You are preaching to the choir, my friend. It is the same with immigration. The most vociferous anti-immigration types have poisoned the issue so much that common sense, simply right-thing-to-do measures aren't even considered.

And we all suffer for it.

Oh, I know that; that's why I posted to you.

I have no interest in getting into a cyber-screaming match with the other contingent.

"...The most vociferous anti-immigration types have poisoned the issue so much that common sense, simply right-thing-to-do measures aren't even considered."

If "common sense, simply right-thing-to-do measures" had been done to begin with, then there would be no need for the "vociferous anti-immigration" segment of American society to have become either "vociferous" or "anti-immigration" to begin with.

The only reason such a situation came to pass is because so many flaming LIBERAL A-Holes got into positions of power AND THEIR ASSININE POLICIES HAD DISASTEROUS CONSEQUENCES.

I am certain that you know the type... The pointy-headed "peace-joy-love, anal-ize the situation to death" crowd... those who think every situation--no matter how threatening--must be resolved through "diplomacy" and "civilized" discourse... Does the French-UN debauchle ring any bells?

When the political psychobabble of these utopian fools finally evolves into policy, and BAD things begin to happen to the public good, then these useful idiots scream "racism," "bigotry" (or whatever the convenient and trendy PC "phobia" lable of the day may be) against those who revolt of the consequences of liberal stupidity.
