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.

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!

Nice joke, but we all know he's actually implying colonization
And Republicans screamed about Obama with open borders or something??????
Ya know what we need? Like a citizenship exchange program. It's so goddamn hard to get passports and work permits and move out internationally.
What if, we could just tradsies with someone else from another country? Like, they wanna move to America.... I wanna gtfo, so they take my place and I take theirs? Everyone's happy.
It’s so goddamn hard to get passports and work permits and move out internationally.
Is it? Have you tried figuring out what is necessary for it?
no, obviously I've done literally nothing and not tried to get all my documents and paperwork in order for myself and family, with stepchildren.... and then after having not done any "figuring it out" I just came to the conclusion that it was a kafkaesque deluge of bureaucracy....... obviously I made my prior statement after only imagining the experience.....
I see. Well, I worked as an academic in Europe for many years and so have spoken to non-EU colleagues (many of them with families) about their experiences. There is bureaucracy to be sure, but as long as you have a valid reason to move (study or work, usually), it's not too bad. We've had people moving over within a few months of being offered a position, and these were usually people from Asia, for whom it can be more difficult than US citizens.
I guess the person I knew who got citizenship in Denmark was lying when they claimed it was difficult /s
Citizenship? That's a whole different ballgame. Residency is not hard (if you can work/study), citizenship depends on the country and can be quite difficult to get. Though having said that, it's generally easier than in the US, and in some EU countries it is almost automatic after 5 years of residency. (No citizenship at birth though.)
Most EU countries do not have green card quota or any kind of similar system. The main obstacle, for those for whom studying isn't an option and family reunification doesn't apply, is finding an employer willing to hire you over a local. Studying is definitely the easiest way, and can in fact be a lot cheaper than dealing with US tuition fees for institutes of similar quality.
I don't get this asshole. I really don't.
I'm surprised, surely he thinks the country is full of cartel members or something? He captured Maduro because of alleged drug trafficking stuff.
So yeah... His actions seem mentally deficit to put it nicely.
Big brain mode by Trump? Don't need strong borders when you make everyone American.
More ~~leopard food~~ taxpayers.
Irrelevant. He's hoping Venezuelans are desperate and stupid enough to somehow apprive this. A democratic process would legitimise this internationally.
ICE clearly doesn't care about passports, they go by ~~skin colour~~ accents. Only super rich Venezuelans that are willing to participate in the exploitation of their ~~fellow~~ former citizens might make it to the continental US.
Trump just wants the oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_proven_oil_reserves
Oh, so he thinks if he gives them all citizenship, then they'll keep him in power...that's how he wants to stack the deck. Ugh...
