I really think "The illegals" needs to be erased from the discourse. Unless they have a distinct species moniker, they're still human beings located in the wron

I really think "The illegals" needs to be erased from the discourse. Unless they have a distinct species moniker, they're still human beings located in the wrong place politically (in the geographical sense).
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoAnd rapists are just humans that would up with the body in the wrong place? Sorry man, I don't buy the "words can hurt" argument for people who for noble reasons or not break the law. People who overstay Visas or sneak across boarders, are breaking the law. They are illegally existing someplace they shouldn't be according to the laws of that land. I fully support your rights to argue for open borders. I'll vote against that, but I'll support your 1A to petition the government.
- meko 8y agoYou don't think language has an impact on perception? You think the Nazi effort to dehumanize jews with rhetoric didn't work? What a simple world you must live in.

- crowdpleaser 8y agoThere's a simple solution - legalize everything and see how it pans out.
- sneakernets 8y agoYou'll just end up with Burning Man.
- crowdpleaser 8y agoProbably not. There's an invisible order that underpins burning man - the United States' rule of law. If acts at burning man didn't invite the scrutiny of US Law Enforcement, it'd be a very different place. 'But there are drugs at burning man' - if it were truly a land onto its own, they'd be synthesizing the drugs at burning man.
