To my mind it makes them insubstantial and whether it’s Mogg, or Bojo, or Corbyn (for that matter), you wonder more about their owners - from right-wing US billionaires to Len McCluskey.
Blathering. When did I say the government couldn’t tax, couldn’t borrow? Reading comprehension helps.ou were the one blathering on about enumerated powers. You seemed woefully unaware as to the nature of the US government’s borrowing powers and why they exist.
Speaking of civics, the enumerated powers are in article 1,section 8 of the constitution, not the Articles of Confederation.It’s as often observe with debating more Libertarian leaning people, that they seem u aware the US they believe in ceased to exist in 1787 because the predecessor constitution was a startling failure. And yet that’s the constitution they think the US should have.
Why is it necessary that I be specific when I am not arguing for a specific proposal? I am arguing for a general principle, in which the indeterminate “slightly” is adequate. Is this another deflection?LeafByNiggle:![]()
Define slightly. Be specific.By arguing for slightly more consideration for economic migrants, one is not necessarily arguing for outlandish benefits subsidizing said migrants, many of whom could support themselves just fine without any welfare, if only given a chance to be here and contribute to society.
Because your general principle could allow for tens of millions of foreign nationals entering the country.Why is it necessary that I be specific when I am not arguing for a specific proposal?

Well, if we agree in expanding immigration but disagree only in the degree or the method, I can accept that.LeafByNiggle:![]()

What I proposed was to give economic migrants “slightly more consideration” than they are getting now. That in itself does not necessitate encouraging illegal border crossings.I am all in favor of expanding immigration, more than slightly as the country has need. What I oppose is foreign nationals crossing the border illegally.
I can agree with that, depending on the means you propose to “strongly promote” those things. If you think Trump’s recent agreement with the President of Guatemala is a model for such an effort, I will have to disagree with that.Meanwhile, strongly promote individual rights, limited government, and free markets in nations who receive our foreign aid so their citizens can be successful at home.
Agreed.Well, if we agree in expanding immigration but disagree only in the degree or the method, I can accept that.
Well, you don’t , but the majority of progressive leadership does. Open borders is their goal.What I proposed was to give economic migrants “slightly more consideration” than they are getting now. That in itself does not necessitate encouraging illegal border crossings.
I don’t know the details, but foreign aid must be tied to these considerations.I can agree with that, depending on the means you propose to “strongly promote” those things.

Sure.but the majority of progressive leadership does. Open borders is their goal.
