Opinion Kamala tells illegal immigrants DO NOT COME. Is this racist?

[IamStryker]

I'm trying to understand the rules here. If conservatives argue for a strong border or for legal immigration its racist right? So did the rules change or is Kamala a racist now?

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

So the Dems don't want mass illegal immigration and are trying to cure the root causes of it.

Good to know

 

[Confucamus]

Why don't they get to? Everybody else Kamala blew got to.

 

[Natural Order]

Seems like the complete opposite message her boss was telling us...

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Lol.

No, you're not.

Literally no one ever said that having or maintaining a political border was racist. That was just right wing morons trying to purposefully misrepresent the other side in order to refuse taking ownership over their own side's ideology and rhetoric.

Some basic rules are pretty easy, really.

DON'T:
Say immigrants are ruining your country
Scare rubes with claims that immigrants are committing a wave of violent crime
Say immigrants are fleeing their country because the immigrant peoples are inherently violent or less civilized
Enact policies that dehumanize and brutalize immigrants
Give high-ranking political positions to white nationalists
Seek to cut off all immigration because immigrants are wholly undesirable

DO:
Acknowledge the border interests of the country
Acknowledge structural issues forcing immigrants to leave their countries
Try to improve the situations in countries from which immigrants are fleeing
Don't aggravate economic and geopolitical problems forcing immigrants to flee
Administer the national border in a way that maintains basic dignity and due process

Of course, saying "illegal immigration isn't desirable" or "we should have a national border" was never disputed, so it wasn't a winning message. After all, Obama decreased illegal immigration more than any president and operated a firmer border as well. The entire point of the anti-immigrant movement in the Republican Party - whether through Tom Tancredo or Donald Trump - was to cynically and ignorantly exploit nativist fears for political gain. It was never serious, sincere, or based on real evidence.

When did Biden encourage illegal immigration?

No, you're not.

Why shouldn't they come? I thought illegals were a boon to American society, doing the jobs that lazy Americans don't want to have. Atleast that's what I heard for the past 4 years.

 

[Horse Style]

Ah, now that the Dems have the power, leftists have conveniently stopped conflating illegal immigration with legal immigration.

Nice dodge there. The ts asked a specific question and you made sure to throw a one liner , so you wouldn’t have to actually answer it

 

[Scerpi]

How about visiting the border first?

God... She's an idiot. Well done Joe, good thing she ticked the boxes you "Required" for a VP.

What about the requirements of being qualified and not a complete laughing bonehead

 

[ElKarlo]

It’s funny seeing him wrote all that crap when he and his side were clearly espousing a very different platform a year ago. What a Millhouse

You need help between those lines it appears. Here’s one of your own rags explaining it...

Kamala is no racist, and you may be taking life to seriously.

 

[Hadron90]

Doesn't immigration enhance our society? Aren't we a nation of immigrants? Will we be changing the inscription on the statue of liberty to "Do not come"?

 

[rob mafia]

Of course, saying "illegal immigration isn't desirable" or "we should have a national border" was never disputed

lolwut

lefties were calling for "open border" and/or "no border."

Literally no one ever said that having or maintaining a political border was racist.

possibly true. arguably, NPCs and bots truly are "literally no one."

That would be cool if it was true.

But it’s not.

 

[Whippy McGee]

It's only racist if Trump says it.
