War!

No I didn't. He has no point. Just wave in millions of Mexican, Central and South American undocumented people. That's what he's saying.
That's stupid. It was stupid before 9/11 and it's absurd now.

Well you all know that I believe if Americans are serious about free trade and market principles, they'll open their market to the most important commodity-labour.

Why not have unrestricted borders? With a powerful system of international regulations on wages and benefits, over, say, 50 years things should equalize out enough between the have and have-not nations to avoid mass migration distruptions.

The reality is that Americans have been enjoying a priviledges lifestyle beyond that possible for most other people and they are now entering a long period of painful readjustment and equalization...but it's a transition that will ultimately lead to a fairer and more prosperous world for all people, not just Americans.

Buckle down and grit your teeth, America, because there isn't much you can do in the face of vast historical, economic, and demographic forces. But take heart that there will be a better tomorrow.

Sloww, would you support lessening immigration restrictions so that more immigrants could come here legally, thus, making it so less people would have to resort to coming here illegally?

[SlowwHand]

No way. Not happrning. Not when the nearest in growth to health care is security. It's not going to happen, and you better grit your teeth.

Oerdin, educate this. STFU. 40% of Dallas, a long way from the border, are Hispanic. Half of those are illegal. Thats fact.

Tell me when you want to talk.

Do you think you live closer to the border then me? Do you think Texas has more hispanics then California? Hell, do you in any way challange the basic fact that only 5,000 unskilled immgrants can legally enter the US per year worldwide (not counting family reuniting waivers)?

You displayed your ignorance, I called you on it, and now you've ignored the facts I've presented and responded with yet another nonsequitor. You really do need to learn the basic facts. The reason so many of them are illegal is because it is virtually impossible for unskilled or low skilled people to get legal entry. Thus they become illegal. It's that simple.

Response to Sava or Seeker? Because if it was to Sava, then Oerdin has you over a barrel, with both your feet in the air, spreading your cheeks and waiting for your 'examination'.

[SlowwHand]

It was to Seeker, the person previous to me. I'm not Harry Potter.

It's not that illegals can't be legal, if they desired. They could. Rather not. Why not? Absolutely no obligations. No added value to anything here.

This is, as others more eloquent than myself have pointed out, utterly false.

Oh, and I would also like to see these magic rights that illegals have and citizens do not.

[Ben Kenobi]

Sowell covers that in the article I posted.

I'm sure slowwy is familiar with what he wrote. The deal is that illegals can get away with crimes without being charged or arrested that legals cannot.

[SlowwHand]

Of course they can, Ben.
And if you want to get into construction, roofing, whatever . It's cash. No social security or any tax withheld. And still you have the security concerns of millions just given amnesty.
And don't say only mideasterns are a concern, because then I'll step on you.

[Ben Kenobi]

I'm sorta partial to Mexicans.

[SlowwHand]

I'm not talking about Mexican people as a people. They're people. No more, no less. I'm talking undocumented entries.

[Sava]

Is that a yes or a no to my post, Sloww?

It's a serious question, BTW.

[SlowwHand]

Sorry. Yes I would. I like immigrants. Everyone is an immigrant. They just need to be documented.
