I notice you like to lump Dem candidates together so neatly and also have no idea what pandering is.
Why don't you enlighten us oh great arkirk?
Your position has a name. That is Nativist, and could also be considered chicken littleism or Xenophobia on steroids.
Wrong. I do not advocate ending all immigration, not even from Latin America. But immigration should be legal, based on our ability to absorb the immigrant and our needs. Also people from diverse countries should be given opportunity to immigrate rather than it being so heavily slanted toward Hispanics due to illegal influx.
For all those reasons, I oppose illegal immigration. Why should illegals be treated better than those who want to come to the US the right way?
Something you do not seem to understand about human events...especially migrations...is that they have never been controlled or even slowed by raids and deportations and punishments.
I understand that mass migration has never benefited the host society. Thus it needs to be resisted. US (like Europe) can not reasonably accommodate all who want to come here. Hence restrictions on immigration. Saying that there should be no illegal immigration and reasonable restrictions on legal immigration does not make one anti-immigration. Much less "xenophobic" or "nativist".
The immigrant is there as a natural human response to harsh events in the countries of origin.
US cannot absorb all those fleeing harsh conditions in their countries of origin.
So often, these immigrants are running from actions corporate America has taken in their country of origin.
Yepp, go-to statement by the far left. Blame US for everything.
This is particularly true in central American countries and would also be true for Arab countries if America were geographically contiguous with that area.
I see the mess in Cuba for example being chiefly due to a band of thugs supported by the USSR bloodily taking over power and installing a communist dictatorship.
Immigrants are poor people who don't have anything but the desire to live a good life.
Yes, but that does not mean US should accept all those who want to come here. That'd quickly overwhelm US.
Along comes Trump and perhaps you and turns them into rapists, thieves and murderers. That my friend is xenophobia on steroids.
Well many illegals are also engaging in other crimes.
Hillary is politicking on these issues, not pandering.
What's the difference?
We must always attempt to encompass the entire human race with our ideas of civilization and stop trying to reinvent the "nigger."
That does not mean we should allow the entire human race to illegally immigrate here.

That's great! I think that people who are threatened by immigrants who can't speak the language and have a 4th grade education need to look at the mirror.
Perhaps I want a driver who understand what I am talking about? Or a gardener who can read the instructions on the bottle of weed killer.
And again, I have nothing against immigration per se. But illegal immigration is quite another thing.
