"don't ever mention this is a room full of conservative"
can't think you can trust me on that lol ;)
"Israel was founded on illegal immigration"
pretty much, especially since the issue regarding relocation of jews was terribly mishandled by the UN & a bunch of European countries; and the majority of the people relocated (if not all) weren't even born there.
"the same conservatives that scream about our southern border have a "I stand with Israel " flag as their profile pic"
the utter irony lol.
"I get into a ton of argument with my brethren on facebook regarding Israel."
Some of my left-leaning friends may disagree with me, though I think illegal immigration is a problem, in regards to how overcrowded our nation could get (especially in the south). Not the worst problem; certainly not one to the extent many would say, but I think the way to solve illegal immigration is to encourage legal immigration (by making it easier) than discouraging illegal immigration. Rewarding positive behavior as opposed to punishing negative; that's my philosophy. It may seem elementary, but it has yet to be applied, and at least I think it's a reasonable middle-ground solution.
