Sorry, I'm pro-choice and left leaning but I think this is a little far fetched.
Sure ok there are folks who want unwanted children but they're an infinitesimal minority. I don't think highly of GOP voters but they're not quite that diabolical.
I'm not talking about the voters. I'm talking about the politicians and people behind the scenes at the top who help to make these policies.
That doesn't make any sense. Politicians want the babies even though voters don't?
Pretty sure republicans got in trouble in poland recently for trying to adopt large groups of white kids.
Republicans represent rich rural fiefdoms and immigrant labor is a major part of that that can't be overlooked.
Why do you think they've rolled back child labor laws recently? This is their last ditch political response to immigrant labor.
unfortunately the ensuing chaos that happens about 10-20 years down the line after these boom events is what eventually sobers them up as the bodies pile up and the children are killed by industries, the state, crime or chaos.
Sorry mate, this honestly sounds like a bit of a crazy rant. Can you link me something about the push kids?
which part?
Sorry, I meant the polish kids
Apparently its a little crazier than I remember, Matt Shea was a washington state politician, the orphans are ukranian:

Sure ok. Clearly that's the work of a lone nutter rather than "republicans".
Sure but I don't think he's an atypical "lone nutter" in eastern washington. He believes a lot of things regular republicans believe and is just acting on them more than most.
