The other claims that we need mass immigration because our aging population is insufficient to provide the labor force we need. So which is it, not enough workers or not enough jobs? I guess it's a question that is answered by politicians depending on which part of their constituency is asking.


Can you show where the Democratic party is advocating for mass immigration?

Nancy Pelosi was pretty clear in saying that it would be immoral to build a wall in an attempt to enforce the border. Those to the left of Pelosi want to abolish ICE. I don't think it's controversial to say Democrats want more immigration than the law currently allows for and seek to thwart attempts to enforce the laws currently on the books.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

So no mass immigration. How about showing their positions from the Democratic party, but I suspect you have never investigated this as any well informed voter should.

It could also be considered immoral to poke your child in the eye with a toothpick if she broke your house rules, but saying as much isn’t advocating for allowing your daughter to do whatever she wants.

So, you start a thread here that seems to condemn a politician for not being self involved, but condemn a politician here for being self-involved....its a bit confusing until the realization of how juvenile your political insights have become.
