So WHAT? Being a heartless asshole is not limited to a single color or creed. You think a few individuals can speak for the entire demographic? Latinos are not a Borg collective.
That and he is one of millions.
From Arizona. And let me tell you, he choked down a vote for Biden for his sisters. That won't hold in 2024.

Because I agree with arguments that classical liberals have raised, who are too "alt right" these days to the new world liberals, those arguments being that millions of immigrants have come here fleeing socialism in their own countries, and you WANT that here? What they escaped? You think you know more than POC when you virtue-signal about their needs so hard? Look at how many guilty white young liberals want to erase law enforcement, but that's NOT what REAL POC communities want. Hmm, very curious.
Guess what? I live in NJ. East and West Windsor are sanctuary counties. As in the police will not actively go after illegals unless they put themselves into trouble. That being said, we have a lot of these undocumented immigrants. Estimated 435,000 in the whole state.

Then we got 1.24 million blacks in NJ or 13.47% of the 9.4 million.

That being said, I think I would know what PoC are talking about.
I got nothing to say here.

Well, the ones I've talked to hail from, as I said, Arizona, but also Florida is another. And Tennessee. That's where you get more of this disconnect between red and blue, left and right, and it's all insane to me. I wish we had a third party.

My heart genuinely does beat for them, but I agree with arguments from my Latino friends that we can barely take of our own people, let alone those from other countries.
If we're not the world's policemen, then maybe we should stop metaphorically pistol-whipping these people.

"We can barely take care of our own" does not translate to "therefor steal children from people who try to get in."

Stop excusing these atrocities by saying "illegal immigrants are bad and latinos agree with me". If your heart beats, do something about it. Latinos who are glad that people are having their children snatched away from them can go fuck themselves with a cactus, too.

Shaming me for doing nothing. LOL. My resources are limited or I would.

What I think would help most is a third party. But we are never going to get one of those.

Your friend from Arizona can go shit in his hat and wear it.

What, you think I'm gonna agree with him just because he voted for Biden? I don't even like Biden. He voted for Biden reluctantly? What do you think I did, vote for him while drinking champagne and jerking off?

We're not "virtue signalling". We're being moral. We're saying "we shouldn't seperate families, cage kids, or otherwise inhumanely treat people, because that is senseless and evil." Just because you don't agree with it, or don't do the same, or don't see why somebody else would do it, doesn't make it "virtue signalling". Honestly all of this whinging about Virtue Signalling has really gotten me to consider if the "Evil Cannot Comprehend Good" trope is truth in television.

The frell does law enforcement have to do with this? Keep that gremplork in the police defunding threads.

Refugees are not well-armed gangs. People fleeing violence are not the same as the perpetrators of said violence. What are YOU so scared of?

I'm not shaming you for doing nothing. I'm shaming you for defending an evil thing and calling it good.

The world has millions of evils in just one day that passes. We cannot possibly right them all.

Btw, nowhere did I claim that. Just that my thought process is more open to interpretation than ever, as it should be. Of course, being shown the compassion I'd long needed from conservatives sneered off as "Nazis" has been quite eye-opening. While most hardcore leftists I've known have just recently treated me with nothing but contempt. And just reinforces more and more my dislike for the world.

And? There's a difference between not righting a wrong, and defending a wrong as if it was a right. You're acting as if there was some kind of valid purpose to seperating children from their families to languish in foster care.

The task force is doing something GOOD. Good things should be done. We can't do all of them but that's no excuse to wallow in evil. Seriously, what the blueberry fuck is your problem with this?

And it never even once crossed your mind, that this may have something to do with you? I mean, you manage to do one of the most wierdest things I've done in a while, because I keep agreeing more and more with Fuzzy the more you keep your fingers sliding over your keyboard, because geez, you are on a fast downward spiral...
