Yes, but we are not promoting it here.
As far as I can tell, it is perfectly OK to discuss illegal immigration, be against it, call for both a toughening of laws and real enforcement of those laws.
I think it is OK to call for a real wall on both north and south borders and for strong interdiction to keep those walls strong.
I think it is OK to complain about the very real damage illegals do to our economy and infrastructure and a make a call to have ICE do proper deportations.
I think it is OK to point out the incredible affrontry of other country's presidents to critique our sovereign laws and to call for a strong presidential response.
I think these things are OK here -- and appropriate. But calls for vigilantism, using epithets, wholesale condemnation of certain peoples, etc. are never in order. On any board.
But that is just me. And I certainly ain't the owner here.

"But calls for vigilantism, using epithets, wholesale condemnation of certain peoples, etc. are never in order. On any board."I agree. Can't say that I've ever seen any of that on FreeRepublic. What I HAVE seen is those on the open-borders side of the issue playing the race card at every opportunity. Apparently I'm not the only one that has noticed it.
