“Let’s share our different perspectives.”
That’s mighty white of you, considering you just registered today.
I’m responding to everyone at once because there was a lot of overlap in questions. Thank you for taking the time to comment even if you think I’m disingenuous.
To be clear, I am strongly advocating for deportations. I am trying to build bridges with people who might not agree because I think we need to persuade people to vote for Trump or else ALL Americans are in for trouble. The only way I’ve ever been able to persuade anybody on such a heated topic is if I earnestly try to see things from their point of view and acknowledge their concerns.
This post was originally made on the liberal Reddit/Politics forum. After the Thought Brigades relentlessly downvoted it into oblivion (so that no one would see it), the Thought Authorities removed it entirely and refused to restore it when I politely inquired.
I’m new to social media but felt I had to do something as my civic duty. Sorry about the bold/italics thing. I wrote the essay myself based on my own research after I realized that most of our media has been egregiously distorting the truth and that most of my relationships were still fooled and looked at me like I was crazy.
I stand by my assertion that overall immigration policy (both legal and illegal) is critical. To just focus on one misses the forest for the trees. The big picture is that overall immigration policy (since the 60s) appears to be a deliberate attempt to undermine and transform American society (even according to official government reports). Overall immigration needs desperately to be slowed down.
To reiterate, many immigrants are decent people who might pay taxes and not technically be on welfare, but still receive benefits in excess of their taxes paid. Think about someone living in an apartment with 3 children. That person might pay a small amount of property taxes via their rent payments, but they are not paying the (national) average of $12,300 per pupil per year.
To those who might be offended at me lumping all immigrants together, I reiterate that I am speaking about averages and not individuals.
I’m just trying to politely get the word out and counter all the propaganda.
Regards,
