[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you a single issue voter on THIS issue, OP?  What policy would YOU see us enact on immigration?  Do you really think builiding a wall on the entire border with Mexico is actually possible?  Do you honestly think we can force Mexico to pay for it?  Do you really think a "deportation force" to remove 12 million people is realistic?  How would you pay for it?

And lastly, do you not see how single issue voting is a massive abdication of civic responsibility in a complex world where we have many issues and challenges to solve?  [/quote]

I don't think we should build a wall.

I don't believe in deporting millions of people.

But [b]I think a country needs to enforce the laws on the books, and if we as a society don't like them, we should change them[/b], not ignore/flaunt them. I also think illegal/unskilled workers are hurting our own unskilled labor force in both rural areas and the inner cities.

I DO see how single issue voting is an abdication, so that is why I am not rah-rah Trump. I find him abhorrent. But I feel our leaders have completely turned their backs on us re: this issue. Dems, b/c they want the votes, and Reps b/c they want cheap labor.[/quote]

I've got good news for you.  Changing or immigration laws to make them workable and more effective at securing our borders is called immigration reform, and it's something that both HRC and many moderate Republicans believe strongly in.  [/quote]

Maybe change was too neutral a word. I doubt HRC would change them the way I think they ought to be changed.[/quote]

Oh, so it's a tantrum vote.[/quote]

I don't know what this means. I suppose all votes could be described this way by opponents. I assure you this is the furthest thing from a tantrum. I am heartsick over the condition of our cities and towns that have been hollowed out by the loss of industry, and have become mired in dependency on the govt. I think stopping all unskilled immigration is essential to turning our country around.[/quote]
