No, immigration issues cannot be set aside with your last statement. Some of us are perceived to be rallying behind him because we are hopeful he will push for relief. He won; now, we MUST work with him, especially since he seems to be demonstrating a willingness to cooperate on the issue. I have not normalized or internalized anything. Indeed, he is a hugely imperfect person. My only hope is that he pushes for immigration relief for the sake of OUR COMMUNITY. But, if we follow your implied line of reasoning, maybe we should all refuse to work with him and wait 4 to 8 years (very possible he can win re-election) with you until America elects a more likable or leftist candidate THEN and ONLY THEN can we work together on immigration. Viewing politics from a GLOBAL or UNIVERSAL/ALL-OR-NOTHING perspective will not help you, your family, and our families.

Whether you like it or not, we (and our "representatives") have to come to the negotiating table with him if we want a chance at relief. HE IS DEMONSTRATING A WILLINGNESS TO DO SO. Telling him to f**k off and telling him we will never work with him because he is a misogynist, racist, and conservative asshole is suicide. That is the reality. But, we can always be idealistic and just wait in the shadows 4 to 8 years. :- ) -____-
