With the exception of the second amendment and whatever "choir long politicians" are, I can look at the below three things:

  • Controlling our borders.
  • Law and order.
  • Fair trade deals.

The first is "I don't want to compete with anyone else here for my job because I'm privileged." The last is "I don't want to compete with anyone else overseas for my job because I'm privileged." The middle is "I'm privileged so I want to keep the people in society who are below me in their place."


And I know the simple retort is "I'm not opposed to legal immigration, only illegal immigration", but if you really believe that you'd be willing to increase immigration limits or create a serious guest worker program (as a Republican, GWB, suggested) to allow people who just want to come here and work a legal path to do so that is different than immigration.
Here you go again. Why do you liberals, and don’t say that you’re not because what you just stated is as liberal as anything I’ve ever seen, insist on knowing what you think other people are thinking. What kind of an argument is that? Illegal immigration for me is 100% related to the safety of people that are in this country. All I would like to see is much more vetting and understanding of who’s coming in. Could not care less as it leads to my job I just don’t want my daughters blown up in a stadium someday because we didn’t vet the terrorist even a little bit when they came into the country.

No, I was reading, actually.

Your airline story isn't an employee.  As far as I know, when I fly on an airplane, I'm not working for them.


And your grocery store guy was in violation of corporate policy, and so would an employee wearing a BLM mask.  


Your gotcha failed.

Ok... So you support wider legal immigration limits and/or a guest worker program to appropriately vet people who are just coming into this country to work?

I mean, history has shown that illegal immigrants have much lower crime rates than, say, Trump campaign staffers.

No.  An American flag should be universally ok for a person to wear in America, without exception.  It is not. 

you- again- have failed.

I found 2 examples in 20 seconds

how many do you want- Since we all know you live in the narrative world and completely ignore facts.


And despite Food Lion’s policy, the company does provide special parking for veterans outside – marked with American flags.

In a statement, Food Lion said it has "great respect for the American flag," but also has blanket policies banning writing, insignia and symbols "to ensure a consistent and professional representation of our associates inside of our stores."

You are now falling into the- Yeah- cool story bro category.  

I wonder if any of His campaign staffers contributed bail money to arrested rioters?  Guessing no.  But now you can lecture me on why that’s ok and remind me what I am really thinking.

Kind of like Goodyear tire?  Or Starbucks with BLM versus Blue lives matter?

Umm, various of Trump's campaign staff has either been convicted of felonies, confessed / plea bargained to felonies, or is currently being investigated for felonies.

And you're complaining that Biden's campaign staffers have contributed to bail money for people who will still have to face their music but are just trying to get out of lockup while they work on that? 

Again, I don't understand the constant deflection to "look at actual crimes Trump's people committed" and then you respond with "well, look at what Democrats do, even if it's not directly comparable and far less egregious" as if it's a reflex?

If we are talking about choices we have, and who offers what, then neither side wins for me. But if one of the issues is -who is aligned with violence and chaos- and that is one of the main issues, and trying to sell the ridiculous narrative that it is Republicans-then  Biden and Harris openly supporting those caught in the destruction is if way more importance than the doofus who will be gone soon.

but here again, you were responding to immigration, by telling me what I think, and then you randomly threw the Trump crap in there.

It’s hilarious at this point. Any topic about anything has to include the random Trump bashing, but I am deflecting.

I was trying to rehash a meme. There are numerous studies saying illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born citizens. I was trying to play of that meme that pointed out the criminality in Trump's organization because he portraits immigrants as criminals.

Is there evidence those companies allow BLM masks?

(Before I get yelled at, I generally think it's stupid that either company prohibits such a thing. And if Food Lion is a bastion of the liberal scourge, it's an interesting choice given the set of locales it occupies)
