1. Obviously this is logistically impossible; no, the United States cannot handle eight billion people tomorrow. The infrastructure would collapse.
2. How did full open borders become a left position? Historically, left parties — worker labor movements — were always strongly opposed to immigration because it competes so aggressively with the labor of the working class.
Famous San Francisco labor organizer Cesar Chavez used to run his own border control force. Bernie Sanders used to be an immigration restrictionist. Even the Democrat party under Bill Clinton, or when Hillary was running, was just very plainly opposed to illegal immigration. When did this stuff change? When did the polar opposite become mainstream? Was it, like so many other things, just a knee-jerk reaction to Trump in 2015 when he said "build the wall"?"
Left wingers still claim the democrats are a centre right party and that they're not for open borders

bumbadum on X - ""The fed govt cannot coerce states to enforce federal law" Dawg what was this then???"
Sulla on X - "This is a good retort and should be argued anyways because it’s simple and normies won’t question it but for those wondering I’ll explain. The government has a duty not to violate your rights. In general, most amendments are like “stop doing this” not “start doing this” although some are positive like the right to a jury or lawyer. In Brown v Board, the Court found that segregated schools violated the 14th amendment rights of African Americans to equal protection. Subsequently, states had to get rid of their segregation laws and begin desegregating schools. They could not deny a study just because she was black (negative right - thou shall not … ) In below image the governor of Arkansas basically refused to enforce this ruling, so Eisenhower sent in the troops to “protect people’s rights” Where it gets fishy is that schooling often pulled from local neighbors which at the time were segregated. Even if a white elementary school allows blacks to attend, why would they ? No black people live in that area. The courts then began creating a positive duty for busing. This became a huge fight especially in Boston where Judge Garrity basically ran the Boston School system himself for a decade or more The 14A and CRA also led to new court precedent to establish what exactly constituted a “violation of rights.” Facially neutral policies like cognitive tests or banning ex-cons from employment became the basis of massive EEOC lawsuits with multi-million dollar payouts based on disparate impact alone. This seeded the DEI-HR complex. So too had the federal government engaged in mild coercion. Obama threatened to revoke funding for higher education back in 2012 unless schools did more to crack down on Title IX violations and sexual assault. But this wasn’t “technically” enforcing federal law but instead about protecting women’s 14th amendment right to equal protection you see even if it required positive duties by universities The government has also dangled financial carrots and sticks. The Feds have threatened to strip funding for everything under the sun including highway speed limits, the drinking age, education standards, criminal justice standards, and welfare programs. Notably however courts have found you can do this for sanctuary cities (how convenient!) As for the crisis in Minneapolis, the Feds cannot coerce them into enforcing federal law because there is no right being violated. There is no Constitutional right to safety (maybe there should be? We could use it against Soros DAs) The Feds can invoke the insurrection act IF states refuse to put down domestic violence or are unlawful obstructing the enforcement of Federal law (cf Little Rock, Oxford, Los Angeles). However, non-cooperation is not necessarily obstruction. If MPD forcibly tried to stop DHS from enforcing the law, that’s different from them simply not cooperating on detainers or answering a call for help. In summary, the Constitution, specially the 14th amendment, gives liberal Administrations enormous power to coerce states on things like civil rights, DEI, and disparate impact while giving little power to conservative administrations to coerce state governments into doing things like immigration enforcement or basic public safety"

Freely Ashley on X - ""ICE is executing people in the streets!" No, they really aren't. If they were, scenes like this wouldn't be commonplace. People wouldn't have the chance to escalate this far in an actual police state without thousands dying. Just look at what's happening in Iran. Yet, protestors here cosplay being unjustly targeted when they are seeking out these volatile situations. There are people amongst them whose goal is to agitate, instigate, and escalate situations involving ICE. They welcome people being harmed/killed because they believe it fuels support for their cause all the more. And it gives them an excuse to escalate more. Of course, situations resulting in injury or death need to be thoroughly investigated to determine what happened, who, if anyone, is at fault, and how it could be prevented in the future. At the same time, we have to start acknowledging that a scene like this isn't a peaceful protest or assembly, it's a violent demonstration. And just as the US has the right to enforce their immigration laws, they also have the right to disband protests once they become violent. But for some reason, people are pretending as if rioting is an acceptable form of protest. And I think if you believe ICE officers should be held accountable for their actions (which they obviously should if they overstep), you should also be applying that principle of accountability to violent agitators who are doing insane things under the guise of protest."

