There's A Reason Americans Pass By Homeless People In The Street Without A Second Glance

107. You refer to "traditionally Democratic positions" and raise a good point especially with any

opposition to progressive taxation and taxing the wealthy.

Please excuse me for asking, but when did favoring or excusing "illegal immigrants" ever become a traditional Democratic position?

Isn't that a more recent position of Third-Way Democrats?

Reagan was a Republican. Wasn't he the Republican President who gave amnesty to illegal aliens? Wasn't that a Republican position?

Illegal aliens benefit the super-rich at the expense of the American working class. Some will make excuses such as "we are all immigrants" while falsely equating earlier immigration which has happened since the 1600's with the current illegal immigration.

If Third-Way Democrats want to embrace and extend Reagan's amnesty, or if other Democrats who have been influenced by their rhetoric or influenced for any other reason to embrace and extend Reagan's amnesty, why should we do so?

When, if ever, did this become a "traditional Democratic position"?

In 1941, FDR rejected the illegal immigration of the Japanese whose first effort was to bomb Pearl Harbor. Neither he nor other Democrats with traditional Democratic values have been in favor of illegal immigration. Why should we?
