What are you talking about? Go back and read the thread. I was in the middle of a conversation about inflation and then Serm went off a pet-eating tangent.

Is Abbott trying to prevent new Mexicans or New Mexicans? Or both?

What’s the difference between those two things? It’s obviously done to stop migrants from Central America coming into Texas but I bet Kwark would argue that once the migrants get into New Mexico they have become New Mexican

I didn't know if there was going to be a distinction between *immigrants entering the country illegally* vs. *legal migrants moving from one state to another*. The Haitian migrants in Ohio who are here legally, for example, may be affecting those cities in positive and negative ways, but it wouldn't make sense to kick them out of the country... because they're legally allowed to be here. (As opposed to illegal immigrants... although Trump has said he wants to deport people who are here legally too.)

There's a pretty big clue here. The fencing is set up along the banks of the Rio Grande river. If you're here legally you generally wouldn't cross from one state to another by wading through a dangerous river.

One would assume Haitians who can migrate legally don’t fly in to Mexico just to bound the Rio Grande as some sort of challenge.

Abbott has been erecting barbed wire and checkpoints between Texas and New Mexico to prevent new Mexicans entering Texas from that route. Is Abbott trying to prevent new Mexicans or New Mexicans? Or both? What’s the difference between those two things? It’s obviously done to stop migrants from Central America coming into Texas but I bet Kwark would argue that once the migrants get into New Mexico they have become New Mexican I didn't know if there was going to be a distinction between *immigrants entering the country illegally* vs. *legal migrants moving from one state to another*. The Haitian migrants in Ohio who are here legally, for example, may be affecting those cities in positive and negative ways, but it wouldn't make sense to kick them out of the country... because they're legally allowed to be here. (As opposed to illegal immigrants... although Trump has said he wants to deport people who are here legally too.) There's a pretty big clue here. The fencing is set up along the banks of the Rio Grande river. If you're here legally you generally wouldn't cross from one state to another by wading through a dangerous river. One would assume Haitians who can migrate legally don’t fly in to Mexico just to bound the Rio Grande as some sort of challenge.
It's worth noting that DPB mentioned that the Haitian migrants are "here legally" not that they "migrated legally." 300,000 Haitians already living here were given temporary protective status by the Biden administration which protects them from deportation and allows them to legally work. His post reads as "we shouldn't deport people that we've just given protection against deportation to"

And I bet you would argue that Hitler was right, thus making you the bad guy. Checkmate.
If you're going to engage in imagining an argument that some other person made then do it properly.

What's your point then? You said "New Mexicans" with a capital N. Do you believe Abbot is trying to prevent the legal residents of New Mexico from coming into Texas?

Kwarks point was clearly the (funny) ambiguity of having the "new" as the first word in the post, which would be capitalized in both cases being the first word.
"New Mexicans" at the beginning of a post/sentence can mean "new Mexicans" and "New Mexicans" both. That is kinda funny as a reply to a post asking which is meant.

Yup, hence my "Touché." response.

as a person who generally avoids capital letters as a rule, that sailed right over my head. so i too appreciate the clarity.

What’s the grief against Mexican immigrants?
In Europe there is an anti immigrant sentiment that is directed towards Muslims and black people. But i assume the basis for the hostility towards Latino migrants is built on as different basis.
It feels kind of strange from him because you would never have, say, an anti Spanish sentiment in France and the target of the anti immigration sentiment are people who are culturally further away.

They are darker. They speak spanish. There is a perception they drive down wages.
Not saying any of those things are valid reasons to discriminate but thats what I would expect as an American.

You're forgetting that they're all drug dealers.