Pay Roll Manager Here on X - "There’s a serious mental illness problem amongst so many American women at this point. Part of it is their need for attention and their ability to get it via hysterical behavior. The other part is the need to be dominated. This really cannot be overstated. Empathy is the justification for their concern with ICE, but for some % of women, what’s really driving their ICE encounters is the desire to come into contact with a masculine and dominating entity. Empathy is not the only reason most of these interactions come from women and male nurses. These are just feminine people and the feminine desire attention, to be dominated, to feel strong even when they’re not (Ilhan faking an attack for attention + fake lunging at the attacker to look strong) and to just feel “seen”. Just look at her body language. She’s fixing her hair while recording herself. That is not what ppl who are terrified to the point of tears do. This is all an attention grab for her and every other woman and male nurse doing this shit."
The Revolution Will Be Cosplayed - "I’ve observed demonstrations for decades—from the civil rights and anti-war marches of the 1960s, through ANTIFA, BLM, George Floyd, and now Anti-ICE actions. Looking across that historical arc, I see a psychological shift in protest culture that has less to do with politics than with human nature. Humans evolved to navigate danger, status, and belonging in small tribal groups. Those instincts never vanished; they were merely displaced. In a society where most people rarely face existential threats, the appetite for intensity finds substitutes—extreme sports, competitive hobbies, or, increasingly, moral struggle. When people operate inside environments they instinctively know are safe—bounded by laws, media attention, and predictable institutional responses—behavior changes. Outrage becomes ritualized. What starts as protest gradually drifts into performance. Contemporary demonstrations offer a kind of safe danger: confrontation without war, rebellion without revolution. Everyone subconsciously understands there is a line that will not be crossed. That knowledge transforms the experience into controlled play. The old saying goes that the revolution will not be televised. Today’s “revolution” is closer to scripted reality TV. The anger we see is real, but what people are angry about often has little to do with what they are ostensibly protesting. You cannot truly reproduce another person’s pain unless you’ve lived something closely analogous—and even then, suffering is too personal to transfer cleanly from one nervous system to another. When individuals realize they aren’t feeling the rage or empathy they think they should, they become angry at that inability itself. What usually passes for empathy in mass movements is something closer to emotional simulation. People imagine what pain might feel like, then act accordingly. But imagination is shaped by narratives, symbols, and social cues. Over time, emotional expression becomes less about understanding another’s lived experience and more about performing an expected role. At that point, empathy becomes imitation. And empathy-as-performance is highly visible. It generates eyeballs and clicks—the currency of modern activism. People chant, cry, rage, and posture because those behaviors signal moral alignment to the group. Signs, slogans, and gestures become props in a shared drama. The original grievance fades into the background while participation itself moves center stage. Protest stops being primarily about outcomes and starts being about identity—being seen, belonging, and occupying a righteous place in a public narrative. Participants become actors on a civic stage, playing parts absorbed from social media, cable news, and prior events. The rhythms are familiar, scripted, and repetitive. Real risk is replaced by amplified rhetoric. Conflict becomes stylized and predictable—more like a corporate outing to play laser tag than genuine confrontation. While the emotional intensity feels authentic to the players, it is sustained by performance rather than proximity to actual danger or suffering. This dynamic reveals a profound asymmetry in how society distributes emotional concern. Law enforcement operates in environments of genuine, unpredictable danger. ICE officers and their families endure sustained stress, moral injury, and exposure to violence that most civilians will never experience. It doesn’t photograph well, so it receives little empathy—and we know from experience that what is quiet and routine is ignored; what can be dramatized commands attention. Once protest becomes ritualized, it becomes easily manipulated. Organizers don’t need to persuade people with complex arguments. They only need to supply a moral frame, a villain, and a stage. Participants provide the energy themselves, drawn by promises of meaning and belonging. What emerges is an army of true believers assembled at virtually no cost, animated less by concrete goals than by emotional rewards. The process follows a familiar arc: grievance becomes simulation, simulation becomes performance, and performance hardens into identity. When that happens, the cause becomes secondary. The ritual becomes primary. People are no longer trying to alleviate suffering. They are trying to inhabit a role. This is why demonstrations feel disconnected from practicality—and why so much of it just seems pointless. In the grand scheme of things, these events aren’t designed to solve problems. They are designed to satisfy psychological needs: connection, moral affirmation, and controlled intensity. In a society that has grown materially safe but spiritually restless, protest becomes a substitute for purpose. When real hardship recedes, people begin to simulate catastrophe. They moralize boredom, ritualize grievance, and replace consequence with choreography. Empathy becomes a costume and outrage becomes set dressing. When that happens, protest becomes performance art—played out on Minneapolis’ subfreezing streets and its church sanctuaries as if it were an off-Broadway play, not because it changes the world, but because it makes participants feel alive and part of a tribe."

