i like that the argument is "berlin wall worked" and it just kind of glosses over "berlin wall is a universally recognized symbol of fascism and oppression and its destruction is one of the most enduring images of freedom of the 20th century"

Trump should suggest forced labor camps for illegals. The prospect of 10 years hard labor would cause some to think twice about coming to america and risk getting caught.

What if it turns out the plan that most benefits the working class also inadvertently benefits illegal immigrants

Is that still worse than the plan where all the immigrants are deported for potentially marginal benefits to the working class

Do you know what an H1B is? Less indentured servitude is good for everybody. There can be other visas that skilled immigrants can use, and those should be provided for and expanded as needed, and those immigrants paid (under employer and union penalty, rigorously enforced) competitive salaries, removing the negative wage pressure from the H1B program.

I understand that this isn't the one-liner policy issue that you'd like to stick it to the libs, but them's the tough breaks about reality, kid.

I don't believe what neoconservative shill thinktanks have to say. I'm also not interested in nebulous "benefits to the economy". I want proof that it's going to help the working and middle class, "THE ECONOMY" is just code for the rich fucks at the the top, that's where the trillions are going to go.

I like that, when presented with evidence, you just assume it's a trick. I mean, you don't have any actual sources to the contrary outside of stuff shouted at Trump rallies, but it just can't be true that getting rid of all the illegals could actually be bad for the country because your gut feeling says otherwise.

I'm sorry that you're having trouble finding a job but other poor immigrants, illegal or otherwise, aren't the ones loving you.

No one itt has ever suggested restricting treatment or benefits to Americans based on race. This is a lie that you made up,

20% of your fellow Trump supporters literally believe that the Emancipation Proclamation was a bad idea. Your brand is beyond toxic.

quote:

If you actually thought the American people cared about coddling illegals, you wouldn't have to try so hard to link it to race to make us look bad.

The American people, by and large, don't give a poo poo about illegal immigrants. Want to know why? Because net immigration to and from Mexico is zero now.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."

The difference of course being that no one other than goons ironically calling for full communism now are actually calling for killing all rich people. But yeah, other than that, "tax the super-wealthy who crashed the entire economy eight years ago slightly more" is totally the same as "deport all illegals." Really keen observation there, maybe the truth is in the middle.

I have a hard time believing you can find a poll that says Bernie supporters are anything other than young idealists who like the sound of free college, but if you have one go ahead.

You also can't actually find clips of Bernie actually saying "kill all bankers" yet there seems to exist an endless amount of Trump saying he'll deport all the Mexicans and ban all Muslims.

"Both sides are the same" doesn't really work when one side is an orange clown man deliberately saying the most incrndiary, outlandish things possible.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/02/26/trump-racist-poll-slavery-yougov-economist-upshot-column/80986474/

quote:

According to the poll, backers of Clinton and Sanders, white Democrats, are more likely to disapprove of the Civil-War executive order than supporters of Hispanic Republican Marco Rubio. One in 10 Sanders supporters disapproves of Lincoln’s executive order. Rubio supporters are less likely to disapprove of or have doubts about the landmark civil rights decision than African-Americans themselves.

The same poll finds that Clinton supporters are about 40% more likely than Sanders backers to be fans of Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt’s decision to round up Japanese-Americans and throw them into “internment camps.” Supporters of the two Democrats are both more likely to support the racist policy than Rubio's backers by a margin of 2 to 1. The poll of 2,000 Americans found that 39% of Clinton backers either support the action, for which the U.S. Congress and President Ronald Reagan apologized in 1988, or are unsure of their position. The United States paid reparations to the interred Japanese-Americans.

Sorry, its 10% of Sanders supporters, not 20%, but we can clearly see that Bernie Sanders is very racist; however there is a separate thread for that. Clinton supporters, of course, see no problem with rounding people up and putting them in camps.

But please continue to quote YouGov and PPP at people like they matter or we care

btw:

""38% of Florida voters think it's possible that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer," PPP's Tom Jensen writes. "10% say he for sure is, and another 28% say that they are just not sure. "

Well there you go, 38% of Florida voters think its possible Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, 20% of Trump and 10% of Sanders supporters think the Emancipation Proclamation was a mistake, and 39% of Clinton backers are fine with rounding people up and putting them in camps.

I actually do. The difference is, unlike you, I understand that it's not the fault of Latin American migrant workers. And the fact that you're literally backing an openly racist (probably ex-) billionaire who outsourced a lot of American jobs shows how completely deranged you are. You reward those who have hosed you without lube and then whine about those who haven't done you an ounce of harm.
