There are no illegal immigrants in America

A handsome admission, but your arguments would get a much more considered reception if you could avoid hurling the ordure, expecially among the retiring newcomers like me, who never say boo to a goose......

Yay, Learner, I went through that phase too.
Just come and hang out in the nice threads, mostly in home base, nothingland, images, that sort of thing.
This one should have been in politics, and of course those tend to get snippy.
But yes, I too don't find name-calling persuasive. Rather the reverse, in fact.

Yet the goose told quite a different story.

immigrants contribute BILLIONS more to the economy than they use in services

I kinda understand who pays for the services. But just who gets all the money from the economy? Oh right, that's part of my $29 buck raise.

Now then, there is hope -look at how Merc has blossomed.....

The conclusion of that same article - a very thought provoking read.

This is a situation in some ways similar to the Great Depression that led to the rise of the Nazis in the 1930s. Is this where we are heading once again, with fear, rising Fascism and political assassinations? The difference is that the “Jewish threat” in the 1930s was entirely fictional, whereas the “Islamic threat” now is very real. However, it is precisely the trauma caused by the events of 70 years ago that is clouding our judgement this time, since any talk at all about the threat posed by Muslim immigration or about preserving our own culture is being dismissed as “the same rhetoric as the Nazis used against the Jews.” Europeans have been taught to be so scared of our own shadows that we are incapable of seeing that darkness can come from the outside, too. Maybe Europe will burn again, in part as a belated reaction to the horrors of Auschwitz.

38 pages of what? Only 14 in this thread.

Adjust your preferences enough, and it could be all on one page...

Do either of you solve for anything. Just arguments with no solutions.

Can we send that threadbomb to the place where the female in the bath and the gentleman with an extremely flexible orifice were exiled?
