There’s no bigger opponent of illegal immigration than yours truly, but I think Severin’s comments were stupid and insulting. Let’s leave the depersonalization to the idiots on the Left and offer reasoned arguments why open borders are damaging to our economy, our health, and our sovereignty.
I’m with you; but I’ve been chewed out a lot lately for advocating thinking and measuring a little more carefully before jumping onto fairly extreme verbiage. It’s frustrating [making and remaking elements of the Conservative case] against a (liberal) background of being able to argue that any word means anything “I” want it to. But I agree with you; lately what’s getting my goat is the steady and deliberate bifurcation of word meanings everywhere.
Investment
Marriage
Diversity
Tolerance
etc; etc; etc;
Which is not directly relevant to your post, except to the extent that participating in arguments where libs draw the boundaries is surrendering a fair amount of ground. If you get my drift, and it is a drift.
