  3.  @sourabh7137 Yeah, and economists also make it clear that migration is the best way to fight poverty, and in fact the potential benefits are off-the-charts. Let the migrants work.

  4.  @ak14serko44  Did you watch the video? Among other things, they tell lies about cancer, infertility, depression, etc. They misrepresent themselves as legitimate medical facilities. Also, embryos aren't babies.

  7.  @ruaraidh74  Helping babies? You're not referring to these awful places, are you?

  8.  @ruaraidh74  They don't save lives. They misrepresent themselves as medical facilities, lie to & shame women, and try to run out the clock, among other things. They're absolutely insidious.

  13. Embryos and fetuses aren't babies. Also: *their.

  14. If they were Christians, or at least non-Muslims, there might actually be a push to take in a certain number of them.

  16. It's an ongoing criminal investigation.

  17.  @FigsForYou These people are not illegal immigrants, but that's beside the point. Taking one job doesn't mean that it takes one away, except in the very short term. Not only that, but migrants are very often better candidates for low-skill jobs than US citizens are (if US citizens are applying in sufficient numbers anyway). You must know how difficult it is for managers to get good help these days. There is no "lump of labor," no matter how many populists on the left or right promote the idea.

  18.  @ceeIoc Look at how refugees/asylees are re-settled.
    1
  19.  @ceeIoc  They're not exactly "living large." Nobody in their position is. It's a simple humanitarian measure, and it's an obligation to people fleeing from violence. Said violence often has its origins in US policy, by the way.

  20.  @ceeIoc  They're fleeing violence, among other things. They're entitled to the opportunity to claim asylum/refuge. Also, there is no "line" to get in for lower-skilled workers, as there are almost no such visas available. Regarding the homeless, yes, that is also a crisis. This isn't an either/or situation.

  21.  @JC-tq8gm  There is no open border, asking for asylum is legal, and plenty of people did that during Trump's presidency. Stop repeating the same slogan over and over again. (I wish borders didn't exist, but that's another discussion.) Inflation is a global problem that has little to do with any particular President. Trump vetoed legislation that would have cut off the Saudis and ended their campaign of mass murder in Yemen.

  23.  @Jenna-zv6ve2sx4u  What communism? We have several communist parties of different flavors in this country. Indeed, I know communists. Nothing in this discussion has anything to do with communism.

  24.  @kevinbrown7326  There was no malfeasance. This was litigated over and over.

  28.  @waltersimmons946  Far left? There is no left in any position of power in the US. Tell me when the issue of who owns the means of production is discussed in "respectable" circles like, say, NBC.

  29.  @Shinobi33  If you're serious about the phrase "police guided tour," that's appalling. Also, get off the Covid conspiracy theories. Also: *you're.

  30.  @Shinobi33  Jared Kushner devised a federal plan for mass Covid-19 testing. Trump nixed it when he perceived that (at the time) the virus was having the most effect in areas that don't vote for him anyway. This is no secret. It was quite heavily reported by reliable sources.

  31.  @texasaggieproud  Most of us? No, most of us got vaccinated, which is why the pandemic per se is over. You got damned lucky not to win the Herman Cain Award.

  32.  @irenerodriguez4269  Who was it who spent the winter of 2020-2021 trying by multiple means to overturn the election?

  35.  @weezem  Once again: Several of the attackers were caught with firearms, and who knows how many weren't caught. More firearms were stashed nearby, along with explosives. Some of the attackers had blades, quite a few had chemical sprays, some used tasers/stun guns, and of course they had hundreds/thousands of blunt instruments. They came within a few yards and a few moments of lynching lawmakers, preventing certification of the election, and causing a constitutional crisis. The attack was premeditated, and it was the culmination of a months-long effort to overturn an election that Trump admitted to losing. We've seen a veritable avalanche of evidence, most of it from administration insiders. It's not in dispute.

  41. It's not either/or. Migrants are a stimulus anyway. Let them have work authorization.

  42.  @Tokyodreams98  For one thing, that doesn't justify violence. For another: should *have.

  43.  @mmhthree  Does that justify violence?

  44.  @macscott2458  Indeed, it's a question of personhood, not life.
    1
  45.  @macscott2458  Personhood refers to the characteristics that make killing wrong: sentience, the will to live, biological autonomy, hopes & dreams, and all of the other things that are taken away when a person is killed. In a rudimentary but genuine way, babies have that. Embryos don't, and cannot. There's no harm in not being born.

  46.  @justapotato2434  No. Embryos don't have any of the traits of personhood.

  49.  @springerworks002  The coroner made it clear that Sicknick's injuries contributed to his fatal strokes. There were four subsequent suicides among the police.
