Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Didn't his base want to get rid of all the Mexicans? 'Cause adding Mexico as a state will mean taking in, like, all the Mexicans...
Yes.
They're not gonna let the Mexicans live in Mexico any more than this assclown's best bud bibi is letting gazans live in Gaza. Any land grab will look the same. And wow, do they have no fucking idea what they'd be up against.
Trump could unite the cartels ..against America.
You think they’d get to stay in Mexico? Nah, they’d get the Native American treatment. They’d be ~~forcibly marched through hostile lands~~ “peacefully relocated”, and ~~forced to live in inhospitable and unworkable areas~~ “given a reservation of land to live on.”
Then when America wanted to expand again, America would ~~repeatedly and unapologetically encroach on the reservations~~ “renegotiate treaties” to claim more land. All the while, the government would be ~~attempting to eliminate their culture by kidnapping their kids for white Americans to raise~~ “generously re-homing needy children”
You are absolutely correct. But I would like to point out that many of the peoples of Mexico are Native Americans. As a tribal member myself I like to remind people that we didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.
No shit, there are a large amount of USAmericans who don't understand this. I have brought this up to people arguing about "Mex'cans in 'Merica". They honestly don't know this, and when they realize it's true they just double-down on their bullshit. It gets in their way of trying to justify their fear of brown people.
Don’t try bringing logic to a dingleberry convention!
Naw, we'll just deport them anyway, and take their beachfront property.
Trump can get some advice from Bibi
Remember what happened to all the Native Americans who were forced out of their lands back in 1492?
Remember why the Nazis took Poland yet?
But then they wouldn’t be Mexicans.
Something tells me his base would still want to kick them out of America.
Confound you and your insidious logic!
They want the land, then expel/eliminate the people.
Genocide is so hot right now
I’m sure he’s already thought of adding the new state renamed like “South America” or something. They’re all Americans now …… plus a new reason for invading Venezuela and any other country that infringes on the name of our 52nd state
