Thank the dems/libs for giving immigrants free benefits provided by the government. That keeps them in power.

He's one of those crazy anarcho-capitalist/voluntaryist guys.

People having the freedom to move about up until the point they encroach on clearly privatized property (that which has been mixed with the labor of another individual).

People not having to pay taxes at gunpoint then getting told it's for their own good and no way could the services provided be done so without government (apparently water will only put out a fire if it comes from a taxpayer funded hose...otherwise cheese comes flying out).

If it's wrong for a man to steal from you, cage you, or kill you it doesn't suddenly become right if you and just one other person do it.

He should just take all this moral and logical consistency and go to Somalia!

If not, people aren't going to be fined/arrested for having vehicles on their paid property without visible license plates showing. My god, how will we ever sleep again if that's allowed to occur?

What is happening right now that nobody seems to talk about is middle aged Americans that are now too “high priced” are getting RIFd, hazed out of their jobs, or just plain fired. I see it every quarter at my Fortune 50 company whose stock price is soaring. I do not disagree that the majority of immigrants work extremely hard and many are well educated and very smart. But that much more educated and intelligent than their American peers? No. And it is unfair that these jobs are given away to immigrants when there are tax paying Americans that can do these jobs. The fact that we pay these politicians to take away our means of making a living is just mind blowing. I have nothing against immigrants - I respect and welcome them to our community. But I just cannot understand why we are letting anyone into this country when there are qualified Americans that can do these jobs.
I completely agree, except I count the socio-politically and cultural and quality of life costs of immigration too, and not just the lost opportunities for 90%+ of Americans.


But to the question you pose we know why. One is to depress wages and to keep prices and consumption up, and the other is probably the one main reason currently so Democrats will have a permanent super majority. And I believe there's a third reason and it answers why Democrats want a super majority or what they'll do with it in the first place. The third reason is for even more nefarious reasons such as anti-Americanism and animosity toward whites.

We will have a one party Californian style politics soon if immigration continues at these numbers. There is a reason so many people fight against voter id and encourage voter fraud

Cnn is openly encouraging demographic change and using immigration as a weapon. The dems want a race war basically

Yes I often say America will become like latin America or Brazil but better to just point to California- a great example of a looney, backwards republic.

Demographic change via mass immigration is the entire democrat platform. It is racially based. I'm so sick of it and wish it weren't so, and we could talk about solving other things.

I'll give you the same answer as yesterday, then move or stay there. Let Brazil stay Brazil and America stay America, and keep Austin weird.

What do Americans do everyday? Do they drive their ugly suburban cars on those freeways, stressed from work and traffic? Is that what they do?
Yes, no one should want to come to America. Spread the word.

Not crazy at all. He seemed quite principled to me, which is an anomaly these days.

As for you, buttercup, I didn't know you were capable of such clarity. Longer posts suit you.

And as for me, I found myself on this page tonight - Why I Am an Anarcho-Capitalist. Interesting in the theoretical, but people would eventually screw it up.
