    The GOP attitude toward Dreamers is just another side of their bigotry, hate, and short-thinking ignorance. We, as a society, want people to have access to health care for a multitude of reasons. But not the good ol’ GOP shitheads.

      Dreamers are illegal immigrants who were abused by their parents. This does not mean we shouldnt deport them.

          Deportion is not abuse, why on Earth would it be?

          I think we have fundementally different ideas of what abuse and deportation are

            Deportion is not abuse

            The recipients of DACA are young people who have grown up as Americans, identify themselves as Americans, and many speak only English and have no memory of or connection with the country where they were born.

            You would send someone to a country they have no memory of, no connection to, and cannot speak the language and not call it abuse? They’re not being sent home. They’re effectively being sent to a foreign country.

                It’s not an apt comparison.

                It is not sending a random person to a random country.

                It is sending a citizen of that country back to their country.

                One can agree or disagree with doing it, but it isn’t a random person being sent to a random country.

                If we want to get particular, it is the right thing to do under international law.

      Ah, Ye Olde sophist personal attack, the bastion of those with no argument to make.

      Welp, you’ve convinced me.

        It’s not a personal attack. It’s a statement of fact. Don’t like it? Don’t lie.
