    You say that like it gives those concerns some validity.

    Any word yet if Texas has eradicated all the rapists like Abbott promised. Not having a working penis, like Governor Abbott ( no relation), is a good start.

    I don't think I disagree with you there. Politicians are constantly trying to take credit for good things.

    Good God, man. No, I did not vote for Trump. Never, ever, ever, ever would I vote for Trump. I would vote for you before I would vote for Trump.

    No, I say that because it strikes me as a pretty big stretch to attribute their concerns to anti-Hispanic racism.

    What's happening in Texas is the result of 175 years of exploitation of Mexico and Central America by citizens, corporations and the governent of the United States.

    There are millions like you. And there are millions not.

    I’m more of a make it work person. American kids should learn Spanish, for example.

    OK. So what’s the policy upshot to “America bad country” then? Open borders as atonement?

    To be clear: If Biden wants open borders, hey, go for it. Just tell us that. The Biden policy right now is somewhere along the lines of “uh, yeah, well, we’ll take some back, and keep some and, uh, wow there’s a lot of people near that overpass huh?”

    There is no shortage of those. Neither side has made a legitimate attempt to produce legislation, not in a serious and prolonged way. The R's have certainly played Culture Wars with it plenty over the last twenty years.

    No, he means that it gets much more complicated to call them racists for saying it.

    Also, Biden and the dems campaigned on making the second stimulus $2000 up from $600, so it would stand to reason that Biden would try to claim credit for it

    Draft a comprehensive foreign worker policy that lets people cross the border legally to work and send remittances to famiy at home. If Mexican/Central American families are like me,they'd rather not uproot themselves and move to a foreign land with a foreign language to work for under-the-table wages.

    Establish civil order in the Northern Triangle, by diplomacy and economic support if possible and by military force if necessary. If we're going to nation-build, let's do it on our doorstep where failed states are a legitimate threat rather than on the other side of the world. We haven't hesitated to invade before, or use the CIA to prop up generalissimos like Rios-Montt and Duarte.
