I agree that the powers that be would LIKE to do that, but in reality the white nationalists are a minority. Clock is ticking towards 2026.

This. The current moment sucks. But real America is a melting pot, and diversity is our strength and joy. MAGA has a flawed idea of American culture, which is based in freedom and democracy and respect for all individuals. This quest for some fictionalized idea of 'Murica is a minority obsession, and it will get quashed.

But this is exactly the issue, America is not a melting pot anymore. It definitely used to be, but over the last decade or decades less and less. The immigrants from each country have been staying tightly packed together with their culture, language, beliefs and religion, no outside influences allowed, and don’t even mingle between one country and another. We haven’t been melting together for a long time.

Most of Somalis are still on welfare after 10 years

As if they are a good decision Insane

If immigration were good, the left would not have to use insults to defend it. Wages are down, prices are up, and welfare spending has increased since immigration changed in 1965. It's not a good deal for Americans.

All of those declines also correlate with Republicans having control of Congress for a majority of the past 30 years. Curious.

Far right parties in Europe having more power than at any time since the 1930s isn’t the flex you think it is.

However “far right” to the media is normal democrats from the 1990’s

“Immigration policy must protect U.S. workers against unfair competition from foreign workers, with an appropriately higher level of protection to the most vulnerable in our society”
– June 28, 1995

Barbara Jordan, when Democrats were moderate and focused on helping US workers first!


Before it became "racist" to put the interests of Americans ahead of those of immigrants and illegal aliens:

"In 2005, a left-leaning blogger wrote, “Illegal immigration wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone.” In 2006, a liberal columnist wrote that “immigration reduces the wages of domestic workers who compete with immigrants” and that “the fiscal burden of low-wage immigrants is also pretty clear.” His conclusion: “We’ll need to reduce the inflow of low-skill immigrants.” That same year, a Democratic senator wrote, “When I see Mexican flags waved at proimmigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic resentment. When I’m forced to use a translator to communicate with the guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration.”

The blogger was Glenn Greenwald. The columnist was Paul Krugman. The senator was Barack Obama."

The anti-mass immigration right has indeed become the largest voting bloc in Europe, marking a significant political shift across the continent. This development is the result of a series of electoral gains by far-right and nationalist parties in multiple EU member states over the past two years.

🔺 Key Drivers of the Shift:

- Germany’s Political Realignment: Under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Germany has pivoted sharply to the right on immigration. Once a moderating force in EU migration policy, Berlin is now leading efforts to implement stricter asylum controls and increase deportations.

- Austria’s Far-Right Victory: In 2024, Austria’s Freedom Party (FPÖ), a populist party with roots in post-war far-right movements, won the largest share of votes in national elections (28.9%), signaling a broader continental trend.

- EU Parliamentary Elections: The 2024 European Parliament elections saw sweeping gains for anti-immigration parties, particularly in France and Germany. While center-right parties retained some ground, the far right surged from a relatively low base, reshaping the balance of power in Brussels.

- Nationalist Governments in Power: Countries like Italy (under Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy) and Hungary (under Viktor Orbán) have long been standard-bearers of hardline immigration policies. Their continued electoral strength has emboldened similar movements across the EU.

🧭 Implications for EU Migration Policy:

- Tougher Asylum Rules: The new political alignment is expected to accelerate the implementation of restrictive asylum measures, including faster deportations and external border fortification.

- Erosion of Consensus: The growing influence of nationalist parties is fracturing the EU’s traditional consensus on migration, with countries like Germany abandoning their previous centrist positions.

- Impact on EU Unity: While the anti-immigration bloc is now the largest, Europe remains divided. Some member states and political factions continue to resist hardline approaches, raising the risk of institutional gridlock or legal challenges.

The anti-mass immigration right just became the largest voting block in Europe.

No it absolutely does not.

Long long overdue

Common sense

Simply amazing that democrats are so out of touch with US workers

How does reducing the number of small businesses help US workers, exactly?

