Immigrants

[arewethereyet]

The concern is now germy immigrants.

Try again Lek.

We ought to get rid of the anti-vaxxers and the boneheads who refused to wear masks. Maybe send them to one of the country people are fleeing from.

Conservatives-A deadly viruses that has killed more Americans then both world wars no big deal....Meh Freedom

I didn't wanna tip my hand but I don't think lek is smart enough to get him to the point.

So the immigrants I was referring were the first ones, The white ones that brought new viruses to the indigenous people of America. Not to mention the genocide of said people

This would have led to me asking what lek defines as an immigrant.

I was with you on that one and didn't figure Lek would respond or even know how.

I mean... to be fair... Obama and Biden really aren't any better on immigration policy than Trump. The kids are still in cages, but because MSNBC stopped reporting it, you didn't realize.

That's what makes this thread even dumber. At the national level, Democrats and Republicans are in near total agreement on immigration policy. It's just in media that they pretend to be polar opposites.

Both parties agree that no-one wants a rush of illegal immigrants.  "Open borders" is a political loser, and both sides know it.

The parties don't agree on what to do with the illegals that have been here for decades, general immigration policy, or funding that should go to dealing with the influx.

That's definitely true... on the debate stage. 

But in practice... look up deportation rates, rates of detainment at the southern border, and the amount immigrants granted citizenship under Bush, Obama, Trump, and then Biden. The numbers do not differ substantially.

This is also the case for other issues. Guess which ones!

I see Lek avoided my question

I answered your question twice.  Everyone should be tested. That's my answer. What kind of group are you talking about?

(my bold)

Your forbears. You know, the ones who actually did all the horrible things the Reich-wing wants you to believe the brown illegals want to do.

Because the states their being transferred from should be the ones taking care of them not pushing their responsibility onto other places and it's just made worst by the fact this is clearly a callous plotical stunt

I guess it's fine as long as the border states take care of them. The number of migrants Texas sent to New York and LA is just a fraction of the number they're dealing with.

Did you know that border states get extra federal funds to help them deal with migrants illegally entering their states?

[Mister Agenda]

If it's the Fed's job to handle immigration, why are you criticizing any individual state or city?

Because they declared themselves to be sanctuary cities and welcomed them there.

All a 'sanctuary city' is, is a place where local law enforcement doesn't do ICE's job for them. Nothing stopping ICE from enforcing immigration laws.

[Mister Agenda]

I see. "Not I'm my neighborhood!". If they care so much for them, why don't they want them?  Talk is easy. Reality is tough.  Don't criticize Texas.

What is so Christian about lying to immigrants and making false promises to get them on buses and then driving them to a location without warning to local authorities so they can be prepared for a sudden influx of migrants? All for a political stunt? What's the Christian part of this that you admire and think shouldn't be criticized?
