RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I know you've heard it all before, and not to sound like a conservative, but illegals should really go back to where they came from. There's a way to immigrate legally and there's a way to do so illegally and break the law. If you don't fill out all the paperwork, you're an illegal.

"But no one's illegal on stolen land!" Well, maybe it was stolen all these years ago, but there's rules now, and illegals are, well, illegal.

That being said, they shouldn't be treated like animals, but they should be deported and wait their turn like the people who came before them.

Am I really a conservative for this?

There should be no borders to begin with. Immigrants, regardless of status, should be treated equally and fairly as any American should, as ANYONE should. As someone who is considered Far Left in the United States, you may hate my opinion, but deportations are immoral, plain and simple.

what if people disagree with you about the borders? Would you tell the people on the sentinel islands that they should just let everyone enter? Should everyone be forced to comply with your American hard left ideals? Because that's the logical conclusion of saying "there SHOULD be no borders".
