Maybe some FReepers can help me out here.
I live near the Canadian border, amid a truly remarkable lack of diversity. Illegal immigration is happening somewhere else.
But I do not understand - there is not one, single, coherent, and intellectually satisfying argument for tolerating it - none at all.
The obvious thing to do is to round them all up and send them back. Failing that, the next obvious thing to do is to make their lives as difficult as possible, so they leave on their own.
But what do these Republicans who want to facilitate illegals actually SAY? Do they make an argument without breaking out laughing? If I had to debate this issue, and take the “pro” side, I literally could not think of a single thing to say.
We have huge unemployment. We are going broke. And we have too many parasites. Mass Mestizo immigration makes all these problems radically worse.
What do the Republican proponents of mass low-IQ, low-skill immigration actually say? How do they make the case?
Way up here, I just do not get it.
They say "Otherwise, they won't vote for us."
So, you're spot on.
