will be far too late for them to do anything about it. They maybe should have studied history and figured out why FDR implemented 90% tax rates on the rich and implemented all those social programs, and how rolling them all back Medicare and SS is going to be a catastrophic mistake. Or, maybe they should have looked at history and seen how immigrants have been scapegoated for pretty much all of American history by the elites and … decided they were smarter than that.

  2. My question is; what happened to the Republican Party? The party founded to free slaves and maintain the Union, which voted for the civil rights of the minorities, which was for smaller government and against government intrusion in private affairs. That party is dead under MAGA. Under MAGA the Party has become free spending, is now in every home with laws and threats of deportation and prison if you dare to speak out against his highness. Trump is acting out like many before him by creating a common enemy to focus on while he gets away with his dirty work in the background – all smoke and mirrors. The Dems are any better when it comes to imigration, how many chances did they have to pass legislation to allow for a clear path to citizenship for the poorer imigrants who; replace our roofs, cut our lawns, build and paint our houses, pick and process our food – jobs Americans, for the most part, are not willing to perform.

    1. Thomas H — you’re delusional! “… threats of deportation and prison if you dare to speak out against his highness.”?! Get a grip and turn off MSDNC.

    2. I think you’re delusional if you find it that large a jump between what ICE is currently doing to who they claim are noncitizens and who they will claim aren’t loyal citizens.

      Then again most of you actually still believe Republicans when they claim to care about the deficit. Every time they get a chance in charge, they make the issue far worse.

    3. The DOJ has literally released a memo that they will consider stripping naturalized citizens of their citizenship and deporting them for constitutionally protected political speech. The only ones who are delusional are the MAGAt’s who can’t turn off Fox News. Delusional and ignorant to what is happening all around them if they only had the honesty with themselves to take off their MAGA hat and look around.

    4. +1 to Thomas H., Joe B. and Michael N. BTW, Trump is on the record as saying he wants to deport U.S. citizens who he characterizes as “bad people.” It’s ironic, since he’s the guy with 34 felony convictions and 54 additional felony indictments who employs hundreds of immigrants and is married to an immigrant who entered the U.S. with a questionable visa.

      The immigration raids have nothing to do with removing criminals. That’s just a smokescreen to condition us to think it’s OK for the government to snatch people off the street and disappear them without due process just because they’re “bad.” It’s a dry run for setting up a police state where the government can target anyone who isn’t sufficiently loyal … regardless of their citizenship status. Under an authoritarian regime, the Dear Leader is the law, and whatever he says goes. Cruelty is a feature, not a bug, because it instills fear and keeps the masses in line while the billionaires plunder what’s left of our resources. Way to go MAGAs.
