Immigrant Children Raped, Punched, Kicked in Border Patrol Custody: Complaint

I think the greatest flaw in our immigration policy is that we make it so easy to become an undocumented immigrant, as opposed to a legal immigrant. If we streamline the immigration process and grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, there will be far less motivation to immigrate illegally. And it's a no brainer that these accusations need to be investigated, regardless of citizenship.



The Constitution Party is calling for a moratorium on immigration, actually. I'd bet there were many Republican voters who would favor their party endorsing this policy as well, if it weren't for losing moderate voters.



Indeed. I'd be curious as to why so many Canadians would be interested in moving to a nation where their healthcare is not free and they must genuinely worry about crime.

How do you think granting amnesty to illegal immigrants would discourage illegal immigration? I don't get it.

That alone won't. I want to do this in combination with streamlining the immigration process. If we show potential and current immigrants that we are not going to be hostile to them by making it easier to become a legal citizen, they will have more incentive to come legally than illegally.

And how would you streamline the process? What about the process CAN be streamlined when we have loads of waiting immigrants and not enough people to process them all in a timely fashion.

It's currently very difficult to become a citizen, even if you immigrate legally. We should be accepting anyone into our country who is not a violent criminal. We also need to reduce requirements to become a citizen in order for this to occur. Under the current system, if we stopped denying people access into the country, you're correct that we would be overwhelmed, which is why we need to abandon the majority of programs which attempt to "integrate" immigrants into our society.

1. Why should we do that? I disagree. We should only allow those in who can contribute to the community/economy.
2. Absolutely not, there are general public health concerns, and I don't really want ANY criminals being allowed citizenship in our country, violent or not. We have enough home grown ones, thank you.
3. Why would we do that? We want the best of the best, not a bunch of slouches.
4. I couldn't disagree with you more. None of your ideas help America.
 
Do you have any evidence to suggest that someone's decision to immigrate here illegally means they will refuse to work?

Again, I didn't say that… again, stick to the words said. I said in a nation where there are not enough jobs for the citizens, if you bring in non-citizens in massive numbers, there will not magically suddenly be work for them. If there is no work for them, they will be relying on the government for support, not paying taxes.

Then explain this:

Saying that immigration should not be made easier does not mean that one is against immigration. Do you really not understand that?

There is no proof of that, and the evidence I presented suggested otherwise. You could back up your statement by providing a source or providing a reason as to why my source is invalid other than that its "left-wing bs."

You misunderstand. By against immigration, I mean that you want it to be difficult for immigrants to legally come here and you think immigration is bad for the economy.
 
Illegal immigration is not good. It creates social problems--health, crime, education-- that are pushing some communities to the brink.
 
There is no excusing that kind of treatment, but the fact remains that if we secured our borders none of these things would happen.
 
Yes this horrible mistreatment of all the illegals that risk life and limb to come to America must end. America is the scum of all countries. All the millions that have sacrificed everything to get here will tell you what a horrible place America is. Odd we don't see other countries knowing how horrible it is here for the new arrivals do not offer to take them in to the country...........I wonder why.
 
Then simply return to your homeland. "80 percent said they did not get enough food and water". Exactly how much food and water would make them happy? "...had to use open toilets". Do they have toilets where they came from? Should we build stainless steel private quarter for these illegals with Charmin Ultra paper? Who are all these advocacy groups that are complaining and what per cent of their annual income will go to building news homes and free education and medical care for these people?
 
Still havent answered the question. Should there be an investigation or not?

If these people are deported, and I do not say "Children", because largely, they are not...

If they are deported, then Americans will not be able to rape them.

So, clearly, they need to ALL be deported immediately to protect them.

If their parents are deported they'll probably take their children with them. They might also check the addresses where these children are going to see whether these people are illegal also. If they are legal then the children should be allowed to stay. If not they all get deported.
