One thing that wasnt explained well is: by adding to census numbers, and in turn, adding congressional districts, the number of electoral votes increase.

[@einnAnnie]

I wish that Brandon Judd had seen that Shane didn't really understand that a state using illegal immigration to add districts (and, thus, increase its number of House seats) has nothing to do with unlawful voting by aliens so that Shane could question the second guest about it.

[@jholden0]

@einnAnnie Although, I don't believe that adding congressional districts based on population growth is the driving force behind allowing anyone to enter the country illegally, it would be extremely advantagous to the Democratic party. Most elections over the past few decades have come down to very few electoral votes. I think the primary reason for this policy was to do the same thing that Trump did when he took office. To undo all of the major policy changes that Trump had campaigned on. Trump immediately tried to negate all of the progress Obama made during his tenure. If you want to see what a sudden uncontrollable population increase does to a country, you only have to look North to Canada and what effect it has had on the cost of housing, and the cost of living for all of its citizens.

[@ModemMage]

How did he obtain citizenship without understanding this? I thought that was very basic civics knowledge

[@PatrickThomasBrady]

And let’s say we grant all of these illegal immigrants citizenship as the democrats want to do, if your the party that’s been advocating on your behalf to become citizens and they’ve been in control of where to send them around the country, it’s not hard to see how drastically that would change outcomes of elections, in a country that’s fairly evenly split especially the national vote for presidential elections, this almost guarantees a democrat president every year, throw in these congressional districts being added, it’s an artificial makeover to the voter base, and political power shifted solely towards democrats

[@jholden0]

@@ModemMage I think you might be very surprised at the barriers to entry. Also, natural citizens don't know this. I would venture to say most Americans don't know this.

You paint a very inhumane picture… how about this, your economic situation in your country is so dire that you struggle to feed your children but you hear of a place where the streets are paved of gold. So you make the heat wrenching decision to leave your family, friends and everything you know behind to pursue the POSSIBILITY (not even a guarantee) of a better life for you and your family. So you risk your life to come through illegally (people die at the border all the time) and make it through. Now you take low paying labor intensive jobs to make money to send back home to support your family who all think you’re living the dream but in actuality you’re living in a one room rental working 10 hrs per day and also live with the fear that at any moment you could get caught by immigration and sent back home. The fear doesn’t even come from you not being able to live here anymore, the fear comes from you no longer being able to provide your family the better life style they’re living back home if you were to get deported. This my friend is when people lack empathy it’s because some politician has gotten you to view immigrants as not being real people. Because tell me if you were lucky enough to have been born in some other country you wouldn’t have done the SAME EXACT thing for your kids or family. None of this is to say that it justifies an illegal act but let’s not be hypocrites in the process

Interesting how the right still lied. We've had the same Border policy since 1952. Biden didn't open the Border tRump was only allowed to use remain in Mexico because of Covid. The Supreme Court changed it which happens to be a Republican majority after Covid was under control. And they didn't talk about the Langford bill written by a Republican. And tRump stopped it from being passed.

[@sheex410]

I have to be honest that I learned many specifics that politicians will not openly discuss, and it has informed how I view the issue. The one thing that never changes in our country, however: at the end of the day, it's all just a power play from the ruling class with a lot of collateral damage. We as voters need to actually inform ourselves and also demand transparency and accountability from our representatives. Until we hold ourselves accountable to this standard, the cycle will just continue.

[@NJRB23]

Yes, significantly when your low-income district in the Bronx is slashing school and town budgets to make room for migrants to stay in schools, airports, etc. Also, it isn't Congress's fault because the liberal policies always have hidden caveats, like letting in 5,000 migrants or sending millions to Ukraine. All politicians are clowns, but these liberals have lied about the COVID lab leak and the border costing thousands of deaths.

Thanks to the Internet there is much we can learn even without transparency and I would highly recommend that you fact check what this person has claimed.

This is a very informative and clearly articulated discussion about the differing sides and points of view about this issue. And I agree, that it's a political football used to manipulate us more than anything. The people wouldn't be coming if the powers that be, whenever and whoever they be, did not want them here. And though I don't personally find anyone coming here to be an issue - increasing my understanding of why it is a several decades long political debate designed to cloud recognition of the more damaging issues - of which immigration is just a movable part of what is used to fortify the interests and entitlements of the nobles.

