Families Belong Together | Facebook - "BREAKING: The Supreme Court dealt a devastating blow to 1.3 million people who built their lives in the United States through Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This is a human tragedy. We share the anger and grief of every TPS holder, every family member, every community watching this unfold in real time. Our hearts break for the irreparable damage this will do to our people. 💔 We are calling on every member of Congress to immediately pass a permanent pathway to citizenship for TPS holders. These are our neighbors, our coworkers, our family. We belong together."
Left wingers mock Conservatives as stupid and poorly educated, but they don't know what "temporary" means
Michael Smith | Facebook - "After having the chance to finish reading the opinions of yesterday's SCOTUS case releases, it struck me how conformant the left wing justices of the Court are with the orthodox globalist left in their desire for America to be blamed for, or at least be expected to remedy, negative conditions and consequences around the world that we did not facilitate or create. From the blood libel of Elon Musk and DOGE by the clownish multimillionaire Ro Khanna (Musk killed 14 million children with cuts to USAID) to Sonia Sotomayor writing in her dissent that "The consequences of today’s decision are predictable, more people will die. More people will attempt to cross the border illegally, and some will make it while others will not", proves the Blame America First crowd identified by Ambassador Jean Kirkpatrick is still alive and well nearly a half century after she called them out. Ironically, while the American left and certain libertarian and corporate entities are allied in issuing de facto invitations for illegal immigration, the nation of America has clear prohibitions and punishments for illegal border crossings that the overwhelming majority of American citizens support. It would seem to indicate a failure in Sotomayor's reasoning capacity when she ignores the fact that the promise of a de facto open border will draw more crossers as opposed to one that is demonstratable closed. There is no need to discuss the theory of that because President Trump proved it in practice. Not our monkeys, not our circus."
Kurt Andersen on X - "What a hellishly cruel and stupid mess SCOTUS has enabled. Most or the 1.3M legally resident people they’re letting Trump deport have lived here 15+ years. Average age 42. They’re parents to 273,000 U.S. citizen kids. 30% have mortgages."
Doctor-Baron 17cShyteposter, DDS on X - "If ending a group's Temporary Protected Status really leads to this kind of mess, it sounds like we should just end TPS altogether. Or if you're arguing that "Temporary" doesn't mean temporary, then the whole program was illegitimate from the start. In that case, end it tomorrow."
Elizabeth Warren on X - "Our Haitian community in Massachusetts is part of us. Donald Trump — backed by his hand-picked Supreme Court — is trying to rip them from the communities they belong in. It is deeply and morally wrong. I will keep fighting for our Haitian community."
Wilfred Reilly on X - "These sort of "ethnic cleansing...part of us forever" takes are genuinely bizarre. There WAS no Haitian community in Mass. maybe 20 years ago. The argument surely cannot be "Once an ~unwanted foreigner claiming refugee status arrives, you can never make him leave!" Can it?"
Suzie rizzio on X - "Imagine being Amy Coney Barrett and being the mother of two adopted children from Haiti and having to explain to them why she voted to terminate Temporary Protected Status for roughly 330,000 Haitian Nationals living and working in the United States."
Left wing logic - you need to let your personal feelings and situation decide your professional judgment (at least, when that pushes the left wing agenda), or you're a bad person

When left wingers proclaim that left wingers cannot be trusted to do their jobs properly. But of course, Trump is racist for suggesting a Mexican judge could have a conflict of interest where a wall with Mexico is concerned, even though left wingers at the highest levels openly proclaim that conflicts of interest are a good thing (see: Sotomayor's "wise Latina woman")
Left wing logic - the law must be interpreted to maximize good feelz. Of course there were lots of vicious and/or irrational comments
Jessica Vaughan on X - "A large share of Haitians (and Cubans & Venezuelans) who were allowed in under Biden did not come from their home countries but from 3rd countries like Chile, Brazil and Spain, where they had residency & work permits. So they can return there if they don't want to go home."
Bill Melugin on X - "100% correct. When I was at the Del Rio, TX Haitian bridge camp in 2021, many of the Haitians told me they had been living in Chile & Brazil for years before coming to the US illegally for economic (not safety) reasons. The Haitians were dumping & tearing up their Chilean documents at the river’s edge hide this fact from the US so it wouldn’t hurt their fraudulent asylum claims. The idea that all these Haitians came directly from Haiti after an earthquake or assassination is false. Many of them were living happily and safely for years in South America until Biden’s open border policies became too attractive to pass up. Others also flew into the US via Biden’s CHNV mass parole program which was supposed to be for only 2 year humanitarian parole grants. Of course, most never left."
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on X - ""Revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of people residing in our country creates a moral crisis when returning to their country of origin is not a safe or reasonable option.

