    So, you would expect Norwegian immigrants and Haitian immigrants to be equally reliant on social services?

    Just to be clear, I'll ask again, is a merit based immigration system inherently racist?

    People in bars have called Melania a whore and a bad porn actress, is that acceptable comments if made by public officials in a public building while conducting public business?

    This map, by the way, produced 77% Republican representation in Congress with 55% of the vote.

    Here's Alabama's. I'll give you one guess what types of people live in those long yellow squiggles that might otherwise unduly influence the purity of the elections in the first, second and sixth districts. This map led to 86% Republican representation against 65% of the vote in 2016. Doug Jones won the majority of the state in the senate run-off, but lost six of the seven congressional districts.

    It is inherently un-American, and since it would be implemented by a racist administration, I'll say yes to your question as well.
    In other news, Durbin put everyone else in that meeting on the spot this morning by publicly confirming Trump's language. The Republicans present will either have to call their Senate colleague a liar, call Trump one, or duck the question, tacitly confirming Durbin's version. Special bonus points for Durbin's putting Lindsay Graham in a real bind by saying Graham objected to Trump's remarks.

    And again, the question will be rightfully ignored, because not one of the people proposing it has the capability of implementing one in a not-racist way, and the beliefs underlying their advancement of changes to immigration are transparently and nakedly racist, as is any support for it.

    And, would drawing those lines in a less squiggly manner result in fewer African-Americans being elected to congress?

    We've seen that, even very democratic districts almost never elect an African-American to represent them, unless the district is minority-majority.

    So, you can have more Democrats elected, but fewer of them will be African-American. How would you feel about that?

    If this is about use of social services, why are we not extending DACA again? They aren't allowed to use social services.

    It's a shameless shell game. A hundred different policies to get rid of brown people, all with a different justification because it's still not *quite* publicly acceptable to say how much you hate brown people in mixed company.

    But, it wouldn't be if implemented by a democrat?

    So really, you're doing this for their own good. The poor souls need this sort of guidance, otherwise they might not vote for the right people. Paternalistic racist bullshit.

    "Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”


    But if they don't have the resources and education to succeed from day one...or if they come from a place some of us consider to be a shithole...send those fuckers home!
