Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yuuuup. A lot of "illegal immigration"and often even the technically legal stuff is honestly closer to "human trafficking." They want people they can pay less and who will be too scared of ICE to speak up about labor violations and shady / dangerous business practices. A looot of nursing homes are staying in business while understaffing to the point of extreme neglect by hiring immigrant nurses then telling them they'll get deported or owe them $10k+ for breaking their contract or otherwise losing them as an employer. This is how you wind up hearing stories about a nursing home that had one nursing assistant responsible for 32+ patients, half or more total care who in addition to needing to be fed and cleaned also need to be turned side to side every two hours to not literally wear holes in the skin over their bones. In my clinical placement I saw a pressure injury from a nursing home so big the wound care nurse could fit her fist in and when she debrided the dead tissue you could see the sacrum underneath. The nurses at these places are too scared to speak up because even if what the employer is telling them is illegal they don't know for sure or it would take resources they don't have to fight it. And by the time the patient gets any help you've got those massive pressure ulcers. I'm very pro DNR just let me go ffs.