Time for right wing anti-Semites to blame the Jews
Greg Siskind on X - "In one day, the Supreme Court decimated our asylum and humanitarian protection programs. We began building these protections in collaboration with our allies as a direct response to our failure to offer protection to the millions of victims of Nazi persecution. One day in the future Americans will be asking the question again about why we failed to have a system to protect people from persecution and danger."
Tim Timbo on X - "Living among your own people with no major wars or anything else going on is the same as being a Jew during the holocaust. Wild statement to make."
Daniel Friedman on X - "Jewish liberals need to update their priors. Antisemitism in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia is surging because the West is importing it. You can have Jewish safety or you can have open borders, but you can’t have both. The Haitians would be thrilled if they were kicking you out."
Earned Citizenship | The White House - ""We have to deal with the 11 million individuals who are here illegally. We all agree that these men and women should have to earn their way to citizenship. But for comprehensive immigration reform to work, it must be clear from the outset that there is a pathway to citizenship. We’ve got to lay out a path — a process that includes passing a background check, paying taxes, paying a penalty, learning English, and then going to the back of the line, behind all the folks who are trying to come here legally. That's only fair" President Barack Obama, January 29, 2013"
Damn far right extremist! Xenophobia and racism have no place in the US!
Greg Price on X - "Michelle Obama: "Dreamers aren't Americans too. They are America. They are the beating heart of this country. They are us and we are them..." A "dreamer" was just arrested for plotting a terrorist attack at the White House UFC fight."
Rothmus 🏴 on X - "When you feel no ownership over something and no real bond to it, giving it away costs you nothing. In politics, it can even be rewarded. That’s why the Democratic Party often behaves less like an American party and more like a coalition of foreigners that treats the United States as conquered territory to be divided. They’re distributing its resources, identity, and future to people who never built it, exactly as raiders parcel out the spoils. The most striking part is how little resistance was required. No foreign army had to invade. They simply opened the gates from within, flooded the borders, and reframed any defense of the historic nation as illegitimate. Now the rest of us are told to accept the consequences as inevitable."

