    Why exactly would liberals ship illegal immigrants in to DC?

    Do you seriously believe anyone south of our border will cross illegally just to vote in local elections in a city nearly 2000 miles to the north or that liberals will ship them there? This shouldn't even be a thread.

    it is more about allowing those here illegally in cities to vote, the shipping in was tongue in cheek. i don't care if they have been here 20 years and built lives, they should have long ago applied to be a citizen, unless of course they have somethings to hide.

    by illegal i mean those here in the country that are not US citizens, applying for asylum does not make them such, so no, they should not be afforded rights, ie voting, that actual citizens have, clear?

    So all immigrants are "illegals" prior to citizenship?

    they are not legal citizens, we can play this semantics game all day, until a immigrant has been sworn to be a US citizens they should not have rights of citizens, ie voting.

    Sure, especially in local elections. I don't care about somebody's citizenship status when trying to decide what to do about potholes.

    Because the immigrants will vote Democratic and they can wrest power from the conservatives who have long controlled local DC politics?

    Pelosi says farmers need illegal immigrants ‘to pick the crops’ in Florida | Fox News

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday said that farmers in Florida need illegal immigrants "to pick the crops" as she called for "comprehensive immigration reform" and said there was a shortage of workers in the U.S.

    Pelosi then pressed her economic argument and made reference to recent moves by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republican governors to move illegal immigrants north to places like Martha’s Vineyard, New York City and Washington, D.C.

    Well even your speaker calls them illegals

    Actually, she didn't. Fox News lied to you and you gullibly bought it without reading the rest of the article. Here is the actual quote:

    Notice that the word "illegal" doesn't appear anywhere in the actual quote. Because they weren't illegal immigrants, despite what Fox News claimed.

    Hmmm, so despite spending 3x what we spent in 2005 on the border, it still isn't secure? Man, I wonder how much we will need big government to spend to stop people from trying to meet market demands...

    Apparently not, given that we still have pretty substantial worker shortages.
