CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I wasn't talking about you; I replied to d taylor's post.
You just jumped in and told me that was a horrible thing to say - presumably without carefully reading the post I was replying to.
My apologies.

Why do people hate ICE...
- American Politics
- 364 Replies
Fair; I misspoke - I intended to reiterate my previous post, where I said that there were no significant protests against ICE. Because we've been talking about deportations. Some of Trump's immigration policies were protested during his first term (again, largely because of his rhetoric on them), but I don't recall any that had to do with deportations, so again, your hypothesis that it was okay for a young black man to deport people but not an old white man doesn't appear to have any basis in reality.The part I bolded would be a bit of a stretch.
I can't be the only one who remembers all the bickering and protesting about "The Wall", family separation at the border, "kids in cages" photo ops, and his executive order that progressives branded as the "Muslim Ban"
And some of those protests were pretty noteworthy in size.
30,000 New Yorkers March to End Refugee & Muslim Ban - NYC, Long Island, New York State | New York Immigration Coalition - Revision
At least 30,000 New Yorkers - including immigrants, refugees, Muslims and allies - gathered in Battery Park City across from the Statue of Liberty to demand that Trump rescind his recent executive orders and end all hateful policies. You can see photos here. They then marched to Foley Square...www.nyic.org
Tens of thousands rallied for Families Belong Together
SAN FRANCISCO – An estimated 20,000 demonstrators gathered at City Hall in San Francisco June 30 for a massive Families Belong Together march and rally, demanding an end to the Trump administration’s harsh policies of family separation and detention and its failure to reunite thousands of famili...www.peoplesworld.org
WaPo estimates that 400,000 people participated in those various protests about his first-term immigration policies.
What threshold are we using to quantify "significant"?

The following is a very common sentiment that I heard many progressives promote. It’s a very common sentiment that permeates the far left side if the Democratic Party.
“The truth is that MAGA is right about Democrats and open borders. The deepest values any true Democrat holds point ineluctably toward open borders and freedom of movement for all people. We as Democrats must stop cringing from this core truth, and we must stop kowtowing to anti-immigrant rhetoric that only serves reactionary causes. Only an open border is consistent with freedom, democratic government, diversity, and racial justice.”
Democracy Demands Open Borders

The Schumer Shutdown

What on Earth does this have to do with anything?
White House reveals illegal migrants who received Medicaid as shutdown over healthcare drags on
The White House revealed 49 migrants who committed crimes like murder, rape and assault who received Medicaid.www.foxnews.com
S9 America shouldn't have a first world healthcare system that's covers everyone at half the cost (saving your debt!) ... just because... Immigrants!
Can you even begin to perceive how petty carping and racist that sounds to people outside the USA where universal healthcare is a right?
Are you really saying that 40 something baddies disqualifies the bottom 16 million Americans from healthcare?
That Trump should reward his billionaire mates with tax cuts while kicking the bottom 16 million Americans off healthcare to afford it?
How is this even remotely a Christian policy, a compassionate policy, a policy that treats other human beings as made in the image of God?
What you are looking at is government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.
Didn't you know that's what BBB stood for?
