  • 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.

Let's be logical. A family lives in an area with 10 rapists in a one-mile radius--five undocumented immigrants, five native-born Americans. The crime was not "preventable" because there are other rapists.
Candidate Trump played on scapegoating and fears. To his discredit, he created millions of xenophobes convinced they will not be safe unless we deport every immigrant we can find. I do not blame these misled people. They were manipulated by someone who knows little about governing, but quite a bit about media.
It is a terrible thing to create racists out of basically good frightened people through manipulating the stats and their emotions.

If the illegal immigrant did it, it absolutely was preventable. He shouldn’t have been in the country.
What you’re saying is “Well if the illegal alien wasn’t here to rape someone then someone else would have raped them anyway “
That doesn’t say much for rape victims

I am saying that you won't solve the crime problem by indiscriminately scapegoating millions of people and acting as if that will solve the problem of crime.
But fanning the flames of hatred gets votes. Who cares it's not true?

Why do you defend illegal entry and encourage open borders Fantine? Do you believe America or any country shouldn't have sovereignty to control people who come and go?
