And you have decided, without a shred of evidence, that whining and tears is all she does. Perhaps she is politically active in the immigration debate, or perhaps she will become so because of this election. Personally, I see that as a good thing, because our immigration system is dysfunctional. It's hard to see what change could be anything but an improvement.
I decided that was what she was doing now which was easy because she was doing it on live TV. She was a high school student skipping class to shed tears on camera that her friends and family who have committed crimes under the immigration laws would have that activity called to justice. I encourage her to get involved in effecting change if she wants change.
Yet you reserve your contempt for those who want illegals to be able to stay. You don't have an expression for your contempt for the bellowing fools on the other side of the debate, because you don't have contempt for bellowing fools on the other side of the debate.
People who wish to uphold the law as it stands are not bellowing fools. There are certainly some ideas from anti-immigration supporters which are ludicrous and wrong but are not presently part of the immigration law and I have contempt for those exclusionary ideals and the people who believe in them.
Perhaps, but as I said, you don't know that she isn't doing that, or won't do that. And I recollect a time when "crying in the street" worked some pretty profound change in our society. Do you consider Martin Luther King a "SJW?"
MLK was seeking equal rights for American citizens which is quite different from seeking special rights for people who have committed crimes to illegally enter the country and are not citizens.
The best reason is that any process for deporting them, regardless of how well designed or callously indifferent to their humanity, would be ferociously expensive, on the order of hundreds of billions. Oddly, the Obama administration deported more illegals per year than the Bush or Clinton administrations. Yet Obama got no credit for that, and indeed was considered soft on illegals. And, horror of horrors, he prioritized deporting illegals who had committed crimes, knowing that he couldn't deport more than maybe 500,000 a year or so. But you prefer a blowhard with a promise and no plan, and express your contempt for anybody who considers anything but the "lock 'em up and ship 'em out" solution.
There was no problem spending trillions to invade foreign sovereign nations without just cause or ensure international bankers got their bonuses but spending a few billion or more to uphold the law within your own borders is wrong? Doesn't make logical sense to me but it's your country.
Heck, I got a better solution than that, and it took me about 20 seconds to come up with it. But I'm sure you consider me an SJW, and would rather sneer at me than hear what it is, so I won't bother.
You don't whine and cry to get your own way so no I do not consider you a SJW. I respect your honesty and intelligence and would like to hear your idea though it would be more productive to take that idea to those making policy in your country.
Being a discourteous churl and refusing to listen ain't a sign of strength, Nick. And standing on a moral principle rather than looking for a practical solution ain't a sign of smarts.
I will listen to your idea. I won't listen to someone crying that the criminals in their family are going to be deported for being criminals. If they had followed the law to begin with they wouldn't be in a position to be deported.
Practical may be easy but sometimes it isn't the right thing and morals have to take precedent. A practical solution to prison overcrowding is to release prisoners but I wouldn't want murderers and rapists let out no matter how practical it may look on the surface.
Some excellent golf too!
I'm sure there is, and anybody who would throw themselves down a mountainside has my blessing. Think of it as evolution in action.
It's more of a controlled falling than tossing yourself of the side. LOL
Humans,
We will kill two of you every year until you stop logging!
