What's this?

Easy way for Dems to expose this RWNJ conspiracy theory for what it is.

Step 1: agree that no one that came here illegally can become a citizen. Lifelong legal resident status is fine, and allows them to "come out of the shadows" and not be exploited.

Step 2: agree that no one here illegally be counted on the census for determining house seats or apportionment of tax dollars. After a period of time, in years, they can receive legal resident status to be counted towards those two items. In the meantime they can be given temporary probationary status to work legally, stay clean from violating laws, and pay taxes to achieve full legal residency.

How many lefties here are on board? Because if you're not, you're only showing the "conspiracy theory" to be true.
