So only 5.5 million (and counting) came here without any sort of visa. That makes me feel better about the whole mess.
And if it were easier for them to come in with visas or on green cards, then those people wouldn't have to come in illegally. See, this is what you neo-cons don't get about laws. They get broken. And when the government over-complicates things, we end up with "messes." If it were easier to come in legally, those people wouldn't be undocumented, more of them would be paying taxes, and you wouldn't have to worry your pretty little head about how immigrants "TOOK ERRRR JAHHHHBS!"
So we already have more Mexicans than we need
Well, now that sounds like a true Trump disciple.
or can handle, but he proposes more so long as they pass a background check? Why would you reward a scofflaw country that flouts this country's immigration laws?
We're getting the benefit of cheap labor and a larger tax base.
What about those Mexicans who don't bother with visas and the like? What's his plan to stop them? The honor system?
The theory is if you make it easier to get into the country legally, then you won't have to stop illegal crossings.
Why would we allow more of them to enter when we can't keep track of the millions of visa overstayers already here? It's lunacy.
It doesn't matter if you allow them to or not... If they want to come in, they will, whether there is a wall or not.
[/QUOTE]I get the sense that if you can make it to this country, legally or illegally, Johnson will allow you to stay. Am I wrong? [/QUOTE]If you think Trump is going to round up 11 million people and kick them out, you're in for a big disappointment.
Demographics threaten to make Arizona, Georgia, and even Texas into swing states, which means permanent Democratic rule at the expense of libertarians and Republicans. So logic dictates that you should favor an immigration ban on countries whose immigrant populations produce Democrats. I mean, unless you're an idiot.
I don't get the sense "demographics" are going to hurt Libertarians. They'll definitely hurt Republicans, because Republicans are calling them murderers and rapists. Perhaps your party should change its rhetoric if you're worried about "demographics."
why? it applies to anyone in the country illegally, regardless of race or nationality. but we're supposed to ditch the phrase because Hispanics are the worst offenders by far? fuck that.
Yeah, the term is often used to refer to white euro-immigrants.
oh please. this is a stale rehash of "binders full of women." everyone knew what Romney meant and ditto for Trump. stop acting like Mexico is sending over PhD types and Nobel Laureates.
I know exactly what Trump meant. He said "some, I assume, are good people." He insulted the entire race. Your defense of him is embarrassing.
you missed that he's pro-TPP, pro-carbon tax, pro-mandatory vaccination, in favor of forcing Jews (or anyone for that matter) to bake cakes for neo-Nazis, tripled New Mexico's debt, lovingly described Hillary as a "wonderful public servant," and confessed to agreeing with neo-Marxist Bernie Sanders 73% of the time?
I didn't watch the entire video you posted with the 3:15 timestamp, if that's where all of this was. You directed me to a specific portion of the video (even with a fucked up timestamp)... I watched that and then looked to who made the video. When I saw it was infowars, that was it. Those guys make Drudge look sane.
He's not pro carbon tax. He's not pro mandatory vaccinations. He thinks TPP advances free trade, which is a libertarian ideal. He didn't triple New Mexico's debt... the legislature spends the money. A governor signs bills into law or vetoes them. He vetoed 750 bills, including having no tax increases in 6 of his 8 years. He vetoed budgets. But legislatures have override authority.
He agrees with Bernie on social issues much of the time. Fiscally, they are opposite ends of the spectrum. I think the number of 73% that you're referring to is from ISideWith.com, which is probably more skewed toward social issues.
And oh noes, he complimented Hillary. Whatever will we do!!
You did find something I disagree with on the nazi cake thing... I also don't fall directly in line with his abortion stance. But that's not enough to make me vote for someone else.
