This thread could as well have been entitled >> "Liberals Ruin a Good Thing". Wow. Does this mean that I, protectionist, actually agree with some policies of liberals ? Well, yes it does. There are a few. As a conservative who was a liberal for 40 years, before becoming an independent in 2003 (and still voting for Kerry in 2004, and then Obama in 2008), and then a conservative in 2009,I still have a few liberal preferences.
Some friends of mine say >> "If you think that, you should be a Democrat." Well, I'm not. I'm a registered Republican, and a very conservative one, as well. so what is that keeps me firmly entrenched on the right, despite having some left issue preferences ?
It is the crazyiness of the left that keeps me away from it. The problem with the left is that it goes waaaay too far in some of the things it stands for. It is so bad that I have to abandon some of my rather lefty policies, which i still firmly support, and go to the right, and vote for Donald Trump (twice). I also voted for Virgil Goode in 2012, because I thought Romney wasn't conservative enough.
I doubt that this will even make a dent in liberals' mindsets and political persuasions, but here are the reasons I could go never back to them again, and how they ruin their own polity, making it unacceptable >>
1. Being globalist, advocating open borders, and flooding the US with millions of people from 3rd world hellholes.
2. Accepting Islam as a religion, and its imposition of immoral and illegal practices upon Americans, including terrorism in some cases.
3. Pandering to blacks to the point of discriminating against whites in Affirmative Action, and engaging in lawlessness.
4. Disrespecting the 2nd amendment and infringing on the right to carry a gun for self-defense.
5. Support of crazy sexual orientation policies.
There are more but I guess these are the basics. What a shame. To ruin good policies, and a whole political party, just to support these crazy ones.
Let's examine your bullet points:
1. False Claim. All American Citizen likely want a secure border. We don't feel arresting mothers and separating them from their children at the border increases our security.
Permitting illegals to enter at will and stay indicates that you people emphatically do not want secure borders.
2. Islam is a religion, and one which was recognized by the founding fathers in the 18th Century.
Jefferson studied the Koran and Islam to gain insights into the Barbary Pirates. He wasn't a fan.
3. Affirmative Action was a practice by government to recruit minorities, incl. women, into the workforce so that government agencies reflected the demographics of its population.
Protected and privileged classes are unconstitutional.
4. The claim that the 2nd A. allows anyone to own, possess or have in their custody and control is a fiction.
No one has claimed that, easily evidenced by the fact that felons lose their right to own firearms.
5. Sexual preferences among consenting adults do no harm. Crimes of rape, sexual assault of minors and adults are crimes, and in most states sex can only be consensual if the participant is 18 and older.
The more openly decadent the society, the more likely it is headed to destruction.
Liberals do not have have never permitted illegals to enter “at will”. This is a lie that Trump tells daily to frighten the feeble minded.
As for immigrants leaving “shithole” countries, do you have any idea how hard it is for them to get to the USA? It takes years to get a visa and to scrape together the money to do it, unless you’re wealthy. You have to be smart, hard working, resourceful and determined just to get here. Those are the kinds of qualities you want to see in your country’s citizens.
See, you FULLY support illegal immigration, was that so hard?
Nowhere in that post did I even suggest I supported illegal immigration. The first thing I said was “it takes years to get a visa and scrape together the money to get here”.
Pointing out the lies, errors and inconsistencies in your ignorant, hysterical and false posts about illegal immigration does not constitute support for illegal immigration.
Idiots like you keep repeating the lie that liberals support open borders. If we don’t support the ridiculous waste of money like the wall, if we think that deporting people who were brought here as children and which Americans have paid to educate, who have no criminal records, just as they reaching at an age and in a position to give back, pay taxes and contribute to the economy, which seems stupid to me, then we must be in favour of open borders.
There are other ways of dealing with immigrations than spending billionsvon a wall that won’t work, or deporting 12 million people which will reduce your GDP, increase the deficit, and create a recession.
Added to which, you cannot round up and deport 11 million people. It’s a physical impossibility. At this point in his presidency, Obama had actually deported more people than Trump.
For all of his bluster, and all of the money he’s wasted on interment camps and border patrols, Trump’s immigration policies aren’t working. The number of refugee claimants in increasing in spite of family separations and now your spending 200 million building internment camps. This is fiscal lunacy.
While Trump rails against family re-unification and makes false claims about how aunts, uncles cousins coming in through one immigrant, his wife’s parents were sworn in as US citizen. They’re old. What are they going to contribute, other than two more votes for Dumb Donald? They’ll use Medicare and other government service programs that they never worked for or contributed to. Chain migration at its finest.
Actually, I doubt they vote for Donnie. I wouldn’t vote for a man who treated my daughter so badly, humiliating her with his infidelities, and his lies. Their lawyer spoke out against Trumps immigration policies, saying that under Trumps proposed changed to immigration, his wife parents would qualify to come here.
Liberals do not have have never permitted illegals to enter “at will”. This is a lie that Trump tells daily to frighten the feeble minded.

The kinds of qualities I would like to see in immigrants, I have been posting here for 5 years. Here they are once again >>
1. Immigrants bringing needed and wanted skills and talents, such as great scientist or great violinist (although this would be rare)
2. Immigrants bringing large amounts of capital to open businesses and create jobs, (FOR AMERICANS) at good pay.
As for liberals (Democrats) permitting (and encouraging) illegals to enter the US....

...., they do that by voting for
amnesty, voting for (and maintaining)
sanctuary cities, opposing the
border wall, offering
welfare to illegals (and other nice things), and doing all they can to obstruct the deportation of these invaders/occupiers/pillagers, such as (of late) the ludicrous suggestion of abolishing ICE.
Their plan is to turn the US into a 3rd world hellhole, with all the dirtbags they bring in, offering nothing to the country, but VOTES for them (Democrats)
Rich white people will not be emigrating to the US. They’ve established themselves and made their money where they are. The USA offers NOTHING to first world Europeans.
Canadians, Scandinavian’s, Europeans are going to a country being torn apart by racism and ignorance, where only millionaires are getting decent health care, and their children get a substandard education. We all have better, cheaper healthcare where we are. As well as a better quality of life and a better standard of living.
As for business, your infrastructure is crumbling, no mandated vacations, no work life balance, no maternity leave. Health care premiums, already the most expensive in the world, are skyrocketing as Republicans systematically strangle Obamacare. Life expectancy is dropping you can’t fill the jobs you have now because your workers dont have the skills, the opioid crisis is killing thousands and the possibility of racial unrest isn’t far away.
If I were to leave Canada, I’d go to New Zealand, Switzerland, the Netherlands or Australia. The last place I would go is the shithole of the First World. That’s what right wing policies are doing have done to the US.
Instead of focusing on the very real problems of health care, infrastructure, and income inequity, you idiots are obsessed about illegal immigration.
You want to cut the number of people seeking asylum from Central America? Go down to Honduras and ElSavador and get rid of the narco terrorists gangs YOU created. MS13 is an American gang. You broke it, you fix it.
When people can live in safety and security in those countries, they’ll stay home too.
