  Yeah, no culty black and white thinking to see here lol. Very constructive conversation - this OP is basically push-back against how things are portrayed in the mainstream media ... 'Orange Man bad; activists good'.

  The reason why we're having these discussions is because the MSM is black and white in their articles. Alex Cortez can call immigration centres 'concentration camps', and expect no MSM calls for her to watch her language when an ICE center gets firebombed; but Trump gets called a white supremacist who must watch his language after a shooter goes on a rampage.

  Black-and-white thinking AND ridiculous double standards from our media.

  Here's some info from a left-leaning, Cortez-supporting media outlet, Huff Post:

  Cortez wants to get rid of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

  “Would you get rid of Homeland Security?” the interviewer asked.

  “I think so. I think so,” Ocasio-Cortez responded

  And what does DHS do?

  Homeland Security, with over 200,000 employees, has a mission of

  “preventing terrorism; securing our borders; enforcing immigration laws; securing cyberspace; and ensuring disaster response and resilience.”
  

  So, does AOC really want secure borders?

  Hmmm ...

  Gotta love AOC.

  She's kinda cute and I think she believes she's right but facts win again over fee-fees.

  If the UK leaves the EU WITHOUT a deal.....

  by The Fall Guy in

  .....it would appear that the republic of ireland (not the uk) is responsible under eu law for the setting up of a hard border with its non-eu neighbour, northern ireland.

  just as spain had to do with ceuta in morocco.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ceuta_border_fence.

  a 310 mile border would cost a helluva lot to build and to cover with security.

  Just to add, people sometimes talk about the reunification of Ireland and Scottish independence as 'breaking up the UK' - not true.

  I don't mind if N. Ireland and Scotland leave the UK - the UK will continue to exist, and the remaining members (England, Wales, Isle of Man, Falklands, etc.) will continue to get the benefits.

  @Humphry

  If Trump needs to tone down his rhetoric because of the El Paso shooter, then does Alex Cortez need to tone down her rhetoric about US 'concentration camps' after the attempted ICE fire bombing?

  What's good for the goose is good for the gander ...

  You take issue with the Oxford Research Encyclopedia? - in this instance, yes.

  It's clearly biased in favour of immigrants (legal and illegal).

  Every time an illegal immigrant enters a country illegally they're committing a crime. Someone needs to point this out to these twats at Oxford.

  Research has shown that immigrants (including undocumented) have a positive effect upon reducing crime rates - obviously not counting the crimes that illegal immigrants commit every time they enter a country illegally. lol

  Also, there must be many unsolved crimes committed by illegals because illegals aren't on the radar.
  

  BTW nice, unbiased source you've used there, Pete.

  FWIW, I think Trump should mind what he says and how he says things from now on.

  It may have been refreshing to some people when he was taking on the political establishment in 2016 but these are tumultuous times for the US in 2019.

  And it would makes sense politically for Trump, too. If Trump is now more careful in his speech, he will totally outflank his political opponents. Cortez & co. will be talking about concentration camps and anyone who wants border controls is a Nazi, Trump will sound sane in comparison.

  Nor does he have to. This is why the POTUS has to be especially measured in the things he says.

  For example, when the POTUS made the stupid comments about Charlottesville, white supremacy groups were fawning and salivating over his comments - does this apply to Democrats, too?

  Alex Cortez has repeatedly said US immigration detention centers are concentration camps. Last month some nut tried to firebomb an ICE building and was shot dead. She has also apparently said that marginalized communities have no choice but to riot.

  Does Cortez need to watch her language, too?

  Or is it a case of double standards?

  Take your time ...

  The POTUS does set the temperature on many issues - but he didn't say, 'hey Joe Blow, shoot up a bunch of immigrants!'