Border Enforcement Does Affect American Workers’ Wallets - WSJ - "The consensus in Washington held for years that immigration enforcement didn’t impact the wallets of ordinary Americans. Wages, housing costs and job competition were all shaped by larger forces. Border policy was a legal and a cultural question. Its economics were more or less neutral. As a deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury and later deputy undersecretary of labor in the George W. Bush administration, I worked on, among other things, immigration policy. Concerns about wage pressure were often acknowledged, then set aside as statistically insignificant. The academic literature gave little reason to do otherwise. But now the data has become much clearer and the old consensus harder to defend. As a free-market economist, I believe in the power of human capital to drive growth. Immigration, done right, makes America more productive, dynamic and prosperous. But free markets work best when they operate within rules. In recent years, those rules haven’t been consistently enforced. The result is a market distortion that holds down wages for those Americans most exposed to labor competition from unauthorized workers, increases demand for housing without a corresponding increase in supply and undermines the legal immigration system that serves everyone’s interests. Enforcement isn’t antimarket. Correcting distortions is what markets require. As enforcement has intensified, labor supply in immigrant-intensive sectors has tightened. In fiscal 2025, southwest border apprehensions fell to their lowest level since 1970, an 84% decline from the prior year, and the Brookings Institution estimates that between 210,000 and 405,000 people left voluntarily. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show a corresponding tightening in labor markets. In April 2026, the construction job openings rate stood at 3%, and accommodation and food services recorded a 4.5% openings rate. At the same time, quits in accommodation and food services were 4%, more than double the national quit rate of 1.9%. The Federal Reserve’s Beige Book describes a labor market characterized by difficulty filling positions, with the June 2026 national summary emphasizing a “low-hire, low-fire” environment. The August 2025 Beige Book also noted that “half of the Districts . . . reported a reduction in the availability of immigrant labor.” For much of the 2010s, pay in lower-skill occupations lagged behind while professional salaries pulled away. As immigration enforcement has increased, that gap has narrowed. Take construction, which relies heavily on immigrant labor. Wages in the sector grew at roughly 2.5% annually between 2010 and 2017. Now BLS data shows construction wages growing at 3.1% through the first quarter of 2026—above the sector’s pre-enforcement baseline, even as broader private-sector wage growth cooled to 3.4%. Housing is more complicated, which advocates of immigration enforcement should acknowledge. A 2024 study by Troup Howard, Mengqi Wang and Dayin Zhang found that heightened enforcement reduced residential construction workforces in affected counties, resulting in fewer homes built and higher prices. But demand is shifting too. A recent Federal Reserve working paper finds that unauthorized immigration accounted for roughly 30% of house-price growth and 20% of rent growth in the average metro area between 2021 and 2024. As that demand eases, so should price pressure. Zillow reports national mortgage costs at their best level since August 2022, with affordability expected to improve in 49 of the 50 largest metros by year’s end... For years, many economists treated enforcement as economically irrelevant and dismissed concerns about wage competition. Harvard economist George Borjas was a notable exception. His research documents the mechanism directly: Immigration redistributes income from workers who compete with immigrants to the employers who hire them, with those at the bottom of the skill distribution bearing the largest losses. Increasing the number of workers in lower-skill labor markets puts downward pressure on wages. That dynamic coexisted with a long-term decline in labor-force participation among less-educated men, including a Brookings analysis showing a 4.4-point decline among prime-age men without a college degree between 2000 and 2015. Working-class Americans in high-immigration labor markets were told for years that the downward pressure they noticed in their paychecks wasn’t happening. The evidence is now moving in their direction, even if it doesn’t settle every question."

Army veteran in custody after launching incendiary attack at NYC federal building - "A U.S. Army veteran with anti-ICE and anti-government views was in custody after lighting fireworks and setting a fire outside a New York City federal building on Monday morning before he was tackled and taken into custody, authorities said. The suspect, Andrew Arrabaca, 43, arrived at the employee entrance to 26 Federal Plaza around 8:30 a.m. and lit a large firework inside a canister before firing five to seven pellets from an airsoft rifle at the building, authorities said. He then pulled out a bucket and dumped a liquid that ignited a fire, authorities said. He was subdued by federal agents and police officers moments later. "Mr. Arrabaca came armed with bad intentions," said James Barnacle Jr., the assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York City Field Office. He noted that the building "has long been a target of extremists, of terrorists. And today the extremism was brought here."... Arrabaca shouted anti-ICE and anti-government statements during his arrest, authorities said. During an interview with investigators, he allegedly said he was targeting the building and that "he was okay if he hurt or killed people going in and out of the building, whether they were federal employees or civilians." "Obviously, he is an anti-American, anti-government extremist," Barnacle said. "We know that from what he said." One of the people injured was an immigrant who was at the building for a hearing. Barnacle said, which he described as "ironic, given Arrabaca's alleged hatred for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "

Why do North and South American countries offer citizenship based on unrestricted Jus Soli (right of soil)? - "Cynical answer? It's to justify the suppression of native peoples by immigrant cultures and their largely European ruling classes.

Instead, you establish rights that favour your own interests at the expense of others'. And now that the native peoples are outnumbered by the immigrants and their descendants, you can further suppress native interests based on majority rule."
