The GOP attitude toward Dreamers is just another side of their bigotry, hate, and short-thinking ignorance. We, as a society, want people to have access to health care for a multitude of reasons. But not the good ol' GOP shitheads.

When veterans cant get healthcare and illegals can, theres something very wrong. What should happen is them getting deported. Otherwise, it just encourages more illegal immigrants.

Does it not strike you as odd to say "we as a society want X, except for [approximately half of the people in our society who want the opposite of X]"?

Not really. People who don't want healthcare are saying they don't really care if diseases and misery spread to all and show an incredible, painful ignorance of science. Fuck 'em.

Yeah, you can't apeal to "society has decided X" as an argument, if you also hold that half the people in society don't count because you disagree with them. That's actually the opposite of what 'society' means in that context.

OK, I guess I should say "civilization" instead.

Ah, Ye Olde sophist personal attack, the bastion of those with no argument to make.

Welp, you've convinced me.

It's not a personal attack. It's a statement of fact. Don't like it? Don't lie.
