Most if not the entirety of the problem stems from the way its framed. The arugments for amnesty are typically appeals to emotion, and since people aren't logical they tend to fall for it. The manipulation of people's empathy is key to getting them on board with policies like this. Its the same strategy used to push 'syrian' refugees into Europe.

I get that but can't for the life of me understand how what you think are rational people get so sucked in. And I get the concept of cognative dissonance too. I mean..if it all werent so blatently overboard I could see it. But at the level it is now? Where you are basically an evil demon if you dont agree with a Liberal's point of view? And they can't see the ludrcousy?
I actually think that every person who believes this shit is doing so as a way to avoid facing their own personal flaws/failures. By focusing on and labeling others' so-called failures of empathy..they can avoid attending to their own life. Like a way to avoid dealing with what they know deep down 'they' should be dealing with. It's much easier to point the finger.
