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!

Article from 2024.
It would be nice if mainstream media reported on this thing that we already know, though, so I appreciate the reminder.
This was reported all over at the time. It doesn't matter for a large enough portion of the population, and the current administration, so they're not going to do anything about it.
Don't the people that now hate musk tend to support illegals working here, or is that just a stereotype?
Many who hate musk because he is a Nazi actually would like the US to allow more immigration; to provide a path for immigrants already established to become 'legal'. At the very least not treat them inhumanly. It's only ideological coincident because these concepts are the logical, are aligned with decent values and sane.
Musk and his ilk want 'illegals' removed, and so his hypocrisy should be called out - especially since this backwards thinking comes from the lack of empathy and recognition that immigrants are people just like everyone else with aspirations, capabilities, contributions - so much like everyone else that in fact musk is one of them.
Surely that's irrelevant compared to the public figure featured in the story who hates immigration and supports sending illegal immigrants home?
Whether or not I, just some guy who can infer from statistics that immigration is factually a net positive, does not detract from a powerful guy whose personal convictions outweigh reality behaving like a hypocrite.
Let's not let the benefits of migration to every party get in the way of the guy who did the thing he said no one should do dodge the punishment he said everyone should get.
