It's funny how we demand immigrants "assimilate" but the majority party courts the least-assimilated

10. I think it's really sad that you still believe all that after everything that has ...

happened over the last ten years.

Very sweet, yes, but also very sad.

It is in our nature to be nuanced and to try to understand things from the other side. But, sometimes, things really are as simple as they seem to be. (And sometimes monsters are real.)

President Obama was that president who ran on a workable immigration package. In order to demonstrate his willingness to compromise, his administration oversaw an unprecedented ramp up in border patrol enforcement and the number of deportations skyrocketed. By the end of his administration, there was zero net migration from Mexico to the U.S.

None of that mattered.

"Build a wall", they said. "Rapists and murderers", they said.

Then they separated children from their parents and put them in cages.

THERE IS NO COMPROMISING WITH THESE PEOPLE!

The only compromise they accept is doing things their way.

We just have to outvote them. And, sadly, wait for the oldest of them to die off.

And in the meantime, we need to use whatever influence we have in this world to make them feel like pariahs for their hate-filled attitudes and deeds.
