'The wrong thing to do': Why Sen. Britt should stop doubling down on State Of The Union response

March 11th, 2024 at 3:20PM

The implication that all or most or some or even one illegal immigrant is a violent criminal doesn't actually logically support her belief or conclusion or whatever the point one tries to prove in a debate is called, that illegal immigration is an urgent problem. If you focus only on the "urgency" feeling or idea, though, while including the goal of a rebuttal (😂) is supposed to be to rebut(?) an opposing position -- and also the fact that it's already illegal is not mind-bogglingly irrelevant -- then the content and style of her performance is not as nonsensical as it first appears to anyone who thinks illegal immigration is not an urgent problem. We just need to define the issue more clearly.
