Yang makes me believe in UBI. He's useful to your ends.
Maybe, but his proposal will likely be used to remove basic services because 'you get 1k what more do you want? hurr durr hurr.'

He specifically says that's not the case.

That's probably why they muted him. They scurred.

Meanwhile, has anyone checked the economic viability of his proposal? I haven't.

It should not be this hard to beat this guy yet here we are...

Dems can't help but go way overboard in both their characterizing of Trump and responding to every bit of bait he puts out there. They spent 48 hours at the debates chasing so far left that both Obama and Bill Clinton would have been booed off those stages when it comes to Trump's signature focus on immigration. That's not where the country is or wants to be at large, and especially independents.


Easy win...
"Central Americans are people and we are a generous country. We can afford to rapidly process these people and track them to honor our moral and international obligations, then send those back that dont meet the standard. We can create smart work visas like other countries to help fill gaps in our economy even if your aren't a doctor or programmer. We can use technology to increase enforcement of our laws at the border and for visa overstays...this is much more efficient and adaptable than a wall. We understand many are worried about sovereignty and the rule of law being manipulated and we hear you. We can do both at once."
Done.
It just became safe to oppose Trump's position that currently is the "position of strength".

Easy way to give Trump a chance, "hurp derp, everyone that shows up needs to come in and we need to give them citizenship! The only limit is however long it takes to make El salvador not a shithole. Also we are pushing a lot of new programs and those new programs will go to this unchecked flow of undifferentiated immigrants. Again, we won't mention the limit to this growth or spending in anyway, playing into every tax and spend caricature possible"
