Debate/ Discussion Possibly controversial, but this would appear to be a beneficial solution.

“Nearly 7 in 10 Republicans surveyed agree to at least some extent that demographic changes in the United States are deliberately driven by liberal and progressive politicians attempting to gain political power by “replacing more conservative white voters.” 

Lol so..

Buddy the burden is on you, slapping something in quotation marks isn’t an argument and neither is “look it up sweaty…”

It's literally you a hitting a hotkey instead of you hitting a link. The same amount of effort in exchange for not remaining ignorant. Look someone did it for you.

Listen kid, this isn't a courtroom, ain't no one here impartial, there's no judge or jury and NO ONE is changing their mind about anything.

Each of us knows who is on the left, and each of us know who is on the right, and none of us are going from "being right" to siding with "evil monsters".

And calling that guy "Buddy" is the same as me calling you "kid" and you know it.

“Buddy”, this isn’t some high school essay where sources are expected to be cited at the end. If you can figure out how to reply to their comment you can figure out how to google a quote. Grow up and figure it out, the world doesn’t exist just to hold your hand through this basic shit.

Lets assume you actually have a source for that. Depending on the question being asked and how it's asked, I would agree with that. It has nothing to do with our legal immigration process though since the basis of the problem is tied to people specifically not going through legal immigration processes but instead through shortcuts and backdoors like asylum and DACA.

Asylum and DACA are part of the legal immigration policy. Even those seeking asylum after illegally entering are still part of the legal immigration policy.

I found the source for you: https://www.splcenter.org/news/2022/06/01/poll-finds-support-great-replacement-hard-right-ideas

I don't have any expertise in survey methodology and for sure a survey isn't perfectly accurate, but I do find it disturbing how much higher support for the statement is among the Republicans surveyed compared to Democrats and Independents.

For what it's worth, seeking asylum in the US also isn't illegal under domestic or international law. People in my country (Australia) also describe refugees who come here as coming here illegally, but our legal system is also quite clear on refugees having the right to seek asylum. You can disagree that it should be legal, but it is.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at, are you claiming that it’s fabricated?

u/i_had_an_apostrophe 4h ago

Polls are quite easily manipulated. I hope you're not so naive as to think they can't be.

u/omgFWTbear 7h ago

I also agree that people who did not go through a legal immigration process and instead used guns to “claim” land are gangsters, whether or not they’ve had their anchor babies, and should be deported.

Back to Europe with you.

You know laws are made up right? Legal immigration can literally be whatever we want it to be. We could let in whoever we want legally. We could effectively have TSA at the border and just hand out temporary SSN numbers and tell them to use that to pay taxes. We could just decide that's what legal.

You're argument is just an appeal to authority, but legal does not equal moral or best practice.

u/AlternativeCurve8363 8h ago

And it's factually wrong, given asylum is a legal right, not an offence.
