No, but I will go on record saying that if the only two options you can conceive are: 1) making illegal immigration your top issue; and 2) being in complete support of illegal immigration, then you are a moron just like the OP.

Illegal immigration should not even have to be an issue, because it's ILLEGAL. It's an issue because of sanctuary cities and others that are paying for illegal aliens to break the law.

The sanctuary city bs worked so well for Gillespie. Keep it up.

np. Explain to me who undocumented are under the jurisdiction of when they live in a Sanctuary City, County or State? I am a deplorable and my brain don't work right.

(Just kidding. I'm the OP, and the one the moderator just accused of being a racist, moron, or deplorable.)

You said the most important issue to you is illegal immigration. If that is more important to you then healthcare, the economy, war and peace, etc., you are obviously a racist, moron, and deplorable. It is pretty clear that being against "illegal immigration" is simply a respectable way of announcing that you are a white supremacist. One scratch below the surface will reveal that you are actually against nearly all immigration, legal or otherwise, involving non-white people. Oh sure, you will cloud that behind arguments that you want immigrants that will "help our economy" and are "educated" and so on, but the truth is pretty obvious.

You are not really helping things Jeff. Did someone else get a hold of your Admin account?

Not helping things? What are you talking about?

I disagree with Jeff's assertion that anyone who thinks illegal immigration is more important to them than healthcare, the economy, war and peace, etc, is obviously a racist, moron, and deplorable. I can't fathom how any rational person can come to this conclusion. People don't all have the same take on what's most important to them. To someone who has good healthcare and believes the healthcare system in the US is working okay for the most part (not me, but someone can think this), that the economy is doing great, and that the US is generally secure from threat of war, then illegal immigration may very well be more important. I am not saying I agree that it is the most important issue, but I can understand and appreciate that people have different priorities as a result of their circumstances - it doesn't automatically make them a racist, moron, and deplorable. I find Jeff's behavior beyond the pale, therefore I questioned whether someone else got a hold of his account.

Thank you! I'm the OP, and the one whom Jeff called a moron, racist, or deplorable. He called me a white supremacist, and accused me of being against ALL immigration. He is exemplifying the very worst of liberal traits - demonizing people who disagree.

FTR, I believe illegal immigration should be our number one issue because it so negatively impacts other areas, such as health care and the economy. You simply cannot throw open the doors to foreign nationals who cannot afford to feed their own kids and expect American taxpayers, most of whom earn moderate wages, to pay to teach these kids English, provide them with lunch, and then give all benefits to any additional babies born here.

Just look at the "illegal" neighborhoods, where they congregate. The public schools are rated 3, property values have dropped by a third, and elderly Americans who bought a $50,000 ranch house 40 years ago have watched their equity drop. Or to to a nearby ER, where illegal aliens get treated for free, and lower-middle class Americans can't afford the ER bill.

No, I am in favor of immigration - but merit-based. And I have lenient standards. Adults needs a high school degree and must demonstrate that they have the means to provide for their families. But it is ridiculous the way liberals care more about the wants of non-Americans, even though it comes at the expense of working-class Americans, and then accuse anyone who points that out as being racist is crazy.

If you believe illegal immigration has a significant impact on healthcare than someone has swindled you.

Health care is the lesser example. It's the economy in general. How do you liberals think we can keep importing millions and millions of poor, uneducated, unskilled immigrants who require and take taxpayer support, and lower the caliber of our public school system, without seeing a huge impact?

It must be hard to live in such a state of fear and paranoia.

No, I live in reality. Leave your little UMC liberal bubble, and drive over to the Glenmont Shopping Center and see what the area looks like. Maybe you can pick up the dirty diapers lying in the parking lot and suggest to the mothers that they don't let their toddlers sit in the beer-drenched curb. Then knock on the doors of the elderly people living nearby and tell them you're sorry that the illegal influx has killed the schools and robbed them of their home's equity they could have used to pay for care in their old age.

This is not recent. Kennedy and Wheaton have always been the worst MCPS schools.

True. Happy anniversary to this poll!

Awe! That's so cute. Is Northam still thinking about removing an exit because of MD traffic? Oh, bother, amirite?

Dp here. My families and other millions of people are waiting in line for immigrant visa for many many years ( the legal way) but you want open borders/ not caring illegal immigrants breaking the law ? I find you are a liberal/socialist who can’t understand the law and order. Democrats scream for fairness...really?

Economic is good and people do care .

The scary part is that cheap has a cost, in that the quality of work I'm finding is not really that great, especially landscaping. I'm doing a lot of both myself now.

What's happening is that Jeff is nervous about the election and then he gets EXTRA nasty and accusatory toward anyone who has a different opinion.

Rush Limbaugh made this statement last night: "“Even now, the real anger at Trump is actually at you for having elected him"

Yup.

The economy.

I want the last 2 years to continue.

Who wants to go back to 2014?

The last two years were a continuation of the previous two years More jobs added under Obama ‘a last two years than Trump’s first two years (look up the BLS data). Stock market also did really well during Obama’s tenure. There are two indicators where Trump’s record is more impressive: biggest peacetime and non recessionary budget deficit- I suppose it takes a multiple bankruptcy person to rack up a trillion dollar budget deficit which we will presumably pay for with cuts in the social safety net. The other is inflation which has been much higher under Trump. The sugar high of the tax cut will start to wane soon (in fact Commerce Department data indicates businesses did surprisingly little investment spending in the last year). We have trade wars to look forward to in the future.

Sorry, lad, you've been brainwashed.

Compare 2014-2016 with 2016-2018.

It's night and day.

I am not brainwashed. I can look at the data instead of listening to talking points from either side

Northern Virginia now carries the vote for the rest of VA. No. VA is full of sanctuary counties. It stands to reason that No.VA would vote Dem because it ensures more illegal immigration, family chain migration, etc. In other words, people in No.VA vote their own interests.

Yup.

I am angry with Trump and angry with the people who voted for him. I accidentally heard Rush the other day when I was on a long drive and he was saying that same sh*t - trying to get his dumb listeners to stay with Trump by promising them that the people who hate Trump think less of them for their support of him. And yeah, can't argue with him there.
