    They accuse Dems of bussing in voters, God forbid we give anyone a ride to where they need to be? Here they are actually flying in and importing Republican voters from foreign countries and we’re supposed to be just fine with it because the Republican party is the respectable party of patriots lmao. I hate these fucking assholes.

      I’m more interested in how many of these people are winding up working for ICE.

      How long does it take to go through the refugee process to become a citizen? They can’t vote until then, right?

        Good questions, I would suspect these folks are getting expedited service for their “donations”.

          I mean now we’re just in fantasy land. No one has offered the option to buy citizenship like that. Trump offered to let people buy green cards or whatever fancy name he gave them (still a green card).

          After that it takes at minimum 5 years. No indication that is being sped up in any way for anyone. It’s not even possible to speed it up under current law, not that the administration wouldn’t try. But in this case they’ve given no indication of doing so.

            The green card thing was really just a pathetic attempt to collect revenue since taxes have been slashed to untenable levels. Wealthy people wouldn’t even want citizenship. They vote with money, not with ballots.

            Not that these Boers are really rich or anything and there’s not enough of them to effect voting even if they could. This is virtue signalling to white supremacists. In fact I’d bet a lot of them will leave soon or end up homeless. They’re being brought in without any plans or preparation and no job opportunities waiting for them. Their usefulness to the Trump admin is merely as a photo prop and then they’re on their own.

            But oh well sucks to suck. Hope you all end up homeless back in South Africa too because a black family moved into your house while you were gone.

            Yeah buddy, you said it, we’re in fantasy land lol. Seems like we have been since this dipshit got elected yet again. Some day we’ll come back to reality.

              I just don’t understand the need to fantasize about things that have not happened and that have no indication they will happen when we already have a mountain of very real problems occurring

                I’m just going by the MOA of this administration so far, which has been for profit on everything, so you have to admit it’s not like it’s out of left field. It’s almost certain those people paid money. Do I have proof? No. But it stinks so it should be thoroughly investigated which it won’t anytime soon.
