California is also in the middle of a homeless crisis......

http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-housing-crisis-20180330-story.html

Unchecked illegal immigration has huge consequences half of the people fail to even acknowledge.  If you can't have an honest conversation and include all factors without resorting to emotional antidotes and name calling, then you get where we are now.

California's sanctuary state has demolished their middle class, but the 1% feel altruistic when they are able to create more new "Americans" through open borders while not giving two shits about the middle class.

 

So do you still believe there are no real costs, or is it just completely irresponsible government from the Democrats in California eliminating the middle class and increasing the homeless population exponentially?

I get that some folks feel illegal immigrants are SPOOKY these days. Please note that Trumpism has embraced immigration as an emotional wedge issue to divide our country. Putin did the same thing in his country concerning homosexuals, immigrants, and ethnic minorities. 

First, Trump is pushing the republican party to not just be on a war footing against illegal immigrants but also against legal immigrants. Trumpism is against ALL immigrants.

Second, our country is a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants.  This is who we are. This is our history.  

Third, everyone wants to enforce our immigration laws and all sides feel that our immigration system needs massive reform. There is lots to debate on this issue.

However, I understand that you are concerned by the potential economic impact by illegal immigrants. I hope that this is a legitimate concern for you and not just an emotional appeal to tribalism. 

You provided sources showing that California has a high homeless population and a high level of out-migration. I'm not sure how that is relevant.

President Donald Trump said Friday he “certainly won’t sign the more moderate” of two immigration bills going before the House next week ― even though it’s right out of his playbook. 

The president shot down the “compromise” proposal a day after House Republicans began to circulate a draft immigration bill that would give some protections to young undocumented immigrants in exchange for a massive increase in border security spending and a large-scale rollback of protections for asylum seekers and unaccompanied child migrants.

Trump and Sessions separated 2,000 children from their parents in only a six-week period from mid-April to May:

 

WASHINGTON — Nearly 2,000 children have been separated from their families at the U.S. border over a six-week period during a crackdown on illegal entries, according to Department of Homeland Security figures obtained Friday by The Associated Press.

The figures show that 1,995 minors were separated from 1,940 adults from April 19 through May 31. The separations were not broken down by age, and included separations for illegal entry, immigration violations or possible criminal conduct by the adult.

Under a “zero tolerance” policy announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Department of Homeland Security officials are now referring all cases of illegal entry for criminal prosecution. U.S. protocol prohibits detaining children with their parents because the children are not charged with a crime and the parents are.

Sessions announced the effort April 6, and Homeland Security began stepping up referrals in early May, effectively putting the policy into action.

This is a lie.  Bald-faced, bubbling bullshit.  This is yet another example of the disingenuous platitude the left keeps trying to trot out that if you are against illegal immigration you are a bigot, racist, and anti all immigration. 

Quote

everyone wants to enforce our immigration laws

Do you even sanctuary city?  Did you just happen to forget, say recently the Oakland Mayor tipping off illegal immigrants about impending ICE raids?  More than 200 jurisdictions refusing to honor ICE detainer requests brought against individuals charged or convicted of a serious crime.  Not even a decade removed we had Dem leaders openly admitting that low skilled immigrants depressed wages of low-skilled US works....and more importantly, strained America's welfare state.  10 years ago, many Democrats — including, notably, Schumer — would have championed many of the Trump administration’s enforcement proposals, from increased local cooperation with immigration enforcement to a physical barrier on the US/Mexico borderWhy the pivot?  Votes.  This is 100% about votes.  They made the calculations that this gave them an edge in the electoral college.  Remember all that "the GOP is doomed to 40 years of wandering in the desert" bullshit?

What should we do?  Open borders?

Because there are a shitload of border jumpers.  Go fly any ranch near the border.

And I can tell you the obvious signs of illegals has exploded in the last 10 years.  Makeshift camps and abandoned backpacks and clothes are everywhere now.  It wasn’t that way 25 years ago.  

[ChickenSandwich 9849]

Reducing legal immigrants is a logical response when states are refusing to enforce the laws on the books. 

The responisble thing would be to reduce the number 1 to 1 for every “new American” born to foreign parents. 

