I made my argument.
It goes like this:
There are approximately eight billion people in the world. About half would come to the U.S. if we let them all in. Who do we let in?
Do we keep the borders open and let anyone who can cross become a citizen as long as they look like they might vote democrat.
Is that about as racist/illegal as you can get? Does that even get close to present laws on the books? Not hardly.
Presently we are top heavy with Central and South Americans coming across in big numbers. In Central America and many parts of South America there is war strife,poverty and many make a case for bringing them here. Problem is the same can be said for Africa, the mid-east and many other ares of the world.Do we bring all of them here? who gets in who do we discriminate against?
Many savage welfare systems to the point where we can't afford it anymore.
If we let in mostly Asians they would be self sufficient for the most part not savage the welfare system and many would graduate from college.
But why are we taking in anyone when we have almost 100 million who have stopped looking for work?
Or should we fashion an orderly system when we are able to take in more immigrants according to the laws of the country.
Everyone pretty much shut up.
There's not too much of an argument to be made for picking and choosing by whomever can get here. That's hardly what the country was founded on.
very nice!
it would be nice if there were a handy list of issues and responses for the benefit of those who occasionally find themselves in a private and potentially receptive audience of open minded liberals...
