Thanks for the invitation but NO. I can't even describe how much it angers me to see young people(18, 19) missing arms and legs, with nothing left to live for. Anyways, I am not discussing this subject any longer because I have a lot of problems with this subject. So, you will not hear anything else on this subject coming from me. We just have different opinions, that is all.
Oh, it bothers me too. AND, I, and my wife, see these brave men and women on a very, very regular basis - we work with these folks - some approaching 40 years old - not just 18 or 19 year olds
You could, at the very least, show some RESPECT for our troops. But, I don't think that is possible

Being a life long Democrat and against illegal immigration, I am trying to understand the people who share a Democratic viewpoint. Why are many if not most Democrats for an open border and amnesty while most republicans for stricter border security (except Wall Street Republicans like George Bush)?
I would like to hear from fellow Democrats mostly.
It is important. It is just not as high as some other issues right now. I would point out that Republicans also think tax cuts for the rich, banning abortion and gay marriage and finding a war to fight somewhere are more important too.

Reasons: Many democrats want to stay true to their party. Many poor democrats are as always lured by democrat candidates promises of free services. Rich democrats are often not as threatened 'personally' by illegal immigration. Many democrats are for globalism in the 'Security and Prosperity Agreement' which is known as the North American Union. Many democrats though have switched to Independent or Republican due to illegal immigration issue.
This is why I advocate so strongly for ALL young people out of high school to do 2 years mandatory military service, so that Punk Trolls like this at least are exposed to a grain of reality. The military, by the way, does not teach revisionist history....
Democrats of course have bigger fish to fry: heralding in the Nanny State, universal health care, taxation for the "rich" (i.e. hardworking, self made) only, taking god out of everything and off everything (money, buildings, statues, etc.), limiting free speech only to those who are in line with their agenda. Welcome to the brave new world!! No time for common sense and keeping our country safe and sovereign. Just the right milieu for the Invaders and Terrorists: one group continues to invade and cause anarchy, the other group just waiting to take over after anarchy to install their brand of "law"--can we spell S-H-A-R-I-A???

Looking at the blunders committed during the Bush era; I am about ready to give the Dems a chance.
The latter are at a crossroads: either support working class Americans or support the pro illegal crowd.
Why do Democrats have little interest in the illegal immigration issue?
Are you serious.
They see future voters.
Oh yeah, they dwell on that. Laughing my a** off.
