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!

Why is no one being arrested for human trafficking? It's human trafficking no matter what the immigrant's legal status is.
I feel like I remember investigations when this stuff first happened, but they never went anywhere. I think the GOO has claimed they have the consent of the people on the buses, although it sounds like they are being mislead.
A lot of those people were lied to by the GOP politicians and staff
I keep hearing that they're misled. I can believe it. Has anyone gone undercover for a story or as an investigation to see what actually happens?
We need some hard reporting because all I see now is racial bias being triggered on the left. It's done with the best of intentions, but it's there nonetheless.
I live in California. Soon they'll be eligible to get Medical insurance. I have no issue with this. Let's empower people. Not resent them in some kind of low key way.
Here's one story from last time about them being misled when sent to Martha's Vineyard.
Basically they were told they were being helped or sent to one place where they have a hearing scheduled, or that their hearing was moved, then they'd be sent to whatever city instead.
Which, again, really sounds like human trafficking to me.
Are they making them sign something?
I am not sure they are being misled. I am also comfortable with more open border policies. But I also understand the border states being a bit frustrated. It fairly easy to shit on them when your state doesn't see the issues first hand. But getting back to the misleading part. With so many immigrants in a smaller area, being spread to cities like new York would certainly give them far more work options. Also a great deal of them may have relatives in various areas and this would make it easier to join them. I think this is a bonus overall to immigrants.
