Control borders, raise minimum wage, ease up on the SJW stuff a bit and things will get back to normal for most of the world.

That's how you can end far rightism in it's tracks. They're reactionaries, they are reacting to that...
They react to whatever lie right wing media tells them. They are not critical thinkers. They keep falling for lie after lie after lie. Like you.

Seems maybe a "plausible deniability" thing, with a bit of "dog-whistling" thrown in.
Yeah, it's the cowardly approach that seems all the rage on the right ATM.
There's not exactly a direct-line between what happens at the Belarus/Polish border and boats in the channel. But those that want to hear it can take it as a version of the "Great replacement theory".
The people he's winking frantically at don't really think further than "IMMIGRANTS BAD! SMASH!"

The appeasement argument falls flat under the reality that reactionaries will always find things to react against.
What changed?

"Reparations won't fix the problems that black people face. More likely, it would only make them worse, by increasing racist sentiment. "

And what is it with Trump's long-standing fixation with "blood"?

He wants the American people to spill their blood for him.
I actually once had this nightmare where it was reviled that the Trump family is in fact filled with vampires.

Unlikely, I guess, as if that were the case, he'd have to wear some sort of skin-protection constantly, to avoid the effects of the sun's rays. And avoid any sort of fancy cuisine that might contain garlic.

Plus he'd have an army of thralls to obediently do his bidding, probably particularly including lawyers (as Dracula had Jonathan Harker) and would tend to favour women from eastern europe.

He's just mad that immigrants are protected by the same Constitutional rights as he is.
To be honest....... if Getty Road is from NYC, then things are a whole lot different here. Majority of people on reddit regardless if they are Democrats, Republicans, or Independents actually hate Adams's ineptness in this immigration crisis. In fact, there have been news articles left and right stating Adams's poor performance, plus the Biden's response to the war in Gaza, plus Biden's age could actually make Biden perform more worst than Clinton did in NY back in 2016. We all know how Hochul performed in 2022, she barely won.

I gotta say, I'm impressed at how you can blame the failures of a mayor that the Democrats hate onto the Democrats themselves.
What's it like to be so blatantly dishonest?

It’s not the border that’s the main problem for you people. The problem is brown people coming over. That why righties claim they are poisoning the blood of the country. What the fuck do you think that means?

Trump said it himself, he wants his immigrants from Norway.

Controlling the borders is needed but it means nothing if your Democracy is gone. You also left off body autonomy. No telling women when they get an abortion. No plans for stifling birth control.

Add easing up on voting restrictions and now we have a start

No, their problem is that they hate anyone who isn't exactly like them and are hoping Dictator Messiah King Trump will use the govt to kill and imprison all those people in the name of freedom and the Constitution.
Don't let these trolls distract you with their bullshit. They don't just care that there are "others" coming to America, their real focus is on the "others" already (and very much legally) here.
Racism and bigotry never stops. Once that violent mob has eradicated one group that isn't "pure" enough, they just move the goalposts for how purity is defined.

Reparations should happen, but it would be the end of the modern Democratic Party, because even a lot of those white swing voters that Democrats have relied on would swing to the GOP....

Should have happened centuries ago....

Not me, some of them, yea, but not me. I want border strength, I don't care who comes to the country as long as they are legal. Legal immigration is good, illegal immigration is not.

Liberals have failed to protect borders, that's the problem. I'm no conservative, but you have to have an immigration system that is humane but strict.

You can't have everyone coming in to countries and not following guidelines, etc.
If liberals have failed to protect borders why do you think it is that conservatives are the ones that always veto attempts to protect borders?

Not that it really matters to them at all but I'm still waiting for some zealot Trump MAGAT to explain in the media in detail how Trump has by far outclassed and outdone Biden in the way of advocating policies and legislation that specifically targets and benefits the middle class and the poor of the nation of whom represent the bulk of the voters who will, by way of the EC choose which one of the two will win in '24.

If what you say is true have you EVER posted your concern for Visa overstays since that makes up the greater number of illegals. Or is it only about brown people crossing the southern border?

And yes, the southern border is a problem.

Gee, wouldn't immigrant blood be coursing through his son Baron, and some of his other spawn.
