You don't get to believe both of these opinions at the same time

Group 1:

Claim 1: Racial Diversity is a strength in the classroom!

Claim 2: Students learn best when their teacher is the same race as them.

Reason: A racially diverse classroom will have some students not the same race as their teacher.

Group 2:

Claim 1: The republicans freed the slaves during the Civil War and this is why the Civil war was fought.

Claim 2: The Civil War was not about slavery.

Reason: I don't think I need to explain.

At least PragerU takes the position I agree with here: Was the Civil War About Slavery? (youtube.com)

Group 3:

Claim 1: Undocumented immigrants (UIs) should get deported.

Claim 2: The death penalty should be abolished.

Claim 3: Murder is worse than coming here illegally and murderers should be treated worse.

Reason: If you want UIs deported, then you don't want them getting free healthcare.  If you are against the death penalty, then you support murderers getting free healthcare.

This claim goes against Claim 3, which I believe is a tautoligy.

This is weak as hell.

You could replace "healthcare" with "mac & cheese".

In the lego world you've constructed there is a simple answer: exile the murderers. Then you don't have to kill them and you don't have to provide healthcare. Not a serious suggestion, just a suggestion fit for the absurd rails you think you've constrained the issues to.

You are correct.  I don't want UIs or murderers getting free mac and cheese.

I believe murderers should be put to death and UIs should be left alone.

To where?  No country is going to want our murderers.  I believe murderers that get exiled to the US should get killed.

Wherever the illegal migrants are coming from. Concentrate the shitiness, maybe they'll kill each other so our conscience will be clean.

I guarantee you the vast majority of the UIs aren't murderers.

Now, the ones that are should be executed with the firing squad or beheading (all murderers and rapists should get this punishment).

But I guarantee you the vast majority aren't harmful, and all harmless people should be left alone by the state.

They're running away from the murderers (or slaves of the murderers)

One can believe anything.

Because belief is no guarantee of anything.

Possible, so there should be an anti ICE policy then while murder and rape is handled with the death penalty by the police?

My point is there are contradictions present.
