Where is your source for that? I assume you are saying that the majority of illegal immigrants overstay their visas. I may have heard that before but I would love a source because it seems surprising.Quote:

I don’t think it I’d surprising at all. But I guess I could see how it would surprise someone that listened to a Trump rally or watches Fox News.
You're beating up a straw man there. I think everyone is in favor of removing people who are here illegally regardless of how they got here. If you are hoping for some racism angle the vast majority of illegal immigrants are from Mexico and Central America (Vast Majority) regardless of how they got here. I would say that at least if they came in with a Visa they received some approval to be in the country. People crossing the border illegally have no such screening.Quote:

My father in law is from El Salvador (Tech grad!) and some of his family still lives there. I had some discussions with him about the caravan and the conditions in El Salvador that people are fleeing and applying for asylum. He's probably more hard line on illegal immigration than I am, but certainly short of Dawg80's kill them all and let God sort them out policy.
I don't listen to Trump rallys or watch fox news, but go ahead and attack. I was genuinely curious. I found some similar sources of my own. And less left wing than yours.Quote:

Besides the four pilots, all but one of the terrorists entered the United States only once and had been in the country for only three to five months before the attacks.”

I hadn't heard that he said that, but couldn't one gather that he said that from actually watching him on CNN? Or do you just assume everyone outside of you is brainwashed?Quote:

The third is that I don’t think most white people would catch the reference in the context it was used.Quote:

Its ok Guiss, we know, we know.

So because it doesn't work 100% of the time we shouldn't bother. That's what you are implying here.Quote:

I guess that's too hard for you to understand though.Quote:
