My intentions are to find where we can meet in the middle and reform immigration. I don't come here to vent irrationally on the verge of xenophobia.
It's not a simple issue.
Reform immigration? Rewarding immigration lawbreakers by allowing them to stay here isn't "reform" it is amnesty.
What does xenophobia have to do with this? Xenophobia is a fear of strangers. What strangers are we supposedly fearing since we already have every ethnic group, nationality and race already living here legally? In fact, Mexicans who are here by far in the largest numbers are also here in large numbers legally (Mexican-Americans). So who are these strangers you are speaking about?
It IS a simple issue. Enforce the laws on the books.
Strengthen the border and relationships with our neighboring countries to stop illegal immigration.
Do something (IDK what) to slow down the druggies in America and the cartels feeding them, or just legalize it all.
It is punishment to send these so-called kids back to their homelands with their parents? it isn't punishing "kids" anyway it is refusing to reward their parents for coming here illegally.
I guess.......................what goes around comes around. Oh, silly me. Most Mexicans are Indigenous to a vast region of the current USA.
And just like the native indians who were here and fought we shall also do the same against a Mexican invasion. Neither the tribal ancestors of the Mexicans (Aztecs, Mayans) or their Spanish ancestors were indigenous to THIS country. Read a history book.
Hey Erik, Brazil was full of Natives before the Portuguese went over there in the 1500's (if I am not mistaken). Brazilians have no right to have legal immigration laws because they killed all the Indians!
why would i want to go to brazil? no good paying jobs there
That's not true at all. If you have a degree you can get a job there, and good paying one.
My cousin who is a lawyer has a job. My cousin who is a Geologist has a job. My other 2 cousins who are Engineers have jobs. My cousin who is a Nurse has a job. My other cousin who is a Nutritionist has a job. My uncle who is also an Engineer is the General Manager of a mining company down there.
The US government has no intentions of ever securing the border. Doing so would be political suicide. It’s all about self preservation.
The corrupt policies hurt the brown man just as much as the white man. Mexico has many resources. Oil, tourism, agriculture. If they were forced to stay on their side of the border. which could happen over night, one of them would start a revolution. But that will never happen. The US government will continue to bribe Mexicans for their votes with all sorts of welfare goodies paid for with MY tax dollars.
Illegal immigration will stop when the US becomes a third world country and there are no jobs, no freebies left.
