You are a member here aren't you? I'm sure there are some here who are active members who don't have America's best interest in mind.

That's interesting, this being a conservative site and all.

So does the CFR like this site, promotes or supports smaller government, less taxes, a sovereign country, and secured borders?

The CFR researches all sides of issues

I was told earlier they don't have any positions either and the CFR is like Hardball, the television show where they just debate stuff.

So unlike this site, that we belong to, they don't come out and say, or spell out specifically what it is they support?

“So unlike this site, that we belong to, they don’t come out and say, or spell out specifically what it is they support?”

Each task force will, of course, take a position, but to quote the link to the CFR that you apparently did not read:

“Once formed, Task Forces are independent. Task Force chairs, directors, and members are solely responsible for the content of their reports.”

Notably, said task force speaks for itself, not the other members.

Indeed, as linked above there are RESPONSES, generally critical, to said task force by other members.

Haven’t you ever seen a high school debate “RESOLVED: Immigration is Bad/Good” and then each side goes at it? It’s like Lincoln-Douglas debates for grown ups.
