  • 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.

thank you for proving my point - they are here illegally and if being paid without green card or social security number -they sure are not paying taxes and contributing to the services they get for free.

I'm 100% for legal immigration - the criminals - should make it right or go back.
I have it on good authority that no one can be called a criminal until after he has been caught, arrested, indicted, tried, convicted AND sentenced. And even then, some claim the convict cannot be considered a criminal until and unless all his appeals have been denied. Presumption of innocent, and all that. Or does that not apply to this class of people?

I have it on good authority that your good authority is not so good and the argument doesn’t hold water.

Their guilt is in their name. ILLEGAL Aliens.

That's not what I was told - to be a criminal, one must be convicted and sentenced and all appeals denied. Otherwise there is a presumption of innocence.

How do you determine that someone is an ILLEGAL Alien until he has been tried and convicted? Does the presumption of innocence only apply to certain individuals? I've suspected that for a while now...

A MAGA ‘Civil War’ on X between Musk and the far right over H-1B visas

Vivek Ramaswamy Says America Doesn’t Have Enough Engineers Because We Mocked Steve Urkel

Dinesh D’Souza Declares ‘There Are Good and Bad Indians’: ‘I’m Obviously One of the Good Ones’

D’Souza made his declaration just a few days after President-elect Donald Trumpselected Sriram Krishnan to serve as senior White House policy advisor on artificial intelligence. Krishnan’s elevation sparked a backlash from the far right, which has targeted Krishnan for his race and views on immigration.

Tucker’s ‘[Poop]show’: Pardoned Convicted Felon Dinesh D’Souza Warns of ‘Mass Desertions’ of Minorities From the GOP Following Racist Attacks on Ramaswamy

Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate running as a Republican for governor of Ohio, posted a Halloween photo of himself and his two sons on Friday. The post received a wave of xenophobic and racist replies, including one user who wrote, “I see this year Vivek went as an H1B immigrant here to steal your jobs. Very scary. Like the brown version of the Grinch.”

“Look at the abuse Vivek is getting for posting an innocuous photo with his boys. This is the [poop]show that Heritage and Tucker have brought upon us. If this continues, I would not be surprised to see mass desertions of blacks, Latinos and other minorities from the GOP. Unreal,” wrote D’Souza.

Vivek and Dinesh are some of the 'good ones', guys! Lay off!

I wonder how many of the negative posters were liberals just trolling.

I actually have no problem with bring in highly skilled immigrants. As long as they are deep vetted and are actually wanting to help America and not tear it down. We don't need anymore anti-Americans. I honestly don't know enough about the tech industry to say if there is a shortage of highly skilled Americans.

This actually would apply to non-tech work as well. If there honestly is a shortage of American workers then I have no problems with bringing in highly vetted people to work and as long as they are good people, are here legally, are not anti-American or using America as a benefit state (taking advantage of government programs like SNAP or medicaid etc.) then I am happy to have them. Being here legally would benefit them as well with higher wages.

To be fair, in a rare moment of lucidity, Trump wants to charge $100K for visas for highly skilled foreign workers.

That's better than ensuring enough skilled citizens are available. Now everyone can not work and not vote!
