They don't seem that conflicted to me; they just roll out the welcome mat to anybody that wants to come here.

don't want a wall, don't want ICE, don't want restrictions on dangerous countries, don't want voter I.D.,....

Compare number of deportations of Barack Obama vs past and current pres. Sure we don’t want that stuff that doesn’t mean Dems want open borders. Who’s legislating for that?

This headline is deeply misleading as for me to question the Times motives in printing this. What they should be writing about is how the Republicans under Trump are now a nativist, xenophobic party that bashes immigrants and tells their supporters to fear them.
-
Oh stop listening to social media headlines telling you what to think. There are a millions of people just like me that sit right of center who are pro immigration - legal immigration. But it's easier to shout all republicans are [fill in the blank].

Crafting a pro-immigrant message, even when those immigrants are a benefit to the country, is difficult when the other side has effectively pushed xenophobia for so long.
-
Herein lies the problem. The majority of Americans are pro immigrant. You're letting the news and social media make you think otherwise. This country's majority wants immigrants - we just want them to come here legally. And there's nothing wrong with that view.

As demographics continue to change, this will become less and less of a problem.

Before jumping to a conclusion here, I'd love to know exactly what this means?

I'm referring to the elephant in the room, the writing on the wall.pic.twitter.com/PZ8Z0q8fLl

Hmmm...did this explain why? Is the jump just that many more babies being born, immigrants (legal or illegal), or just a mere over population by attrition?
-
Both. 1. Whites have more deaths than births in most U.S. states (see recent NYT time article on this). 2. Even if Trump built a wall today, the "internal births" alone would fuel the change in demographics.
-
The wall is a dumb idea any way. So I agree. And yes, Hispanics have far more babies than Whites. But, given that Whites have only begun to decline in the US birth rate, one would assume Hispanics will follow eventually as prosperity hits them. Thanks for the info.
-
Just a note: There are White Hispanics. "Hispanic" is a cultural thing, not a racial one. If anything, its population composition comprises traditionally a group of races: Whites, Blacks, Natives and mixes between them.
-
"Hispanic" is a term created by White American men (i.e. the Richard Nixon Admin). Before that, the terms Mexican-American/Chicano were most used. Hispanic refers to Spain, Spaniards, Spanish. But the vast majority of people mislabeled "Hispanic" are predominantly Indigenous.

There are millions of Americans hungry, lonely, homeless, hurting on the inside regarding many growing issues so much so that killing, drugs, suicide was the ending choice for some. Its sad, but there are millions of Americans being tortured every single day due to homelessness.

Drugs cost. There are empires built on their production and distribution. If they use drugs, they do have money.
