A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

The USA has a population nearing 400 million, you wouldn't think a few hundred thousand migrants a year would be an issue.

You're off by a couple orders of magnitude, the number of illegal entries into the U.S. is near 8 million a year.

How can you even post something so patently false. Like how does a ludicrous number like 8 million a year not raise flags with you?

The figures used by Haley, DeSantis and Cotton — 8 million or 10 million — are totals of all migrant encounters at the border plus gotaways, and, in Cotton’s case, encounters at the northern border, coastal borders and airports.

Ah, so made up bullshit. Got it.

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it doesn't fit your narrative it's made up bullshit.

Interesting, not a single line for "illegal immigration".

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How to let people know you know nothing about illegal immigration.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Post a list of items that aren't talking about illegal immigration?

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So an empty list then?

Or migrant protection protocol & other if you want to split hairs.

That sounds high. How much of that is transient seasonal labour?
