We would have to carve out & leave behind much of the eastern portion of the state, and definitely omit Klantee in eastern San Diego, yet find a way to annex Tucson & Bisbee, Az. It would be tricky, but so very worth it!

It failed the environmental impact study.

Yes. We'll need a sort of dedicated super highway, perhaps along the southern Canadian border.

Do you get hard by calling people trolls? I’m a regular poster on this site and as a lawyer who does a shit-ton of pro bono work (including U-Visa citizenship applications for victims of domestic abuse and volunteering to help people affected by the travel ban) I’d be willing to bet a lot of money that I contribute way more to the cause of immigrants than some random ass like you who likes to get all high and mighty on liberal internet fora. Your “contribution” is basically equivalent to “thoughts and prayers.” Wow what a wonderful person you must be. Getting up in arms about the punishment is not the same as nor a replacement for stating an affirmative position on the offense itself. That’s like saying that there’s no point in articulating a position on whether murder or rape should be prosecuted or what qualifies as murder because the death penalty (and anyone who supports it) is racist. I started this discussion about the possible elements of an immigration reform bill and rather than engage with the substance you straw man it into a discussion of how terrible and racist family separation is and tell me I must be ok with it because I have the mental capacity to simultaneously have a separate discussion about immigration reform. Super productive. It’s great that you reduced yourself to insults and name calling though. Very adult of you. Take your holier-than-thou dismissive attitude and f*ck right off.

Ah the troll goes full troll at last. I was expecting it, if hoping not.The way you say "getting outraged over that" makes it clear you're not. You are a garbage person, it's that simple.

Well, no. We tend to think about things a while before doing them. Sometimes TOO long.

Just keep getting outraged over that then while failing to simply state a position on immigration at all until you get a critical mass of suburban women voters. That’ll do it.

You mean Stephen Miller's completely phoney status as a human being hasn't been revoked even yet?

He's the son Trump wishes he'd had.

Not sure what more information about "they are separating families at the border" these people you know need. If they know that and they do not become virulently anti-Republican, then yes there is something seriously wrong with them, and experience tells us that thing is that they are racists.

Could New England and New York join you please? We already have lots of people of French-Canadian descent.

Ah yes, the "cut & paste game" , in which evidence, as opposed to an unsupported opinion, is brought into a discussion.
