Republicans said "send refugees to liberal cities and see how they like it" and now that those cities are handling it fine they're mad about it and want to deport them all 🙄
All hail the Sofa King
Hope your next couch has a misplaced staple or two
He should be arrested for incitement to riot
I'm not sure if you've seen his skin color or that little 'R' near his name, but those are basically like a Ku Klux Klan hall pass.
"Illegal" is the new euphemism for "black".
When the white supremacists win power they plan to make non-whites illegal. Their existence will be a crime, and crime is undesirable, so...
Innocentia nihil probat
Id quod est iuris nihil probat
Literally 40k inquisition logic wtf.
Just throwing this out there, people aren't "illegal." Actions are illegal. It's not the immigrant that is illegal, it is the immigration. People are legally permitted to come to America for a wide variety of reasons. Entering the country without documentation is illegal. Staying past the expiration of a visa is illegal. Entering into a loveless marriage to skirt immigration laws is illegal. The person is not the crime.
When conservatives talk about immigration, they do their best to dehumanize the scapegoats in the stories they create. Calling them "illegals" is a conscious effort to make it easier to treat them as less than people.
Something many Americans don't seem to be educated about properly is asylum/refugee status. It used to be considered a good thing that a first world country would provide asylum for those in danger.
Both require the first entry to be an illegal entry, or to have an overstay. If you can enter or stay in a country legally, you don't need asylum there. You can just, y'know, stay.
America even recognises this by having asylum application stations some way but not very far inside the border, because if you have a massive continent sized country and expect people to go to an immigration office or something, they may not find it or may just not apply even if they have valid reason to.
This deliberate lack of education feels very like how some Americans were never properly educated on the actual purpose of the UN, or how taxes work, or uow "we're a republic not a democracy" is nonsense, or even what your president does. And they all feel like very deliberate political decisions to make this so.
So... Admitting he knows it's a lie and will continue. It is clearly meant to be a malicious statement and is meant to further his career, thereby resulting in a tangible gain on his end. Would the Haitians in Springfield be able to sue for defamation?
At this point you would think the accusations are repeated and specific enough.
He's also going to keep calling sofas "baby".
Seriously though, it isn't shocking to me that the GOP is actively lying. But it is scary that, after a lot of work, they have constituents that wholly believe the bullshit.
Every seat is a love seat to him
And im going to keep calling him JD couch fucker Vance
So, his response is to double down on lying by claiming that they're actually here illegally because they were only allowed in by an illegal order from Kamala Harris.
Nevermind that Harris gave no such order, that many of these immigrants arrived before Harris was the vice president, and that both the program that they are here under and the decision to make Haitians eligible for that program were authorized by Congress, which passed legislation to make this happen. It's not against the law, it is the fucking law!
Nazis gonna Naz.
Fuckers think 1984 was an instruction manual.
Vance says he will keep fucking couches.
Time to start punching these fascists until they know that their beliefs are not acceptable.
Have we seen JD's long form birth certificate?
How do we know he's even eligible to be VP?
If you're a vampire who was undead in the US at the time the constitution was signed, it doesn't matter where you were born.
And I'll keep calling him a dipshit dumbfuck, but only one of us will be factual in our statements.