Shane failed to understand the census point, in which States gain representation in Congress based on population (legal or illegal).

[@jeanniep1003]

First, there’s not enough illegal immigrants completing a census form every ten years to vastly change congressional districts, that argument in theory is true, but it’s not reality. Second, if we accept the hypothetical that immigrants greatly change the political landscape, the census is done every 10 years, it’s not like it’s an annual task. Finally, republicans change congressional maps through their gerrymandering efforts for every election cycle, that is a FACT vs their 10-year hypothetical census count!

[@who_bob2641]

I think of that as an interesting point and rational point of view. But why is Texas bussing them to NY or other 'blue' states? Are they complicit on this? I certainly can't be just because the cities are sanctuary cities because then that would protect them more from immigration enforcement.

[@jeanniep1003]

Because the system worked before and still works. Like the statistics on the chances someone was able to vote without registration in the presidential election was literally in three digits, which is extremely small when about 150+ million people voted. Trump created mistrust in the voting system so he can win, which is why Trump claimed voter fraud in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Despite him winning in 2016 and 2024.

[@AliceBowie]

​@allenliu8820 There's definitely weird things that make it easier to believe that there might be fraud that they should address if they don't want people to take voter fraud claims seriously. Most states count their votes completely by a few hours after the polls close. But then the swing states are counting all night and morning. And California and Alaska take a week. Then there's computerized voting machines, which take longer to count, have errors every election, and don't leave paper records. Then there's a few states that always have a massive jump in votes for democrats at 3am from mail in ballots. It happened in 2024, too, in Wisconsin and New Mexico, just not enough for Trump to lose. In 2020, they explained it as democrats using mail in ballots more than Republicans, but in this election, mail in ballots were split evenly. But there was still that 3am spike for democrats. Also, Democrats used to claim election fraud when they lost, too. They complained about voting machines in 2000. If there's an explanation, why deflect from answering?

GREAT INTERVIEWS- THANKS FOR SHARING

[@sullywully8742]

As an immigrant, I'm wondering what this gentleman is smoking saying "the only way to come in is to go to the border and seek asylum". I came here for school, then worked, then got green card, like 100s of thousands of people every year. And I don't even hate my home country at all or had any issue back home so that I had to seek asylum. It's incredibly dishonest to frame it so dramatically, ignoring 100s of thousands of people getting in legitimately every year. To me the experience was simple: It's just that I got to do what I needed to do, and I contributed to the American society and I was given a chance after stated my reasons, rightfully so. I didn't even have to get my green card through marriage with my American spouse. If you have legitimate reasons to be here, aka you are a prospect of becoming a contributing member of this society, you have more than enough ways to get in. However we design this process with empathy and intelligence, it should probably be a bit harder than just turning up at the border.

[@DesertflowerUSA]

Great interviews, very informative

[@dankelly2147]

As a resident of the borderlands along the Mexican border in the mountains of the Sonoran Desert, the situation here is insane in the extreme. Those of living here and the Border Patrol are the meat in this sandwich. The unwillingness of the Congress to institute a cogent immigration AND border policy so as to use scapegoating as a political whip has resulted in continuing deaths along our border; an unprecedented number of migrants swarming the border; the proliferation of vigilante militia violence in a miasma of fear-based hate against migrants. Our current situation is imbecilic and absurd in the extreme. The bill that Trump harpooned would have begun to institute the controls needed. What had been primarily Mexican and Central American migrants has now become a potpourri of Asians (primarily Chinese and Indians), South Africans and others who cross the line, sit down and await arrest to claim asylum. The libertarian last interviewed and the man preceding him presented the most cogent descriptions of the situation I have heard. Sadly, with the election of Trump whose modus is fear-mongering and to feed nativist paranoia, the pending wholesale deportations are an economic disaster waiting to happen. Until rational players in the Congress establish proper reforms and funding for addition of asylum judges to close the time gap on adjudicating asylum cases; for detention and deportation of those not qualifying; and for institution of reasonable legal means of migration reform making legal immigration available, we will have nothing but greater human tragedies along the border.

