For my part, I have no issues with Harris' failure on the border, because I don't care about it. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 24/07/2024 07:28:55 AM

I'm not sure I've ever had a client, either as an attorney or when I was working with the public defenders as a law student, who was in the country illegally. I did have one client who was legally seeking asylum. The offense rates for illegal immigrants is astonishingly low, and if people aren't committing crimes, I don't much care at all if they're coming into the country illegally.

The only issue I see is that they are not paying a decent amount of taxes, but given that most of them would happily trade taxes for legal residence, I don't view that as much of an issue.

Much more concerning to me are, well, all of the topics listed in Agenda 47, like outlawing gender transition "at any age" (see https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-vows-punish-doctors-hospitals-173119606.html), or removing race-related information from school curricula, or further developing fossil fuel energy sources, or pursuing unitary executive theory, or putting more conservative justices on a Supreme Court already reversing critical decisions on rights like abortion.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
