I'd save your time...they won't watch, @Strike clearly can't read (or doesn't want to) and they will never accept what the piece is saying. You are wasting your energy at this point.

Geez you are whiny

It's because it isn't really an opinion piece. It would be best described as reported analysis- which is a format The Economist uses quite a bit. It uses actual reporting, and data, and examples to analyze the effects of current policy. It makes some arguments from there about what the policy means for families, the labor market, and the future of immigration....but of course my comment was not related to those things. I spoke specifically as to why people's opinions of ICE and immigration policy are changing. You know speaking about the factual polls and data that were used. @Strike- if he truly read the article (SPOILER- he didn't) would know that. But he's decided that his role here is to just be against people rather than for anything. You'll note that he has still yet to comment on anything specifically in the article. He just threw an accusation, got called on it, and then started crying "Opinion piece..." @Horseman then decided he needed to jump in and justify Strike being wrong and was of course wrong himself....but that's no surprise. He's always wrong. Dude is so dumb he'd screw up a wet dream. And now he will try to say something to get me to directly engage with him and I won't feed into it. See- don't block people, scroll right past and ignore them "This is the real way." He ain't worth the oxygen he takes up, so I ain't giving him any of mine to waste as well.

I read the piece. I clearly spoke to things in the piece. You still have not. But I appreciate your projecting

@Strike doesn't want to read the article. He'd know his wrong and we will all see him as the troll he is . That famous left wing news source FOX News has you fooled.

I gave you a ton of chances. You failed at every turn....I bet you got told a lot by your mom you were special as a kid

We know you have no idea....you didn't read anything

@Strike has admitted he doesn't actually read anything. I'd ignore him...maybe block him so you can be part of the circle jerk "This is the way" thread

So you admit you didn't read anything....solid work from you to self own yourself in 2 posts

Of course not...because you are clueless. But I'll help you with my post I made: It specifically mentions- in paragraph 7 (that's the number between 6 and 8..it begins with the word "Yet..." With border crossings now de minimis, Trump's deportations are mostly from the interior of the country, targeting many migrants who have been living in America for years."- which is almost exactly like what I said. I commented about why deportation is unpopular- the article does mention it is becoming increasingly popular. While they don't use the number Saints did it mentions how 47% of Americans now support abolishing ICE- including over a fifth of 2024 voters who voted for Trump. Those are direct numbers from the piece even below a helpful graph showing those numbers for people like you who can't read. It later goes on to bring up how the Trump team is making it easier to arrest people by terminating visas and humanitarian programs for other nationalities- and then they can grab people off the street and throw them out..

Tell me what you think the piece is saying.

I'm not sure why Megla had to run to you. I would've assumed a moderator icon indicates someone has banning powers. If they don't, they don't.

They went to draconian with it. There is absolutely a reason and place to be deporting people from the country. The problem is they made it something it shouldn't have been and the pendulum swung on them. In a general sense- people wanted criminals kicked out of the country...they didn't want the guy running the corner grocery they talk to everyday grabbing a coffee booted

Laporta..I think it's closer than some others think but yeah I'd go Laporta.

I see..being a moderator he can just ban someone of his own accord though correct?
