CA is beyond reason at this point. So many people have bought into the 'victim of the month' meme. They think that their victimhood is 'special'.
But we're ALL victims. This is a society built on injustice, on fracturing the many so they don't stand against the few.
What we need isn't a picking apart of our differences, but a coming together of our commonality.
Trump is not the problem. He set himself against the Deep State's agenda. And the Deep State's been heading for WWIII for years.
As for you, you're just a Deep State useful idiot, furthering its agenda. So I hope you enjoy cesium in your coffee. You've earned it.

Quote:Trump’s decision to kill DACA — never mind the attempt to obscure things with that meaningless delay — is, first and foremost, a moral obscenity: throwing out 800,000 young people who are Americans in every way that matters, who have done nothing wrong, basically for racial reasons. But it’s also worth noting that Jeff Sessions just tried to sell it with junk economics, claiming that the Dreamers are taking American jobs. No, they aren’t, even if we leave aside the question of who’s an American. DACA is very much a boon to the rest of the U.S. population, and killing it will make everyone worse off.

To see why, first note that whatever you think about the economics of less-educated immigrants — most of the evidence suggests that they don’t depress wages, but that’s another discussion — none of it applies to DREAMers. . . .
There is no upside whatever to this cruelty, unless you just want to have fewer people with brown skin and Hispanic surnames around. Which is, of course, what this is really all about.

I checked just now: Republicans are Happy Trump ended DACA, but they're less sure about deporting DREAMers. That suggests "illegal alien" is a fluid concept with them.

Trump says Jump. His Supporters ask, How high? In the Trump era, Republicans have been revising their views on right and wrong. Are their moral convictions writ in stone? Apparently not.

I find it funny that the same people that call those who would have ceded from the union many years ago traitors are the same people who support anybody in California who talks about it.
Hypocrisy much?

When Arizona passed its own immigration laws Obama's Justice Dept. sued and shut it down. The courts said only the Federal Govt. has the authority to legislate about immigration. Will Trump's Justice Dept. now do the same to California? Hell no! They're all wimps and idiots in DC now.

What happened to you, 1kiki? Last year you were a Bernie supporter. This year you are a Republican. What caused you to flip on fireflyfans.net? There is a story there you are not telling. I'd expect it from 6string because he is made of prototypical Republican stuff (angry about foreigners, angry at bosses, angry that libtards don't respect his whiteness) but what is your socioeconomic motivation? And don't give me this crap about "legal" because immigration laws are made to satisfy some primitive nativism yearnings, not technical reasons.

There is an opinion worth a two minute reading: "In a society too short of common goals, identity politics are an imperfect answer"
