Re: Eisenhower's deportation
My point is that Faith is just repeating anti immigrant and anti US talking points, that are racist manipulations of the actual historical facts. Faith obviously has not even read what she linked to because an actual reading of them does not support her ideology. Therefore I am trying to find out what in the links she thinks supports her racism.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Eisenhower's deportation
All I heard was that Eisenhower had deported a million illegal aliens, and that is literally ALL I heard. I didn't hear anything Trump said about it or any other commentary about it, just that he deported a million people. My view was that we have that many now that should be deported. I'm not thinking of cruel methods, just sending them back where they came from, in the most humane way possible.
In response to your post above, I did read most of the linked articles, but I don't agree with the methods employed. Just that deportation is a way to deal with the illegals flooding into the country now. When I first heard that Eisenhower had done it I was surprised that it was possible in huge numbers.

Summary of the thread
So far, here's what I've gotten out of this thread:
  • In the aftermath of a violent confrontation at a protest rally, when Trump was talking about "fine people on both sides", he wasn't actually referring to the actual white supremists who were at the rally and were the topic of the conversation - he went off topic and started talking about people with a fetish for uniformed men made of marble.
  • Competent generals should always be honored, no matter how heinous the cause for which they devote their talents.
  • Raising people from a status of being property to being human beings with civil rights causes problems. These problems are bad enough they justify going to war.
  • Many people in the antebellum Northern US didn't like slavery, This was unprovoked aggression that justified going to war.
  • Mid-nineteenth century white Southern Americans who were angry that many Northerners were opposed to treating human beings as property.
    Early twenty-first century American conservatives who are angry that some cities require Federal immigration officials to carry out their duties without the assistance of local law enforcement.
    These two things are so similar that understanding one helps to understand the other.
  • This similar thing seems to be: white people get really, really angry when non-white people vote.
  • Jesus taught that his followers should be nice to people. If those people are Christians. Jesus thinks everyone else can just suck it.
That's what I like about EvC: I sure do learn a lot!

So again you accept right wing misinformation as fact and do not bother to confirm the information before you present it as fact.

Asylum seekers are not "illegal". US and international law gives them the right and legal mechanism to apply for asylum. The current issue is being caused by donnie's illegal treatment of legal asylum seekers.
The sources you cited clearly state that a million immigrants were not deported by Eisenhower during Operation Wetback. Most of the more recent Presidents had more deportations.

Re: Eisenhower's deportation
Of course.
Actually "asylum seekers" are an iffy group, most of them not qualified for that status. "Donnie" isn't mistreating anyone. Obama did though.

Re: Summary of the thread
Trump made a distinction between "good people" or "fine people" and "bad people" on both sides. How he divided the crowd is not known.\\\
Reading further in your post I encounter your slur of conservatives and "white people." I get SO tired of this L-e-f-tist (censored by the Mad Censor as usua) lie.

Re: Eisenhower's deportation
You know this how? You do realize we have courts and judges that determine this and each case is different. Do you even know what qualifies people for asylum?

Re: Eisenhower's deportation
We've got so much corruption in the system these days including in the courts and judges I don't trust any of it. The whole country is falling apart internally. Don't even try to convince me there's anything legal about most of the asylum seekers. Nobody on the ELFT sees what the Muller "investigation" really was, a political attempt at a coup to cover up Hillary's criminal obstruction of justice in destroying her server that would reveal that she WAS emailing classified information. Trump is and always has been absolutely innocent of all the charges the FLET smears him with,and since that's the case, since there is no integrity there I know there is no integrity on their other issues either and flooding the nation with illegals is a big one.

In other words you didn’t read the history.com article that you linked to, showing that it was a nasty racist policy that failed ?

That’s another silly lie.

I guess that you are referring to your own, obvious lack of integrity.

Yes, if you read only books written in English, you could draw the conclusion that all books are written in English.

Anyone here willing to stand up for Jones' right to free speech or is silencing him and undermining Trump the new standard of free speech applauded by you all?
I'm all in favor of free speech. As I create my new social media account, Thugpreacha I will be controversial---to the point that I will get flak from Christians, Muslims, Secular Humanists, and P.C. Progressives. My character is a work in progress and involves a lot of prayers and scriptural reading on my part.
Faith, responding to Theodoric writes:
instead of just blasting me about nothing why not try to figure out what I'm trying to say? I AM creating an argument here although it is clear few care enough to try to follow it.
I am attempting to follow it. You and I are so different. Diversity is a good thing, however. If everyone on the planet were Reformed Theology authoritarians, I seriously doubt whether God would be any more pleased than He is now.

Re: Summary of the thread
One side was Nazis and people who chose to march with Nazis at an event organized by Nazis and advertised as an event for Nazis.
The other side weren't any of that.
That's how the crowd divides.
