There is no pettiness like the Republican pettiness.
Even the illegal trafficking in human beings isn’t enough.

[gilbertwoodward]

The Federal government should limit Federal funds to Texas and Florida, since they no longer need the funding.

[bernardcollins]

What the problem with, immigrants being dropped off in rich neighborhoods ?

[Estherbethe...]

No judge that was appointed by Trump should be hearing or handling ANYTHING about Trumps case!!!! WTF!!! This is a major conflict of interest 😠

[theFLCLguy]

It should be legal to sue politicians for not doing their job in maintaining the infrastructure.
All the money that should have gone to it went to their friends and families pockets.

[RechtmanDon]

What's the procedure for impeaching a judge?

[factsnotfeelings]

2:04 "...community members in Martha's Vineyard Welcome the asylum seekers..." from other countries. If only those same community members can also welcome the poor homeless AMERICANS already in the country seeking asylum from systemic racism, discrimination, and poverty.

[emiebex]

So then Governor Tate Reeves can drink the first glass from the tap...ya know since it's "Safe".🙄

[walterfristoe]

"Lengthy delays" are exactly what Trump and his minions want.

Thank *GOODNESS* for conscientious journalists like Amy Goodman who just report things as they are. No sugar coating, no slander, no agenda. Just the news as it should be. Take it or leave it.

*THANK YOU AMY* 🙏❤️🍻

Asylum seekers have every right to be here. It is legal for them to cross our border, to petition for asylum. When they seek refuge here, it’s because our country has destroyed the sovereignty of theirs, as well as their cultures and livelihoods. We owe them refuge, and more, as we, and other colonial powers have made life in their home countries too dangerous to survive.

[MF-tyzn]

Asylum seekers are legally here per laws made after WW2. They have to go to court to decide whether or not they will be able to be granted asylum or not.

[alpussycatthesubstantialch]

BTW seeing as how high ranking government officials are arrested in other countries, I really don't see a problem arresting the ones here doing illegal things against the state. Not to even mention things like Insider trading, where I come from we call that

[hulamei]

All those rich folks are welcome to help those poor immigrants.

[cassiusdhami]

"For revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy America reigns without a rival."
-Frederick Douglass

[alexgoslar]

You know that democratic principles are in trouble when politicians exploit immigrants for their political campaigns. And once again, the taxpayers pay for such shenanigans.

[Thinkcrown]

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” —Emma Lazarus

When the electoral college dies, so does the republican party.

[sofiasmith]

How i am as a US citizen can vote to say NO MORE approved bills (money arms) to UKRANE. Spend the money here in USA.

[yz]

Those who talk about human rights and democracy should then hold world peace as first priority. Why not?
Please hold sincerity and faithfulness your first principles.

[mwoods]

We should send immigrants to reach neighborhoods where people can help them with food, money and shelter. Poor people have nothing for themselves and cannot help. Martha's Vineyard, Beverly Hills, NYC, San Francisco, are absolutely best places for immigrants.
