I personally find this compassion and ability to look the other way when it comes to a law of the land and yet are so strict in how they handle BYU. Can we all admit the HC at BYU is more about controlling students than it is about morals and discipline. |

They have time to explain this, but can't explain blacks and the priesthood. |

Maybe they realize it is a thread about blacks and the priesthood which I didn't recognize. |

I'm not saying to deport all the illegals, but how does requiring people to obey the law lack compassion?

A common scenario in the illegal immigration debate: couple comes over the border illegally. They live in the US for years.....over a decade. In that time, both mother and father have 2 children in the states. The kids go to elementary school and are now in the junior high school. The kids are good kids and the parents just want the kids to go to college and get a good job. The parents do not pay income taxes, but nor will they be eligible for social security or welfare when they are older. They do pay sales tax. During their time here, they commit no crimes and basically are low key residents in their community. The kids are entrenched, have friends, speak English, and are normal junior high school kids. IPU, so you are saying that in your BEST analysis, the most important issue, the most glaring problem here, is that 12 years ago, 2 people crossed the border illegally and so we must "obey the law" and kick them out? Uproot them, separate them from their kids, or force their kids, US citizens, to move to sub-standard living conditions? This is about obeying the law? Seriously?

I'm just trying to get Cali to explain his comment that many Repubs don't want to be compassionate. He made the accusation so I'm calling him out and the best way to get a liberal like him to explain himself is to make a comment like I did.

Agreed. We should welcome all illegals into the country, especially the violent criminal types, as many Democrats urge. Compassion.
