You still refuse to answer the question: If America is a place, and not an idea, what is being 'protected' by anti-immigration stances?
You can filibuster all you want, you can call me Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Malcolm X, whatever the hell you want to call me, it won't make you any less of a moron for refusing to answer a simple, direct question.
Oh, a Mexican is someone who's born in Mexico. It isn't a race. Even if you were right, you'd still be wrong.
So. First, we secure our southern border and northern border. Then, taking up to 3 million legal immigrants, who meet our qualifications, per year from these other ethnic regions around the world. (Note: we are not taking 3 million each, but a total of three million each year till they reach that 8 million goal per ethinc region):
1. The European Union/Great Britain
2. Eastern Europe
3. Russia/The Balkan States
4. China
5. Western Asia
6. Southern Asia
7. The Middle East
8. The African Tribal Nations
9. South Africa
10. New Zealand/Australia/South Pacific
11. The Eskimo/Aleut/Northern Peoples
12. The Carribean
That's the best I can come up with. Any more?
In the meantime (you knew there was one of those, didn't you?) we put a moratorium on immigration from the M/CA/SA region until that quota of 8 million from each of those other regions is met bringing in a limit of 3 million per year regardless of the makeup.
That means we have to bring in 96 million from those other 12 regions. Dividing that by 3 million means that the moratorium on the M/CA/SA region would last 32 years.
I could go for that.
Could you?
"If America is a place, and not an idea, what is being 'protected' by anti-immigration stances?"
The rule of law?
You may not like the law, but it's still the law. And it's not changing, as a majority in congress will never be reached to vote to legalize people who cross the border in the middle of the night with no documentation.
A nation withouts borders is not a nation. If these people love America, like you pretend they do, why don't they obey the laws? Why do they get forged documents like social security cards, a felony? Why do they march in the streets talking of Texas, California and some other parts of the southwest belonging still to Mexico? Why do they fly Mexican flags?
The open borders lobby never ceases to amaze me with their pure stupidity. Luckily Americans see through that. They did in Arizona. They did in Colorado. They do in the opinion polls showing majority support for increased border agents, support for a fence, more spending on border security, end of catch and release and all those secure borders positions.
