If you want to live a happy life in the US right now, make sure your parents are in Russia.

Whoever does not realize that THIS IS FAR MORE DEVASTATING than any nuclear bomb or even SIGNED capitulation in a war - is nothing else but an utter fool.

Extremely sad news, this is what an authoritarian state looks like for anyone who still didn’t believe it. Wish them all the best wherever they land.

Well if you don't like what's happening... before trump it was very extreme letting too many people in unobserved, and now we have it the other way. If the laws concerning immigration had just been respected in the first place, this probably wouldn't be happening the way it is now.

(I'm not taking sides here, just making an observation.)

The US immigration system has been broken for decades, as a everytime a Democrat tries to fix it, the Republicans refused, to the point the democrats started getting Republicans authoring laws to fix the problems, and AGAIN the Republicans refuse, then we had Republicans author their own bills 100% and the Republicans REFUSED to fix it.

People as fucking stupid as you are why. ''Well why didn't they just follow the law'' because THE SYSTEM IS INTENTIONALLY BROKEN YOU FUCKING IDIOT, FAMILIES ARE GETTING DESTROYED AND PEOPLE ARE DYING WHILE YOUR DUMB ASS FAILS TO PAY ANY ATTENTION PAST ''oh gee golly why didn't they just do it legally'' 90% + of immigrants come on legally. How do they get illegal? They need a hearing. With an immigration judge, where are those? Oh... we don't have enough by the 100s. How far back is the backlog for immigration hearings? Oh its thousands of cases? Who represents people who need representation that our laws require they have? No, no, we don't have attorneys, that's not important. Just have the 5 year old that no one has any documentation on represent themselves? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense let's do that.

Wait in line properly? BUILD THE FUCKING LINE!!!!!

Anyone who says its all one side's fault, is not being honest. Chill out.

Those are Americans, they are unable not to go to extremes. And most extremes are shit. Sausage is somewhere in the middle but Americans never look there.

This is a sign we are collapasing. When the smart people wanna leave we are left with a bunch of narrow minded, uneducated people.

I work in big tech. 10 years ago, nobody was talking about going back to India, Pakistan, and to an extent, China. Now, people are talking about it. They're talking about Indian stocks, Indian houses, and dreams of retiring to go back.

Most people aren't - but the number is now non-zero.

Replacing education with idiots. The perfect republican scenario.

I can't wait for these brave visionaries to build capitalism and white supremacy in Europe. \s

is the title a pun on "depart-ment of education"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

It's from a presidential directive for dissolving the "Departmen of Education"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

It does appear to be so.
