First and foremost you should attempt to be funny or original. This is neither. It's political.

I would love headlines like:

> Illegal Immigrant Finally Caught After 20 Years of Successfully Contributing to Society

but instead you get non joke headlines like:

> ICE Agents Hurl Pregnant Immigrant Over Mexican Border To Prevent Birth On U.S. Soil

It's just cringe.

First and foremost you should endeavor to be a human, and The Onion does not owe you a thing. It's not a joke anymore, its a class ware and genocide that they are reporting on with headlines that make you cringe.

This is a repulsive, fallacious, and unproductive comment. Hackernews is not the place for emotional venting.
