Why is "MAGA" offensive?

[Colter]

Oh, they are not calling for open borders. They just want the door to be unlocked, left unattended, and a sign to advertise that all are welcome.

yea, why didn't I just say that??

 

[Colter]

"All are welcome"?! Horrors! Anything but that!

What if all those illegal aliens were wearing MAGA hats and would likely vote (R) ??????
"Suddenly" the (D)'s would have like, a spiritual awakening, a psychic change, a mass enlightenment! "OHHHHHHH now we understand, we are a nation....with a border....with an immigration law.....with requirements for citizenship....why didn't you (R)'s just say that"??????

You already think that,

Pump the brakes there kiddo...I don't think it, I know it... it happened.

Farrakhan supporters plan White House protest in test of mainstream black leaders

Black Lives Matter, Al Sharpton, Colin Kaepernick....they all stood arm in arm in support of Louis Farrakhan and next to other racist hate groups.

That happened.

You know Farrakhan, right? He preaches hatred and death to jews and whites...because they're evil. The New Black Panther Party was there to help out. Let's look at what our friends at the SPLC have to say about them...

New Black Panther Party

"The New Black Panther Party is a virulently racist and antisemitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers."

That's about the nicest thing I can say about the New Black Panthers...they're a racist hate group. Black Lives Matter has no problem working with them, neither does Sharpton, neither does Kaepernick. They'll all work together to stand up for other racist hate groups.

For the record. This tread is officially derailed. OP has been answered long ago and every derogatory comment made towards Trump supporters only validates that answer. Thank you all. Now feel free to continue your peaceful and respectful dialogue. Oh yes. Just a reminder on the site wide rules on goading.

Flaming and Goading

• Please treat all members with respect and courtesy through civil dialogue.
• Do not personally attack (insult, belittle, mock, ridicule) other members or groups of members on CF. Address only the content of the post and not the poster.
• NO Goading. This includes images, cartoons, smileys or post ratings which are clearly meant to goad. Quoting and then editing another members post to change the original meaning, commonly referred to as "fixed it for you" (FIFY), is considered goading.
• "Calling out" a member is an unsolicited comment about another member in reference to something they may have said, their personal beliefs, their signature, or their avatar (challenging the member in a negative manner). This applies to any thread, whether the called out member is participating in that thread or not. Do not quote, or make comments about another member, in your signature or user title.
• Offensive derogatory nicknames and egregious inflammatory comments about public figures may be considered goading.
• Stating or implying that another Christian member, or group of members, are not Christian is not allowed.
• If you are flamed, do not respond in-kind. Alert staff to the situation by utilizing the report button.

Yes, it does say that "offensive derogatory nicknames and egregious inflammatory comments about public figures may be considered goading". And last I checked, President Trump is a "public figure". I would hate to see anymore people have any moderator actions placed on them for making "egregious inflammatory" comments about President Trump.

Okay, you're right. Dems are not calling for open borders. They just want to leave the door unlocked, unattended, and an advertisement that all are welcome. Thank you.

I'm assuming you're going to abandon this open border canard and simply going back to, "Democrats are weak on the border"? That's alright, we're used to hearing that claim.

Unlike the Republican Party, the Democratic Party does not resort to disenfranchisement efforts to prevent people that might not support them from voting (as evidenced by moves like preventing polling places from being on college campuses, proposing to close polling locations in black areas, demanding voter ID while limiting or closing the centers to obtain them, and other actions designed to prevent racial minorities and young people from voting). Democrats do not have to resort to these tactics because time is on their side, thus the reactionary vote that brought in a president like Donald Trump will gain less power as the years go on. The thing about this racist monument/wall is that the Republican Party is also attempting to curtail immigration in general, so they just don't like immigrants whether they come here legally or illegally.

 

[SummerMadness]

Absolutely. You are correct. How could I have been so foolish to think that removing border security, refusing to enforce immigration laws, and telling the whole world that all are welcome is the same as open borders.

Well saying Democrats want open borders is a lie, the latter is the usual hyperbole heard from Republicans. It's also not true, but at least it's not an attempt to argue that people are saying something they didn't say, which is plain false. It also stands to say that reforming immigration policy is not the same thing as open borders, but I assume open border is just another way of saying, "Since you don't follow my way of thinking, yo want open borders."

Cummings Issues Statement on IG Report on Trump Administration Child Separation Policy

How the Feds Failed to Track Thousands of Separated Children

Has a link to the internal draft:
Merkley releases document showing Trump admin weighed targeting migrant families, speeding up deportation of children


Video:
Internal report exposes extent of Trump child separation policy

You do realize that none of your links actually show a child separation policy.

That's all I'm asking for....just give me a link to the words actually in the policy so that I can see it's about separating children.

Folks, stick to the topic and do not post about each other. ​

 

[Hank77]

What exactly do we gain by taking care of people from so called "anal countries" for the rest of their lives?

I don't see how not wanting uneducated, poor, people with multiple children in your nation could be "racist".

The DACA brown kids are not uneducated people with multiple children.

 

[SummerMadness]

The DACA brown kids are not uneducated people with multiple children.

There is also that bullhorn for characterizing those brown people bringing in their multiple children because that's the main fair, the loss of an absolute majority.

 

[Colter]

Maybe the (D)'s on this board should state just exactly what their position is on Illegal Immigration? They seem to dance all around the issue.

 

[Gigimo]

What a bizarre response because I was referring to President Clinton and Senators don't have anything to do with doing business in New York state.

Oh, so they don't have any friends in business that's nice to know.

You may want to tell Trump he really doesn't know the Clintons and vice versa.

BTW didn't Harry Reid funnel money to one of his business friends when he was a Senator? Oh wait, I almost forgot he started that practice when he was the gaming commissioner of Nevada and carried it forward to DC, Harry was such a bad boy tsk, tsk, tsk...

Now that the "open border" smear is over, this is an attempt to shift the blame in another way. I think it'd probably not hard to find the position that most Democratic supporters are behind, but maybe there is no position, it's not like there was a plan the president walked away from in exchange for his wall last year...

 

[Ana the Ist]

We're talking about illegal immigrants....

Those coming from central American nations are largely uneducated and poor. That's not racist...that's a fact. You're telling me that after I pay for their kid's education, they aren't uneducated....well la di da.

Would you like to try having an honest conversation about this or not?

 

[Radagast]

You're telling me that after I pay for their kid's education, they aren't uneducated....

I think that the point is that, being educated, the DACA kids are potentially an asset to the nation (depending on how educated they really are).

No I don't want to have a conversation with you.

Simple question.

Why was this Okay, and this is offensive?
