Texas leads the charge
Did Buren not make a bill with the strong AF border reform that got shot down by mike cos it was packaged with Ukraine aid and he didn’t want that to be voted on.
I would like to see legislation that makes it illegal to package unrelated legislation. So much fuckery happens because of it. But the legislation to block packaged legislation would probably be packaged with other undesirable legislation.
…?
What are “illegals”? I’m fairly certain ‘illegal’ is an adjective but you and the headline appear appear to be incorrectly using it as a countable noun.

Ooooo, OP is being a bigot? That’s unfortunate. Here I was giving benefit of the doubt.
In your rush to win the most outraged contest you missed the word sometimes.

Can you explain how referring to a human being as “an illegal” can ever not be derogatory? 🤔
Easy it is a label to describe immigration status, like citizen, permanent resident, temporary nonimigrant workers (migrant),…
Immigrating into a country illegally means that person is guess what an illegal immigrant or illegal for short. Your negative views of the word illegal don’t change their status.

It isn’t being used that way (to describe a status). It is being used to describe a person as “illegal”.
A person being documented or not by a group which claims political authority over a geographic area does not make that person illegal.
It’s no different than calling a person a citizen. Your inability to understand the definition of illegal does not change its definition.

Illegals is just shortened illegal immigrant, just like temporary nonimigrant workers are called migrants. The negative connotation is yours.
Its a little rude but these are illegal immigrants we’re talking about. They dont deserve a lot of respect.

You don’t think all humans are worthy of dignity and respect?
Some would consider that terrible of you.
Not according to the left. Remember when Trump caught Covid and the left wished him death? Or when his brother died and the left cheered?

What relation does your mental conception of what some nebulous “the left” did-or-did-not do have to the discussion we are having here in c/conservative about whether the use of dehumanizing terms to refer to human beings is laudable?
Further, is wishing that someone you perceive as having an immense power and direct negative impact on you and your community would lose that power—even via dying—really comparable to dehumanizing an entire class of people?

Yes. Trump didn’t impact your life in a negative way, especially when compared to illegals.
Either everyone has value or they don’t. Don’t claim higher ground and then say everyone but Trump as it makes you look like a chump.
