Seriously.

While I believe that some people want to have a "civil discussion" on this matter, I also believe that others are looking for a cockfight.

During the Alito nomination, we had "GD: Alito" and "GD: Everything Else."

Maybe something similar is needed here. Maybe not. Just my opinion.

4. Call it whatever you want, but...
...I'm telling you, the topic needs its own group for the same reasons the Alito nomination needed its own group.

5. Yes! Really, it's about HR4437 not the broader issue of immigration
We're biting off something that America hasn't been able to deal with for over 100 years. We've got to focus.

6. I disagree - immigration is a very important topic
I disagree with you. Immigration is a very important Democratic topic.

This is a white hot issue and it is very dangerous.

The repugs may have been trying to change the subject. They succeeded in starting another loosing war. We can easily win this debate. The long term benefits to the party and the Country could be enormous.

We need to find a way to give Hispanic and other immigrants a political home without alienating labor, progressives, or the America people. The Republican position is so extreme that it should not difficult to accomplish this.

7. Where did I say it's not an important topic?
Seriously.

Go to my original post, copy the section where I said that it's not an important topic, and post it in a reply to this.

Do it now.

I'll say to you what I said in my original post, and I'll say it for the third time in this thread.

We need a GD: Immigration forum for the same reason that we needed a GD: Alito forum.

All of the other things you posted have nothing to do with this.

Copy and paste. Now.

I apologize. Somehow I managed to misread your post. There is no excuse for that.