It does NOT reduce the number of businesses

It reallocates the limited pot of money to US citizens

Got it ?

Read a little. Something other than WAPO or DCUM

Oh, did the loan program run out of money last year? Does it have a quota? That’s news. Please share the link to a news story describing this.

Otherwise you’re full of it. Limiting who can get these loans means fewer US businesses will get them, meaning fewer US businesses will operate, meaning fewer

US workers will be employed.

I have never known a gov program with unlimited budget

Please tell me how this works ?

The Small Business Administration (SBA) confirms it is "totally bankrupt."

It says it has "no funds left" to help desperate small businesses in Western North Carolina.

Yet, just 24 days after Helene ravaged #WNC, the Biden/Harris admin sent $400 million to Ukraine.

You didn’t provide a link to any news story or source for those random claims.

This is about the 7(a) loan program run by SBA. You don’t even appear to understand how the program works since you keep talking about it as though the SBA is directly providing the loans.
Show me a link to a verifiable source that says the SBA 7(a) loan program operates on a quota.

I'm a different poster. It is not our job to teach you how the world works. This idea that if something is not in the news it didn't happen is bunk. Learn how world works and how discussions and policies happen.

The news did not cover that 20 billion went missing in Minnesota through fraud, daycare, medical, food programs and otherwise. Does that mean it didn't happen? Well WTH is the money?

Learn how the world works.

Ah, the obvious tactics of a troll trying to weasel out of an argument they know they’re losing. Not gonna work. Let’s run through it again.

PP claims that preventing anyone with a green card from getting a 7(a) small business loan will create jobs for Americans. Except PP has offered no evidence that denying green card holders those loans will mean they go to an American instead. That’s not how it works. Denying the loan just means one less small business operates in America, which means one less business to employ American workers.

If you have proof that the SBA 7(a) program is only able to guarantee a specific number of loans each year and that it consistently hits that limit, please share it. Otherwise accept that you’re xenophobia is hurting Americans.

In Fiscal Year 2025, the SBA 7(a) program saw unprecedented demand, eventually exceeding its initial $35 billion authorization limit.

Utilization vs. Spending Authority (FY 2025)
Final Volume: The program closed the year with approximately $37 billion in 7(a) loan guarantees.

The "Ceiling" Issue: Historically, the program has a $35 billion annual limit. Because demand was so high—with Q2 2025 alone hitting over $10 billion in approvals—the agency was on track to hit its cap well before the September 30 deadline.

The 15% Buffer: To prevent a total program shutdown, the SBA Administrator has the statutory authority to increase funding authority by up to 15% if the cap is reached. This flexibility allowed the SBA to accommodate the extra $2 billion in volume without stopping lending.
Historical Comparison

For most of the last decade, the program has stayed safely below its limits, but recent years have shown a steady climb:
FY 2023: $27.5 billion utilized.
FY 2024: $29.1 billion utilized.
FY 2025: $37 billion utilized (surpassing the standard $35 billion cap).

Smart move to focus on US citizens

Funny. I don’t see a source for anything the AI typed for you in that post.

All of those declines also correlate with Republicans having control of Congress for a majority of the past 30 years. Curious.

What laws do you think Republicans passed that contributed to these problems? Immigration has been an enforcement problem, and both sides have been bad, but Democrats have lawlessly opened the border to let illegal aliens flood into the country. See, e.g., Biden's presidency.

Republicans haven't been good, but making random comments about Congress does not deflect from the key problems with immigration, especially welfare consumption.

What? PP claimed “Wages are down, prices are up, and welfare spending has increased.” They didn’t provide any evidence for how that’s connected to immigration. I pointed out that all those declines correlate just as much with Republicans being in charge of Congress as they do without whatever PP was trying to claim.

Meanwhile, you’re out here just repeating “random comments” about immigration enforcement without providing a single shred of evidence for how that’s connected to rising prices. Grow a brain. You’re clearly too inbred.
