I've said it before.....the theme of the forum when it comes to US politics is: what are these politiicans' plans for the working class?

Curious where you are going with this, but I would think "make sure my rights are protected" (to quote TLD above) covers every one of your "issues".

I guess I should have affixed the sarcasm tag. I thought it was obvious that I was remarking on the propensity to divide and conquer the people based on various causes (causi?) celebre.

I always remember this sorry bit of history from our past. Those draft riots in 1863 were started from all of those dock workers in NYC who were afraid that all those free blacks were going to step in and take their jobs when they marched off to war. It took federal troops to eventually beat down the protests. All it takes for a catalyst is the fear that "they" are coming for your jobs.

The historical irony is that the only group who could possibly have a credible reason for such - the people who inhabited North America before the white man arrived - actually realized the above in addition to losing all of their land and most of their culture. :oops:

“You talk about the border wall, you talk about open borders,” Raddatz said to Abbott, “but I don’t think I've ever heard President Biden say, ‘we have an open border, come on over.’ But people I have heard say it are you, are former President Trump, Ron DeSantis; that message reverberates in Mexico and beyond. So they do get the message that it is an ‘open border,’ and smugglers use all those kinds of statements.”

They also practiced slavery of different tribes, so they were not all “noble savages” as portrayed by some. Humans have been conquering and enslaving other humans since the beginning of recorded history. It still goes on today, including through our southwest border. Is the US government complicit? At the very least they are tolerant.

IMHO it isn't a matter of noble(although you are correct about their practices and customs). The fact does remain that they were here first and were moved out of the way by people who came from elsewhere to their detriment. Those same people decried "others" for threatening to THEIR culture.

You are quite correct about slavery and other bad behaviors. None of that makes it right or the correct thing to do.

It may have taken native Americans awhile to figure out pay back on the pale faces. Native American casinos have found one way to get wampum out of starry eyed white folks addicted to slot machines. Hell they will even let the pale faces smoke while playing the machines. Then you give them free fire water to get them drunk enough to keep on playing. Karma is a b***h.

3. It seems...we aren't full

Data: U.S. Census Bureau; Chart: Axios Visuals
Go ahead, keep saying "we full." People will just keep coming.

What's happening: The U.S. Census Bureau says Georgia had the fourth-largest growth in population from July 2021 to July 2022.

The state added nearly 125,000 people, according to the agency, helping to make the South the most populous region in the country.

The Biden administration on Thursday unveiled a new program to allow private citizen groups to sponsor refugees from around the world. Under the program, groups of at least five individuals can apply to sponsor refugees to live in the US and help them acclimate to life in the country with the help of a consortium of non-profit resettlement organizations. The program, called the Welcome Corps, was billed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken as "the boldest innovation in refugee resettlement in four decades." The sponsor groups must raise a minimum of $2,275 per refugee, and those funds will provide initial support for expenses like apartment security deposits, clothing and furniture. All refugees being supported through the program will be cleared through the same extensive security vetting required for all refugees admitted to the US, a senior State Department official said.
