    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia It's cool to go into long winded explains. You've got good points. I guess the constitutional argument then would have to take into account how the individual states could absorb the volume of immigrants and how that would...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia I think Friedman is right here and that's a fair point. Incentive's for behaviors that we want is certainly preferably to punishment / laws for what we don't want, and I agree laws don't equate to results. Interestingly enough a...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia Well I've never been a proponent of an ocean to ocean border wall for it's obvious impracticality. I mean the goal is to be able to identify as many people crossing the border as possible and give limited crossings so that they...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia You're right, for many of the group think right wingers, the term illegal is like a dog whistle call to the playbook security solutions. That's where conservative leaders fail. I'd say the same for the group think left wingers...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia Agreed, neither side argues on principle nor the common good, they create issues that really don't exist so that they can then pander to those issues and the constituency they so effectively convinced of the validity of those...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia Of course not, that's actually my point. I appreciate the desperation of the immigrants coming through the Mexican border, so I don't blame them for putting their lives on the line to get to the US, or any other country for that...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia I can appreciate this. But, this argues not for illegal immigration but for expanding legal immigration. The US has had many legal immigration expansions that opened our borders to immigrants to meet the need of employment in...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia Well, I'd say there's a lot of folks who would disagree with you about the existence of White Privilege, but that's another debate (perhaps). That said though you're still dodging the question. So let me try approach more simply...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia I'm not making a point about how the advantaged have advantages, I'm asking whether you would consider a policy that put them at a disadvantage is racist. You clearly feel that it's racist to have borders that affect Hispanic...

    'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia[W:258]

    Re: 'Undocumented Worker' Arrested for Two Homicides in Virginia Huh. So how are you defining racist here? a policy, choice or action that "inadvertently" affects one group more than it does another? I mean, would you consider a policy of opening the southern US border racists because it...

    I feel real bad for respectable members of the GOP

    That's great! For me, the Jury is still out, so I can't make a premature call on it. We've had many presidents that have had to be reevaluated after the fact to determine what they really did. LBJ got his ass kicked in office for Vietnam only to later be recognized for Civil Rights. Nixon...

    Well said. I agree. What's tough in a forum like this is discerning who is spoiling for a fight vs who is looking for a dialogue and debate. It's all too easy for folks to start with a prejudice that needs to be backed out here than the other way around.
