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!

Crazy that this doesn't outright buy citizenship, like some European countries do/used to do. Makes it a much smaller value.
Canada has a similar buy a visa system. But it's for investing rather than just buying.
Those didn't outright buy citizenship either. They gave permanent residency permits could later be converted to citizenship based on the country's naturalization laws.
Which is exactly what a green card is
Tell that to all the green hard holders they've detained.
Oh wait, you can't because nobody knows where the fuck they are.
My brother in Christ they have not detained 12 million people

But yes every one of them ICE has detained is wrong and illegal. Still that's not really what I was talking about anyway. A green card is supposed to be a permanent residency permit
Did you think I was suggesting that all green card holders were detained?
Because yeah, no. Read it again maybe?
Before this gets into a whole thing. I think that this discussion wasn't really the point or topic I was trying to address.
A green card is supposed to be permanent residency. Just like the purchased residences that some European countries had.
Trump using ICE and homeland security to commit crimes is a given
