I presume you mean anti illegal immigrant sentiment. You guys are always forgetting that little modifier, and it does, ahem, modify the meaning.

Harmful in what way, and to whom?

Why stop doing that when that omission adds *so* massively *and* scrumptiously* to the end emotional reaction?

Thats the *entire* point, OO....

I am still in awe of the 'demonization/padding' pair Lad puts forward.

Anti-immigrant status v. 'sentiment that believes our border policies are harmful'. The sublime change of 'open borders' to 'sentiment that believes our border policies are harmful'..... I think he needs to volunteer more for Robert's campaign with that deft wording....
