How many of the D’s on this board

There's usually tells. Here are some examples:

The person can't speak any English despite being in the center of the US

They are consistently loitering in groups outside home depot

They are raping/murdering women and children

Not all the tell tale signs, obviously, but observation can be your friend in these moments..

So you just write a check? You don't actually do anything.
I do just write a check to Heifer.

But beyond that I was very fortunate in my business career that I could semi-retire early. So now I focus my time on projects that are making a difference.
  • I provide pro bono operations and organization scaling advice to a very successful after school program in inner city Chicago that serves youth (both legal and illegal residents).
  • I provide pro bono consulting support (board governance, executive coaching, revenue growth etc) to an economic development organization in inner city Chicago
  • I am building the strategic plan for a third organization that provides assistance to all kinds of people also focused on the inner city.
I spend anywhere from 10-20 hours per week on these topics. All of it unpaid. But nice try at a gotcha.
 
My ex and her whole family immigrated from Canada. They all spoke fluent French, but assimilated into society and learned the language. My ex came over in the third grade and went from a French third grade to repeating third grade in English. They eventually all got their citizenship. And they think the illegals coming in this country is an outrage
 
You know that a very large chunk of “illegals” DID follow the process, came here legally and got green cards, work visas etc and applied for renewals…but are now technically illegal through no fault of their own because OUR system failed them and couldn’t process renewals, asylum hearings, etc in a timely manner, right?

They’re literally here legally, put down roots, get jobs, start families, etc and become “illegals” because the clock runs out while they were following the process.
OK.

And how do you feel about the illegals who did none of that?

(did not follow the process, did not come here legally and get green cards, work visas, etc...)

Your opinion on that type of illegal please.

Please use more words to describe why it's dumb.

Do you favor a legal process for immigrants to come here, or no?

Lawlessness when it comes to immigration is fine with you? And if so, why?
I’m very much in favor of a legal process, it’s been a failure of every administration. And there’s plenty of lawlessness to go around.

The premise of the post is dems inviting illegals over for thanksgiving dinner. That’s a dumb question, which subsequently means it’s a dumb post.

Enough words? I’m actually surprised that people couldn’t figure out on their own how dumb of a question it is.
 
I'm not a fan of the thread and OP in the context. The illegals coming here are seeking their own way to achieve Thanksgiving. They are risking a lot to do so, even knowing it's illegal. I don't think they should be here, and I would like them to leave, but I'd invite them to my Thanksgiving meal. I'd also let them know they are welcome to come back next Thanksgiving and every Thanksgiving after that, but only as a legal resident.

In the bigger, everyday context, most liberals want to help people, which is noble. The problem is, they don't want to help personally, they want everyone to be forced to help. Once that happens, there are people who are content to be helped rather than be responsible for themselves.

I am inviting the same number of immigrants as the number of babies that you are adopting to save from being aborted.
So you admit they are babies? I was told they're not human beings yet.

And by the way, this thread is about how D's handle a D created problem (illegal immigrants).

Then you think it's a gotcha when you ask how R's would handle yet another D created problem (abortion).

No.

Still no WHY it's dumb in those 2 sentences nor in your entire post. Still. Wow.
 
I’ll be too busy shopping Black Friday Deals before the massive Trumpflation cripples our economy.

I’ve explained it enough, I’m sorry you can’t comprehend it. Perhaps use some critical thinking skills while Fox News is at commercial breaks. Happy Thanksgiving

If they’ve truly entered illegally and are not/have never been involved in a process to legalize themselves? This is where I would like an amnesty program of some sort - in broad strokes I’ve suggested the following before:

1) they get 1 year to come forward and identify themselves. If they can establish that they have a job, have a place to live etc; AND have never committed anything worse than a parking ticket; I’d grant them essentially a permanent resident status or something. BUT they can never apply for citizenship.
2) if they do not, or do commit a crime after coming forward, they get deported with no appeals.
3) anyone who has committed a crime is fair game for deportation.

Fair?

Not too bad. There are probably some nuances that need t be addressed, but it would be a good framework. Most wester countries require a resident alien be able to support themselves, so they would have to keep a job, have health insurance, etc.

Yeah, the devil would obviously be in the details, but I would agree with stuff you mentioned.

Let me mark this day on my calendar…”on this date I agreed with Finance85”
