    We should be far more worried about the people who are angry at the caravan than the people who are part of it.

        That racist bull shit don’t work anymore. You’re gonna have to actually form and articulate an argument or just continue to look like someone who wallows in their own filth flinging it at intelligent people because reason hurts your indoctrinated mind that’s abstract incapable

        My argument is that old racist bull shit doesn’t work anymore. It’s in the first sentence. Jesus, talk about vapid. Just calling someone racist because you disagree doesn’t work anymore. Those days are over. You leftist pseudo intellectuals have devalued the world to nothing.

        Seems to me that it's pretty natural for humans both to A) want to take drastic measures for the hope of a better life, and to B) feel angry that others feel entitled to violate your in-group's norms/laws.

        Figuring out exactly the right policy and enforcement mechanisms for immigration seems tricky. But I think a pre-condition for figuring out that policy is empathy for all parties involved.

        So the Trump administration deploys 800 US soldiers to the border for what? This is just a stunt to try and show how much Trump is protecting the US. Wonder how these impoverished families feel about that. We owe them a fair hearing when they arrive.
