Minnesota state representative admits she is in the US illegally during legislative debate

I heard Melania Trump worked illegally in the US when she first arrived. Is that as bad?
Nice avatar, by the way. Was that for Gay Pride Month?

Its an attempt to assure you that they arent the animals and criminals, as you all characterize them.

I have never characterized them as such. It's largely leftists on this site who do so, deriding them as "brown people", while wearing a cheap mask as they pretend they're someone else. You should really hear yourselves talk.

I have news for you. The world is full of normal people. Really good people. It doesn't matter where they come from and it certainly doesn't matter what skin color they happen to have. We can't take them all in.

So they should be ignored if they haven't harmed someone?
 
Who cares? She's contributed more to this country than you ever will.

Minnesota is a fantastic state, and Walz's administration made it better.

You stay in whatever right wing shithole you live in, we don't want you here.

No.

You have worse education, more crime, worse health, worse opportunity, worse mental health, worse infrastructure, take more Federal dollars...

No one but those that don't have a choice live in Alabama. Or if they got an offer they can't refuse.

The same for Manitoba in Canada. People stay for family, but those that can leave do leave

Not true at all
 
Elon Musk worked in the US illegally before becoming a citizen. It happens.

Which is best measured by income
Click to expand...

Not necessarily. It's measured partly by income, partly by inflation, and partly other things as well, such as education, access to healthcare, levels of violent crime, income and wealth equality, and other factors. There are some red states, particularly in the plains and I believe Utah, that are more competitive, but the best standards of living have consistently been in Northeastern US states and the worst in Southern states and Appalachia. A state like MN is in the upper half, and a state like AL is a bottom-dweller, owing to its legacy of segregation and continued unwillingness to repair past injustices. Minnesota has those issues as well, but not as acutely as states in the Deep South.

There is a value to society for allowing humanitarian flexibility to the rule of law.

Think of the 1000s of times a day judges reduce punishment for those caught speeding. How they consider a defendants background before sentencing.

So does she get arrested? Is she going to face federal charges. Has she broken election laws?

Quick check of the requirements for Minnesota state representatives. Must be a qualified voter. Must be a resident (which likely means legal residency). So, no, she isn't eligible. And she's likely violated election laws and filed false disclosures and campaign disclosures.

Which to say the least is really important for your standard of living lol

I pointed out their act of repression. You say it doesn't matter.

But we have seen the degradation of women who need abortions but the state won't pet them gave them.

It's grotesque and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Alabama, of course, has quite a history of repressing people. So maybe it's citizens don't mind.
