We can't hide behind walls because we are scared of people who look/pray/speak different or because we are afraid they will compete with us for jobs. That's the reality - for better or worse - of the world we live in today.
Isolating ourselves from the world will create a void that will be happily filled by China, Russia, and new organizations like the proposed CANZUK union. Canada doesn't need us, Mexico doesn't need us ... but we sure do need the free movement of goods and people. Would you rather pay $20 for a head of lettuce or $1,000 for an iPhone?
All across the world (except for the US and Western Europe where Russian propaganda has successfully led people to cower in fear of anyone who looks or speaks or prays differently) countries are uniting and forming unions. In Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Bloc we have the Union State/Eurasian Economic Union. In Latin America we have CELAC, UNASUR, ALBA all of which are closely aligned with Russia and China and led avowedly anti-American leaders like Raul Castro and Nicholas Maduro.
We're endangering our national interests because some rubes in Kentucky and Alabama are scared of Muslims and Mexicans and/or were too stupid to learn marketable skills. Donald Trump isn't make us great again, he's taking us backwards towards becoming an irrelevant rump state. An American version of North Korea. But hey, as long as we stick it to the darkies and the Muzzies it's all good right?
Guess what? You lost and Donald Trump (and America) won. Your failed policies are no longer needed.
No, we need to clean our own house and eliminate the cause of people fighting to come illegally, the fact that they find someone to give them work. Eliminate those who hire them and benefit from cheap, illegal labor.
Yes, the greedy employers are to blame but so are those who cross our border illegally and take jobs they aren't entitled to. They aren't the innocents in all of this.
It wasn't actually incorrect. The choice between emigrate, immigrate, and migrate depends on the sentence's point of view:
Emigrate means to leave one's country to live in another.
Immigrate is to come into another country to live permanently.
Migrate is to move, like snowbirds migrate for the winter.
.
In the context it was used, yes it was incorrect.
I EMIGRATED in the late 1990s to live in Europe for several years.
In each of those European countries, I was an IMMIGRANT who had IMMIGRATED there.
Someone located in the US doesn't say people "emigrate to America." No. They IMMIGRATE to your location.

I wasn't aware that a wall around the entire nation was the plan. I myself disagree with building a wall. I prefer mandatory E-verify for all employers, landlords, banks, schools and Hospitals. make life impossible for illegals and they will not only stop comping here, but also self deport.
So we need to have open boarders, so we don't look scared? Got it.
Americans will never again look NOT scared; it's in your DNA now.
My granny used to take in boarders but they were never open with her. As long as they paid their board she didn't shive-a-git.
Here's the deal; you don't have open borders; you've got one border (singular; you dummies) that allows you to access a pool of cheap labor of which you chose to overlook the normal rules of immigration.
Greedy Americans hiring them are your freakn' problem. Deal with them and your problem would have been solved decades ago. Your own people are your problem, not Mexicans. Donald was just another greedy American using them until it served his purpose to use them as a scapegoat to convince the "mentally challenged" to vote for him.
What does wanting our immigration laws respected and enforced and protecting our country from terrorists have to do with the way they look? We have plenty of citizens who look like Mexicans because they are here legally and many peaceful citizens who have various skin tones. Who's "us" anyway that they supposedly don't look like?
No Americans should have to compete will illegal aliens for jobs just because they work cheaper. Are you kidding me? We have laws against illegal immigration and rightly so. Americans were already doing most blue-collared jobs for a fair wage before millions of cheap, illegals flooded our border. Their skills were already marketable or they wouldn't have been working them in the first place. It's all about greed on the part of the employers, nothing else.
Only 2% of illegals are picking crops and for those jobs there are unlimited visas for legal, foreign workers. Those who hire illegals instead only pocket the profits they don't pass any savings on in cheaper lettuce or any other produce. What they do pass on to us is their enormous social costs. 98% of crop pickers are not illegal aliens!
It's not just people in the south that are opposed to illegal aliens and Muslims that are terrorists it's the whole country! Someone needs to put their race card back in their wallet because it has nothing to do with skin color or race.
It's unbelievable the lies and demonizing of law abiding Americans that these lefty liberals and ethnocentrics do. Of course this post won't be addressed by them because they can't handle the truth. All they have is their race card!
When and where did we have any intentions of walling ourselves off from the whole world? Just another liberal cry baby making stuff up.
OR it might be the crybabies that continually whine and refer to open borders in the plural. How the heck are we supposed to know you're only talking about the one border you choose to overlook to access cheap labor at your convenience.
