You’re reaching Zeb-like levels of evasion, and it’s obvious, so I’ll spare the continued questions - we all get it. Your views on immigration are somewhere between “Damn Mexicans” and " everybody hates white people these days", and you’ll tiptoe around it, but to you, race matters and is a difference maker.
But to your question, there is no “enough” - we don’t suffer under some Malthusian myth of a zero sum game on the economy, and I don’t believe that every addition of an immigrant is a subtraction.
Look, we get it. You’re mad they keep letting non-white people in the country. My response to someone who operates by that reactionary rage is - who cares?
If Trump loses it’s pretty much over anyway. The corrupt Pants Suit will appoint two (or more) left wing Supreme Court Justices and a slew of lower court Justices as well. The country will change for generations–for the worse.
-Bye, bye second amendment
-Infringements on the first amendment (hate speech expanded).
-Abortion will never be over turned.
And of course taxes (to those of us who actually pay them) will hit the roof and the 44 million people on food stamps will probably rise by10% or so in four years.
Yes…it will certainly change everything for the worse and most likely for generations, probably forever.
Let me agree…and disagree with Zeb…and help raj out a little:
The Second Amendment and 300-plus million guns, small arms and various armaments are going no where.
Hate Speech/1st Amendment? There are certainly disturbing “trends” that I am seeing in Liberal Colleges and Universities and among SOME millennials…but these are trends that are independent of who is in the White House. We are ALWAYS better off when our Judiciary is more “balanced”. In being so, it affords an amazing system of checks and balances. This is a area where our Law Makers need to be EXTREMELY diligent.
Abortion Rights will probably not be overturned; again…independent of who is in the White House.
Taxes: Probably the biggest agreement Zeb and I have. While “Trickle Down” has proven to be total bullshit…raising taxes while doing nothing to reign in spending does nothing but give the government more to spend (waste).
Those on Food Stamps will most likely rise…again…INDEPENDENT of who is in the White House…but because of Technological Advances and INEVITABLE (again…independent of who is in the White House) Globalization. We simply are requiring a more and more skilled Work Force that we don’t have.
Raj…there are still plenty of States in the Union that will have very few of those pesky Blue Voting Brown People. Probably doesn’t help much when one looks at the Electoral College Map…but the problem is the EC…not the pesky little Brown People…
They will chip away at it. In certain states they have limited the number of rounds that one can carry in their side arm. Things like that can certainly infringe on the right to carry. Hillary’s Judges will be brutal on the 2nd.
Wrong, the bully pulpit carries much power. I four instigator and Chief came out strongly against the black trouble makers like Al Sharpton in the beginning we would not be suffering from the worst race relations in decades.
in fact that is the only way that all ships rise. If a business person does not have the money to build a business or expand a current one how can people get jobs, or raises?
Trickle down was given a bad name by a left win media. But, check out Ronald Reagan’s trickle down success in the 80’s.
While I doubt it’s going to happen…conservatives need to just stop with this.
It’s almost as if they want you to believe that all was just fine and dandy; and whites were reading Martin Luther King Speeches and singing “We Are the World” every night before going to bed until this damn President took office.
Please.
Run this line about “it’s all Obama’s fault” by someone stupid, Zeb.
I am not evading your question, I said that race should not be taken into account with immigration. I said that using other criteria would lead to racial differences. I am not sure why you are having a hard time differentiating this.
This isn’t about damn Mexicans or the hate whitey train, this is about how some immigrants (people like myself and Raj) are expected to follow the law while others aren’t. You don’t hear Europeans, Asians, or people from the Middle East complaining about our “draconian system.” There is a certain degree of racism here, and it comes from Latinos, who feel they DON’T need to follow the current laws BECAUSE they are Latino. Again, if you don’t understand this, it’s over your head and there is no need to beat this dead horse anymore.
Maybe your Malthusian myth isn’t a myth at all, not when people here have concrete data to support it as a fact. Raj, Zeb, and myself have all posted data supporting our claims, but yea I know, we be raycess and all. You don’t want truth, dialogue, or debate in these matters. You want to scream racism then stick your fingers in your ears when irrefutable facts are thrown your way.
Those non-white people don’t have the same kumbaya thinking you do, they want their land back.
No, it isn’t - we aren’t talking about illegal immigration, we’re talking about legal immigration, too. As in, these laws you want to enforce, what should they look like.
Dim bulb Raj says we need to limit legal immigration volumes period (despite the annual amount coming in is miniscule as a percentage of our population) and institute a “boards exam” (will there be an essay portion?), which will, lucky for us, self-sort out the “bad” races because those races arr, well, just more stupid.
This is idiocy. More importantly, it’s un-American.
But I make a note - I keep saying this creepy ethno-nationalism and fascist immigration policy (“ein Volk!!!”) is un-American, and you and Raj keep mewling about how America is made impure by immigrants, despite the fact that America has always been a nation of immigrants. It now dawns on me - you and Raj have no idea what the Hell “American” even means. You think “American” is whatever you say it is right now, regardless of our traditional values.
And irony alert - your main complaint is that immigrants are ruining American culture, but you don’t realize influx of immigrants is American culture, and it’s you who wants to change the culture, not the immigrants.
Ok, but I also wrote that the company making record profits will, by basic logic of the trickle-down theory, be spending those moneys in a manner that’ll ultimately stimulate the economy, ya?
So it shouldn’t matter if companies makes massive profits by utilizing illegal immigrants and are underpaying them.
