Gonna be a lot of sad to go around when a Democrat in the White House looks around and sees emergencies everywhere.
And that's the difference between liberals and conservatives. You are trying to exploit this for future political gain instead of fixing the problem. I'm not saying you are wrong because we know that's exactly what the Dems will do but the title of this thread is hilarious. You are more worried about the 'talk' or terminology of this crisis instead of the actual crisis.

Speeders very seldom murder cops. Kind of a big difference there ...


Undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit a crime than citizens. If reducing cop murders is really your concern, then statistically speaking, you should concentrate citizens, first.

Also, it has literally never been safer to be a human being on earth in the history of the world.

Wrong. Mixing illegals with legit immigrants does not suddenly make illegals 'good citizens'.

Stop hating cops, 'k?


Um. What?
Pretending police are safe allowing illegals in here is hating cops. Pretty basic, that.


Lol... what? You been drinking?

Is ignoring empirical data because the people are brown racist?
I pay attention to police funerals. I note who murdered them.

False-conclusion push polls and studies are no comfort to widows.


Ah. The "fake news" argument. Gotcha.

It is amazing the lengths some will allow their tribalism to push them to avoid having to reconcile facts that contradict beliefs.

I have no doubt you pay attention to police funerals. I just wish you'd give non anecdotal information the same attention.

As opposed to using a created problem to fix one that mostly existed years ago?

Interesting take.

You *******s on here feel good about making my generation pay for 2000+ new illegal immigrants coming through this country every ****ing day?

**** you guys. I'm going to have to live through a major depression at some point in my life while y'all will be dead having never experienced the hardships I will absolutely go through.


Um... guys. He's cursing.

Old bear and DC are going to be like, SO MAD, dude.


chuckle

OK rep point coming your way for the humor..

But Doc is most likely correct. Only a fool would believe the United States could employ, educate and provide the social services required ......

for the 10's of millions of impoverished central and South Americans who would most certainly immigrate here if allowed to do so .


With respect, the number coming has been dropping to the current point being the lowest in decades. We actually have a SHORTAGE of workers willing to do the jobs they do that fulfill REAL need for our economy.

This idea that "we can't handle them" is without basis in fact.
From NYTimes

Border at 'Breaking Point' as More than 76,000 Migrants Cross in a Month


The number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has once again broken records, with unauthorized entries nearly doubling what they were a year ago, suggesting that the Trump administration's aggressive policies have not discouraged new migration to the United States.
More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, an 11-year highand a strong sign that stepped-up prosecutions, new controls on asylum and harsher detention policies have not reversed what remains a powerful lure for thousands of families fleeing violence and poverty.
"The system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point," Kevin K. McAleenan, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told reporters in announcing the new data on Tuesday.
The nation's top border enforcement officer painted a picture of processing centers filled to capacity, border agents struggling to meet medical needs and thousands of exhausted members of migrant families crammed into a detention system that was not built to house them all while newcomers continue to arrive, sometimes by the busload, at the rate of 2,200 a day.
That is largely a function of policy decisions. It is a crisis only because this administration decided to create one.You

Add more immigration judges. Move personnel from checkpoints well inside the birder. Revive the Bracero program.
I don't disagree, but that doesn't diminish the threat.

Correcting policy, adding judges and reviving the Bracero program will take months/years.

Seriously?

Listen, just because you post something you like,

1 - does not obligate anyone to read it,
2- does not mean it's true just because you like it

Polls are opinion snapshots, and are subject to a lot of variance. How questions are worded, in what order and in relation to what person all matter, and that does not even touch the demographics used. Most polls focus on urban areas, because that's the easiest way to get a lot of responses, but such polls are often garbage for reliability. The whole reason both Trump and Clinton used their own internal poll groups, was because they knew the media-supported polls were not reliable.

Illegals murder cops. That's a fact.

Sucks for you but denying does not make you look smarter.

Every LEO I know wants illegals caught and taken off the street. It's not because they are 'racist' or any of that kind of crap, but because cops know illegals get involved in gangs and commit violent crimes.

And terminology matters: this is not a crisis of drugs, or crime, refugees. It is a policy cluster****. A wall or nothing approach misses the point.

What do you not understand about both parties unifying in lock step to perpetuate illegal immigration?

Your solutions are NEVER going to be considered. They're not realistic with an elite class of corrupt politicians doing everything they can to create problems so they can acquire power and money.

This is the world we live in. Your solution might work...but you don't understand what the fight really is about.

As I said, it is a policy cluster****, not a crisis. And the wall makes it worse. There are solutions, but your party wants nothing to do with them. Just look at what happened in the last Congress: immigration reform came forward via thre different bills. Trump flirted with each of them and then stood them all up at the altar. He created the appearance of a crisis. For votes. Real, American votes. How cynical and ... sad!

My party does not stand to gain votes from undocumented workers.

You are more worried about the 'talk' or terminology of this crisis instead of the actual crisis.
I, and the LP, have proposed solutions that will work.

And terminology matters: this is not a crisis of drugs, or crime, refugees. It is a policy cluster****. A wall or nothing approach misses the point.
Did you just say this isn't a crime of drugs or crime or refugees? What is it a crisis of then?
Law enforcement. As in, Trump insists on actually doing it.
That's not actually true. If it were he would enforce the law where it would do the most good: on employers.

Doc Holliday said:

1,000,000 invaders in a single year, most of whom get to stay (catch-and-release), is more than the population of six states (Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, Vermont, Wyoming).

How can anyone believe this isn't a HUGE problem?!
Start by changing from "invaders" to "workers". Problem shrinks to statistical insignificance. Anecdotal crises, but statistical insignificance.
