debating liberals vs me on immigration

ya this debate has gone from illegal immigration->people in jail->to drugs-> to race; which is not why i started this thread in the first place. Some people don't understand how to read Ie the ones calling people racists and from my conclusion i think that they should become US citizens if they pay the fines taxes everything they have owed they follow the same rules i have no problem

Re: debating liberals vs me on immigration

You won't get any argument from me...and I'll add the problems a certain group living in our inner cities cause too. Unfortunately, they're citizens...so we keep dragging them along. Completely foreign to "us", but citizens none the less.

Re: debating liberals vs me on immigration

Yes, Mao led a revolution. People die in revolutions. There were also major famines. Why are these things the fault of Mao?

Sorry, off-topic. But I always think it's silly when people bring up how many people died under a certain leader to make them look bad. Not saying he wasn't, there's plenty of things to critique Mao on, but not war and famine. These things have always occurred throughout human history and it takes more than one person to start a war and nobody is capable of controlling how successful harvests are - only the earth.

Re: debating liberals vs me on immigration

so your saying that every illegal immigrant in USA is a rapist and a crook? what rock do you live under? did you not know that citizens of usa are rapists also? but know, focus on the latino population, since they are evil doers, right? most of the people in prison for rape are Caucasian citizens of the united states of america. dont believe me? too fucking bad. Oh and look at this, the guys who supposidly defend your nations are rapists, hooligans, and criminals also, this guy is also white! what a shocker! and of course, he is a citizen of USA.

wo wo wo before you go off on your little tangent
did i say every illegal immigrant? No
Did i even mention the latino population? No
I do know that Citizens of the USA are felons and i do not agree that we should pay for there housing and food either and i did not say that they weren't
Why are YOU pointing out that whites do everything?

So before you happen to open your mouth again and let the stupidity flow i suggest you stop and think and instead of pointing the finger at someone else and bring up a totally different argument prove me wrong with what the topic was about in the first place

Two thirds of all immigrants are illegal. Most go on to become legal and be productive members of society. Most of the violent crime problem with illegals (and legal citizens as well) is associated with a failed War on Drugs. So before you try to tell someone to not point fingers, why don't you take your own advice. Either don't point any fingers, or point fingers at everyone, the illegal immigrants growers and distributors, the legal permanent resident and citizen who use, and the biggest culprits of them all, the politicians in DC.

Other random points that are related:

Just as many, if not more tax dollars are wasted on citizens who squandered their public school "educations" and/or end up in jail, welfare, etc.

Illegal immigrants don't hold a monopoly on violent crime, and are often the victims of violent crimes themselves, both from other illegals and the legal citizens.

Seriously, you're totally disregarding the real problem, a corrupt and broken system, that doesn't work the way most people would want it to, whether you want to believe it because of incompetence on the part of political officials, or intentionally created to meet sinister goals by the ruling elite. So why do you think this problem exist, the former or the latter? Cuz that'll explain who you ultimately end up blaming aka pointing fingers at.

first of all, not everyone who doesn't want the Great Wall of America installed along the border is a "liberal".

I want to know what exactly this "close the borders" talking point which is echoed so often actually means. Does that mean literally, you're not going to allow goods or people back and forth? What the hell? What does "close the borders" mean, if it isn't refusing people or goods from traveling in and out of the US and Mexico? How does one even accomplish this? How many billions of dollars would "closing the border" cost us?



Do you realize how much damage that would have on both of our economies?

For the first half of what you said i agree politicians are horrid and the corrupt and broken system

for the rest of it, illegal immigrants use more welfare and free education than any legal citizen.

Tightened as in KNOW whos coming in and whos leaving with what, is what i mean by closing the borders

and creating a border would cost roughly 40 billion dollars ironically what was used for a stimulus bill

Re: debating liberals vs me on immigration

You wrote "close the borders", not "tighten the borders".

So how do we "know who's coming and leaving with what"? Don't they already check passposts going in and out of Mexico and sometimes search your car? What are you proposing here?

So how is this 40 billion dollar wall going to keep people out? If you build a 10 foot wall, the people who want into this country will get a 10 foot ladder. If you bury it the wall one foot into the ground, they will dig one foot underground to get past it. This 40 billion dollar wall is costly and will not be effective.

I'm not going to argue with you about welfare and public school education. For the most part, I'm against most of welfare and the nanny state, and much of what passes as "education" in this country, most notably the example set by the public school system. Honestly, I think you're just concentrating on the symptoms of much more significant problems in this country, and just like every other "horrid" politician, your solution is a simple band aid to alleviate the symptoms, rather than solve the causes of the problems.

Think about how hypocritical it is for a country that forcefully polices the whole world, and aggressively intervenes in the affairs of other nations, with both economic and military might, to have "tightened borders". I'd argue that the US's foreign policy has helped to create the destitute conditions in other nations that motivates their citizens to immigrate to this country. Not surprising from the United States of Hypocrisy tho.

Re: debating liberals vs me on immigration

The way I see it, it's pretty much impossible to stop illegal immigration, unless you build a giant concrete wall across the whole length of the Canadian and Mexican borders and search every last thing coming in via air and sea.

And it just seems like there's gotta be a better way to mitigate the impacts of illegal immigration than doing that, and people really desperate to get in will find a way to tunnel underneath the walls.

The biggest problem I've heard from people who have tried to apply for visas is the cost.

I know middle-class Europeans who have done it. They weren't happy about the cost but they could afford it. A family from the Indian lower-middle-class wouldn't be able to afford it, however, even if they were otherwise perfectly-qualified for a visa. It's just too expensive for a lot of people in the third world, and I don't believe all that cost is necessary.

I don't believe just anybody should be allowed to come here. But I would be amazed if a good number of the people here illegally were people who didn't try to come here legally first and were turned down because they couldn't afford the bureaucracy for it. There oughtta be some kind of provision for them.

How about we try and trim a little fat from the Defense budget or something and use the funds to help poor people come here, eh?

Yeah, like I said, two thirds of all immigrants are illegal. Most come in perfectly legal and safe ways, but simply stay beyond the terms of their visa. Most go on to become legal citizens and productive members of society. The process for coming in legally is ridiculous, and is a perfect example of a system that doesn't work the way it claims it's supposed to. This notion that the majority of illegal immigrants come in rickety boats, or risk life and death crossing borders in horrid conditions is pure myth. Not to say that none of them do, but you'd swear the way our government and the citizens talk about it, most illegal immigrants do, when that's just simply false.

How many more "citizens" are there than illegals? Of course citizens commit more crimes, there are more of them...orders of magnitude more. Besides, technically, EVERY illegal is a criminal. And the other point is...were the illegal not here, that crime wouldn't have been committed.

Close the border means just that...closed, no access besides official entry points.

So I guess we need to get more serious with these people who will do ANYTHING to sneak in. Maybe WE need to get more serious about keeping them out...maybe we need to do ANYTHING to keep them out? How about a reverse Berlin wall? We shoot to keep you out instead of to keep you in?

If these people actually wanted to be Americans, I wouldn't have the problem I do with them. But they don't, they want to be Mexicans living in America. This is the problem I have with blacks too...they Don't want to be Americans, they want to be blacks living in America.

Of course we only "solve" the symptoms. What can you do to raise a group up...who don't have the means (intellect) to be equal? All you succeed in is lowing everyone else to their level...and that causes frustration. When will we admit it?

If the world was all "white european", it would be a much better place. I approve of what the US has done.
