Would like an honest discussion. Would the left still be pro illegal immigrant if the United States started getting flooded with millions of Caucasian illegal immigrants? Or is their beliefs only dependent on skin color?
Nope
Liberals only “care” about things when they can virtue signal for minorities and special interest groups.
ITT though, a bunch of them will lie and pretend that they would care about things equally.
Good lord, it must be really horrible living with that type of irrational cynicism.
Would it be better for me to word it to the current climate?Eastern European refugees simply have never existed especially not during the 90’s and Western Europe and the Usa never taken in people fleeing the Balkan wars.
Question: where do you think all the people from Bosnian descent in the USA come from, and why did they flee their countries?
It’d be less horrible, I guess. In general leftists are the ones in favor of granting shelter to people fleeing war etc. I don’t see why they wouldn’t now.Would it be better for me to word it to the current climate?
This was a time before extreme leftism.
Edit: rokzilla beat me to it.
Example #1 right here ^^^^^
Would you be in favor or letting 5 million Europeans in if it meant displacing 5 million Mexican/Central Americans?It’d be less horrible, I guess. In general leftists are the ones in favor of granting shelter to people fleeing war etc. I don’t see why they wouldn’t now.

Who’s getting displaced now? I’m not in favor of displacing people as a general rule and I don’t see why Mexican Americans would have to get displaced, I’d need a little more detail to answer hypotheticals like that.Would you be in favor or letting 5 million Europeans in if it meant displacing 5 million Mexican/Central Americans?
But if they’d tell you how they would feel about it, you’d call them liars I assume?I'm talking about the left in the US during 2018. They do not like white South Africans because they think they're racist so I highly doubt they would view Eastern Europeans any differently.

Dude, all you ever do here is play the same old "The other side always" or "the other side can only". God, the absolutism in practice is grating as hell, man. I don't think you could even properly describe as to what you think "the left" even is.
Your perception of it. Why even bother asking leftists if you’re just going to call them liars when their answer doesn’t fit your prejudice?Reality....

Wtf? Yes, if the persons were fleeing war, poverty, or otherwise dangerous conditions, then the left would generally support granting them refuge, at least to a much greater extent than the right. Just like the (far) left was the only political group urging the United States to grant refuge to Jews during the Holocaust (granted, the extent of the danger facing them was not fully understood by the country).
I presume it was the same case for the (white) Bosnian and Croatian refugees of the 1990s: that the left supported taking them in and the right didn't. They were Eastern Europeans and were taken in primarily under Clinton, I believe.
