Most ironic the apologists who want higher wages, fair labor practices, unionization, affordable health care, defend the very illegals that the other guy, the evil republicans, are using as a tool to destroy or lower those very things.
And if they were documented, and labor laws enforced, that particular issue would not exist.
again another example that has no bearing on the subject............Should Africans have been thankful that they weren't sent back, and accepted second class status?
As said, people coming into Ellis Island (you know, where that inscription actually is, not on the southern border) did so legally.
People coming in that way also assimilated into American culture. Nothing about your (very typical) misuse of the statue of liberty inscription has a thing to do with our actual immigration laws and policies.
Gee, I've seen signs welcoming me to many foreign countries. So if the message is friendly "Welcome to ____!" I guess that means you get to interpret it as iron-clad immigration policy telling you to come on in, never leave, help yourself to jobs, bennies, make angry political demands, get resident tuition and anything else you desire, right?
Well, I issue you my challenge:. GO try it. Pick the country. Go do it.
Lemmie know what other country doesn't toss you out on your ass, let alone bends over to your demands. Look forward to you actually putting up or shutting up.
and if the speed limits were raised no one would be caught speeding.
and if we eliminated drunk driving laws, no one would have DUI's.
again another example that has no bearing on the subject............
A person tells us illegals should be thankful that they aren't throw out, so they should shut up and sit down and remain second class citizens. The parallels with the Civil Rights era are easily drawn.
No, they shouldn't. They should move back to their shit hole country and try to make it better, instead of turning ours into the same kind of shit hole they are trying to escape.
Illegals should be able to take no priority over legal citizens. Their demands are brazen. They should be thankful they are not being thrown out on their asses in droves, not be making demands.
I always challenge all the willfully ignorant pro-illegal types to themselves go try what they advocate for illegals in the US, in ANY other country. Heck, especially in Mexico.
Go ahead: go down to Mexico, take your family with you, no visa, no documents, no nothing, set up shop, take jobs, send your kids to their schools, then start demanding they change their laws/language/customs/culture to accommodate you, angrily inject yourself into their political system, demand bennies, amnesty, and any/everything you require to feel right at home be given to you.
When (not if) you get the f thrown in jail, beaten severely and ultimately tossed head first across the border, whine and bitch and snivel about how those mean people broke up your family.
So far, I've had zero takers. Most pro-illegal types can't shut up or put up.
I don't care what some developing country does. If I went there I would not want to be Mexican. These people are undocumented Americans and want to be documented Americans.
The are illegals. not undocumented.
you on the left are so twisted.
They're only illegal under an unjust interpretation of the law.
They're only illegal under an unjust interpretation of the law.
Anything a liberal doesnt like is "unjust".
Its the fucking law, and there are reasons for it. If you wanna change the law, call your congressman. The legislative and executive branches are clearly pro-illegal these days.
how is it unjust?
Are countries not allowed to set immigration terms?
The law doesn't need to change. It's just been applied incorrectly.
The 14th Amendment states "[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
You can be naturalized in the United States by a state of enlightenment when you embrace America and Americans. It's natural that someone like that is a naturalized American. Many of these undocumented Americans are mentally Americans (hence naturalized Americans) whereas many documented Americans have never truly been mentally American (merely born), hence the desire among them to see the destruction of the American government and prayer for the End of Days.
It's a matter of the text. The text is clear, but has been perverted by activists wanting to corrupt the Constitution.
So when are you gonna throw out all the unenlightened people?
You know, the ones who arent "progressive"?
