Republicans pre-2016 weren't what I'd call pro-immigration. Romney was castigated as an undercover racist and ran on a relatively conservative anti-illegal immigration policy. It's important to keep in mind that when we talk about immigration in American politics, it is almost always about illegal immigration.

The populist anti-poor, uneducated immigrant policy of the post-2016 era is reflective of the fact that it's impossible to have a functioning welfare state (which populists want!)and mass immigration. Canada is a poor example, because their immigration policies are actually quite strict. You have to be when you're paying tens of thousands per head in social benefits.

It's in regards to admitting a large amount of foreign elite (tech mostly) in order to compete with and crowd out existing Americans.

You said a massive ethnic slur that I've never said in my life. Fuck off, actual racist.


Even if you win this battle.
That is not how you win the war.

You win it by embracing the negativity, thus robbing it of it power.
You then defeat them anyway using fact, logic and history a.k.a. the truth.

Gandhi knew this and defeated the British empire with it.
Well, that and salt.

As I have always said.
The left/right paradigm is smoke and mirrors, a distraction.
Literally look at this, while we do that.
Based on this, further discussions about reps and dems is moot.

There is no longer a voting solution.


Democrats aren't left wing.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

To the left of republicans, and still right wing.

You're welcome to post the left wing policies that dems have enacted since controlling all 3 branches of the gov though.

What they've tried to do or what they've accomplished? The United States is a center-right country, of course they're going to struggle to pass left-wing policies.
