IIRC America wasn't even in the driver's seat for the Iran coup. That was the British because of their corporate oil interests and the US went along with it because the Dulles brothers were shits and nobody else really knew what the gently caress was going on in Iran or cared except that by God someone told us there were Commies to fight (there weren't).

Are there any national level politicians that are outright 100% for immigration? As in someone that believes our country is enriched and vitalized by immigrants. I’ve not heard of any, but when I go to search for politicians and immigration all you get is either Anti Immigration, or We Also Want Strong Borders but no Wall gently caress trump. I haven’t heard of any national level politician asking for the tired huddled and poor. And that’s a shame because we are made better as a whole by migrants. Hopefully I’ve just been doing a lovely job looking and one of you more politically savvy types can point me in the right direction.

Milo and POTUS posted:Like all presidents he had his faults but for the most part I like Ike and he's probably the last republican president I'll admit to respecting. Probably because he was the last pre-Southern Strategy Republican president. Every one after him was riding the racism wave. Here's another fun presidential fact: it's been nearly 30 years since a non-incumbent Republican president has won the popular vote.

Here's the intro to the 2016 Democratic party plank on immigration: quote:The United States was founded as, and continues to be, a country of immigrants from throughout the world. It is no coincidence that the Statue of Liberty is one of our most profound national symbols. And that is why Democrats believe immigration is not just a problem to be solved, it is a defining aspect of the American character and our shared history. Andrew Napolitano doesn't quite count as a national politician, but he's an interesting curve ball (There's lots of other things to dislike him over) and an unabashed advocate for unrestricted immigration.

Fun fact about Ross Perot's reform party, he got 18% of the vote in the 92 election, largely from dissatisfied republicans. In 2000, the Republican party, realizing that they would never see the white house again if the reform party continued to split the vote, had none other than Donald J Trump talk about running for president for the reform party against Pat Buchanan. Back then, people thought Trump was a joke, which made the reform party look like a joke, and the reform party never again broke low single digits.

RFC2324 posted:didn't the cakeshops right to refuse service to the gay couple just get upheld by the SCOTUS? They gave them a get out of jail free card, they didn't cancel anti-discrimination law as unconstitutional. They made up a claim of the north Carolina anti-discrimination board being hostile to religion or something and said that because of that they're dismissing the claim.
