jerryskids 6,567 Posted December 15, 2023 On 12/13/2023 at 6:30 PM, The Real timschochet said: It is not available. Between 1880 and 1924 we had open immigration- albeit only from certain countries. Still if you were from those countries and you weren’t sick you could come here and be processed. There was no line or waiting list. Thats what I want, except that I want every country on Earth to have an equal opportunity. Despite what @Strike and others keep asserting, it’s what I’ve always wanted- my entire life. But I’m also very sympathetic to those who come here illegally. These are mostly good, mostly hard working people looking for a better life. We can’t take them all in as quickly as they come so I’m not opposed, now, to measures to stop them. When it was smaller numbers I didn’t care so much. But even now I feel terrible about it. I don’t see these folks as villains at all and it pisses me off that so many people, mostly on the right, do. So you want to go back to a policy of 100 - 140 years ago, when the west was being settled and we needed people to do that, and we limited it to certain countries, and bring that policy forward to a time where we have long since finished expanding, and also add in a bunch of cultures who have no desire to assimilate into our society. What could possibly go wrong? I usually try to be careful about separating liberals from leftists, and I'll do that again, but this time to criticize liberals. This is a classic liberal fallacy, the inability to see unintended consequences. I also don't see them as villains. Their home countries generally suck, and we're willing to take them in, give them free stuff, and put their kids through our schools. Hell, I'd try to do the same. But that doesn't mean we should allow it, or allow them to stay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, my question to you is, are you racist and xenophobic or did the left wing media and prominent Democrat politicians lie about Trump? Neither. My words are not in any way similar to Trump.

You carefully avoided the main issue. Let me be more specific: There are currently millions of people in this country without legal documents. Many of them have been here for years or decades. Former President Trump proposes to use the military to find them, round them all up, put them in camps and then deport them. Perhaps up to 15-20 million people. Men, women, children. Some who have served in our military. Others college graduates. The plan will cost billions and alienate the entire world, Are you good with this plan?
