For the record, I am very much pro-immigrant
The position of some in my party (I’m a life-long Republican) confuses me.
I mean, we have a person who STRUGGLES to come here. How is that not a good thing?
First of all, they have excellent taste in countries. The only people who wanna go to Canada are those who have relatives there or who can’t get into America.
It’s like college. You have your preference and you have your back-up. Canada is back-up.
These people not only have excellent taste in countries, they’ll work for peanuts. They will clean semen off motel room walls for two bucks an hour. Most Americans wouldn’t even nap for less than $2.50 an hour.
There have always been immigrants in this country and there has always been bitching about them. The first were the Irish. Over in Ireland, back in the 1800s, they decided that it would be a good idea to only grow one crop. It would be THE crop. They would use it to feed everyone. In short, agriculturally speaking, they put all their eggs in one basket.
Well, one season (and a dozen seasons thereafter), the potato crop failed. The Irish came here, to America, as starving refugees. And because this is America YOU CAN’T JUST PUT UP A WALL AND KEEP PEOPLE OUT.
They oozed in. They were hated, discriminated against. Much of it was religious in those days. The Irish refugees were Catholic and pretty much all of America in those days was Protestant.
And you know what? We absorbed those pathetic Irish losers and we’re better for it.
Today, in 2015, the people STRUGGLING to get here happen to be, by and large, darker of skin. Hispanic. Asian. African. Middle Eastern.
The only people going to Europe are going there because it’s closest. Fucking ASK them.
Everybody in the world, still, wants to come to America.
I don’t know, but as an American, I am proud of that.
I see it as an honor and certainly something we shouldn’t be a dick about.
In Europe, the government will actually send someone to your house to suck your dick and give you $500. It was Bernie Sanders idea.
And where does everyone wanna go nevertheless?
Stand up straight, motherfuckers. We have company!
I’m pro-immigrant.
Clarification:
I’m pro-LEGAL immigrant.
These folks wanted to come here and make a better life, so much that they willingly jumped through the fiery hoops and waded the sea of red tape to comply with the law. They have my utmost respect, and I welcome them and am proud of them.
Illegal immigrants?
Criminals. They can kiss my ass and go back home. They don’t deserve any consideration, they don’t deserve any benefits, and they don’t deserve to stay here.
You wouldn’t welcome a burglar in and let him sleep in your bed and eat your food, would you? No. You’d throw his ass in jail.
This nation does not have the resources to support millions of illegal immigrants, whose medical treatment has forced 84 hospitals to close in California alone.
Supporting illegals is a slap in the face to the immigrants who came here legally.
You have a point, a logical one. But I’m going to disagree with it because it doesn’t make everyday sense. The people are here and they’re coming. We must adjust. Immigration needs to be thought of in broad terms, not in picky, bullshit terms. We have spouted “freedom” bullshit for 200 years. Stand back.
Immigration is what defines America. That, and guns.
I simply cannot be opposed to our single most defining characteristic. We’ll have to adjust, simply put.
America is the world state for reasons other than military power.
