Question for all:
Assuming you support a “side”, be it GOP or DEM....
1. Should your side “win” by whatever means necessary? “Winning” being equated with winning more House or Senate seats.
2. Do you care if fear mongering or racist tactics are used?
3. Do you care if flat out lies are used?
Immigration Policy:
1. What is your position?
2. What good does sending military troops to the border do? Why send them now when the caravan is months away?

1) No, my "side" should not win by any means necessary. My current primary "side" is anti-Trump. He is amoral and should not be the leader of our country.
2) Fear mongering and racist tactics should not be used.
3) Lies should not be used, (really, all of these questions could just have been handled with question #1.
Immigration policy
1) Our country should continue to allow legal entry to this country through a legal and established process. Those in the caravan, if they decide to reach our border, will be seeking asylum. That is legal entry. The more people we have in our country, the more goods and services are sold, and more tax revenue is collected. Also, brand new immigrants typically will work jobs that Americans do not want to work, but we want someone to do. They aren't coming in here and taking good-paying skilled jobs from Americans. BUT, besides it being a benefit to us to have immigrants come here, if they are truly running away from threats to their safety, it is part of who we are and should continue to be as Americans to take them in.
2) It does no good at all to send in the military for any reason, but especially at this juncture. The only reason for Trump to do this is to rile up his base in hopes that they will go vote for Republicans next week. Trump has said he is concerned that terrorists from the middle east could be part of the caravan. Well, we don't have a border wall with Canada. Why can't they come in from there? Many Muslims (see Boston Marathon bombers) are white, so couldn't they easily enter Canada and sneak in over an unsecured border there? His crap is just all about brown people...racist pure and simple and fear mongering to get people to vote for Republicans. Unfortunately he HAS made at least two crazy people afraid to the point they sent bombs and killed 11 Jewish people.
