Oh, well I meant digital In a different way, like either on or off, one or two, closed borders or open. I’m glad you get my actual point though

So what I meant is to say that more immigration is a net positive, but that in no way makes anyone who sounds like me “open borders”.

Cmon guys, you know there are more layers to this story.

It's all in how we treat people Sandra ... from my prior post:

It's a simple question, what is so hard about that.

"Trot me out the immigration law(s), they broke."


Everything else is a redirect without substance. So are you sure it is me that does not know the difference?

btw: you can not stop evolution, one might can slow it down a bit, but migration from one continent to the next has been an ongoing occurrence since Adam and Eve. If my ancestors had never migrated I'd be living in Germany. You? It's that simple. You cannot stop change. No one can. God can help us understand it, but He is not putting a stop to it.

Logic, I missed that.

And yes there are so many lawyers to the story, the truth will forever be elusive.

I bet these people have doors, door locks, fences, window etc on their own homes though. Maybe if they had one of the not so nice encounters with some illegals (I've been burglarized twice, they caught them) they'd change their minds.

I think most libs would agree with this, I certainly do. Here's the difference, when captured we believe they are still human beings and should be treated as such where the Trump Administration apparently believes they should be treated poorly before being processed.

That's nice to hear but I don't agree. The leaders of the Democratic party are for illegal immigration, anything to get those votes. They use euphemisms the whole "path to citizenship" crap. Who do they think they're kidding? Anyone with more than 3 brain cells can see right through it, they just want the votes. If these people upon their "path to citizenship" would vote Republican the wall would have been built 25 years ago.

The director of operations for the company I used to work for, he's a huge liberal, probably the most successful guy I know. He's for completely open borders. He and I are friends so it was a friendly debate, but

This is an honest question to all people advocating for the rights of "undocumented immigrants". Why do you think they are a righteous cause?



I stopped watching the networks years ago. The democrats are "buying" votes by, under a "republican" president, supporting open borders. Open borders = "You all come right in, you hear!" Under a democrat president they wanted to keep the brown hordes out.



The democrats are agenda-less and leaderless and are in receipt of, what's her name?, Hillary Clinton's post election debacle strategy of "Russia, Russia, Russia."



Hillary must have seen Jan in too many Partridge Family episodes.



That was fun.


Stop watching propaganda. Think for yourself.
