Maybe the point was that once you stop seeing other people as human, you’re just as guilty of ignorance and bigotry as anyone else.

Or maybe not. Your call.

JS OBrien: I didn’t bother watching the last 1:30, what exactly was your point that I supposedly made?

The problem is that the racists (which is what these people are) say “get in line, follow the rules, you may have to jump some hurdles”, and then proceed to drive up the dump truck of artificial, needless and ridiculous hurdles. It sounds fine on paper, it never is in reality

The maker of this video obviously isn’t familiar with this topic, and the video is a misleading waste of time. Groups like NDN are only interested in obtaining race-based power, and they aren’t going to support post-”reform” enforcement any more than they do now.

If the maker of this video knew anything about this topic he would have pointed that out when the guy from NDN pretended to support CIR-mandated enforcement. He also would have pointed out that everything the guy from NDN said has been said literally *hundreds of times before* by other CIR proponents. ZoeL – who is/was/will be an immigration lawyer – even used the same canard used by other hacks: 24ahead.com/blog/archives/007665.html

I’ve got thousands of posts on this topic, scan through them if you want to find out everything else wrong with the statements on the video.

This is the kind of reporting that “traditional” media have abandoned. You have provided an insight that we would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Great job!

Great piece, JS. It’s almost disconcerting watching somebody with a perspective being allowed to talk into a mic for more than four seconds.

Immigration opponents: not as far apart as you might think?…

This 7-minute feature looks at a couple of groups that are supposed to be really opposed on immigration, but in the end they’re not as far apart as you might suspect. Unusually thoughtful coverage for an election season….
