I'm quoting my friend who is a member of the GOP and personal friend of many Republican presidential candidates.

"The entire closed border community consist of people who are upset their unemployed son can't get a job as a warier while he sits back playing xbox."

^And that's total nonsense. To say that's what everybody who wants our borders secured thinks, is preposterous. And what's a "warier"?

Give me a break. Personal friends of GOP candidates don't have kids (or kids of friend's) competing for jobs with illegal immigrants. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post. If you're saying citizens of the USA can't compete with undocumented workers for manual labor jobs, then OK, they can't. There was a time when they (legal citizens) could have done OK with manual labor jobs. They can't now, and it's not only unfair to them, but also to the undocumented laborers. The whole system is screwed up.

First off there is no closed border community. The GOP isn't opposed to legal immigration and a secure border isn't a closed one. Second, most of our youth are not lazy and choosing to stay at home playing xbox rather than desiring to work. Next.......

A hair stands up on the back of my neck referring to illegal aliens as undocumented. There is no such legal term for them. Anyway, moving along what is being unfair to illegal aliens?

The Closed Border Community consists of anyone who is against or disagrees with an open border system, like Europe.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement

I believe that everyone should be able to travel freely, without the need of documentation, borders or checkpoints, and the ability to work freely and legally in any country without the requirement of additional bureaucracy such as the current visa process.

What I'm saying is:

- If you come to this country undocumented, you should have the right to work here freely without the fear of deportation or ineligibility to work.

- We need to abolish the minimum wage.

- We need to encourage international competition in this country to help lower working wages, and create a more multicultural environment.

- Americans who work in manual labor or any job which are able to be replaced by a worker, whether undocumented or citizen here, should learn and reeducate themselves and change career paths.

So, Anonymous, you are all for open borders and unlimited legal and illegal immigration. That is absolutely scary. What you advocate for is extremely irresponsible.

You must not have any descendants. If you did, you would want to leave something better for them than a country that has descended into third world status with 1 billion people and not enough potable water.
