Is immigration a right or a privilege? And is illegal immigration a nuisance or a crime?

Some people on this board attribute brexit to xenophobia and racism 100 percent. Progressives generally support immigration as a principle, but has left the working class behind. So my questions are:


1) Is immigration a right or a privilege?


2) Illegal immigration, nuisance or crime?


Thanks.

Are you a member of the Third Way?

Are you?


Here, for starters
In politics, the Third Way is a position akin to centrism that tries to reconcile right-wing and left-wing politics by advocating a varying synthesis of right-wing economic and left-wing social policies.[1][2] The Third Way was created as a serious re-evaluation of political policies within various centre-left progressive movements in response to international doubt regarding the economic viability of the state; economic interventionist policies that had previously been popularized by Keynesianism and contrasted with the corresponding rise of popularity for economic liberalism and the New Right.[3]

So if young people didn't want Brexit

Why didn't they vote? If you want your voice heard, then vote.

Tim Kaine is pro life

Hillary can't choose him imo

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/284379-abortion-is-weakness-for-clinton-vp-favorite
While Kaine does not back overturning the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, he is personally opposed to the practice and has backed controversial restrictions, such as parental ­notification laws and a ban on late-term abortions.
A range of groups supporting abortion rights, including EMILY’s List, NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood, declined to comment or did not respond to inquiries when asked if they had concerns about Kaine’s record on abortion — a silence that suggests there are Clinton picks they’d prefer to Kaine, who is reportedly being vetted for the position.

If the Left does not wake up about Islam, Trump will win

My cousin said this this afternoon. Many people are sick of this and Trump makes it easy with the bans and the killing their families. Trump knows how to channel feelings and rage, Hillary does not. Americans are a reactive bunch, let's hope this doesn't mean trump becomes President. We should know better, but so many are easily swayed.


How is the left going to respond to this without making Trump look good.

Trump says he told you so!

Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!