The greatest cause for these mass migrations is the policy combined with the fact our billion-dollar-funded non-profit organizations which we funded for the purpose of helping migrants get on their foot in another country (example Venezuelans fleeing to Colombia) are not truly accessible to those migrants who fled. They may hand out food at an event. But as far as migrants being able to contact them, and seek their help to find work, and helping connect them with affordable rent and open a bank account in new country. All of this seems simple enough but is actually insanely harder than it really is and I know for this from experience having been involved with humanitarian outreach for years. But this is what news does not ever cover. This is also what politicians never seek to resolve. So all I can do is try to raise funds to do what they aren't doing even though we've already given by tax dollars about just shy of 1 billion to these foreign aide groups for latin countries and for migrants fleeing to neighboring countries. Meanwhile we send billions to Ukraine and nearly a trillion in total to Ukraine and Israel if not more.

This time President Trump came with strong legislative support so I think things may be different this time. Let's see.

You mean he doesn't support an ex-president billionaire, supported by the richest man in the world (who also happens to be one of the pentagon's largest defense contractors)- who pretend they AREN'T 'insiders' or 'the elite'? Welcome to the Oligarchic Idiocrasy 2024! Orwell was 40 years off but man. We got there at last!

Im a nurse (Bachelors) and I was literally replaced last year by filipino nurses…who paid 10% of what I paid for school and have no student loans….My hospital brought them in by the hundreds postpandemic and now theres no overtime, raises, extra pay/benefits at all! So I am now completely antiimmigrant and will prob remain so the rest of my life…(and Im a democrat) but Im glad Trump won. Remember. - Rome fell partially from inside, partially from outside. And if you dont like ur own country - then fix it! Oh, and they dont fit in with our staff, they sit and talk in Tagolog all night to each other, something Ive never seen before with any other nurses. Myself and many other nurses couldnt stand it plus it was unsafe so we left. (The filipino nurses have so much on the line with their jobs, visas, they wont risk it to speak up for safety which is required as a nurse.) Is this the environement you want ur mom taken care of in??

[@jeanniep1003]

Sounds like you’ve directed your ire in the wrong direction. The problem you describe is a healthcare labor issue more than an immigration problem. Also, how did hospitals “bring in” these Philippine nurses? Was it under their auspices? Because that would need some kind of government approval. There’s a lot of holes in your story for me to believe the problem is the immigration system and not the labor/healthcare system.

@@2dub2steadyand you obviously have difficulty comprehending the written word, the fact that I asked questions implies I’m not wholly knowledgeable about the subject posted by the OP. I don’t claim to know everything, nor do I cast judgment on others about their knowledge like you did here, albeit wrong!

[@2dub2steady]

@@jeanniep1003 Both of your comments are judgemental on their face. Calling my reading comprehension into question adds to my argument. You used "auspices" entirely out of context. No person close to you has the balls to tell you that you are entirely insufferable and frequently wrong. I can tell by your writing style that you see yourself as having high intellectual capital, but let's face it. You need to get high, laid or both. Be nice to people.

Working in healthcare through COVID-19 as a healthcare provider in the ER (nurse practitioner), I had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of nurses. Filipino nurses are some of the best med-surg and ICU nurses I have ever worked with. They are reliable, kind, caring, and efficient. Filipino nursing schools are on par with US programs. Further, the Filipino nurses I had the pleasure of working with are some of the most teamwork oriented nurses I have ever worked with. One phrase you will never hear from a Filipino nurse is "it's not my job". The overwhelming majority of US educated nurses are equally amazing. This country has a nursing shortage. We need all the help we can get. If you lost your job to an equally educated RN with similar experience and you were not terminated for a disciplinary problem, your issue is with your former employer, not a Filipino RN here doing good work. If this is a problem in your area or with your hospital system, I would suggest a phone call with a nursing labor union. You are taking out your anger on the wrong people. Your fight is with corporate America, not good Filipino nurses who choose to speak their native language amongst their friends.
