Leftists, repost with your most Right wing opinions Right wingers, repost with your most Leftist opinionsyeah as a leftist i do understand the worry conservatives have about illegal immigration, and specifically large scale immigration without the infrastructure to help people settle. my hard line is on how we actually treat folks, and whether we have respect for everyone’s humanity and rights
The kindness part includes tolerating their and making the immigration process streamlined and fair so that the people who need to leave their country can. There’s a concern about infrastructure (like look at our education system, damn!) but in that case we should be investing in infrastructure, not violently deporting people back to where they came from.
The problem is we tried that already. We were lenient and we let people come in and stay. Then, the Democrats came in and completely abused it for their own political gain. So unfortunately we can no longer afford to be lenient, especially when the Democrats are just going to reverse everything back again if they win in 2028. We have to preemptively prepare for it now while they’ve lost the White House
