Yes, please let's tell families and children attempting who are waiting in line in a legal manner to "go fuck yourselves" because we now have to deal with people who couldn't wait
Icy and I aren't arguing for that, though.

We're saying we should just split the difference, and make immigration fucking simpler.

Also, lol, immigrants are pretty much universally positive for the economy.
You are. That is the end result of allowing these people to stay. U6 unemployment numbers over 10fucking% and CHILD homelessness totals over 2.2 million. How is adding more people, who most likely have no degrees, can't speak English, and have no special skills equals to economic positive?

I dunno. Let's ask the immigrants from 1910 who likely had no degrees, barely spoke English, and had no special skills.

Hey, immigrants are necessary for an economy, whether or not you want to accept it. They're more than willing to do some of the shittiest jobs that the typical America would scoff at.
The beauty of this is that I don't agree with you. I actually think skilled immigration is a larger factor at play.

But that's just it, we don't need to agree as long as we concede immigration is beneficial. Immigrants boost nominal income, and skilled or not, that's what matters.

Both unskilled and skilled immigration do have benefits to the economy, so yes. Agree to disagree.

Their spending is your income.

Yes please, let's tell American families that they can't get a job now because 10-15 million people deserve far more than them, especially when homelessness and unemployment (over 10%) are out of fucking control. Let's totally add more economic devestation


What part of "Huge drug wars" didn't get across? The mass graves part? Or the overall rampant amount of killing?

The process of "legal immigration" to the United States is fucking ridiculous in the cost, length, and process - to the point where people are desperate to get here that they'll jump the border over the appalling and shitty conditions they face.

Hey, immigrants are necessary for an economy, whether or not you want to accept it. They're more than willing to do some of the shittiest jobs that the typical America would scoff at.
Yeah, not our fucking problem that other countries have issues. Why do you think the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have been unpopular?

America isn't a damn charity, it isn't a vacation resort, it's a nation with citizens, an economy, and many other things that need to be take account of when discussing immigration. You don't see people getting upset at Mexico putting illegals behind bars, or people bitching that the British government reserves jobs to British citizens or citizens of the EU. But somehow, America just HAS to be different

This isn't about "MUH FEELINGS" it's about realizing our economy can't fucking support more people

That's exactly my point. Immigration is pretty much as clear-cut an issue as you can get in economics, so we can afford to disagree about the nuances as much as we want.

I find it incredibly worrying that you could potentially think a genocide, or serious humanitarian violations, in other countries isn't our problem.

I don't know what you're talking about, but if you mean we give immigrative priority to citizens of the EU then fucking speak for yourself. I bitch about that all the time.

You mean the same immigrants who wanted to integrate themselves in American society?
You mean the same immigrants who basically forbid any language but English in their homes?
You mean the same immigrants who put heavy importance on education and discipline?
You mean the same America that wasn't burden by economic hardship?
You mean the same America that had the capability to house more immigrants?

Yeah, the 1910s are SOOOOO the same as today

You know you could solve all of those problems and still have a fairly liberal immigration policy, right?

We aren't defending open borders.

No, but we are morally and legally obligated to act in instances of genocide.

You honestly think the drug war, something that is CAUSING an influx of drugs and immigrants over our border, something that is CAUSING violence and lawlessness directly along the border, is not out problem?

Seriously? This is just one example. Problems in other countries directly affect your country, whether you want to admit it or not - on top of moral and ethical obligations

I'd also like to point out you could largely stabilise the economy (if you believe immigration causes economic issues) through proper government policy.

By what, removing Spanish translations from documents, signs, ads, etc? As much as I would love that, the P.C crowd would scream bloody murder

Effectively you are by allowing everybody who enters illegally to be scott-free. This only teaches illegals that coming here illegally means they will eventually be able to stay

Or, on the other hand, you could liberalise the fucking immigration laws so people aren't overly-tempted to get in illegally.

Just what about this aren't you getting?

Then work with the foreign government by sending in food, aid, and even military support to establish emergency camps

But our "border" is a fucking joke. Just in the past few weeks, 2 California cops were killed by an illegal who has been deported twice. He managed to get back in the country a 3rd time and the feds have said that if he is ever extradited to them then they would let him return to Mexico and in effect, possibly come back and commit more crimes

On top of that, you have the very possibility of extremists and gang members fitting in with these illegals now, causing a major domestic and criminal issue

Or, we can direct more funds to border security and adopt harsher personalities for those who break federal law

It's no surprise I fucking resent illegals. Half of my family are immigrants and they never had the help and ease like illegals get. It's fucking pathetic and shows the government wants to reward criminal behavior while making it difficult for those who want to come legally to do so

Are you ignorant of, or just ignoring the fact, that said government will likely be complicit in such instances of genocide and, if that isn't the case, then a neighbouring government likely will and most likely be able to overpower the offended nation?

1. Move funds
2. Build camera and tracking systems at certain intervals
3. Hire people to watch said camera and systems
4. Dispatch team when something is picked up

It's pants on the head easy

Why not just build a forty foot tall concrete wall while you're at it? Some land mines? I'm sure they'll work just as well.

Simply saying "We need to up border security!" is not going to fix the damn problem. The current process to actually immigrate here is broken.

Democrats want to pass all these fucking laws yet the current ones are not being enforced effectively
And yet Obama has presided over one of the largest peacetime outflows of people in America's history.
And yet illegal immigration jumps for third year in a row  under Obama

Yes, please. Let us turn away families and children attempting to escape huge drug wars in Central America with next to nothing. A great nation like America should not try and help them.
Yes, please let's tell families and children attempting who are waiting in line in a legal manner to "go fuck yourselves" because we now have to deal with people who couldn't wait

Yes please, let's tell American families that they can't get a job now because 10-15 million people deserve far more than them, especially when homelessness and unemployment (over 10%) are out of fucking control. Let's totally add more economic devestation

1) Tell that to the people running from cartel death squads

2) "Dey took er jabs" was always a bs excuse.

Punishment generally doesn't work as much of a deterrent. Restributive justice is a joke.

Even if it did it wouldn't change the motives for people coming here illegally.

You could have a liberal immigration system and still punish people for breaking it, if you really can't stop your sadistic streak from breaking through.

And, I can't stress this enough, it's overwhelmingly easier and more beneficial just to adopt sensible immigration and economic policies. You can paint it out to be easy, but your plan is incredibly convoluted.

I'm not opposed to a wall being constructed. We have them in some places but they're just fences that people can climb

How is it broken? You apply for greencard, you wait 5 years so government can monitor you, then you apply for citizenship. And the costs come absolutely nowhere near the amount these people pay to get smuggled across