Increased competion for education, labor, police, health care etc etc - all at the lowest economic level. As Clinton so eloquently pointed out. The people Championing open borders have no skin in this game. Their standard of living will be unchanged while the permantly lock the glass ceiling into place for the lower economic classes. 

Creating a permanent dependent class of individuals tied to your handouts is a terrible strategy for Americans but good for votes for the left.

FANTASTIC straw man.  Oh, and it's so original!  I LOVE that there are only two options -- be a fucking Trumpkin, or be for "OPEN BORDERS!!!!!"

I've posted my proposal a dozen times on the old board, I won't rehash it all here.  Short version: robust border enforcement (including enforcement against employers), a reasonable "guest worker" program with fees and electronic tracking, and measures to ensure proper payment of taxes (note that this discourages whole-family migration -- instead, you come, you work, you go home and visit, maybe you come work again, but because you can RETURN home freely and then come back here, you don't need to bring your whole family with you), etc.

You buried the lede.  Trumpkins have told us -- literally for years -- that they only had a problem with illegal immigration. Now, they've made it 100% clear that they have a problem with LEGAL immigration as well.  You don't fucking LIE about something unless you're ashamed of the truth.  And Trumpkins (used to be) ashamed of that truth.  Now, they are proud of it.

Well, you made an excellent point. I think the analogy is a little strained, but it's a good one. I'd still like to try. Addicts and drug abusers, particularly the ones who get arrested, often have nothing to lose. Business owners and employers have a lot to lose. Prosecution might be more of a deterrent for them.

I agree with your use of "trumpkin." It is a very important distinction. Their anti-immigrant positions are not held by conservatives or traditional republicans.  See the CATO institute, the Bushes, McCain, McConnell, Romney, and Ryan.  The core conservative actors all support immigration. They know how valuable immigration is to our industries and economy.

The alt-right, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and Steve Miller wing of the party are leading the charge against immigrant for the trumpkins.  

Racism applies. Xenophobia and nativism may be more accurate.

The MS-13 stories, stories of crimes by "illegals," and false and overblown economic impact stories are all obvious propaganda trying to tap into nativism.  Fox news is full of this. 

Humans evolved into families and tribes so these urges can be very strong. Unfortunately, the biggest counter to nativism and xenophobia are education, life experiences with new people, and traveling to new places. This is why the republican party is susceptible.

And let's Google "democratic party reaction to Elian Gonzalez", shall we?  Lets.

All of these are from contemporaneous sources.

Quote

In Union City, New Jersey, home of the second-largest Cuban-American community in the U.S., Rep. Robert Menendez, D-NJ, decried what he called a despicable use of force.

"To take a child out at gunpoint in the middle of the night, awakened in his sleep, with masks on, reminds me of the tactics of Castro's dictatorship," said Menendez, a frequent critic of the Cuban leader who had been involved in negotiations to peacefully reunite Elian with his father.

Quote

The American public remains convinced that Elian Gonzalez, the six-year-old Cuban boy who is caught in an international tug-of-war between the U.S. and Cuba, should be returned to his father in Cuba. Not only do Americans agree with the Justice Department decision to return him, a majority also think it is in the best interest of the boy that he return. Only 31% of Americans say that a decision on his return should be delayed until after a family custody hearing, and fewer than four in 10 favor a Congressional law that would grant him permanent residency status in the U.S.

Quote

The venom between the parties has poisoned the atmosphere in Washington and further soured the public on the political process.

Once again we confront a situation in which a large majority of Americans parts company with the majority leadership in Congress. Most people view the Elian Gonzalez melodrama through distinctly nonpolitical lenses. While sympathetic with the feelings of his Miami family, they believe the 6-year-old boy belongs with his father.

They are offended that political agendas intrude on what they view as largely a personal, family matter. They are also weary of a story that seemed to have had no end in sight, and relieved that Attorney General Reno took decisive action to end the standoff with no injury. And they are sickened by the transparently partisan and ideological broadside against her and others who took responsibility for returning Elian to his father.

Quote

"Republicans are better off not paying too much attention to it," says Sal Russo, a GOP consultant in California. "Most Americans see this as a family issue, unhappy with the way it proceeded but happy with reuniting the boy and his father."

And since the Elian deal was actually about REUNITING a family and not ripping one apart - which is what is currently happening - your cute little hot take meme is breathtakingly stupid and shallow.
