I would argue that you probably need to step away from the keyboard, if you're willing to jump to the conclusion that someone truthfully posting a very customary "this is a dup" comment is a bigot.

Okay, it seems like you're talking about me. I don't particularly support Trump and didn't vote for the guy but his immigration policy is one place I agree. I believe that every single illegal should be deported and probably barred from re-entry or citizenship as a punitive deterrent. I do not believe anyone besides Trump will actually do this.

I do, however, disagree with Trump's targeting of pro-Palestinians. If Mahdawi originally immigrated illegally we should block a pathway to citizenship, as we should for every other current or former illegal. However, this appears to be done for the wrong reasons.

Tarring everyone who dislikes illegal immigration and believes the "soft" solutions have utterly failed as a bigot is inaccurate and unproductive.

There's already no path to citizenship for anyone that entered the US without a visa or parole, and if deported it already eliminates the eligibility for a visa for 5 to 20 years.

I wouldn't do that myself but when you refer to people as "illegals" you make it much more difficult.
