I am shouting at no one

I don’t know why you think the RINO liberal lefty approach is going to fly here at FR

Two thirds of the country agrees with Trump on immigration....that’s good enough

I didn't say you were shouting at anyone. I just said that I won't be able to persuade anyone by shouting.

And two thirds of the country of the country is not good enough. We must try to reach out in the swing states. There is too much at stake.

“Two thirds of the country agrees with Trump on immigration....that’s good enough”

I guess that’s the part that i don’t get here. What great need is there for a dialog with the 1/3 who have some sort of death wish or are profiting handsomely from allowing the gate crashers to stay? The same folks who support ‘sanctuary cities’ and the like. Are they going to suddenly change their minds? extremely doubtful.

Trump is straight forward, he isn’t pandering, and his support is slowly growing among the so called minorities.

To more specifically answer your question - why I thought the essay might fly here.

I am not trying to persuade FR readers to support deportations. I'm guessing that most FR readers already agree to some extent. I'm just trying to offer a way to frame the issue for FR readers, who know liberals or moderates who might be persuaded.

I live in a place where most people assume I'm a racist monster for simply wanting to enforce the law and revise overall immigration policy to serve American interests. Sadly, I am risking threats of violence to my family to stick my neck out and do the right thing. Doesn't it sicken you that someone should actually fear violence for peacefully expressing their defensible (even if unpopular) political views? Fortunately, I am a second amendment guy.
