That actually is not a bad thing. It means they fight to defend marriage equality. The Republicans ultimate goal is to repeal the Loving decision. The fight against gay marriage is just a stepping stone towards that goal.
For MAGA the only thing they really care about is the return of segregation. They don't want us around.

The mythical tie between immigration and crime
Research by Stanford’s Ran Abramitzky and co-authors uncovers the most extensive evidence to date that immigrants are less likely to be imprisoned than U.S.-born individuals.
Opponents of immigration often argue that immigrants drive up crime rates. But newly released research from Stanford economist Ran Abramitzky and his co-authors finds that hasn’t been the case in America for the last 140 years.
The study reveals that first-generation immigrants have not been more likely to be imprisoned than people born in the United States since 1880.
Today, immigrants are 30 percent less likely to be incarcerated than are U.S.-born individuals who are white, the study finds. And when the analysis is expanded to include Black Americans — whose prison rates are higher than the general population — the likelihood of an immigrant being incarcerated is 60 percent lower than of people born in the United States.
While other research has also debunked claims that immigration leads to more crime, this study of incarceration rates provides the broadest historical look at the relationship between immigration and crime across the country and over time, says author Abramitzky. Abramitzky is the Stanford Federal Credit Union Professor of Economics and senior associate dean of social sciences in the School of Humanities and Sciences, as well as a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR).
The study is detailed in a working paper released by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Using U.S. Census Bureau data, it focuses on immigrants present in the Census regardless of their legal status and on men between the ages of 18 and 40.
“From Henry Cabot Lodge in the late 19th century to Donald Trump, anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but our research confirms that this is a myth and not based on fact,” says Abramitzky, whose 2022 book, Streets of Gold: America’s Untold Story of Immigrant Success,examines the many misconceptions around immigration.
An analysis of U.S. Census data by SIEPR Senior Fellow Ran Abramitzky and his collaborators shows immigrants have had similar or lower incarceration rates than white U.S.-born men for the last 140 years of American history.
In their analysis of Census data from 1850 to 2020, Abramitzky and his co-authors find that, compared to U.S.-born individuals, immigrants as a group had higher incarceration rates before 1870 and similar rates between 1880 and 1950. Since 1960, however, immigrants have been less likely to be incarcerated than have the U.S.-born.
According to the study, this is the case for almost every region in the world that is a major source of immigrants to the United States. As of 2019, immigrants from China and eastern and southern Europe were committing the fewest number of crimes — as measured by incarceration rates — relative to U.S.-born individuals.
The exception is Mexican and Central American immigrants, but the higher incarceration rates for this group since 2005 is largely attributed to the fact that the Census data combines incarceration for criminal acts with detentions for immigration-related offenses, the researchers say in the paper. Incarceration rates among Mexican and Central American immigrants were similar to those of U.S.-born individuals between 1980 and 2005.
What’s more, comparing the imprisonment of Mexican and Central American immigrants to that of white males born in the United States based on education tells a different story, according to Abramitzky. Men without a high school degree are the group most likely to be incarcerated for criminal activity. “But Mexican and Central American immigrants with low levels of education, which comprise a large share of immigrants from this region, are significantly less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born men with similarly low levels of education,” he says.
Abramitzky’s co-authors include Leah Platt Boustan, an economics professor at Princeton and co-author of Streets of Gold; Elisa Jácome, an assistant professor of economics at Northwestern and a former SIEPR postdoctoral fellow; Santiago Pérez, an associate professor of economics at the University of California, Davis; and Juan David Torres, a Stanford PhD student in economics and former predoctoral fellow at SIEPR.
Immigrants vs. U.S.-born: Different economic forces
In setting out to compare criminality over time, the researchers took on a big challenge: Finding credible evidence of a connection between immigration and crime — and over a long time period — is extremely difficult. Other studies have relied on arrests records, but those do not include immigration status or birthplace. They also include arrests for minor infractions, which can reflect police bias more than actual crimes.
Instead, Abramitzky and his collaborators chose to analyze incarceration rates, which they say are better indicators of serious crime because they often require a conviction. As their primary data source, they turned to decennial censuses and surveys from the U.S. Census Bureau, which include information on individuals in correctional facilities and their birthplace — thereby allowing the researchers to build what they say is the first nationally representative dataset of incarceration rates for immigrants and the U.S.-born going back 170 years.
The researchers say it’s not entirely clear why the data show that immigrants have been imprisoned at increasingly lower rates than U.S.-born males since 1960.
“Many of the explanations we had in mind turned out to NOT be right when we looked at the data,” Abramitzky says. For example, examining differences in age, marital status, or education levels among immigrants didn’t provide a clue. Nor did changes in immigration policy or the states in which immigrants settled.
It is also unlikely, he says, that deportations contributed to the relatively lower rates of immigrant incarcerations.
The researchers conclude the likely explanation is that first-generation immigrants are faring better overall (and not just with respect to incarceration rates) than are U.S.-born men — especially compared to those without a high school diploma.
Globalization and advances in technology have hit white males hard, especially those who were born in the United States and who didn’t finish high school. Compared to immigrants, they are much more likely to be unemployed, unmarried, and in poor health — and perhaps more prone to commit crimes as a result, Abramitzky says.
The manual jobs that immigrants typically take on have been stable by comparison. Other studies have shown that immigrants also are, among other characteristics, highly adaptable and resilient.
“Recent waves of immigrants are more likely to be employed, married with children, and in good health,” Abramitzky says. “Far from the rapists and drug dealers that anti-immigrant politicians claim them to be, immigrants today are doing relatively well and have largely been shielded from the social and economic forces that have negatively affected low-educated U.S.-born men.”
Stop the bullshit, this is just one state. Imagine what the numbers are nationwide.
According to DHS status indicators, over 428,000 criminal aliens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011, and January 31, 2024, of which over 299,000 were classified as illegal aliens by DHS.
Between June 1, 2011, and January 31, 2024, these 299,000 illegal aliens were charged with more than 513,000 criminal offenses which included arrests for 950 homicide charges; 64,833 assault charges; 9,307 burglary charges; 60,295 drug charges; 1150 kidnapping charges; 25,759 theft charges; 39,993 obstructing police charges; 2,933 robbery charges; 6,487 sexual assault charges; 7,476 sexual offense charges; and 6,253 weapon charges. DPS criminal history records reflect those criminal charges have thus far resulted in over 187,000 convictions including 468 homicide convictions; 23,491 assault convictions; 4,667 burglary convictions; 25,107 drug convictions; 329 kidnapping convictions; 9,679 theft convictions; 15,718 obstructing police convictions; 1,634 robbery convictions; 3,059 sexual assault convictions; 3,411 sexual offense convictions; and 2,033 weapon convictions.

