    It’s the standard language of malice. I’m not charitable when I see that

      Let’s agree that they’re hateful and stupid then.

        First thought as I read your comment was por que no los dos?

  I don’t even know what the other guy said exactly, but based on context I agree with you.

  Not sure how being worried about liberals liberalizing with no regard for anything is pushing hate, but ok

    You seem to have jumped to the conclusion that the fact that perfectly legal naturalization of people living, working, and being productive members of their community is somehow going to destroy America.

    That seems like some unfounded hate you’re spreading.

    Claiming that naturalization of people who already live in the US is “destroying societies” is absolutely pushing hate.

      One can have the idea that immigration is bad, or we need to think all the same?

        That’s a very different claim from the one you started with: that the conversion of immigrants who have lived in the United States for 5+ years will somehow “destroy” society.

        The latter is hate speech.

        It’s great to destroy societies to win an election, is there enough housing, jobs, etc?

        You start with a bad faith argument, and anyone is supposed to take you seriously?
