Doesn't anyone understand how this game is played?
First they go after the weakest among us. They even get some of us to turn against them. Then when they get done doing whatever they have planned for the weakest, with some of our help, then they go to the next weakest group among us. That may be Asians(we have done that before)? Might go after Muslims?(we have done that before too). Who knows the disabled might be next? They are pretty weak. Thats who I heard Rush Limbaugh railing against first time I heard him 20 or so years ago. The disabled! I couldn't believe my ears at the time. I thought who would want to listen to this a-hole? Or they might go after the unemployed? They will be saying why keep paying all this unemployment? How about pensioners? Why don't we just deport them? Wouldn't that be cheaper?

Well there thats how this game is played. Let the weakest link get fucked with and its only a matter of time before it becomes your turn to come to be fucked with because now you are the weakest group among us.

So you might want to keep that in mind when discussing this immigration issue.

Our continued solidarity depends on us keeping a level head and not let the hate talkers bullshit us into turning on one another.

10. Not to mention just like this one is too
Face it, anyone powerful enough to get elected president in this day and age is going to have Cheney or Cheneyesque connections.

5. and the other side is to help the weakest.
It is the difference between doing harm, trying to climb up on other people, (mentioned in Dante as a hell.)

or trying to help other people up.

If people hurt the weakest, eventually nobody is left but themselves to hurt.

If people help people up, then there is people they helped to be above them to help them when they need help up.

6. A little history lesson that reflects your excellent post:
"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
