I'm a minority? But I'm white. How can this be?

I'm perfectly fine with Immigration. At least American immigration that is. For one, you can't blame someone for trying for a better life. You can't be an American and say that you love your country so much, but not if you weren't born in it. We should be proud that so many others on this earth look to us for a life worth living. Two, most of the Immigrants that come here are Christian. Not only would we be doing injustice by turning them away when the Word of God speaks so clearly against not helping our fellow followers, but we also need more of them, especially in today's world. You give those Hispanic Immigrants the right to vote, and see how they vote. You'd be surprised to find what they stand and don't stand for because of their beliefs.

One man a nation does not make. Do I blame them? No, I blame the morons that let them in vote "cheap" labor and for votes.

You can't be an American and say that you love your country so much, but not if you weren't born in it. We should be proud that so many others on this earth look to us for a life worth living.

1. Yes you can.

2. We should be proud that they should like to themselves to fix their nations and make their lives worth living.

Why do we have to lower are stranded of living, income, and induce higher rates of poverty, crime, disease, and political and culture degradation?

Why?...I want an answer.

so very, very wrong. we are not, is it injustice to turn away a mob of starving people from your home if you barely have enough food to fed your family, knowing full well if you give it away your family will starve to death? Not a chance in Hell.

The idea that it is some how injustice to protect your nation and culture from those that might harm or replace it is just and very righteous thing to do.

How can you make such claims? Why not take them into your house? Where you can feed them? Where you can deal with the issues they create? Where you can pay all the costs of their presence? Where you can be held liable in court should they break the law?

Furthermore, what did Jesus say about Charity starting at home first?

If you see a man broken down by the side of the road Jesus would want you to him out if he broke into your house that is a different story notice that being compassionate is no one of the ten commandments "thou shall be compassionate" its not in there.

Because god knows their will be self righteous people who will use a wrapped definition of what compassion is to gain power and hurt significantly more people in the process under the guise of compassion

God did not have to include the commandment to be compassionate because following his commandments are the most compassionate things you do for you following human beings in the first place.

I am not sure if you have noticed this but it sure looks like alot of people are wanting to leave from south of the border. Why? why they have a totally statist government like you left winger want they have universal health, high taxes, very strict gun control laws if not a total ban on gun ownership.

but they don't want to be there. You would think you guys would pick up on this..But you don`t.

and by trying to accommodate these illegals you leftist will have to emboldened a more statist government with more stiatist ideals, plans, programs and systems more and more making and reducing our nation into the same hell hole these illegal have tried to flee from, only were are we going to run to? No where there is where.

They can try and move that border north all you want and "reclaim" the land you think still belongs to you. You are just going to have a bigger version of the same oppressive government and failed systems you wanted to get away from..But then again it wont happen because Amnesty will never happen and the Fence is going up..

Stop prostituting the word of God and corrupting Jesus to be a idol of a ideologue based on theft, terror, and tyranny.

Seeing how they either stood by and let their nation`s fall into corruption, or actively supported it, we have no need for them..



You give those Hispanic Immigrants the right to vote, and see how they vote. You'd be surprised to find what they stand and don't stand for because of their beliefs.

We have, we have seen what they do in Border Areas and the State of California, Left wing, and filled with crime, poverty, debt. The same things they fled from..We are not going to risk America becoming a 3rd world Latin American nation so Leftist can have a cheap voter block.

If you're going to judge every person that crosses the threshold on the border fence as being thieves hell bent on terror then you are the one corrupting Jesus. They can't fix their nations. Our country was founded for that very reason. To escape tyranny. You want to pick tomatoes for $8 and hour and buy them for $10 a pound, good for you. If you think American's will do that job if immigration was under control, you're crazy. I wouldn't do it for $15 an hour. Neither would most people who chose to pursue a college degree.

I'm perfectly fine with immigration, too...LEGAL immigration, that is. Now, the amount of legal immigration we allow can be discussed and, in my opinion, should be a reflection on the conditions in our own country. The conditions in some other country...or the conditions of their citizens...should not be a consideration at all. Neither should any thought of what religion they follow or how they might vote.
 

Anyone whose ancestors were not immigrants say "Here!".

Every single persons ancestors are immigrants, the native Americans came from Asia during the last ice age, it's really irrelevant to the discussion at hand, the wooly mammoths didn't require visas and customs, too bad for them

You are conflating immigration and illegal immigration. I suppose some of the respondents did as well.
 
So what time line do you put on it?

Timelines are irrelevant, we need to live in the present, the east is developed and expensive to live in, the west is experiencing water resource shortages and stagnant economic growth. Our lifeboat is full, no point in swamping it.
 
