    “Illegal” is not a fucking noun and I will die on that hill.

      I will admit I use the term out of laziness but you are correct. It shouldn’t be used to disparage people.

      I actually don’t fault the illegal aliens. I fault the government for not cracking down on the employers and border.

        Thank you. The illegal immigrants are doing what they believe is best for them and their families. Anybody would.

        If we actually want to tackle illegal immigration, we need to throw a lot of money and a lot of employees at the problem to fast track asylum claims and deportations. Our economy also absolutely depends on the inexpensive labor that they provide, so there should be a straightforward path to temporary work visas for, for example, migrant agricultural workers.

        They’re going to be here either way. Let them pay taxes, earn some money, and go home. If they want to become citizens, there’s a process for that for longer-term immigrants.

        Having said all that, obviously I’m not conservative because I don’t think we should just be putting up razor wire and deporting everybody. But there is a mutually beneficial relationship between migrants looking for work in the US and employers looking for labor. As it is now, the employers just take advantage of the migrants and the migrants are the ones who get demonized, while it’s the employers who are the ones encouraging illegal immigration and depriving the US of tax dollars.

          Our economy also absolutely depends on the inexpensive labor that they provide, It shouldn’t. People should be paid a fair wage. Jobs should provide a living wage.

          so there should be a straightforward path to temporary work visas for, for example, migrant agricultural workers.

          There is but nobody wants to use it. That is why we need to punish the employers. Trump actually uses the Visa properly.

    At this point, Republicans have only themselves to blame. They had a chance to get everything they wanted in terms of border security but turned it down because their beholden to Trump’s oversized knickers. They can lay in the bedbug ridden bed they made with their first day dictator.

          No, it’s true because he was literally caught on video saying it. MSNBC is not the only news source reporting it.

                  That would require moderation to have a backbone. Momo has been hostile and an asshole for months and nothing’s ever been done about them. The mods don’t know how to do their jobs and just give endless, toothless warnings.

            Liberal logic in play. That is why all these court cases are concerning. They are just attempts to get him to drop out.

            I do not think Trump is viable in the next election. I would rather see someone else run, but Trump will get my vote. There is no way I am voting for Joe Biden.

      Just FYI, you interpreted the headline wrong. I did, too…but then they have this gem:

      That is larger than the population of 36 US states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

      They’re not combined, otherwise the impact of the argument wouldn’t have the emotional force it does by listing 36 states individually lol.

                7.2 mil hardly accounts for like 9 of the lowest populated states.

                9 of the lowest populated states means the 7.6m of those states. That is very clearly the meaning going on here as that’s what adds up.

                The fact that you are so smooth brained to interpret it as anything else makes me amazed that you’re even capable of using a computer or phone.
