Anti-immigrant sentiments are involved in both instances


One based in legality the other on bigotry. No comparison.

It’s like trying to argue that AOC and the Columbine shootings are related because both involve class envy.

This board and the Pumpkin blur the lines frequently through rhetoric and action.



This is an absolutely absurd statement considering that the American left has taken an issue about massive illegal immigration along the Southern border and framed it into a catch-all accusation for every shortcomings of race, ethnicity, gender and creed under the Sun.

True, for a few physical limitations, but the ability to reason and spot bullshite remain, thank God. Those are indispensable talents up in here.

over the last 2 or 3 years, whether explicit or not, the prevalent message has been that Latinos are likely to belong to a gang or otherwise engage in criminal activity, and, by the way, Muslims are, more likely than not, terrorists. Don't be disingenuous.

That's the cumulative effect of the constant anti-immigration message. legal or illegal

Of course you don't understand the difference between anti illegal immigration and anti-immigration


Trump is the one slashing legal immigration numbers as well so maybe you should take that up with him.

Made it harder to get green cards, reduced cap of allowed refugees, limiting sponsorships for relatives..

Politifact scores it as "promise kept":

Should the level of legal immigration remain constant?

I don't particularly care one way or the other. Is this your way of conceding that trump is concerned by more than just illegal immigration?

Should legal immigration remain constant or should it be adjusted by need? It's a simple question.

No, it may not have anything to do with the other event. People(psychos) need to to quit thinking everything is about them.

That, in and of itself, still doesn’t necessarily equate to anti-immigration anymore than going on a diet makes one anti-food.

keeping it constant is the most simple solution unless you're trying to get the government involved

I think that immigration is one area that the government should definitely be involved in. You don't?

What the hell does a float about Trump building the wall have to do with New Zealand and the killings?

Not a damn thing.

As long as he has the proper permitting and the float is licensed properly and no laws were broken then I see no issue with it. Timing and feelings do not supersede freedoms.

So this is definitely a terrible misconception. This goes hand in hand with the racist narrative. Mexicans in gangs and Muslims being terrorist is a stereotype that has been earned. It doesn’t mean that they’re all this way, but all it takes is one to change the trajectory of any random life. It is my responsibility to do everything that I can to make sure that random life isn’t my family or myself. I’m secure enough to admit that their lives don’t even equate to me when I think of it like that.
