ALL HAIL PRESIDENT TRUMP
"First off, they're talking about increasing their demand in terms of both result and immediacy when they're the minority party in both houses and the Presidency, immediately after suffering a humiliating defeat. Second, we're talking about people who are not citizens of this country advancing into government offices and the home of the Senate minority leader, staging protests within them, and making demands of the US government. I mean, if all of that isn't crazy, I think I'm going to pay President Nieto of Mexico a visit at his crib and demand that he do the right thing for poor Ms. Steinle (queue crybully tears) and have the Mexican government fully fund an extra-deluxe version of Trump's wall... not in three weeks, but now. I don't think I'll be shot or anything — Pieto would still be alive, right? When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Has nothing to do with the precipitating argument. We’re talking about identity politics (and how best to define the proponents thereof, i.e., progressives), not about social activism. Progressivism is the dictate of the modern left establishment. It prescribes outcomes based upon arbitrary membership to a group, not individual merit. You know who else did that? Same pig. To bring it back around, since you’ve established a tendency to talk around a topic rather than about it, my original statement was that we should not call these people liberal, because the things they advocate are antithetical to the concept.

" Craziness? I think those people are very sane for NOT wanting to return to hellhole countries. We are constantly told by liberals that ALL countries south of our border are crime-ridden, gang-controlled hellholes. If that is true, you would have to be insane to want to go back! Storming a gov't building makes perfect sense if you think the threat of being returned to a hellhole is imminent. Hell, if there was some statistical proof that 80% of the illegals would vote pro-life, I'd support amnesty. I mean besides the fact that 80% of illegals will vote democrat if given citizenship, there is no good reason to oppose amnesty. Last edited by Kamchatka on Jan 24, 2018, 6:37:04 AM

" So you're saying there is no reason to oppose amnesty. |

" There is a fantastic reason to oppose amnesty: 80% of illegals are expected to vote Democrat if given citizenship. Let's be honest, if that statistic was flipped, democrats would oppose amnesty and republicans would support amnesty. | |
" This. It sets a bad precedence to toy with human lives and establish a sub-citizen class for political gain. Or, rather, that precedence has already been set; it’s been going on for a while. It’s legalized human trafficking, something actual decent people should be opposed to. Devolving Wilds Land “T, Sacrifice Devolving Wilds: Search your library for a basic land card and reveal it.

Yeah, obviously the democrats are currently doing this unethical practice, but I'm not going to pretend republicans wouldn't, if it was an option.

"Promoting open-borders immigration is indeed worth at least a raise of the eyebrow due to the clear partisan incentive to promote such a policy. However, I think resisting immigration, particularly of the legal variety, deserves equal scrutiny for potential partisanship in the other direction. Let's say we picked a different partisan issue... how about abortion? In a way you might argue that abortion is a self-defeating issue for Democrats — legalized abortion prevents/ends the lives of hundreds of thousands of likely Democrat voters yearly, with black women demographically the most likely to get abortions. Would you be okay then with Republicans dropping the issue simply because it improves their future electoral outlook? It's a terrible way to look at issues. I'm not in favor of closed borders at all, even though that would arguably be the most partisan Republican position. I'm actually for amnesty, but as a matter of partisan reality I understand that the GOP can't afford to just give it away without getting a similar demographic concession (ex: repealing "anchor baby" birthright citizenship (which, yes, I'm against)).

Well if other issues are significantly more important to a person than immigration & amnesty, then support for amnesty depends on who they will vote for; seems like an obvious conclusion.

"By the same logic, if other issues are significantly more important to you than abortion, you should decide the abortion issue based on how black Americans tend to vote?
