Uhm... Boston being the big example, but covid was spread by business man and CEOs, like the bio convention in Boston. I don’t think illegal immigration is who is globe trotting between China, Europe and US. The most likely reason an illegal would have covid, is because they are the ones doing the shit front line work. They are the ones getting sick cleaning the salon, after a successful protest demanding you get your hair did during a pandemic.
Edit: Remember when people claimed Trump was racist and xenophobic for his wall bullshit, because it completely ignores air travel? This is why... if Trump cared about the shit you just said, we would have screeners at airports, instead of impotent wall.
Edit 2: Anyone else think that a team working on pandemic response, is a more cost effective option, than trying to stop a virus with a wall? Is there anyone disinfecting the wall? Seems important... lol

Yes, there's always a reason to fear foreigners coming in your country. If it'snot a pandemic, it's jobs, or crime, or terrorism, or multiculturalism.
Here's the problem with Trumpsters, they are not conservatives... they are national socialists.
They oppose simple concepts like individual liberty, limited government, and the free markets... far more than Democrats and the left do.

Similar topic, but I watched something about ‘Ancient Aliens’ that I didn’t consider when binge watching it. The justification for aliens is almost always that dark people couldn’t possibly come up with things like irrigation. How could Egyptians, possibly accomplish all these feats by them selfs... must be aliens. How can Mayans have irrigation, before Europe? Obviously... aliens... Gun powder? aliens...
It’s so ingrained in conspiracy theory that leads to that sort of logic, that even benign and amusing conspiracy theories, have this unintended and largely circumstantial, racist undertones. I thought it was interesting in contrast to what illegals are supposed to represent and the assumption Trump’s immigration policy is predicated on.

Well, we see it Michigan and with all the reports of attacking nurses. It’s not a prediction at this moment... if Trump loses, their targets will be cops and medical professional. That’s what they have been doing in response to covid.

Your false narrative is fake news.
Wanting controlled borders and legal management of immigration is the sensible, correct approach.
It ensures the criminals stay out, and people can be quarantine controlled in times of pandemic.
To want open borders to let murderers, drug dealers and infection roam with riot is the same as advocating murderous ideaology.
In short, i am calling you a terrorist with murderous intentions because those are the policies that have your support.
Given that you believe all of that, do you still support Trump having closed, or virtually closed, all of the legal methods of immigration? Or are you going to say that's "fake news" as well, and hand-wave it away?
It's also amusing that you are arguing against open borders. Which literally nobody on any of the political sides in the US actually want. So are you against "fake news" or in favour of it, given that you're spreading it in this thread? Because whichever way you answer that question, you are a hypocrite and you're posting in bad faith.
I swear the standards of these people is dropping by the week. This one claims to be university educated from the UK and against immigration, but the structure of the language used suggests low education and English as a second language. Does he hate himself? Is he lying? Who knows, or indeed cares.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

So, does that mean all conservatives want open borders? Or, are you going to admit to being full of shit?
And yes, I love the idea of getting rid of burdensome and unnecessary laws that restrict freedom, instead of protecting it.


Exactly as i said.
You are supporting freedom of terrorism, freedom of drugs and human trafficking.
Your policies will lead to unnecessary murders and virus spreading.
It's no surprise more people support the wall than not.
Good job that it is being built.
Once it is finished, they would do well to incorporate digital monitoring into it aswell.
Additional security guards would be a great way to spend hard earned tax money.
Southern USA might be worth visiting once this has happened.
Probably a boost to the economy through increased tourism too.

It really will.
It limits physical ability to cross the border.
Add in security guards and digital monitoring and the numbers of illegal crossings dramatically drops.
Bit off topic, if you are interested in history i strongly suggest this podcast, https://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/ the free episodes are also available on Spotify.
This thread name change is full of shit. So it was ok for 2+ years and all of a sudden it's not?
