Actually I was referring mostly to the Internet regulation with regards to blue state legislation, but regardless, yes the sanctuary policies could be considered (in my view) as support for nonenforcement of border controls, or in other words, open borders. I guess it’s not technically open borders if your policy is that you can’t come across unless you manage to survive the dangerous illegal crossing and evade the border patrol, then you can stay. Fine. Guess you got me there.
I don’t really feel like rehashing the open borders motte and bailey that always happens on the internet, yes most Dems don’t support actual open borders but the policies they push for are equivalent. If there’s one thing Americans can agree on, it’s that they like having an underpaid slave caste, even if Republicans do pretend that they are against it.
~25 states (almost all of them red) instituted porn restrictions, including internet age verification laws, in the last few years.
Another handful of states across the red/blue gamut, but actually still red-bent, are pushing for social media restrictions.
What on earth are you talking about? Concretely what are these blue state laws that are so pervasive that you can derive the "mainstream position" from them?
Also why would Berkeley, California have any obligation or interest in enforcing border controls when those are 1) federal laws and 2) the border is 600 miles away?
California’s OS age attestation/age bracket API law, Colorado’s similar law, and the pending laws in Illinois and New York. Michigan had a law in process but pulled it because they decided it was unworkable. Virginia has a social media law that’s tied up in the courts. I’ll add to this the slew of laws targeting 3D printing, which seem to be solely a blue state phenomenon.
Yes, red states have their own age verification laws—I never said they didn’t. Hence why I’m not friendly towards either party.
Constant nitpicking and gaslighting also seem to be typical from modern Dems.
Sorry your example of overbearing suppression of Internet rights is a law that requires OS developers to collect broad age information and then to pass that information to any app developer that requests it (with user permission)?
Sheesh, that's some goofy stuff haha.
