That's right, because I don't agree that an undocumented immigrant is only guilty of a misdemeanor. ...
Curiously your opinion is not the law.
... That makes a joke of any effort the U.S. border patrol puts fourth in keeping them out. It turns border enforcement into a game, with little slap-on-the-wrist punishments as little more meaningful than five yard penalties in a football game.
Trying to keep people out is a joke, it will never work.
Unless, perhaps, you would like to see them executed for the high crime of wanting a better life?
I don't see burdening ourselves to show blind trust to foreigners to be a U.S. founding principle. ...
If you truly accept those founding principles as critical to the formation of the US then it should be no burden to apply them to anyone in the US.
... Is there something in....a Federalist Paper you could show me? ...
Others are doing this job already.
... Why should we treat foreigners in a way that they might not find respectable, if they don't understand them, if they've never been exposed to them?
So now they have to be tested to see which ones to treat badly and which ones to respect as human beings? Fascinating. Presumably the children should be treated the worst then?
Because they can speak English, ...
So nobody that doesn't speak English can be an American. How's your Navajo?
... because they have some idea, however slight, of what U.S. morals are and a little about how free markets work. ...
Like the morals of American White Christian Terrorists?
And of course no other country is capitalist ...
... There is a big difference between the worse U.S. citizens versus non U.S. citizens from who-knows-where.
Agreed. The immigrants generally are better educated on the constitution and laws, and more ready and willing to work hard to make a living.
Because the kids didn't commit a crime doesn't mean their parents should be rewarded for committing the crime of conceiving them as illegal immigrants. ...
First time I ever heard of conceiving children being illegal, are you sure that's what you meant?
... Otherwise word spreads in other countries, "go to the U.S. and have children" Never mind if you won't be able to support them!"
Which curiously is the law.
Never mind that the parents are hard working people wanting to start a new life.
The U.S. didn't come into existence automatically, and it won't be preserved automatically. I think you're taking its existence for granted. A lot of people on the political left in the U.S. do today. It's happened before, the Roman Empire as only one example, and it can take hundreds of years for a fallen civilization to recover. ...
So we need to close our borders to all comers and live like reinactors in our daily lives ... show home movies to preserve the ideal way to live, stuck forever in 1950 America?
OR we recognize that things change, and that's why the constitution gets amended and laws get changed to adapt to changing times.
... It's been estimated that it was a thousand years before Europeans again achieved as high a standard of living as they had in Roman times.
You mean the period of time that the churches suppressed information and burned books? When people were burned at the stakes for being heretics?
A one world government? That would cause ISIS to dissolve?
Ah yes, the creation of the EU is what was behind ISIS forming, good catch.
That's what the Democrats in the south said when slavery ended. It worked out though, didn't it?
So we should "JimCrow"the immigrants? Seems you knowledge of American history is a little lacking here.
The movement of money out of the country? Undocumented workers often send money back to their home country. Many of them contribute to the economy in big ways all right, they bring in the illegal drugs. That you don't see the danger in these things parallels the carelessness of the Romans 2000 years ago.
The decline of the Romans was due in large part to the fact that they
poisoned their people with lead used to line aqueducts and make drinking vessels (pewter is made with lead and other toxic heavy metals).
And I do see the parallel to lead poisoned water in Flint and many other cities (lead used to seal cast iron pipes in virtually all city older sections as well as in old solder on copper pipes), and certainly in the dumbing down of America by Americans that want to believe myth rather than reality.
