If by “tighter standards” you mean US standards that would exclude immigrants from ANY country who had a history of violent crime, or who were without skills or education (illiterate), then I would agree (barring special circumstances). I would support them.
However, you know that I am not talking about the humanity or inhumanity of immigration laws. Far from it. Stop twisting my words.
I’m discussing how pretty squalid rhetoric has been used in this thread to defame whole peoples, who, as far as I can see, have only committed the “offense” of being foreign. That’s what I have been consistently been calling shameless and indefensible.
Once again — why are you defending the hurling of insults at raped girls and other innocents? Just because they are immigrants?
Yes, straightforward enough. I will add that I'd happily trade third world folks with the guts and ambition to start over for a bunch of our own home-grown thugs and whiners.
Unless, that is, they embrace Islam. After liberal/socialist/communist/Marxists, Muslims are the greatest danger to our republic.
Of course, your opinion may vary.
