The one thing we've learned from the previous shamnesty is that more Illegals will come and that more people were made permanent social service recipients.

No thanks!

Why are you here? Why not leave? Go live like Ghandi in a loincloth with a spinning wheel or something. Why are you sitting here typing on a computer keyboard that was probably made by slave labor in some Third World country, according to you? Why do you drive a car? Maybe part of the metal was mined by someone in poor working conditions. How can you drink a cup of coffee knowing that the US engages in unfair labor practices? If you get hit by a car or something, you really should not go to the hospital because no doubt drug and medical equipment companies do something that in your worldview is immoral. The way I see it, it is easy to sit here and hector others about their supposed deficiencies in 'global thinking' or whatever, when in reality IMO you are not a whole lot better than anyone else yourself.

Don't get me wrong...this DOES sound like a tall order, I realize. I'm just saying that if a person knows THAT much, and is right 99% of the time, then knowing Spring Valley would be a pretty simple matter. I say you'd better give such a person the benefit of the doubt.
Wasn't Mr. Spock able to read minds or something?

Really, I thought it took people to deport people...not a stroke of a pen. I thought it would require, you know, people and trucks and resources. Not just a pen stroke. But, it literally takes a pen stroke to legalize them.

Why is it SO wrong to say that maybe we should consider better treatment of the third world? That's pretty much all I'm saying. I'm not advocating we live in mud huts, but simply acknowledge that we to take advantage economically of poor nations...hence why they are poor.

IMO I just don't think people bashing other cultures is right. That's all.

Oh, and more importantly, rewarding foreign criminals will only encourage more illegal criminals to follow suit.

How many more illegal aliens illegally entering the US/overstaying their visas would you love force the govt. to assist?
So denying them services will help those issues? So saying we will not support your education and advancement is linked to stopping homegrown criminals? It really doesn't make sense.

You're right. There is no such thing as paranoia. Spring Valley is a hellhole ghetto. Diamond Bar is completely homogenous. Europeans did not do an iota of wrong things in Africa. Blacks in America did not have ANY help whatsoever. Saudis love Americans and other expatriates. The third world is comprised of all lazy people who can't think. Everything is economically fair and personal choices dictate every facet of everyone. That's the story, right? This is reality...correct?
