The Wall

[BananaStand]

However, if it is decided that our policy on immigration is dumb, ineffective, and that building a wall is same same, then perhaps a reform involving registration of certain immigrant classes is in order. Like TSA pre-screening, or something. Like, OK, tell us who you are and we'll do a full background check one time, and then you can pass through the express lane

Great idea. I've heard the cartels wanted to outsource their mule hiring and interview process. Pretty generous of us to do it for free

Only a troll would suggest that national policies should be justified with rumors and hearsay.

Only a troll would suggest that the USA is the only, or even most inviting, place which would attract immigration.

If you're not an intentional troll, then your sense of evidence or what constitutes a motivating standard for national policy is completely irrelevant to the topic.

I do have to give credit where it's due. You're standing up for what you believe against like half a dozen people who disagree with you.
I can forgive the fact that you crossed my statements with other people's statements in that sense.
My other critiques hold.

Until you see the nuance in each of your political rivals' thoughts, you will not get the respect you feel you deserve.
FYI
We can't respect you when you keep arguing against points no one has made.

Only a troll would misinterpret sarcasm as sincerity.

Only a troll would suggest that the USA is the only, or even most inviting, place which would attract immigration.

Only a troll would make a claim like this without looking it up. Go ahead, look it up.

If you're not an intentional troll, then your sense of evidence or what constitutes a motivating standard for national policy is completely irrelevant to the topic.

Ok, I'll humor you, what would be the 'motivating standard' for your idea of an 'express lane' over the southern border? How do you not see massive potential for fraud and abuse of that policy. The only way to counter that, would be to screen these people. Except you made them exempt from screening.

My other critiques hold.

I flat out, don't care.

Then don't respect me. Again, I flat out don't care.

You DID make the point about an express lane over the border. If you care to explain how you could prevent from being abused, go ahead. Otherwise, we'll just agree it was a stupid idea.

Nope.
If you read my actual words, rather than scan them and run them past your inner filter for what you're allowed to be offended by, you will find a complete lack of any confidence in my post, as well as a lot of speculation.
I made exactly 0 points, so whatever you think you read is, again, nothing to do with me.

Here. Bold added for clarity.

IDK if this addresses a totally different issue, though. There'd still need to be an amnesty for past criminal acts, in light of the new law, and loads of people are against that idea.

If you care to explain how you could prevent from being abused, go ahead.

I didn't propose any changes to what constitutes a full background check.
If it's abusable in my brainstormed proposal, then it's already abusable, and a non-sequitur to attribute that flaw as a fault in my proposal.

Otherwise, we'll just agree it was a stupid idea.

We can agree that the idea you attribute to me, which is not my idea, is stupid.
