I don't get any of these recent digs about this place being any echo chamber. It's never been that.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

You did and that was neighborly. Thank you.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
I said the echo chamber comment because it seems alternative, minority, conservative viewpoints don't seem so welcome in here and you've cheerled other posters when I've posted such before. Maybe it's more perception than reality, tho.
I do think my posts are fairly tame and I get the calm down treatment. Commando gets ragey and he gets the I love you treatment.Comment

Pretty simple. If a person can prove citizenship from any of the 150 countries around the world where US troops are deployed, then they get in - no questions asked - as it is very likely the US contributed to fucking up the country enough to cause the immigration to occur.Originally posted by Crockett View PostYou're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

For the record, I love Commando because he seems like a genuinely kind and compassionate person, he is extremely knowledgable about immigration issues, and he takes the time to explain things clearly and thoroughly. And we go way back. That comment was not a slam on you.

For sure. Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, Japan, Korea, Bahrain. That's almost 90% of overseas deployments. Those are real basket cases.Originally posted by Walter Sobchak View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

But Clinton from year 2000? LolOriginally posted by Crockett View PostHave I been arguing immigration law on here? Don't assume I'm the same as some people on your or your friends' facebook feeds. You may think you know me and lump me in with others, but I'm not some blind Trump supporter. I fall in the Mitt Romney and / or Ben Shapiro camp -- I'm pleased with and will support Trump's progress on conservative goals and policies, but will not hesitate to criticize and NOT support stuff when it's wrong. I don't automatically assume the best or the worst with him. I much preferred other candidates over Trump, but I have no regrets having him as president versus Hillary. That was the choice.
BTW, are you for open borders? Should anyone who wants to move here be allowed to? If not, we can probably get close to agreeing with one another. As you said, there are finite resources. We can't absorb everyone that might want to move here. I'm not for completely closed borders. I very much sympathize with the plight of people seeking a better life here. I don't think immigration should be merit-based only. I would support a system that allows not only legitimate asylum-seekers, but also people that just want a better life. Maybe that's a lottery, maybe there is a better way. I would support a guest worker program that allows some people to come and go legally. I'm not totally aligned with Trump on border issues, but I do think we need to enforce our borders and know who is coming and going. Other countries do so, but when the US does then we are horrible, apparently.
Also, I'd like people to recognize the genuine difficulty and nuance of the immigration matter, without going full blast and calling everyone monsters. There are significant numbers of adults traveling with children that they are not related to. There is some human trafficking going on. How do we protect children in those situations? Separation is sometimes appropriate.
I'm not on here arguing immigration law so chill out. It's as if you are taking your facebook feed anger and directing it at me now that you are on an anonymous board.
Sure, you are right here. We do have finite resources. Enforcement is a choice, but unless you are for open borders, the matter is more complicated and nuanced than just calling other people monsters. This article seems like a reasonable overview of the matter to me. You hate Trump already, so you seem to view everything he does in the worst possible, most sinister way.
But hey, it all appears to be okay when Democrats do it, though.
Clinton:
Obama:
Trump shouldn't have said that, but the Democrats are plenty guilty here. They just send their SEIU goons to do their dirty work for them and beat up republican protesters.
It's not an either or. Trump appears to making some progress with the VA, and has made more of an effort than his predecessor, but there is far more to do here. I do think the VA should be getting our best efforts.
One last thing. I come here in peace. You don't have to get ragey to convince / have a discussion with me.Comment
