    The GOP attitude toward Dreamers is just another side of their bigotry, hate, and short-thinking ignorance. We, as a society, want people to have access to health care for a multitude of reasons. But not the good ol’ GOP shitheads.

      When veterans cant get healthcare and illegals can, theres something very wrong. What should happen is them getting deported. Otherwise, it just encourages more illegal immigrants.

      Does it not strike you as odd to say “we as a society want X, except for [approximately half of the people in our society who want the opposite of X]”?

        Not really. People who don’t want healthcare are saying they don’t really care if diseases and misery spread to all and show an incredible, painful ignorance of science. Fuck 'em.

          Yeah, you can’t apeal to “society has decided X” as an argument, if you also hold that half the people in society don’t count because you disagree with them. That’s actually the opposite of what ‘society’ means in that context.

      Dreamers are illegal immigrants who were abused by their parents. This does not mean we shouldnt deport them.

          Deportion is not abuse, why on Earth would it be?

          I think we have fundementally different ideas of what abuse and deportation are

            Deportion is not abuse

            The recipients of DACA are young people who have grown up as Americans, identify themselves as Americans, and many speak only English and have no memory of or connection with the country where they were born.

            You would send someone to a country they have no memory of, no connection to, and cannot speak the language and not call it abuse? They’re not being sent home. They’re effectively being sent to a foreign country.

      Ah, Ye Olde sophist personal attack, the bastion of those with no argument to make.

      Welp, you’ve convinced me.

        It’s not a personal attack. It’s a statement of fact. Don’t like it? Don’t lie.
