Like what? You seem so convinced, so what’s the plan? Come on! They’ve had only like 10 years to think of alternatives.

1. Can you explain one of their ideas, and why it would work?

Except they don’t. Your post just proves that because you can’t even list anything because they have no plan. They definitely want to get rid of per-existing conditions.  Why lie, just admit what you stand for.  You want everything back the way it was and to roll back protections.

It’s true. The systems, the checks and balances,only work when everyone is acting in good faith. The GOP gave that up infavor of becomibg bad actors to score the W’s they have decided is their hill to die on. The liberal sides have to stop being afraid to engage. I wish civility and discourse were still a thing. But…

That is why the GOP is winning, they do not have to play by the rules, they can say anything they want and get away with it. I posted this early but it is stuck in the greys:

An easy way to get half of the energy you consume at home from green resources for free is to sign up with Arcadia Power. They even have an option to upgrade to 100% renewables (it’s about $4 bucks extra a month, depending on how much power you use). I’ve been using them for about two years now with no issues. The…

HAR HAR HAR! Hear that guys, he isn’t Jesus!? Haaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

There it is! The classic, “poor, unskilled, uneducated people” dog-whistle. We get it! You don’t think anyone skilled could possibly come from a brown nation, especially one south of the border. Nope, it’s only those leeches and parasites, amirite? Fuck you, you piece of trash, right wing fuck. I hope you go missing…

“We don’t need anymore poor uneducated people to come here. We have those in spades already.”

Jesus, get some fucking empathy. We have more than enough room here for more people, no matter what perceived burden you think they will be. Not accepting them is condemning them to a life of violence and/or death.

Of course they have the right to apply, and we have the right to reject them.

Every single one of these people will buy food, and will be taxed for the purchases. They will buy goods, which will again place taxes in our coffers. They will work jobs that bigoted and over-privileged Kinja posters will airily disregard as “beneath them” and, while doing so, CONTINUE TO PAY TAXES.

I don’t care about those countries financial situations. That’s their issue to deal with. And again we don’t have to take everyone in who shows up at the border.

Alright dude. I think you’re likely trolling here. Your answer is literally “I don’t care if it makes things worse for everyone, they can suck it.”

Or we could, you know, just try to funnel some money into our education system and a federal jobs guarantee program or something like it instead of infinite war and corporate tax cuts.

The irony of withholding aid to foreign countries that have asylum seekers heading our way is that is only will create more individuals who will try to make it to the USA.

When they arrive at the border and go through the proper means, they are doing it legally. In some cases they are turned away but the act of applying isn't illegal. This caravan is not illegal. 

I have been volunteering with Abuelas Responden (basically giving food and water and hygiene products and bags and socks and toys - all kinds of stuff - to the asylum seekers as they pass through our bus station). I really don’t know who has been separated or whatever as I see them but all I see is this: extremely…

Here’s a white woman so maybe you’ll listen to this.

Cool, cool. Martial law, no big deal.
