RE: Immigration: How does one get people to re-think a political issue?

in #politics6 years ago

The media tries to make immigration an emotional issue because they can't win with logic. People need to be rational about it. We can't let everyone into America who wants to come here. There are over 1 billion people living south of the Rio Grande between Mexico and Argentina. We can't let them all in.

Thanks Barncat. I appreciate your thought-provoking response. I have been struggling to decide what to write about and was a little hesitant to engage such a controversial topic. I'm inclined toward getting a long, but recognize that as uncomfortable as it can be, perhaps conversation with those we disagree with is a healthy way forward. I plan to use your critique as a starting point to go a little further in reflecting on the topic in my next post (I hope you read it and share your response).
