"There are more undocumented people working in Texas right now than there are unemployed people in Texas,"
Hmmmm. How about that.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's almost like Americans, especially one of a specific skin tone, are tender snowflakes that like to complain about a lack of jerbs while not actually wanting to work.
Didnt Latino men mostly vote for trump? I don't see a problem, they wanted him in office.
The Latino men who voted for trump are not the undocumented ones
And they are too dumb to realize it doesn't matter, they will be denaturalized and put in the same camps
Yeah, these men are pulling up the ladder as they climb.
It's the American Dream, so why shouldn't they?
Tap for spoiler

Sorry bruh, get fukt.
Good. We need consequences.
Hey, Texas construction industry leaders...

I'm really sorry for all the people that did try to stop this, and for the people that couldn't fit whatever reason. But the idiots that caused it? I really hope they suffer enough to learn at least a bit.
They will not.
It's like everyone forgot COVID-19. The administration's response and almost daily scandal during that barely moved the political needle, and people are even more siloed in now... I honestly don't know what it would take.
As someone who sat "next" to a child clearly coughing mucus at the movie theater: Yes, everyone forgot about COVID (and masking). Can't wait to be sick in a few days!
My sister just got sick as stink visiting family who didn't bother to tell her they were sick! She's coughing up blood!
I know a nurse who's an anti-vaxxer.
...Yeah, I guess pandemic-conscious hygiene is not on people's minds.
They need a concept of prejudice that's simplistic (as in singular) in nature with with a tangible body of people or person/s to blame. It would also need to tie into beliefs that they heard or taught while growing up.
Trying to get them to understand (put two and two together) the different facets of a conspiracy or something that is rigged tends to lose them when there is more than one thing at fault.
Shoulda voted Democrat then.
42% of the state did, not everyone in Texas is a Republican.
