"The critical issues in this election don't fit into the old liberal/conservative boxes."

That means we should stop using our brains and elect anyone who promises "change?"

" The Dims, with their open borders policies, are building toward a long term electoral majority. They cannot win without a big portion of the population being poor, Third World immigrants."

Yes, I understand all that. Which is why we better get it right and elect a solid Constitutional conservative. Nothing less will do.

"As thinking conservative, we better elect people who will reverse those policies rather than elect more who will be beholden to the Cheap Labor Express donor class and help the Dims achieve their long term majority."

Yes. I'll refer you to my previous response up there.

"A "solid conservative record" means they've probably been voting for open borders, amnesty and one-sided trade agreements. All the "conservative" issues will be lost and in the past if we keep electing such solid conservatives."

Okay, stop. Listen to what you're saying here. Really listen.

You're telling me that a person with a solid conservative record has been voting like a liberal. That makes absolutely no sense. You get that, right?

"We need conservatives who fight for US sovereignty and prosperity and not globlalist "conservatives", of which we have far too many."

Yeah, I didn't see the "globalist" accusation thrown around until some folks got distracted by a shiny new toy. It's an excuse to stick with their new fun thing.

You miss the critical point. There is no clear and widely agreed upon definition of what the conservative position is on border security and illegal immigration.

There are so-called conservative, free market capitalist, free traders who think there should be no borders. There should be a free movement of labor worldwide. That is the Wall Street Journal position. And that is what many so-called conservatives who refuse to enforce immigration law believe, they just are political cowards so they use other methods to advance open borders without admitting what they are doing.

Many Americans are often mytified that nothing is ever done about the absurdly high legal immigration and that immigration law has not been enforced since at least the mid-80s. But it's really no mystery. A heck of a lot of American businessmen and their bought and paid for conservative politicians are totally in favor of high legal immigration and no law enfocement to stop illegal immigration.

It's pointless to debate with you because you have not yet realized that we have a Uniparty when it comes to these issues, and there is no understood and accepted conservative position. They all get confused by the free market, free trade ideology that most have swallowed whole and it heavily influences how they view immigration also, legal and illegal.
