    You can both be vehemently anti-immigration and pro minority rights at the same time. It’s mental gymnastics at its core, I agree, but it exists.

    Very few people hold a cohesive worldview that holds up against total scrutiny, and the one’s who do probably spend too much time inside their heads convinced of their own sanctity.

      I’m so strongly opposed to illegal immigration that I think we should just open the borders and let folks come and go as they please.

        I’m so strongly opposed to illegals undercutting the working class in this country, that I think we should give them all passports so that they’re legally entitled to minimum wage and thus offer no competitive advantage to greedy employers

            I agree, hence why I suggest giving them passports the moment they touch soil

              Missed the point completely.

              They may be “undocumented immigrants,” or even “illegal immigrants” (and that’s borderline).

              But “illegals” is dehumanizing.

                oh sorry it was not my intent to dehumanize them. I thought illegals was a valid contraction of illegal migrants
