[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel lost as well. I will (hopefully) be a naturalized citizen in 4 years. Who do I vote for?
I am an atheist and pro choice. I don’t care about gay marriage either way. I support school choice and charter schools. I also support science. 
I am strongly opposed to illegal immigration, political correctness gone mad, social justice warfare, and everything along these lines. I guess I am neither liberal nor progressive in this sense.

You are a dem my dear.  An atheist in the repub party?  Ah no.  Most dems are opposed to illegal immigration - we just want a humane solution.  Kicking out DACA kids who don’t even speak their country’s language seems harsh.[/quote]

No, Democrats want open borders.[/quote]

No we don’t. That’s a lie that Faux News spreads to republicans about democrats that is not true. We don’t want open borders. We want a refined immigration policy that addresses security, humanitarian, political, population growth, labor law and economic considerations.[/quote]

Don't believe the propaganda.

I'm not the PP.

What propaganda?

I watched the Democratic debates (because I would like to vote for a Democrat candidate, since Trump is such a putz).

Several Democratic candidates want to decriminalize border crossings.  What effect will that have on illegal immigration?

Several Democratic candidates support free health insurance to illegal immigrants.  Will that increase or decrease the number of illegal immigrants in my town?

Can you point out a clear position where the Democrats have said they will try to curtail illegal immigration?[/quote]

Decriminalization is not the same as open borders -- that's just a Faux News twist.  Decriminalization means removing criminal penalties for illegal entry/overstay, not that anybody is allowed entry.  It does mean no more concentration camps and baby jails, though.

Providing health care without checking immigration status is a measure to reduce healthcare costs.  Healthcare via emergency room visits is the most expensive way to provide healthcare and at least so far we provide emergency care regardless of criminal status.  So until we're comfortable checking everyone's immigration status before treating them in the emergency room and we're will to kick people out to die on the street, just maybe, we should consider cheaper ways to provide care.  There isn't a lot of intellectually consistent middle ground between providing universal healthcare and letting people die on the street.
