[quote=Anonymous]Maga, please take a second to reflect. Think back to yesteryear, before the GOP decided to make illegal immigration the new boogeyman. Most likely, this subject rarely crossed your mind. This isn’t because it wasn’t an issue. It has always been an issue. A complicated one. Neither party has ever made much progress on the matter. But for the vast majority of us, undocumented immigrants have never been problematic in our daily lives. In fact, they improve it with their skilled labor, contributions to the economy, etc. So please take a second to ask yourself WHY this became issue #1 for you. Ask yourself if you are really seeing evidence that these people, as a whole, are destroying our country the way the GOP has you believing. Sure, in some areas it is a bigger problem. Yes, it is still an issue that needs fixed. But the GOP cherry picking some cases where undocumented immigrants are committing crimes while ignoring our home grown criminals does not give an accurate picture.

It is not hyperbole to say that this country is in serious trouble and things can very likely escalate to the point where many of us will need to flee…and become undocumented immigrants in another country. You know that’s a thing, right? Americans as undocumented immigrants? Maybe you think this won’t apply to you because you love everything that Trump does and would never want to leave. Consider the fact that the precedent of lawlessness that he has set will not just go away. If a democrat as lawless as Trump took office, things could change for you quite rapidly.

Please. Think about the issues that actually affect your daily lives and the lives of our most vulnerable citizens. Use that to guide you. Not the scare tactics your party is using to make you think this particular situation is so dire that only a lawless strongman like Trump can handle it. [/quote]
