[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP’s thread title is completely misleading.

But that sort of intentional distortion is increasingly common among democrats these days.

Not only misleading, but it draws a totally false equivalency.  Comparing immigration in the US to Japan?  Please.

I can say, without a doubt, that the vast majority of conservatives are all for legal immigration.

It's the ILLEGAL entry that's at issue here.  [/quote]

You're failing to see the point.  The point is: the research shows NOT that we have an emergency with illegal entry; but rather a mismatch with our legalization of immigration and our current and future labor needs (especially low-skill) in light of our demographics.   The rational policy response to to focus on creating legal immigration routes.  Yet, your side focuses on demonizing illegal immigrants rhetorically, and treating them brutally.  It is not a rational policy response ... unless you're more interested in stirring up animus towards illegal immigrants.

The BEST policy platform for immigration is:  reform to provide us with the legal migrants we need, and treat everyone humanely.[/quote]

"Legal migrants we need" is something that rational people can disagree about.  Policies respond to societal needs but policies also shape societies. [/quote]

I fully agree that rational people can disagree.  Yet, I haven't seen a single person here actually engage rationally.  [/quote]
