Another example of the lefty media stirring up conflict:

There's another War Between the States coming over abortion

" Once again, something legal in one state is illegal in a state next door. "

There are probably hundreds of things that have been legal in one state and illegal across its border since the civil war, but they want you to think this is the first one and it's time to go to war again over it.

In order to cut taxes you have to dip into entitlements. SS, Medicare etc. it’s not possible otherwise. So how do we pay for those poor folks free health care?

Federal income tax accounts for roughly 55% of gov revenue. Another 35%+ is from payroll tax

We end those programs. The feds write a check to everyone who has paid into those programs for the exact amount they've paid in. The end. Let the churches, friends, families, communities, and charities help those in need.

The image that dominates that page in your link is below, the young female with "My Body, My Choice" drawn on her cheeks.
I find it puzzling and sad that she is also wearing a cross around her neck....

Why? The bible isn't exactly pro-life. Here's a nice summary from FFRF.org

Ten biblical episodes and prophecies provide an unequivocal expression of God's attitude toward human life, especially the ontological status of "unborn children" and their pregnant mothers-to-be. Brief summaries:

• A pregnant woman who is injured and aborts the fetus warrants financial compensation only (to her husband), suggesting that the fetus is property, not a person (Exodus 21:22-25).

• The gruesome priestly purity test to which a wife accused of adultery must submit will cause her to abort the fetus if she is guilty, indicating that the fetus does not possess a right to life (Numbers 5:11-31).

• God enumerated his punishments for disobedience, including "cursed shall be the fruit of your womb" and "you will eat the fruit of your womb," directly contradicting sanctity-of-life claims (Deuteronomy 28:18,53).

• Elisha's prophecy for soon-to-be King Hazael said he would attack the Israelites, burn their cities, crush the heads of their babies and rip open their pregnant women (2 Kings 8:12).

• King Menahem of Israel destroyed Tiphsah (also called Tappuah) and the surrounding towns, killing all residents and ripping open pregnant women with the sword (2 Kings 15:16).

• Isaiah prophesied doom for Babylon, including the murder of unborn children: "They will have no pity on the fruit of the womb" (Isaiah 13:18).

• For worshiping idols, God declared that not one of his people would live, not a man, woman or child (not even babies in arms), again confuting assertions about the sanctity of life (Jeremiah 44:7-8).

• God will punish the Israelites by destroying their unborn children, who will die at birth, or perish in the womb, or never even be conceived (Hosea 9:10-16).

• For rebelling against God, Samaria's people will be killed, their babies will be dashed to death against the ground, and their pregnant women will be ripped open with a sword (Hosea 13:16).

• Jesus did not express any special concern for unborn children during the anticipated end times: "Woe to pregnant women and those who are nursing" (Matthew 24:19).

There's the "they terk er jerbs!" excuse. Sounds like your problem is with the outrageous taxes the government forces you to pay, not the person who doesn't pay those same taxes.

So if they pay taxes, you're fine with them getting the same benefits you get? Your only problem is the tax issue? Spoiler alert, they'll still work cheaper than you because they're sending most of that money back to mexico to support family. Cost of living is cheaper there, so they're happy taking $10/hr for a job you charge $30/hr for.
Excuse? This above shows your ignorance.
No, not okay with open borders. Not at all, for multiple reasons, not just jobs. I'm good with America allowing the most(of any other country) legal immigrants into the country as it has since it's inception. But not illegal immigration and the current open border policy. Nada.

So they are making $10hr and sending it all back home? Lol.

You obviously still live with mommy. And have not, nor probably ever will own your own business. $30hr ROFL

Poll shows Democrats losing strength with Asian Americans in key Senate battlegrounds

A new poll shows Democrats losing support among Asian American and Pacific Islander voters in several Senate battleground states compared to 2020, when Joe Biden won more than 61 percent of the fast-growing electoral bloc.

The poll commissioned by Civiqs for Justice Unites Us shows that Democrats may need to invest more resources to mobilize Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters who traditionally favor their party but are now concerned about the direction of the economy.

The poll conducted from June 10 to June 14 show that AAPI voters favor Democrats 55 percent to 34 percent on the generic ballot but less so in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

In those four states, Democrats lead Republicans on the generic ballot 53 percent to 43 percent.

Mexico President Lopez Obrador: US.-Mexico border ‘out of control’

Mexico’s president slammed the Biden administration’s border policies after at least 50 migrants were found dead in texas in an alleged human trafficking incident. On Tuesday, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the US-Mexico border is “out of control.”

He further lamented 22 of the deceased were Mexican nationals while seven were reportedly from Guatemala and two from Honduras. Lopez Obrador claimed the surge of migrants going into the US is a result of poor economic policies affecting Central and South America as well as the entrepreneurship of human smugglers.

Look, every objection you have against immigrants coming to the US to live or work is based on some government law/concern. You're worried about them getting tax dollars, you're worried about them voting, you're worried about ____. But none of the arguments are against the people who just want to come work. So rather than rallying against the people, go against the massive government that breaks everything it gets involved with.
You seem to have a hard-on for just letting anyone in that wants to come in.
Why?
To "Help" them?
Just being benevolent?
How many can we let in?
Is there a limit?
If we have a limit, and the limit is reached, is the limit racist to the next one crossing the border?
Are limits racist? Are fences racist?
Are borders racist?
Is it Wrong for a country to enforce immigration laws and maintain a secure border?

You're doing a lot of bitching, but I don't see you saying anything about the flood of humanity crossing every month illegally.

Watch this:

Nothing New about any of this, even within states, remember Dry Counties?
Think of the states that legalized marijuana...that was fun for certain traveling athletes who got caught with possession. CBD too...:)

Yes but now we are bound by GRACE not the LAW!

Try 1 Cor. 15 1-4

Not yes, those are incorrect interpretations. And they are cherry picked single verses to not be of full context. From Freedom From Religion .com

There were many children in that group of 50. Many of those children they think were "rented" as to facilitate a more streamlined catch and release.

The open border policy affects Mexico also, in that the cartels rule the border towns, and because of the cash flow corrupt the Polica.