Every single persons ancestors are immigrants, the native Americans came from Asia during the last ice age, it's really irrelevant to the discussion at hand, the wooly mammoths didn't require visas and customs, too bad for them

What it does do is put the burden of proof squarely on the shoulder of those that want to stop immigration. Calling for it just is not enough.
 
If you're going to judge every person that crosses the threshold on the border fence as being thieves hell bent on terror then you are the one corrupting Jesus.

Tell me do you leave your door wide open at night, and think everyone who crosses it is friendly?

No? Well then, judge not less you be judged..

I do not think everyone who comes across is a threat, am I willing to risk it? Not a chance in Hell..


They can't fix their nations.


That might be the case, but we will not suffer for their failures...We are not the world`s poverty program, welfare office, soup kitten, or police officer.

It is wrong, and unjust for us to be and it will bankrupt us to be. Enslaving future generations under trillion in debt in the name of "generosity" is disingenuous and treason at their finest.


Our country was founded for that very reason. To escape tyranny.


Well, I think you mean to say is, not was America still exist but not if things do not change.

It is founded on Liberty, Freedom, Self Governance, and Unalienable Rights that no elected official could violate. And above all the means of Preservation of those values, rights and the culture that discovered them.

Immigration was just a by product of the success of immigration and has to be strictly controlled in order to persevere the culture and nation as a whole.

Really? Who did them before these illegals came? More over its 2015, if it was not for "cheap" labor we would have machines doing it, which would create a whole new industry with high pay jobs filled with Americans, but "some people" are in the way..

In short you want Immigration to help not harm or change America? Great, now vote the right way so it can happen.
 
Anyone whose ancestors were not immigrants say "Here!".

Then no one would, this idea that America is a "nation of immigrates" is a joke.

All nation`s are a "nation of immigrates" human migrated all across the globe.
 
Timelines are irrelevant, we need to live in the present, the east is developed and expensive to live in, the west is experiencing water resource shortages and stagnant economic growth. Our lifeboat is full, no point in swamping it.

So you have these views, if I may ask who did you vote for in the last election? Which party do you support?

None of your business

And

It depends upon who is running from each party

If you vote for Leftist who want cheap welfare voter or Neo cons you need to change your voting habits, or you actions will harm your wants and views..

Exactly that. So it is more a question of doing it well than of stopping it.

That's why I don't vote for a Democrat.
 

I can't speak with authority about the situation in the US, but I can say that here in Canada we generally welcome LEGAL immigration for many reasons but one of the primary ones is selfish. We understand clearly that our lifestyle and the success of our country and its economy depend on an ever increasing young and vibrant workforce and since Canadians, like Americans I suspect, aren't having as many children as in the past and as the Canadian population is aging, like America I suspect, the viability of our social programs and safety net would be in jeopardy without the influx of more young people seeking a better life here in Canada.

It's a shame that people conflate illegal aliens with legal immigration and determine all to be bad. They aren't. Toronto, where I live, is now more than 50% non-white and filled with cultural communities from all over the world and it makes Toronto dynamic, interesting, and just plain fun. And for the vast majority, we get along just fine.

As a Conservative, it astounds me that you have not yet realized the potential that is immigration.

Immigration Gives Catholicism a Boost in the United States

"What explains the resilience of the Catholic Church in the face of declining membership over a lifetime? New immigrants arriving in the United States—many Catholics from Latin America—have helped offset the decline in religious affiliation among the U.S.-born population. Figure 1 shows the parallel growth in the U.S. Catholic and Latino population between 1970 and 2000."

Do you really have no idea what it means to have more followers of Christ on your side, standing behind you, helping you in those battles that Conservatives and Republicans fight so desperately to win. Hispanics Catholics are big on pro-life, family values, Christian values, work ethics, etc etc. They're just as Conservative as those trying to force them out, but you don't give them a chance to show you that. Like I stated, you'd be surprised if you gave them a chance.

1. So if immigration was no longer an issue, I could unlock my door at night?

2. No one here is suffering for their governments failure. You want to be a gardener, go ahead. No one is stopping you. You want to stand outside Home Depot looking for work, go ahead. No one is stopping you.

3. Immigration will not harm anything that you feel is under threat. Exact opposite actually. More people will have Liberty and Freedom.

4. it would cost more to run the machines than allowing immigrants to do it. Why do you think you can buy 4 tacos for $2 dollars at a fast-food joint? Because the cost to run a human is based on the laws of the state. Not the humans hard drive.

I am a conservative, but I am not religious. I don't care if legal immigrants are Christian, Buddhist, Shinto, Sufi or not religious at all...and neither should our government.
