Coming on a visa is a legal means of coming to this country, whether it's a student or work visa.

Trump supporters are not against people coming in this country legally.

We accept about 1 million people to live and work in the United States as our guests every single year.

The point of the immigration debate prior to Biden-Harris open borders issues is that we are undercutting American workers when we ship our jobs over seas and keep increasing the numbers of H1b Visas we are issuing.

We have been lowering wages for the average American workers by flooding a limited market with labor, then companies stop hiring American workers at all because they won't work as cheap because they don't live 20-25 to an apartment.

The Democrats didn't do this when the American workers were their voter base, because it's not something any American worker wants for their future and their children's future.

Now that Biden and Harris flooded our country with every terrorist in the world we have an absolute nightmare with illegal immigration to clean up, but once we do the American workers (of every race) will be going back to complaining about too many H1B Visas being issued because it hurts the average worker in America.

This is what your trying to call racism, the fact that Americans want to be able to get jobs in their own country so they can support their families.

We were "punished" by the left for refusing to bow down to corporate slavery, when they opened our borders and flooded our nation with terrorists. How dare the American worker think this is a country for them and their families right?

Well, we won. And so we will have jobs and decent pay so we can live, in our own country. The Democrats would still care about that sort of thing if Americans were their voter base.
Since statistics show Hispanics commit less crimes per capita than the general population, I don't understand all this talk about
the country being flooded with rapists and murderers and terrorists. I am sure that a tiny number may be criminals, but the stats don't back up the "flooding" myth. Where did that myth come from? Trump's speeches.
Pay attention instead to what Musk, an immigrant, is doing. He is more dangerous to Americans than all the criminal immigrants you can apprehend.

It's no myth that Biden had no border security at the border.

They had 12 million foreigners come through our borders these last 4 years and let them in without vetting. That's how they were "accidentally" releasing people into the country on parole who were on the terrorist watch list and known to be in foreign prison gangs.

That 12 million is more people than came through Ellis Island during it's hayday for immigration, and when you count the millions who didn't get caught by border security and get paperwork on them, it's just beyond shocking.

What they did to the American people is both treasonous and unconscionable.. just absolutely horrific. It hurts every single person, both the illegals flooding our country and our own citizens.

And yes, there are now millions in slavery in our country .. thanks to the Democrats. They owe the Cartels and have to work for the Cartels until the debt is paid off, which never gets paid off. Many have been sold into prostitution rings and pedophile rings, child labor and more. . this is among the most horrific things to happen in American History.

And it's not even culturally acceptable. But some of these people are so lawless they just don't care.

How about throughout the history of football? All kinds of stuff that's not normal has sprung up and or gone into overdrive the last four years. People are sick of it. That's why they voted for Trump. To go back to normal.

Define normal.

The OP post sounds petty, resentful, and childish. But I will say one thing, Trump did lie to the American people. He lied when he said that we would get tired of winning. So far, that has yet to happen. The NFL can do what they want. But they must suffer the consequences of their decisions. Ask Bud Light. Ask the NFL how many people stopped watching sports when Kappernic was taking knees during the National anthem? Yet the OP wants to continue the attention starved pettiness by holding political signs at a time when we are to show respect for the nation.

The country had a mandate in 2024. It said it is tired of the woke BLM LGBT nonsense getting crammed down our throats. The mandate said we are no longer afraid of being canceled by leftists. The mandate said liberals go no further and we are taking back ground.

I hope that if liberal leftist activist who holds a "end racism" sign and starts shouting to disrespect the nation is met with tens of thousands of people singing the national anthem at the top of their lungs to drown out the childish and petty sore loosers that cannot come to grip with the reality that their country has rejected their ideology and agenda.

President Trump's 2024 victory marked a remarkable comeback in American politics.

While the win was impressive, it should not be seen as a mandate or a full rejection of liberal ideas. The victory margin was among the smallest in recent elections, indicating a deeply divided nation with no overwhelming support for President Trump or one political ideology.

So, I looked up the statute in question.

I don't see anything in it saying to teach that black people benefitted from slavery. Can you show me where? (it's always possible I missed something)

The section:
Instructional materials shall include the vital contributions of African Americans to build and strengthen American society and celebrate the inspirational stories of African Americans who prospered, even in the most difficult circumstances could be interpreted as “African Americans forced to overcome, thrived more than if they had had it easy.”

It was not the statute, but rather the state educational standards developed and adopted to meet it.

New Florida standards teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught useful skills

The standards, which were blasted by a statewide teachers' union as a "step backward," were approved Wednesday by the State Board of Education.

Updates to the African American history curriculum were required by a controversial 2022 law that Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed the “Stop Wrongs To Our Kids and Employees Act,” or “Stop WOKE Act,” NBC South Florida reported.

That's because there is nothing in it that says that.

Apparently, some people want to interpret the statute as uncharitably as humanly possible.

I would like to understand which aspect of the phrase "end racism" is considered offensive or disrespectful.

It's too "woke" apparently.

What principles? Why not end hunger? Or end homelessness? Or end poverty? Or end drug addiction? Where are all the other signs for what needs to end? Those issues don't matter? You gave a like the video I posted, so you must agree that the way to End Racism is to stop talking about it. Stop promoting it. Because that just ends up perpetuating it. But that's really the whole idea. To keep it going. So that people the left doesn't like can be called racist.

This is just going to backfire on the left.

Individuals are welcome to bring signs with messages such as "End Hunger," "End Poverty," or "End Drug addiction." That is the beauty of freedom; you can support any principle you believe in.

You don't end any of these things by painting them in the end zone of a football field. It's nothing more than virtue signaling that makes people feel better without actually having to do anything to help resolve those issues.

That's my problem with it. Some people think if you paint "End Hunger" in the end zone, all is well. But few people are willing to actually do what it takes to end hunger. Likewise with racism.

I'm not a fan of virtue signaling. If you want to end racism, do something to help end racism. Don't just paint it on the field and pretend like you've made a difference.

I like obvious virtue signalling from giant corporations. It highlights, not conceals, what they are really about.

You miss the point, nobody benefits from stoking the flames and dividing the country more than the Democratic Party.
Well there are the people who have been victims of racism.

They benefit.

You raise an excellent point. Actions speak louder than words.

However, promoting initiatives to end racism or hunger creates awareness. On the other hand, opposing such initiatives does not contribute to these causes.

Individuals who bring sign at the end zone are promoting their views, but what are their critics contributing?

Well, the NFL replaced the text "End Racism" in the end zone with "Choose Love". Not sure what you think that highlights.
