Wow, so human lives are equivalent to deer? Big time fail. False equivalency.

They've actually been building large tunnels under highways/roadways in Alaska to help prevent moose from being hit by cars.

Not related or relevant, but interesting.

So, let's figure out a way that the acceptable white people who've overstayed their visas can get special status, because after all...they're white.

So The Right initially complained that democrats want open borders and dont give a crap about security.

Now the complaint is that they aren't voting the same way they did in 2006 and 2013 when they voted for numerous border upgrades and posted stuff like that sign to try to help keep americans safe.

Dammed if you do, damned if you dont.

What on earth does skin color have to do with any of this?

Nothing like a bunch of "woke" white people trying to show how woke they are by making a bunch of anti-white comments....it's not helping anything.

You can fight racism without being anti-white.

The "Wall" has from the start been about white supremacy and fear of brown people.

I get it. It makes you feel like a woke white person to say stuff like that.

That's the left for you though. Make everything about race so that people are afraid to say anything contrary to the left talking points.

Oh no...mean words!

Agree, terrible thing for a president to say.

But I call a lot of places shitholes (I am sure you've called some place a shit hole too). Even places with white people, gasp.... It doesn't mean I'm a white supremacist.

Sure, there is a small portion of the country that is racist, nobody is denying racism exists....but it's laughable to say anyone who wants a barrier (or wall) in areas where it's needed wants it because they are scared of brown people and are white supremacists.

I've seen it. He's got plenty of questionable things from his past.

That doesn't mean that everyone who wants some portions of physical barriers is a white supremacist.

This is why a lot of reasonable people on the right have a hard time supporting many on the left.
