Can we get this article flagged? If I wanted something like this I’d visit /news or /worldnews.
Immigration and the political climate in the US is very hot right now. It’s not the reason I read HN, if you want your rage fix read elsewhere.

What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
- _bxg1 7y agoSignificant geopolitical events have become a mainstay of HN, for better or worse. This one is a landmark example because it falls outside of the pattern people have (sadly) grown accustomed to. Edit: The second sentence was referring to the significance of the event (and why it would therefore be interesting to people on HN); I didn't mean to say the HN post itself was an outlier in some way.
- wil421 7y agoLooks like it was flagged. Thankfully others agreed with me instead of allowing it to become a mainstay like you suggested.
