"We are not opposed to anyone coming to America for a better life, we are opposed to the way they are coming in and then thumbing their noses at the law abiding citizens. It is wrong and you just cannot get away with it any longer. If you want to be an American then you must do it the right way. Any politician, who willfully ignores our laws is not fit to govern. Those politicians must be voted out."
It's this kind of confusion that has caused the problem we face. If you are OK with anyone coming here for a better life, you have destroyed your own argument to keep them out. If they have a moral right to come here, you have no moral right to keep them out. This is our country and they have no right to be here if we say they don't. I have developed a way to address this kind of moral confusion. When some person, even a well meaning person, spouts this line, I ask: "Are you willing to give up your job so that someone else can have a better life?" "Are you willing to hand over your house to illegal aliens becuase your house is built on land that was taken from Indians 300 years ago?" You cannot defeat an enemy by accepting your enemy's moral premises. This is our country. WE have a right to exclude anyone for any reason and if they want a "better life," let them create one in their own land like we did in ours. |

1. How does being supportive of legal immigration destroy an argument against illegal immigration? 2. Where in the quote is a "moral right" to immigration being espoused?

Quote:
The bogus talk about "illegal" vs. "legal" immigration is a white flag of surrender. People who hide behind their support for "legal immigration" are invariably the strongest opponents to "amnesty" that would legalize illegal aliens. And with good reason. Most people don't object to them being here because they're "illegal". Most people object because illegal aliens are third world primitives and savages who are not compatible with advanced modern civilization. You cannot have a first world country with a third world population. Seriously. Do you think these savages would behave any differently if they were legal? I don't. If you want confirmation of this, read the LA Times Sunday edition 5.23,10, article about the up and coming industry in Los Angeles: An "academy" for certifying "gang interventionists." http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...ext-crime.html Teachers are being laid off, but LA is increasing its budget for an "academy" to give "certification" to "gang interventionists" all of whom are former gang members(!) and whose primary job is to try to talk latino gang bangers out of killing each other. Science, math, history, etc., teachers are being laid off for budgetary reasons, but the city has money for former gang bangers who will enjoy full employment at taxpayer expense. I have never seen anything so stupid. 2. The quote does not use the word "moral right", but that is the underlying premise of people who defend immigration of any sort. |

Second, while it is true that there are a huge percentage of immigrants that come from "third world countries" we have to ask ourselves why that is the case? By far the majority of immigrants leave their countries of origin because they want a better life. If you were on of those "primitives" and "savages" you too would want to get here, and live a life far better than the life you would live in your home country. Quote:
Obviously you do not read your own posts. So your problem is immigration, period. Why do you fear people from other countries, cultures or elasticities? Immigration has helped this country. Why do I believe that? Quite simply because America is an ideal, and not an ethnicity or race.
