No country is perfect, but if you are honest (and not some partisan progressive hack), the United States is still the best country on the planet.

You are aware that Democrats can love this country too, right? I’m an extremely liberal Democrat and I love this country and the people in it.

They don't wave confederate flags nor do they wear MAGA hats or chant for King Trump so obviously they aren't patriots.

Exactly! And they'll vote each and every time to reduce funding for veterans that they sooooo worship too.

Or assault the cops blocking their path while wearing a thin blue line hoodie.

Yeah, you’re one of those people who gets off on pulling the ladder up behind you. No empathy and no sympathy on your part. You basically suck.

She probably came here legally. But you won’t acknowledge that.

I’m sure she did. But what ignorant people like you don’t understand is that it is virtually impossible for the overwhelming majority of human beings to immigrate here legally. That forces many people to enter illegally. All of this talk about “get in line and enter legally” is bullshit. There is no line to be had for most people.

It doesn’t “force” them to do anything. Citizens of other countries don’t have a right to be here. There is a reason why we limit immigration. And you’re calling me ignorant?

Yes. You fail to recognize that the pure happenstance of your coming out of your mother’s vagina on American soil doesn’t make you any better than anyone else. There are many, many people who were born elsewhere who would contribute a hell of a lot more to the alleged “greatness” of this country than many of the ignorant and lazy slobs who had the dumb luck of being born here if they were just given a chance.

What the hell does this have to do with illegal immigration? Oh that’s right - nothing. Just some blathering to try and change the subject.

You’re missing the point. You think this country is so damned great, right? Well, guess what? So do a lot of other people from all over the world - but they can’t get in here legally because there’s virtually no legal path for the large majority of human beings to get in here. So, being desperate and thinking of the same things that the rest of us do - peace and prosperity and a good life for their kids - they take desperate measures. The answer isn’t to shut them all out - it’s to figure out a way to actually let more in legally. Immigration is what has and will continue to make this country so damned “great.”

Citizens of other countries are not entitled to citizenship here. End of story.

NEither were your ancestors. But they pushed their way here and killed the native population to make this great country.

Well, two wrongs don’t make a right. We know better so we do better, right?

I guess we define "do better" differently. Meaningful immigration with a pathway to citizenship is what is absolutely necessary in this country. Not closed borders and walls.

If they are going to open the borders, tax payers could not have to pay for feeding, housing, and medically tearing them

For the people we allow to enter the country on refugee status or asylum (for example) we absolutely should provide them with all of those things as we always have. You really are clueless. For immigrants who enter on work visas, no. They come here to work because they provide the talent that we need. Even for illegal immigrants we should provide the basic necessities until they are sent back or their status is decided unless you want to deal with burying them.

Agreed. Asylum seeker need free healthcare. However, everyone who can't afford healthcare would know we provide free healthcare here. Even that is humane but wouldn't it overwhelm our healthcare system for our own citizens? Our healthcare is already very expensive and hard to navigate with healthcare workers crying about work load.

I don't even understand what you're asking. Our healthcare system is most certainly not overwhelmed because of the immigrants (legal or illegal).

Yes, DC is full of homeless Americans who just need a warm place to sleep. I’m assuming it’s totally different in the burbs. What’s your point? We shouldn’t treat emergencies before checking immigration status?

He would not have gotten the work permit within months. That’s where you’re wrong

You all think illegal immigrants just show up at Homeland Security and say "I need a work permit" and it's done? Someone sold you a bridge.

Currently there are no longer illegal immigrants, drug dealers, terrorists, job seekers are now all considered refugee asylum seekers. They are walking up to border security and saying asylum seeker. They then receive a court date seven or eight years from now. According to some DCUM posters, American taxpayers should be happy to pay to house, feed, educate, and medicate them all. There are no more illegal immigrants as they are all asylum refugees. The work permits are not long behind for those who really want to work. That would be the true job seekers, not necessarily the others.

It's a thought. But you digress with your comment. You originally wrote that our healthcare is not overwhelmed. The fact of the matter is that it is definitely overwhelmed. It was overwhelmed before the onslaught of millions of unemployed and uninsured individuals. Now it is slowly becoming decimated. If you are in healthcare you know what you wrote was one of KellyAnne's alternative facts.

Yeah, a billion people are approx. 700,000,000 to many. That's just my personal opinion. The quality of life here is decent because our cities and suburbs aren't teaming with people; imagine NOVA with 75 million more people; yeah, I'm not interested at all. People don't exactly spread out in the hinterlands, you know, they flock to urban centers, or haven't you noticed?
