Who do you hate most, McCain or those who voted for him?
Wrong.
Any sane immigration law would encourage the immigration of young and productive people who would contribute to the economy and pay taxes for 40+ years.
Our current immigration law has a byzantine quota system that discourages young people and focuses on "family reunification" rigmarole that brings granny from Karachi or Warsaw to the USA just in time for her to start collecting Social Security.
The system is broken and the laws are stupid.
I don't want to enforce a broken law Ted Kennedy wrote 40 years ago.
I want a smart law now.
A perfect manifestation of your manifest confusion (or, at least, the chiefest aspect of same, at any rate). I don't "hate" McCain.
I have a good many postings, adequately addressing just what it is, specifically, I object to re: John McCain as a politcian; a "conservative": and a candidate. Genuinely interested? Get cracking.
You can say that but it is not believable.
We're not wanting to execute or imprison them.
We want then to go back to their homes, families, friends, schools, Churches, jobs, et al to help make their countries great.
WHAT YOU CHANGED IT INTO: "If you think Latinos are going anywhere [...]"
Why did you intentionally make that (dishonest) switch?
You can say that but it is not believable.
Not even remotely my problem, peanut.
“There are not two to three billion job offers on the table in the US. Hence, these people do not meet my criteria. “
You’re correct on the job offer criteria, but you’re still talking nonsense. There are billions who would like to come here, and for too many years we’ve allowed business interestes to all but dictate our immigration policies.
And you’re totally wrong that denying entry to well intentioned people is “not the American way.” Immigration quotas were kept at 200,000 and below from the 1920s until 1965, and they remained below 500,000 until the GHWB administration when they were raised to around 800,000, and as business interests have gained more and more influence, the totals have exceeded one million and up to one and a-half million.
It is definitely the American to way cut back on immigration when that is deemed desirable.
The high immigration levels at present have existed for only about 20 of the past 90 years, since about 1989.
“I want a smart law now. “
You’re mixing immigration and illegal immigration. Enforcement of our existing laws will work for II. Yes, our legal immigration system is FUBAR.
Let’s hear it.
What is your ‘smart law’? How many will you allow legally to enter the country each year? Do you plan on making them all ‘citizens’ since you said we need them here for 40 years?
Liberals should love the idea of sending the illegals home. A few of the liberal causes:
Twenty million illegals going home would help us to greatly to reduce the dreaded urban sprawl.
Just think how happy the Gorebots would be with the CO2 reduction of twenty million less people.
Many liberals, Ted Turner for one, are very much in favor of limiting our population, sending twenty million folks back to their homes is right in line with that thinking.
Sounds like you might be delusional or did you have one too many? I was referring to illegal aliens - and no, this is not their country. The day might well come sooner than most expect when people have had enough and start shipping them off. Not hard to do through various means. By illegal aliens I refer to everyone illegally - blond Russian Mafia the MS13 who terrorize our communities, etc.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that gambling is going on in the casino.
It would shock me to learn that folks in politics are NOT takiang money.
You said, “If you think Latinos are going anywhere you’re delusional. This is just as much our country as yours.”
Whoa? You must be looking for a fight, because the poster you addressed never mentioned ‘Latinos’! He did talk about illegal aliens....do you identify with them? Is this their country as much as it is mine? NO ONE has suggested that the Latinos go anywhere, and for you to suggest it is wrong and baiting at best and racist at it’s core.
Now, if you’re an illegal alien who has broken my nations laws, you can go to Mexico, Iran, Ireland, to hell for all I care or wherever you came from.
Too bad you think this situation is about ‘Latinos’....you sound like McCain. It isn’t the fault of any US citizen, me, Dante3, or any of us that MOST illegal aliens who are breaking our laws and our stealing our identities and communities happen to be LATINO’s. I suggest you take that problem up with them.
This is what Dante’ posted and you twisted out of shape to fit your agenda.
“Great summary. We already have too many people. Catering to illegal aliens who consume our limited resources and will not improve our gene pool is perverted. They invade our country and then demand special perks, that we learn their language, that we pay for their bills. Just because Mexico want to get rid of its misfits and surplus population and perform ethnic cleansing, does not me we have to take responsibility for them.”
Now that you’re here you are a gringo, deal with it.
“If you think Latinos are going anywhere you’re delusional. This is just as much our country as yours.”
Taking a look at the countries which really are Latino, it’s easy to understand why you’d want to claim the USA, even though it is in no way a Latino country.
Maybe we all should write in Jim Robinson.
Thanks for making that so clear. I though there was only one person left on this forum who says such nonsense. McCain must be inspiring his minions.
See post 114
Let me guess. You are with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which is America’s greatest advocate for open borders and modern day slavery?
This makes me want to vomit. All over John McCain.
