"So many fallacies in your argument."

I said..."One of the reasons they have successful economies is because they actively participate in the world economy." Could you explain to me the fallacy of that argument? I then said, "And all three of those countries have a very healthy and large immigrant population." That isn't an argument. It is a statement. As evidenced by our 5.3% growth rate in GDP and our historically low unemployment rate, I'm not convinced illegal immigration is holding us back as much as some might suggest.

And finally, it the ultimate irony to read all your posts complaining about "illiterate Mexicans" when your own posts are so full of misspellings and incorrect grammar that I have to read them several times just to try to figure out what you might be trying to say. For starters...it's a "border", not a "boarder".

You are equating participation in the world economy with open boarders.
That is simply not correct.

"I then said, "And all three of those countries have a very healthy and large immigrant population." That isn't an argument. It is a statement"

Those countries have LEGAL immigrants, who they chose themselves, and didn't have walk in through the bush into their countries.
And most of those legal immigrants are very highly educated, very highly skilled individuals.
Heck America is a country of immigrants, but its got to be LEGAL immigrants, and WE have to chose who comes into our country, not the Mexican movement.
How hard is that to understand?
