Yeah, I can see where that comes from.
Yup. Because then there is a chance that a portion will agree with you. Today it is just a system of party politics perpetuating more party politics. And that is exactly why the founders were not hot on political parties to begin with.
It just floors me how so many modern people are sooo much wiser than the people that created the actual country and government.
And people call ‘ME’ arrogant...
Go to hell, Marco. Do not pass Go.
Yeah, you would be better off picking people at random out of a phonebook than this bunch.
Interesting that this thread doesn’t talk about some of the more subtle reasons why amnesty is pretty much a done deal. First, there is the tax avoidance thing. Keep in mind that illegals are living at the margins of our society. They are in the off the books economy. The problem from the uniparty perspective is they’re not only survivng they’re in many cases thriving. So the hope is that by giving these folks a “path to citizenship” they can bring them into the official economy, and more importantly from a uniparty perspective, that there not be 15 million people doing just fine on the off the books economy giving the rest of the population any uppity ideas.
Then there is the diversity aspect. Not the cultural thing, but the pragmatic aspect. Like it or not, birds of a feather tend to flock together. People of shared race or ethnicity tend to organize along those lines politically. The uniparty has been very successful in engaging in a sort of political blockbusting that adds people of different ethnic, religious, and racial backgrounds to the mix to prevent people from effectively organizing along those lines. From our perspective as conservatives it just exacerbates what has been a conservative diaspora: conservatives spread hither and yon across the country.
