[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A question for progressives:

In general, democrats/liberals in the US support more immigration, amnesty of those here illegally, and other policies that support heterogeneity.

However progressive economic policies seem to only flourish within homogeneity.

Which is more important to progressives? The former or the later?

I already had my own opinions on this but this article made me think of it again today:

I have voted D in all elections for full disclosure.

Liberals/SWPL's act the same 'white flightish' ways that caused de-urbanization as well - look at white people commenting regarding cupertino, tj, and other schools if too many asians come in.

Barack Obama faced a border surge, Donald Trump faced a border surge, and Joe Biden is certain to face one as well. Each of these men like to talk as if they could enforce limits without turning away good people. Obama said we could just focus on "felons, not families," Trump had his "wall" (to keep out the "bad hombres") with a "big beautiful door" (to let "the good ones" in). Biden didn't focus on immigration during his campaign but his website promises to restore the Obama-Biden administration policy "to prioritize enforcement resources on removing threats to national security and public safety, not families."

None of these men's rhetoric measures up against Barbara Jordan's simple yardstick:

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."
Jordan had four words for those who argued that unauthorized migrants should be exempt from immigration limits so long as they haven't broken any additional laws. "Let me be clear," she said, "that is not enough."

Without credible enforcement, she warned, illegal immigration would accelerate and undermine confidence in the entire immigration system.
