We have homeless, we have veterans, we have addicts, we have people with mental health issues and we have illegal immigrants. The latter gets much more vocal support from progressives over fellow americans. We can have an influence on how we treat compatriots. So while some progressives want to subsidize services out of our tax dollars for people who have not contributed to our society, they don’t fight for fellow Americans in need with the same vigor, nor do they even denounce the policies or governments in those countries which contribute to those counties’ economic malaise —quite the opposite, some admire Chavista and Catroist policies.
I have never seen or heard of progressives voting down on programs meant to help the homeless, veterans, addicts, people with mental health issues, or illegal immigrants. I do see progressives being more vocal about illegal immigrants because that is the only group that is vilified by the current administration. Illegal immigrants do contribute to society by being nanny's, cleaning houses, working at farms, and paying sales tax.
Disagree. Progressives very actively campaign on helping all of those groups of people. It's the centrist democrats who are focusing solely on illegal immigrants--to the neglect of the others--because it's a corporate-friendly issue.
