Great Immigration Conversation

It’s easy to point out the problems with conservative border policy. Changing someone’s mind is not so easy.

DL Hughes
Some of each. Press both buttons. Still, it ignores the real question about why they are invading our border. If they were honorable, they would stay in Mexico and start a revolution to overthrow their own corrupt government.
Nathan Conkey
Just like the Irish, English, Germans, Dutch and others, jolly dishonourable of them to do so.
DL Hughes
So wrong, Nathan. 12 million Germans (or other nationality) did not disrespect the US by sneaking across the border at night. Mexicans and those from Central America embarrass themselves with their presumption. If 12 million Chinese sneaked across ourĀ southern border, they would have been shot.

We welcome immigrants in the USA, just as it should be. However, people who come here should rightfully bring their education, good health and financial or intellectual capital–and do the paperwork to get here legally and honorably.

Invading Mexican hordes do not offer any of that. They bring, ignorance, disease and poverty to the US. People around the world should be unhappy about that… all the illegal aliens are stealing the opportunity from qualified legal immigrants to be here.
Nathan Conkey
Because honour is defined by compliance with Federal bureaucratic edicts, I understand.
DL Hughes
Honor is best defined by self-respect. 12 million Mexicans and people from Central Americans apparently don’t have that. They are willing to lie, cheat and steal to invade a land where they are not wanted. They know they are not wanted because of the Border Patrol, the fences and the fact many pay to get help to break the law.

Some Mexicans and people from Central America immigrate to the US legally. They are welcome, of course. The others are not.
Nathan Conkey
I never realised American Conservatives were so enamoured with arbitrary legislation invented by the big government brigade and put into force by bureaucrats. I though they wanted freedom. Very interesting.
Good job the huddled masses of Europeans were independently wealthy and well qualified, not like that dishonourable mass of Mexicans and Central Americans.
