Yeah, like when you called ME and my conservative friends "vigilantes" in an attempt to sow fear and confusion about the mission and behavior of the Minuteman Project volunteers. Instead of debating us on the issue or even just politely disagreeing with us and our tactics, you called us a very emotionally charged, derogatory name, dishonestly portraying us as violent lawbreakers. You lied for political gain and slandered good people to further your misguided political agenda.
Then, in this very speech where you call for "civil" debate on the issue, you again portray those who are for border security, protection of our sovereignty, and the enforcement of our laws as "anti-immigrant". Again, you're implying radicalism and possibly racism with such distortions of language and namecalling. If anyone needs a lecture on engaging in "civil" debate on the issue, it is YOU, Mr. President.
I am more than happy to engage in civil debate on this issue. I invite and welcome the President to travel to Cochise County, Arizona to see firsthand the problems that illegal aliens are causing and just how porous our national borders are. Further, I would love to take that opportunity to have the civil debate between the President and border security advocates. We won't call you names even if you continue to sling them at us. We just want to talk and show you what your failure to protect our borders has caused.
So, either you want "civil" debate on the subject, or you're just engaging in further dishonesty and distortion to further your open borders, globalist agenda. I suspect the latter. I'd love it if you, Mr. President, could back up your words with real actions (ie. a real and "civil" debate on issue) and prove me wrong.
