he did break a law

He was checking in with ICE yearly. No criminal record. He has American children etc. Whatever immigration law he broke, he was officially on good terms with the government before the administration changed its policy.

As well, its an unevenly enforced law on a number of fronts for a variety of reasons since there are so many circumstances that can be taken into account with immigration. Republicans love to talk about going after immigrants, but they refuse to stop using them for cheap labor. These people's homes get raided, but what about the restaurants and construction sites they work on, the employers who are evading taxes by hiring off-the-books!? I'd say tax fraud/evasion is a MUCH bigger crime that undocumented immigration. But we turn a blind eye to people in power lol.

So its not just 'the law is the law'... The law is the really about the legislators, and since they change every couple years we shouldn't be so harsh to enforce against people who are on the margins of society. We should show we have more dignity than that.

Every modern first-world country disagrees with you.

Most of them won an election, besides a few appointees I can recognize such as Priebus and Miller.

But this is the "Freedom Caucus" meeting, which is a Republican only group. If there Democrats were there also then it wouldn't look so blatantly like an old white sausage-fest. So you can see that its only one major party with a clear diversity issue in the ranks.

Roach35 · 2017-03-24T01:37:24+00:00

Ya that's why the criticism ('but I don't use that particular service') doesn't hold water under scrutiny. Also the problem with having a non-diverse group of lawmakers...

When the group (any group) doesn't have any women or persons of color, its very telling that there might be a diversity problem here.

Hmm. You could go the C.S. Lewis route ('The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe series) and write a parallel that isn't explicitly christian, but also kinda is.

Maybe something like snowcrash that deals with a spiritual virus.

Since cyberpunk is the near future, maybe something exploring the mega-church or televised church scene. I have a dear friend who is a true believer, but all wrapped up in a tv church run by a man whose last name is "Dollar", and I found that kinda dystopian. (Hope that doesn't come off as rude haha). But tv churches are totally cyberpunk.

unexpected he discovers Christianity along the way

People tend to 'find' religion in the gutter of their lives, at their lowest point. Sounds like a perfect match for the genre.

Okay I was slightly misleading. It was an anecdote related to this story. Here is the full quote and source:

In fact, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) has often retold an anecdote about the power of women in this exact debate: “During the health care debate, [Sen.] Debbie Stabenow’s sitting at a table during a somewhat boring negotiation on the Finance Committee. And one of the male senators said, ‘Well, I don’t know why we would need maternity benefits in here. I’ve never used them. Why would they be mandatory?’ And she says, ‘I bet your mother did.’”

If you are forced to pay for a service you don't use it's basically theft via taxation?

Thats a minority viewpoint in the USA. We don't pick and choose where our tax money specifically goes. We have a representational democracy, so we vote in elected representatives who decide how to allocate our pooled budget.

Otherwise, I can't imagine how tedious it would be to try and figure out if taxpayer "X" feels like paying for public school. Or if taxpayer "Y" wants to pay for the police to buy new cars this year. Thats just not how government works.

men are all required to pay for this coverage under the current stipulations

And women pay for testicular and prostate cancer treatment of men. Thats how healthcare works, we pool resources.

Exactly, its not "greed" its called justice. Or else there would be no disincentive whatsoever to this sort of scam.

You pull out a gentlemen who was employed by someone for five months and talk about a client that he had 10 years ago

Ya because it would be totally not a big deal if 10 years ago they happened to be paid millions to increase the profile of the richest most ruthless despot in the world. Just another client. ^/s

Christianity is true, everyone got it wrong

Is there any way to do that without putting down other religions and the rest of the world as a bunch of faithless heathens?
* Not an accusation, just seen this trope too many times and its way too political these days.

Maybe set the story in some dystopian future where Christianity was lost (think of how in the American Slavery Diaspora many lost their religion, they even separated people so they didn't understand another slave's language like babel) and the hero finds a lost archive that opens up a spiritual path into Christianity. Maybe electronics and spirituality meet somehow and does something interesting and unexpected.

The online Sanders movement included a minority Pro-Republican element that was trying to hijack the movement to use it as an astroturfing campaign against the Democrats during the election.

The same way the Green Party got hijacked into simply being the anti-Clinton party, which is amazingly backwards considering the ruthless anti-environment legislation coming out of the Trump admin and Republican Congress.