The shoplifting charge itself was not bail eligible, but Judge Sheridan Jack-Browne, a Democrat who won a special election last year in Brooklyn, would have had the federal arrest warrant...

mike bski on X - "Slavery hasn't ended in the USA. It's alive and thriving in Democrat-controlled states. Now before you start typing furiously, hear me out. See, the Democrat Party has always required an underclass. Always. In the antebellum South? Actual slaves. During Jim Crow? Black Americans denied economic opportunity through segregation. And today? Illegal immigrants trapped in what I can only describe as economic bondage - while Democrats simultaneously steal congressional representation from states full of actual citizens. Let me break down the con for you. Nineteen states hand out driver's licenses to non-citizens. Fifteen of those have automatic voter registration tied to getting that license. The only thing standing between a non-citizen and the voter rolls? A checkbox. That's it. No proof required. Just... check the box. I watched testimony from Arizona where Democrat lobbyists were asked point-blank: should you have to be a citizen to vote? Their faces said everything. They squirmed. They deflected. The ACLU rep finally admitted voting should be "fair and accessible to everyone who is eligible" - then had to be reminded that means CITIZENS. You know what this reminds me of? The slave state versus free state fights over political power. Different century, same playbook. Missouri's Attorney General just launched a lawsuit to stop counting illegal aliens in the census. Here's why that matters: the census counts warm bodies, not citizens. More bodies means more congressional seats. More seats means more federal dollars. California's got roughly two MILLION illegal aliens. That's basically four Wyomings worth of representation being STOLEN from citizen states. From YOUR state. And here's the part that really grinds my gears. Democrats scream about $15-20 minimum wages while running a system where undocumented workers can't negotiate fair pay because their boss can threaten to call ICE. "Take what I'm offering or get deported." That's not empowerment. That's coercion with extra steps. You know what Southern plantation owners used to say? "Who's going to pick the cotton?" You know what Democrats say now? "Americans won't do those jobs." Same argument. Same exploitation. Different packaging. But here's the kicker - Democrats don't actually WANT these immigrants to become citizens. Why? Because Latino immigrants typically bring strong religious convictions, traditional family structures, and an insane work ethic. Give them citizenship? They build businesses. They prosper. And then they vote like people who've actually lived the American Dream - for limited government and economic freedom. Can't have that. Democrats need dependents, not successes. Quinn's First Law nails it: "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent." They claim to protect immigrants while trapping them. They claim to champion workers while exploiting them. They claim to defend democracy while diluting citizen votes. The Democrat Party defended slavery. Created Jim Crow. Founded the KKK as enforcement. Filibustered the Civil Rights Act. No party switch happened. They just swapped plantations for projects and chains for welfare checks. Pass the SAVE Act. Require proof of citizenship to register. Stop counting non-citizens in the census. End. Modern. Slavery. But what do I know? I'm just a science teacher who reads history books instead of getting my civic education from politicians who can't answer a simple yes-or-no question under oath."

Thread by @shellenberger on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Calling anti-ICE riots an "insurrection" or "insurgency... poses dangers," says @nytimes. It "legitimizes the use of violence," says a CSIS expert. Funny, then, how The Times labeled January 6 an "insurrection" and the same CSIS expert called J6 a "terrorist incident."
The Times uses the word "insurgency" rather than "insurrection" for its headline, even though not a single one of the people the article criticizes uses that word. Three use the word "insurrection" and one uses the word "revolution." Perhaps that's because the Times knows that it led the charge to label January 6 as an "insurrection," and that it is now engaging in flagrant hypocrisy. nytimes.com/2026/01/31/us/…
Even more disturbing is that the article quotes Seth G. Jones @SethGJones saying, “When you start using the language of warfare and treating someone that has an opposing view as a terrorist or as an insurgent, that legitimizes the use of violence against them." Well, that's precisely what Jones and his coauthors did in a 2022 @CSIS report, "Pushed to Extremes: Domestic Terrorism amid Polarization and Protest," which labeled January 6 as "the most prominent instance" of a domestic "terrorist incident." csis.org/analysis/pushe…
On January 7, 2021, @nytimes not only called J6 an "insurrection," it encouraged teachers to teach students that social media was to blame. The Times would go on to demand government censorship of citizens in the name of preventing "insurrection." nytimes.com/2021/01/07/lea… On February 5, in a long piece based on "a digital file containing the precise locations of more than 12 million individual smartphones for several months in 2016 and 2017," NY Times writers @cwarzel and Stuart A. Thompson, who has repeatedly demanded censorship, called J6 an "insurrection." nytimes.com/2021/02/05/opi…
I don't think anyone will try to deny that The New York Times repeatedly called J6 an "insurrection," but here are a few more examples."

In another video, the medical professional suggested anti-ICE agitators could target the feds with poison ivy... She also urged women to lure unsuspecting ICE agents in on dating apps — and then spike their drinks to get them off the streets."
Clearly, this is ICE's fault and the hospital is persecuting her and violating her right to free speech
