News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

There shouldn't be a path to legality - that just incentivizes more illegal immigration, because they know they'll get residency eventually.
To be clear, I think what's going on in El Salvador is abhorrent, and that at this point ICE is basically the Gestapo, but that doesn't mean that countries shouldn't have the right to decide who is and who isn't allowed across their borders.
If I illegally crossed the border into Canada because I don't like what Trump is doing, for example, they have every right to kick me out.
I'm a legal immigrant (to the USA), there absolutely should be a legal path to emigrate to any and all countries.
The only difference between me and her is that I could afford not to work for the 7 months between landing in the country and my green card arriving in the mail, as well as the roughly $10k in fees, and I don't have kids so being apart from my (then fiancee, now) wife for 14 months while the paperwork went through was also not such a big burden.
Having the privilege to endure those hardships does not constitute the entirety of being a good citizen.
I fully agree with a legal path to emigrate to any and all countries, but only if done ahead of time and through the proper legal channels. (And it goes without saying that once those channels have been gone through, resident status should not be revoked without serious reason to do so, followed by due process.)
Breaking a country's laws by entering illegally is already serious evidence against your being a good citizen; plus, regardless of how good a citizen you are, countries have a right to decide which non-citizens are or are not allowed to enter their countries in the first place, based on any and all conditions they alone deem relevant.
If you break in to my house and then ask me for a job, even if you'd be the best worker in the world, I'm still gonna respond with, "Get the hell out of my house", and I'd be right to do so.
It's a misdemeanor though in line with being drunk at Kroger or crossing through someone's garden without permission.
Regardless of the severity of the offense, sovereign nations ultimately have the right to decide who is or is not allowed into their countries.
If someone finds you trespassing in their garden, they make you leave. If you're drunk in Kroger, once again, they make you leave. This is perfectly in keeping with the nature of the crime - if you're in a place where you're not allowed to be, including nations, you have to leave.
