President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

What limitations did Jesus and the Bible put on your charity?

 

An overwhelming majority of Americans would vote for both a referendum to make abortion legal in all 50 states.

The same would be true of severely limiting immigration.

In both cases, the opposition to abortion or strict immigration laws make an appeal to humanity.

 

So yes to Canada and Spain? If a family said “I live in a nation rife with violence and guns, governed by Republicans who care not about my safety, so I am a refugee” what should a response from Canada or Spain be?

What would the moral objection be? If good people want to live in another country and be productive, contributing members of society, what exactly is the moral quandary?

 

Not both sides

 

I’m not sure there is a moral quandary in the message board universe.

I could imagine Canadians not wanting to take 500,000 Americans as refugees.

 

So, yes to Canada and Spain taking in Americans.

 

Oh I’m for sure certain that Canada has a population of nativists who would be like, “they’re not sending us they’re best people; they’re sending rapists and murders!”

Yet still: I know my morals would compel me to act otherwise. What about you?

 

Not much. As long as the boldface qualifications hold up. Starting with two questions: 1. Can you speak English? 2. Do you have employment here and/or means of support until you find employment (if you'll need it)? One 'no' answer is concerning. Two should be disqualifying.

 

yuh but Biden wore jogging shoes which is undignified

 

I mean, it’s a message board.

In reality, an unlimited-immigrants-based-on-morals policy is not currently working in the US.
