> and will shortly have in Texas. Democrats have been dreaming of “turning Texas blue” for years now, but I’m sceptical that will ever happen. The GOP-and Trump in particular-has been making big inroads with Hispanic Texans.

> The is obviously nonsense. Which part is the nonsense part of what I said? > Biden actually apologized for deporting illegals Where? I can find no such record. I do see him regretting using the word "illegals" instead of "undocumented". See e.g. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-regrets-using-illegal... > Democrats (or, at least, democrat leadership) support illegal immigration because they want a demographically-guaranteed majority in the US 1. This makes no sense. Only citizens can vote, and so no number of undocumented immigrants in the country can affect an election outcome. 2. Democrats don't support illegal immigration as such. However, they do recognize the complexities of the labor force and the practical reality that undocumented immigrants do a lot of unskilled labor from agriculture to janitorial services, and thus tough enforcement of the laws and removing them all would have serious adverse consequences to our economy. They have tried to boost legal immigration but have been stonewalled. > Anyone who says they don't understand this is a liar or a naif. Personal attacks aren't permitted here. People are entitled to have reasonable disagreements. |
