Immigration - Demography vs. Border Control

elSicomoro · 05-03-2007, 03:27 PM

I'm all about letting people come here...the more the merrier. Of course, not willy-nilly...we gotta check 'em out and shit. But we started as a country of immigrants...we should remain so.

I have no problem with LEGAL immigrants. If you cross the border illegally you get to turn around and go back home and take all your kids, mothers, grandmothers, etc, with you. I don't care if they were born here or not. Circumvent the process or pay the price.

That doesn't really bother me per se. Obviously, I'm concerned about it from a security standpoint. But it can't be that big of a deal because we really haven't been doing much to stop it all these years, IMO.

So when the water gets up to your chin it's no big deal because you've never done anything about it in the past.

Point taken. But the targeting of illegal immigrants seems to have gained traction only since 9/11...and I suspect that it's partially rooted in xenophobia and racism. I'm not sure illegal immigration is as big of a problem as some make it out to be. After all, the 9/11 bastards came to this country legally.

Since 9/11 the numbers of illegals has grown damn near exponentially.
