(4,377 posts)It's seriously disturbing to read people who claim to be supportive of immigration suddenly talking in such a deeply condescending and patronizing manner about how immigration groups are supposedly allowed to talk or who they're allowed to critisize. The simple truth is that neither party come up smelling of roses on these issues (obviously the GOP are far, far worse, but that doesn't give us a free pass to be fair weather friends).
Maybe instead of throwing your toys out of your pram about poor Nancy's hurt feelings, maybe you should focus a little more on the needs of these people who risk being thrown out of a country they've in some cases only ever known and being sent to a country where they have nothing, know no-one and have no means to support themselves.
We haven't served these people anywhere near as well as we'd like to think we have, and its about time we accepted that instead of acting like country club members who get offended because their favourite charity case doesn't appreciate their efforts enough.
