The false notion that undocumented immigrants affect federal elections has a long history. But this year, due in part to rising migration at the U.S. southern border, the idea could have new potency.

    As opposed to foreign autocrats like Putin buying votes, which is perfectly fine… Perfectly fine.

      Everyone always talks about govt/buisnesses taking bribes from the rich, but never about the rich taking bribes from foreign companies/govts.

      Pretty interesting alternative “political system” we’ve installed with our current economic system. Surely not a backdoor to ruin any current govt systems or hold them hostage

      Foreign autocrats don’t need to buy the votes, they buy the politicians directly.
