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.
 
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.

Good lord, it must be really horrible living with that type of irrational cynicism.
 
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?

Would it be better for me to word it to the current climate?

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.
 
This was a time before extreme leftism.

Edit: rokzilla beat me to it.
{<huh}

Yugoslovia was a socialist country, a one party state, until two years before its death. You’d call that extreme leftism, no?

‘Before extreme leftism’ is such a stupid thing to say when talking about Eastern Europe in the 20th century.

There were enough communist sympathizers, hippies and whatever else in the USA too.
 
Example #1 right here ^^^^^

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.

Would you be in favor or letting 5 million Europeans in if it meant displacing 5 million Mexican/Central Americans?

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.
 
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.
But if they’d tell you how they would feel about it, you’d call them liars I assume?

Pipe down creep.
 
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?

Why even pretend to not be a hipoctite and a liar, also why the fuck should I care about your feelings and opinions on a question about America when you aren’t even from here???
 
Russians have been persecuted in ukraine and stripped of citizenship in the baltics after the baltic leaving of the USSR.

But be fair maybe baltoids shouldnt be considered full european. If it helps them achieve minority status and its perks.

We've already seen it. Liberals have no interest in accepting white south Africans.
