A) We f’d the Euro Inbreds by stealing their best slaves. B) The huddled masses yearning to be free, are still a great asset - provided we stay focused on acquiring assets and Americans Born Elsewhere. C) We are a nation, founded with a philosophy. We should welcome people who believe in that philosophy, and reject/expel those who do not. Most of the Crony class should be exiled to Europe, where their idiotic ideas belong. D) Much of the U.S. was built by people who had assets, and were stripped of them/had to leave them behind. E) That most of the MLKs, Martin Luthers, Rosa Parks etc now flee to us, rather than fight at home, has pluses and minuses. I doubt Russia would be in nearly as bad a shape as it is in, if it hadn’t lost so much of the decent people, but they are having vastly better lives here, than they could have, there. I’m not sure it’s fair to make that decision for them. And, I’m OK with Americans Born Elsewhere, who come here with the plan to accumulate capital, so that they can go home and fight - the DR will probably prove the validity of this idea. | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
Part of the problem today is that a huge percentage of the people coming into this country over the border today are not Mexicans looking for jobs or a better life. It's unvetted Chinese, African, and Middle-Easterners who got into South America and then made their way up through Central America and crossed our border. It's entirely possible that many of these people have ties to terrorism or the Chinese government, but we can't know for sure because they're just pouring across the border, and even the ones we catch are just being released with a court date and allowed to enter. It's a debacle. If you want more details, listen to the Shawn Ryan show interview with Michael Yon about the Darien Gap from a couple of months ago. I have a buddy who works for the USBP who confirmed that they're seeing a ton of non-Central and South American people coming across these days. I believe we need to secure the border, build the wall, and make people wait outside until they're vetted before we let them in. Once you do get in, you're held accountable and there's no free lunch. You don't get welfare, and if you don't keep a job and fail to provide for yourself, you get sent back. Get convicted of a crime, get sent back. It's a privilege to be here, we get to pick who we take, and we only want the well-behaved and productive. Prove yourself, and there ought to be a simple path to citizenship because if you're a decent person we want to keep you! IMO immigration of the right kind actually benefits us more than it does these other countries. The US is rotting from the inside out, and an infusion of people with some common sense and work ethic can only help us in the long run. The "home-grown" American industrial labor demographic is appalling. They're lazy, entitled, unreliable, and substance addicted. Where my son works employees regularly don't show up, or leave for lunch and don't come back for the rest of the day. If I did either of those things I'd expect to not have a job the next day, but his boss says if he fires them he won't have anybody, and it's better to have a half-time employee than none at all. Most of the Hispanic immigrants I've known want as much work as they can get. They work hard and are willing to do all kinds of grueling stuff like de-tasseling corn and commercial poultry farming. A lot of them have some pretty significant skills, too. Some of the best construction guys and mechanics I've seen are first-generation hispanic. I'd rather work with them than most of these home-grown losers who know nothing and can't even show up for 8 hours sober to sit on their butt and count parts coming off the line. Maybe having to compete for your job with somebody who actually wants to work would be the kick in the butt that some of them need. | |||

Immigration greater than a tiny percentage of the existing citizenry is economically devastating. This is for high quality immigrants who desire and work to be productive. Similarly, cultural assimilation does not happen when the influx is too great. For immigration to be a benefit, it must be limited. It simply takes time for the system to absorb new arrivals. If the immigrants do not wish to assimilate or to be productive contributors, it will never be a benefit. | |||

The problem started with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart–Celler Act and more recently as the 1965 Immigration Act, is a landmark federal law passed by the 89th United States Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson; Teddy Kennedy was a major sponsor and supporter. As we can imagine, this was another attempt by Johnson to solidify a future block of Democratic voters. In the process, all the standards of prior immigration laws went out the window. | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
In past decades we haven’t paid enough attention to the country’s south of the border. They are mostly corrupt, poorly governed shitholes and I don’t blame the poor for wanting to come here to make a better life for their family. We’ve turned a blind eye to those areas while we dumped huge money and effort into other places in the world instead. We need to quickly slow and stop the illegal migration and also do better to influence them to reform. Not just for them but for us. We’ll never solve this problem without seeing reforms in their home countries. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

An older video from over a dozen years ago on legal immigration, and it is more valid and important today. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Where would we be without immigration? AFAIK, Prussia didn’t do very well. | |||

I saw a news clip of JD Vance back peddeling on Trumps deportation statements. Arguing that they can deport maybe 1 million of the criminal or crazy illegals but, he himself asked how to deport 20 million people? Part of Vances home State gave sanctuary to these invaders and they've flooded into Kentucky as well. | |||

I feel an illegal should be able to fill your job as well. I see nothing more important about your lifestyle, income or retirement than say, any other working American. Actually, that seems like a stellar thought. We could even save some money by lowering their income. | |||

Where in my post did I say that I wanted illegals working here? That's entirely the point...I don't want illegals here at all. This whole open border nonsense doesn't protect them or us. But there needs to be an attainable path to LEGAL immigration so that productive people can come here and work. And if a legal immigrant can do my job better than me and they decide to replace me with him, then so be it. He can have the headaches, hours, and stress. We're a long way from that at the moment, though, as we can't find enough qualified people to do the job as it is. | |||

Maybe so, but even if it is it's missing the point entirely. We had an estimated 12 million illegals come into this country last year, and we still have a labor shortage. I don't see how shutting that down and replacing it with a controlled and vetted LEGAL process that isn't going to result in anywhere near as many people coming across is going to result in us all losing our jobs. | |||

I disagree that we have a labor shortage. I believe we have a shortage of jobs that pay an attractive wage. “That’s what.” - She | |||

I don't see why we can't have both. I'm all for deporting one or more native born oxygen thief for every vetted legal immigrant we accept. | |||

It takes work and sacrifice, sometimes sacrificing your life to make and improve ones own country but it's much easier to come here and destroy ours. | |||
