Oh, and let me fix that for you. Like it or not, there IS a difference between legal and illegal immigrants. |
Just like there are legal motorists and illegal motorists. When someone exceeds the posted speed limit, we take away their kids. #Justice |

You have zero sense of proportionality. And that's probably the least of your issues. -DP |
You're going to have to explain it better than that. If immigrants are not inherently good or bad, then immigrating without proper paperwork is just a regulatory crime. (I think Trump supporters call these "process crimes.") The seriousness of that offense depends on how well designed the regulations are. Our immigration system is not well designed. For starters, we haven't funded it well enough to make it sufficiently efficient. If someone speeds, I know that they're more likely to hurt someone than someone who doesn't speed. I don't know that an immigrant here without the proper paperwork is any more likely to cause me harm than an immigrant with all the signatures and stamps in order. |
Well if you speed in MoCo, you get a ticket. All day, every day because of the numerous speed cameras all over the county. There is some negative consequence and some motivation to not do it again and again. But if you immigrate to MoCo illegally, you get free health insurance for you child, free schooling, free instruction in a second language, free breakfast, free lunch, free backpacks, etc. You may disagree, but I see this as a problem. |
I surely hope you're not a Christian. The idea that we would have an economic system that depends on and thrives on illegal labor, which you benefit from as well, but you want their children to go without education, health care, and food, instead of acknowledging the reality and regularlizing them .... |
How about things cost more, and we have less shit? |

What is there to comprehend? Collapsing population = collapse of workers to support your social security and continue growing the economy. |
Where exactly is your population collapsing? Do you have housing for migrants? |
Let me quote this again: "Due to demographic changes, the U.S. Social Security system will face financial challenges in the near future. Declining fertility rates and increasing life expectancies are causing the U.S. population to age. Today 12 percent of the total population is aged 65 or older, but by 2080, it will be 23 percent. At the same time, the working-age population is shrinking from 60 percent today to a projected 54 percent in 2080. Consequently, the Social Security system is experiencing a declining worker-to-beneficiary ratio, which will fall from 3.3 in 2005 to 2.1 in 2040 (the year in which the Social Security trust fund is projected to be exhausted). This presents a significant challenge to policymakers." https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v66n4/v66n4p37.html The native born population in the US IS NOT GROWING FAST ENOUGH to maintain our current level of functioning as a nation. Social Security is one casualty of that. Do you understand that, like, cognitively? Can you read? Do you grasp that the older generations depend on the younger generations to work? |
That’s good because I’m certainly not a Christian. And I don’t think that anyway. I think our economic system should NOT depend on illegal immigration. You want to fight for more reasonable immigration laws, I’m on board. But the fight for more illegal immigration calls flat. |
