Going back to a topic I was discussing before, it also turns off many “middle” Americans (note: not centrists; this is a different and far more delusional breed) that many on the left seem to care far more about illegal immigrants and their affairs more than they do about actual Americans and legal residents.

Heck, it turns me off, and I am firmly on the left. That so much of the time on the left is spent wailing plaintively about illegal immigrants and their plight while at the same time they castigate and bemoan the deplorableness of the “deplorables” makes very little sense to 95% of Americans.

No, I don’t think we should be locking up those who cross the border into concentration camps. At the same time, most Americans and permanent legal residents are not much concerned (nor should they be) if some economic migrant gets tossed back across the border while their legal, American children barely have enough food to eat — and all the while some leftist cries about the injustice of someone not being allowed in who will likely be competing for that parent’s job.

As I also noted before, the left is world-class in Olympic foot-shooting. Here, to most, they show their true colors as they ignore the concerns of actual citizens to shove more people through the door for a pool of declining jobs. That doesn’t play well, understandably.
