Your response perplexes me. The original post was unequivocally repugnant and untrue. I find it astonishing that my reply could be of any concern to you, especially given your apparent enjoyment of critical discourse. Is the expectation here that we should uniformly agree, avoiding any form of dissent or critique?
You didn't see that the comments that worried you were put in there as snark. Yes, nowadays it's hard to tell snark and satire from reality, reality now being so crazy.
I understand. I'm not criticizing you, just pointing out that sometimes it's hard to recognize someone doing a variation on DeFoe's "Modest proposal" to point out the stupidity of the other side's argument.
Yes.

Are you serious? I humbly apologize. I lived in Texas in the 80s and 90s so migrants are an important issue for me.

I did not stop and think about a different meaning than face value. UGH!
Gotta "step up" - there's a bunch of extra-smart subscribers around. ;-)
ЁЯлб Yes, sir!
Swift's Modest Proposal. Some of umpty years of grad school has stuck.
