Nahhhh never happen. We are counting on you to keep us honest.
LOL
"I thought we had reached some sort of agreement with them on this?"
I missed that. A few percentage points on import tariffs would work wonders.
The American taxpayer pays all the costs of the American gov't. Yes, you and I pay the bills.
China has been trying to reduce its population for some time. The one child policy and forced abortions were meant to achieve zero population growth. I expect China will actually start loosing population at some point. They probably encourage emigration just like Mexico.
I would like to know how much the illegal Chinese immigrants abuse the social welfare system in the US as opposed to the Latin illegals.
Pay whether we want to or not. Whether we agree or not.
"There must be other solutions.
Yea, the easiest one that comes to mind is to just stay home.
It certainly takes care of 90+% of it.
As well, given the choices, would you rather have Mexicans with absolutely no pattern of blending with the existing American culture and most of whom believe that a good chunk of the US really belongs to Mexico, and who bring crime and other societal woes with them, or a handful of Chinese who've had absolutely no modern track record of any major social maladies?
Homeland Security has proven to be nothing more than another ruse to take our money and do with it things totally unrelated to actual homeland security.
It's big hurrah was supposed to be the coordination of all the security agenices. ROFLMAO
Sure! And the next time I see Swine Airways I'll remember that.
It is evil. Interesting how everywhere that Christianity has been eradicated or suppressed, the evils are at their worst, eh.
Immediately, it is. And the Chinese illegals are not bringing those nukes to America with them. Their government is not sending them, though it does not resent the money sent home. The Chinese illegals are not demanding Rights and are not demanding that we be sent "home." Chinese illegals do not tend to vote in American elections. Mexican illegals do.A point against the Chinese is that they do not assimilate in the large cities, though the ones in the smaller places seem to. I was quite surprised to discover how many Chinese, legal and illegal live in my own town. They are simply not visible. The Mexicans, probably about twice their numbers here, seem to be everywhere and many are obnoxious. The neighborhoods they inhabit have become as dangerous as the Projects. The Chinese are much more scattered and their neighbors mostly don't even realize they are just down the block. The Chinese in the schools insist on English. The Mexicans here seem indifferent to education.The Chinese revere it.
And the jobs that have been created in the past six years have mostly been government jobs. :o(
Not sure whether you are being facetious, but I'm sure many of them were.
Your point?
Help me out here, I'm failing to see the connection between your response and any of my earlier posts unless I'm missing something.
Always good to quote what you are referring to.
I believe I stated my point fairly succinctly in post #11.
I don't see where we are in disagreement, or are you just in the mood for an argument? I am not.
"RE: "I've always thought a wall along ONE border would not solve illegal immigration." "
A single or double wall along our Southern borders won't solve the problem. A wall[s] can be climbed, destroyed, tunneled under, on and on. But walls in certain accessible areas, backed with humans and what ever else will work, will help secure our borders. However, as one FReeper stated, it should also include tamper proof SS cards. But there we go thinking logical again. I'm unconvinced, that our benevolent elected officials ever want to honestly fix the problem.
Not looking to argue, but am looking to respond to you courteously.
I'm up for it.