We're a merciful country fam
No sis I didn’t mean that in a negative way.
My point was as a man, you mean what you say, say what you mean. We have too many men that complain about things vs using logic to come up with a solution and execute. Too many emotional men that lack emotional intelligence.
I work in an industry that’s mostly women and some women can gossip a lot and be chatty patty about things. Not all but some. That’s where I was coming from. As a man you don’t whine and complain, you figure out a solution.
Probably worded it wrong, but I meant no disrespect
Keep digging.
Sooner or later yall gonna have to realize the male gender is full of Hemotional wusses and own the traits yall keep trying to put on us womenfolk. Their behavior is not an anomaly, it's the norm.

How the fuck do these people come from another country illegally and demand that we give them housing better than veterans and better than Black people that are owed reparations. Like Don King says Only in America. Any other country in the world you'd get a bullet in the head for invading someone's country which is really what a lot of these illegals deserve. At this point I would be shocked if Trump didn't win and win with a landslide.

Man it takes some balls to come to another country and demand to be taken care of.
Well damn. 320,000 "migrants" just caught a flight into the country. Fuck that walking shit. Just book an appointment on the handy border app and fly direct. Biden refuses to say which airports.

They aren't illegals or migrants anymore. Biden calls them "newcomers." You don't deport "newcomers" now do you?

How do you fly 320,000 people on planes into the US using an app? Anybody that believes this shit needs to smash their cell phone.
They hate being black. Sad, but it is a thing.
We didnt have Russian influence on the internet back then.
In 1996 a black person knew where they stood and there was nobody to throw in a wrench. There also werent grifters like Tariq in political spaces either.
The people who owe you reparations have brought in 8 million “newcomers” who don’t look poor at all. You've seen the videos. 320,000 of them had enough money to hop on a plane. Many are being dumped in Black neighborhoods. Some are robbing, assaulting and murdering. Lucy has pulled the football away once again. Re-read the title of this thread. You shouldn’t be offended by criticism of bad policy.
Sounds to stupid to be true but the democrat party does really stupid things. You just download the app, make an appointment to schedule a time to show up to the border to be processed into the country or just catch a flight directly into the U.S. if you not don't like walking across multiple countries. Biden gives you options bro.
CBP One™ Mobile Application
"Use of the CBP One™ app to schedule appointments at land ports of entry has increased CBP’s capacity to process migrants more efficiently and orderly while cutting out unscrupulous smugglers who endanger and profit from vulnerable migrants. The app is free to download, and users can register 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To ensure efficiency and enhance security, beginning on Monday, March 4, 2024, noncitizens in Central and Northern Mexico can request CBP One™ appointments between the hours of 12 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. ET each day."
Yep. Super coons. The second I hear support for that orange turd I block their channel.
That Russian check must have cleared again this morning
You gonna answer this while you are worried about policing black American votes?The internet is a magnificent invention. It allows people, from ANYWHERE to say ANYTHING.
In 2020, the Social Metrics Commission found that nearly half (46%, 900,000 people) of all people living in families where the household head was Black/African/Caribbean/Black British were in poverty, compared to just under one in five (19%) of those living in families where the head of household was White.
https://irr.org.uk/research/statistics/poverty/
The fact somebody, with a straight face, can come on this site and claim the richest black people on earth have not gotten anything for their votes when in their own nation nearly 1 and 2 black families live in outright poverty, with NO opportunity to speak of is insanity. A group of people with no political representation, whose grandparents with the windrush scandal are not even being given citizenship, and who's representation is abysmal needs to be pointed out.
You all have not gotten a fraction from your own leadership that we have got out of democrats, but you can say we arent getting enough? You must be taking the piss, or getting some money from a Russian. If its the former then do better, if its the latter then I understand since you have no opportunity at home.
This is NUTS
