My next door neighbors are immigrants and very nice ppl who proactively shoveled my old ass out of the snow this year. Several more of my neighbors are immigrants. Lots of the people who live and work in my town are immigrants. Several of my colleagues are immigrants. (One set of my grandparents were immigrants.) Bring on the immigrants.

    Huh. Might have worked better if they did that before the election?

    Think about their target demo, though. These people likely have no idea that election outcomes don't take effect immediately. Democrats have not even been sworn in, but I bet the average Faux watcher has no idea how that works...but they'll eat up that donnie is still fighting the super terrible Biden economy (lol), nearly 2 years later.

    Fox being dumb is not news worthy, downvote bury and move on

    They could declare "open borders" even before one new Democrat is sworn in and donnie is still president, and I bet a whole lot of morons will believe it.

    I've already seen failtrolls whining their gas prices didn't go down yet...nothing like a total dumbass trying to own someone else without even knowing the very basics.

    Can't do the budget because it's still Trump in office.

    The people who watch this shit are too moronic to understand cause and effect if it isn't immediate. They have to make it seem like the world is ending right away, or their viewers wouldn't be able to put 2 and 2 together to get 5

    I think the implication is that the caravan is on the move because they expect Democrats to open the border or some stupid shit.

    That's the funny part, all the doom and gloom, and yet the ones they wanted are still driving the bus.

    They'll be back once reminded in January, and that's when we have to be on our guard for any organized effort. I'd love to say that seems like something that could never happen, and yet... it did, so it can again.

    According to a video my uncle in law was just sharing with me, they're in my neighborhood screaming "Death to America". Which is weird because I'm the only one in my street shouting that and I'm very much not an immigrant

    It’s really amazing how “immigrant caravans“ only are ever a problem when convenient for Republicans, and completely vanish at any other time.

    Also amazing? Nobody has ever actually seen one of these “immigrant caravans”, nor managed to interview anyone who is allegedly been part of one. it’s almost as if they don’t actually exist and never have.

    They do exist and they travel from South America through Mexico all the way up to the US. They're often filmed throughout their journey. Our government here in Mexico has set up tents for them many times as part of our humanitarian aid, and one time it created a controversy because an immigrant was interviewed saying she didn't like our beans. She was smeared as ungrateful, undeserving and whatnot in the news and dragged all over social media, as you can imagine. I get the sentiment but I'm not sure why their existence is being questioned, tbh.

    Yeah they 100% genuinely exist. Migrants arriving in mass numbers seeking asylum is certainly a thing that has happened up until this administration decided to accept literally zero of them.

    The thing is not that they dont exist, its that in general it is a really positive thing for the country and especially for the economy that they do. Every migrant that comes here fills jobs that arent being filled otherwise, and for cheaper than any native born citizen would do it for. Their need for businesses and services creates a larger market for everyone else. Migrants also tend to start businesses at rates that blow native born citizens out of the water. Theyre literally one of the most beneficial groups to have. Republicans are just stupid xenophobes that fail to understand any of that because “brown people different”

    The fact that their comment has 84 upvotes on a sub thats literally about preventing disinformation is super ironic

    These immigrant caravans are coming to take get free housing and healthcare funded by taxpayer money for the sole purpose of dragging kids out of class at public schools and having gender reassignment surgery forced upon them under sharia law with the war on Christmas

    I'm more worried about MAGA caravans. They're a LOT more dangerous, i.e. Jan 6

    They all started writhing and squealing about made-up shit that they tried to pull off as cancel-culture “gotchas” like “liberals CLAIM to be feminists yet they voted for a religion that hates women”

    They’re trying to do all the criticisms we have of them back to us without realizing our criticism wasn’t a hollow power grab. They (the right) actually campaigned on rolling back rights for individuals in many cases.

    Whatever we’re all done playing the nonsense game, except the neolibs who don’t appear to able to function without it but who cares about them they’re washed
