I'll admit I don't know much about Ron Johnson, but the fact that he recognized Bret Weinstein on the street, because he's an avid follower, and it was Bret who turned Ron on to believing RFKj's cries about food supply and vaccine/autism dangers, puts him squarely in the "our guys" camp to me. Probably don't agree with everything he says, but this is enough to make me trust him anyway.
Lots of people (I think earnestly) suggest that people who enter the country illegally or overstay a visa shouldn't be deported because they are seeking a better economic condition. I'm generally quite sympathetic to that but a big problem is it still expresses a priority to them over citizens because there isn't a comparable offer to those citizens.
If people get to ignore system laid out for immigration to put themselves in a better position, what is the equivalent for citizens? What rules do we get to ignore to get ahead, even as a one time deal? Basically everything we do is tied up in red tape and we're told that's just part of living in a rules based order. So, even under the fake social contract, liberals are only carving out exceptions for people that ignore it and calling anyone that questions it as a bigoted.
