I don't want my tax dollars going to house illegal immigrants in America.

Your tax dollars will house them anyways. If you don't like that, your only option is to leave.

Their reputation is so poor that every comment they write goes straight to an OPML file in my RSS feed.

I'll consider removing them once OP stops ignoring HN guidelines.

We need you to stop using HN primarily for political battle. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

This problem goes back quite a while, so please stop.

Fair point. I have been trying to reduce political comments since you pointed this out. My request is that if HN wants to avoid political comments, HN should update its policy to not allow political posts. Otherwise the temptation is sometimes too great.

That won't work for a ton of different reasons that we learned the hard way. One is that there's no agreement about what counts as "politics". Another is that if you try to exclude politics, the effect is to motivate political commenters into posting even more—understandably so, from their perspective.

Probably the most important reason is that there's a fair body of content that is on topic for HN but also has political overlap: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

So HN will always have a certain amount of politics and all we can do is ask people to keep it to a relatively low percentage of what they do on HN, to respect the site guidelines while they do it, and to remember the intended use of the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You can't target a specific user like that here, no matter how wrong they are or you feel they are. Please stop.
