[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like why do you all care so much? What affect will it have on your daily life? Is it the thought that somewhere in America a family without the proper paperwork and time in bureaucratic limbo might be having a happier and higher quality of life? Does that keep you awake at night? That someone might be getting something for free? Why doesn’t it bother you that rich Americans get unearned benefits at your expense? Your economic unease is due to money grubbing top .01% of Americans, not Hispanics fleeing countries torn apart by America’s insatiable appetite for illegal narcotics.[/quote]

Why? Because the GOP propaganda machine pumps out misinformation about unauthorized immigrants 24x7 - misinformation that fuels the fear and anger of their gullible conservative base. Conveniently distracting them from their rape of the middle & working classes.

Wow.  Just wow.  I guess the statistic of 11 million illegal aliens in this country is a “made-up GOP statistic?”  I guess the murder of Kate Steinle, Ronald deSilva, Drew Rosenberg, and countless others is just “misinformation?”  I guess the numerous images of illegal aliens scaling our walls are simply “propaganda?"
Why do we care so much?  [b]For one, we have laws. [/b] Laws that are being ignored by the illegal aliens entering this country.  Laws being ignored by the Democrats welcoming them in.  And, laws being ignored by the Democratic politicians giving them sanctuary.  
I care because our fiscal resources are limited.  Every illegal alien who enters our country diverts resources from citizens who live here - in schools, in hospitals, and yes, in federal funding (these illegal alien children are eligible for free lunches AND a free education - almost always at a cost higher than that of citizens).  
I care because some of these entering illegally are coming to do harm to our citizens.  Some are gang members who have actually murdered and raped others.  Some are drug runners who flood our country with illegal drugs.  
So, yeah, I care.  Illegal immigration lowers the quality of life for many here.  
The question is why do you NOT care?  Why do you NOT care about our laws and the well-being and safety of our citizens?  What other laws do you believe are “optional?” [/quote]

Out of curiosity, were you this concerned about laws the Bundys broke?  What about Arpaio?  [/quote]

Do you always participate in whataboutism?  Do you always have difficulty staying on topic?[/quote]

No problem staying on topic.  Answer the question.  You said you care about our laws.  So do I.  I am wondering if you are as preoccupied with law-breaking of the Bundy's, for example.  Or Arpaio.  Or is this more about brown people breaking the law.  It's pertinent to the conversation because so much of the propaganda of the Trump administration and their supporters is thinly veiled racism.  The "caravan frenzy" is the latest example.   I'm curious if you're as passionate about whites breaking our laws.

So answer the question. [/quote]

Start a new thread.  We are talking about illegal immigration here.  The Bundys have nothing to do with that.  [/quote]

Stop being dense.  The reasons I bring this up is that so many anti-immigration nonsense in this thread is based in supposed "rule of law" ... but only, it seems, when it pertains to brown people.  I'll let your deflection stand as a response.  Think we both know it's not the law you're so worried about.  [/quote]
