Associated Press reports:
While 41 percent of Republicans of all ages believe immigrants face a lot of discrimination in the United States, the percentage increases to 60 percent among Republicans between 18 and 29 years old, the survey found. That's a stark contrast to GOP voters 65 and older — only a third of that group says immigrants experience discrimination.
Researchers also found that 74 percent of young whites believe that immigrants are targeted for discrimination a lot, compared to 57 percent of white Americans of all ages. However, among Republicans, only for the youngest group, between 18 and 29, is that view in the majority. Even 30-to-39-year-old Republicans are evenly split, 48 percent to 48 percent, on whether immigrants undergo a lot of discrimination.
[...] "Closed-minded Republicans need to expand their perspective to see how immigrants are helping us all create a better America. I believe that this will change with the younger generation of Republicans," Kromsky said.
[...] According to the PRRI poll, 64 percent of all Americans, regardless of political affiliation and age, believe that immigrants in the U.S. illegally should have a path to citizenship if certain conditions are met; only 16 percent say they should be deported. Among Republicans of all ages, support for a path to citizenship is lower, at 55 percent. But when only Republicans between the ages of 18 to 29 are accounted for, that number rises to 62 percent.
[...] The age gap among Republicans also surfaces on gay rights: 54 percent of Republicans between 18 and 29 believe that gay and lesbian couples should marry, while half as many Republicans older than 65 agree. Younger GOP supporters are more closely aligned with the majority of Americans than their older counterparts: Overall, 58 percent of Americans support gay marriage. However, they are far from the average among young people of all political leanings: 74 percent of them support gay marriage.
From the same source, comes news on a class-action suit challenging a once-secret government program that delayed immigration and citizenship applications by Muslims; a suit that was okayed by a judge in Seattle:
U.S. District Judge Richard Jones in Seattle on Wednesday denied the Justice Department's request to dismiss the lawsuit, which was filed in February by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.
The lawsuit claims the government since 2008 has used the Controlled Application Review and Resolution Program to blacklist thousands of applications for asylum, legal permanent residency or citizenship as national security concerns.
The program imposes criteria on the applications that go far beyond what Congress has authorized, including holding up some applications if the applicants donated to Muslim charities or traveled [sic] to Muslim-majority countries, the complaint alleges.
The program was not publicly discovered until 2012, when an immigration officer discussed it during testimony in a different lawsuit. Immigrant rights advocates then filed Freedom of Information Act lawsuits to force U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to turn over more information about it, the lawsuit said.
In addition to challenging the program, the lawsuit seeks to block any other "extreme vetting" that President Donald Trump's administration might impose as an updated version of it.

LOL riiight, how many christians have shoved a gay off a building this week? Know any Baptists or Jews that have done any suicide bombings? I'll just leave this here [youtube.com], not that you have the actual ability to learn anything that doesn't fit with your political narrative sadly, what with having been programmed to be a beta filled with self loathing by a higher education system that was taken over by Marxists years ago [youtube.com]. This is why two groups, Islamists and progressives, get along so well BTW, both want the destruction of the west, just for different reasons.

Ah, once again, the Hairyfeet Challenge! Can you reboot your culture without it puking its guts right back at you, you aged hippy? I am disgusted by your bigotry! You carried the promise of the Age of Aquarius, the smell of Woodstock, Flower Power, the sexual revolution, and this, at long last, is all you are left with. A fear of a medieval version of a monotheistic religion, the same one that the Children of the Sixties rebelled against, and won! way back when. You are the Old Republican characterized in the study, Hairy, look into the mirror. You have become your father, Hairyfeet.
(Oh, and at least Marxist can read, and do math. It is called, "economics")

Why don't you tell everyone about how you hope the white race is destroyed? You certainly had no qualms bragging about it before. C'mon cuck, lets hear your racist diatribes against all people that look like you do in the mirror.

Hairyfeet! My, how you have fallen from the old days of shilling for Microsoft! You are reduced to this? OK, to make you feel better, I call for the White Genocide! Yep, kill whitey! Because, you know, there really are no "white" people. There are Britons, and Saxons, and Gaels, and Friesians, and Belgians, and Franks and Goths and Slovenians. Race is not culture, nor ethnicity, nor national identity. So I say, kill it. Death to the White Race, and may it never raise its ugly head again! Death to what never really existed in the first place. Now I hope you, my dear and furry Feet with Hair person, do not identify with this artificial category of skin color, because that would make you racist. And that is about the worst thing an old Hippy can end up being. Say "Hi!" to Archie Bunker for me, Meathead!

Oh fuck you. At one point after my daddy threw me out of his home and he learned that I hadn't starved to death in a gutter yet, he was threatening to drive to my apartment 50 miles away and finish the job himself.
My daddy isn't the only Christian who's threatened me with violence upon realizing that I'm not the womyn-born-womyn I appear to be. How dare you suggest that Christians are pro-LGBT?
And what do you assholes constantly cite, when you're not being disingenuous hypocrites and suggesting you're pro-LGBT? You cite acceptance of trans women and gay men as your evidence of “Marxism.” You assholes bought into the feminist narrative hook, line, and sinker about bathroom rape. Go to hell.

I have absolutely nothing to add to this. The "Hairyfeet Challenge" has been definitively answered by kurenai. I hope to never hear of it again.
