How do these fucktards not understand that we need immigrants?
How many? All, or should you be selective? People with contagious diseases? People with criminal histories? Etc, etc. The issue is controlled immigration with safeguards against those, or open borders with no control?
Very few people are advocating open borders, and I haven't seen any politicians doing so. Why are you trying to get clarification on an issue that doesn't exist?
That is the sentence you had an issue with. Admit it.
More succinct questions would be: How many illegal border crossings with the intent to stay in the US permanently is an issue? 100k/month? 50k? 10k? None?

Asking any questions, discussing any part of an issue is bad. Do as you're told, or else we'll call you bad names.
Yeah the echo chamber / groupthink here is kinda not great. Hopefully it gets better as the platform grows

-- Welp
Racists gonna racist, I suppose... but did you need to shout it from the rooftops?
