Yup this is an excellent tactic. You can use it well on Immigration topics.
Me "I think we must search out every home in America that has extra bedrooms and or space that can be used to house them. Oh wait! You have that extra two bedrooms now that the kids are in college right? Excellent when are you going to volunteer to take them in? After all they are just looking for a better life and you can easily provide that for them. In fact! Lets just do this in general beyond an immigrant. Walk into town and find a homeless person. Take them in. Also, don't lock your doors at night because someone might be fleeing virulent racists that are about to kill them for no reason and your door might just be the one that saves them from racism death."
Its funny because they are so stupid.
