Judge Napolitano "Immigration is a right."

[Deborah K]

White people didn't invent ignorance, fear, or hatred. It's common to every race. But this isn't about color.

But it seems as though some folks here are trying to make it about 'color'.

 

[sailingaway]

But it seems as though some folks here are trying to make it about 'color'.

yeah, because then you look like a hateful person and they can dismiss your real concerns.

 

[otherone]

But it seems as though some folks here are trying to make it about 'color'.

Yes. Yes they are. I agree with you. Undocumented aliens is not a racial issue.

Obviously religion is only one part of culture....but you do recognize that there is no one American culture? That those living in Baton Rouge LA differ culturally from those living in Fon du Lac Wisconsin? And even within these areas, different cultures exist?

I think there is an American culture that most Americans can identify with. If you were to ask a foreigner about the American culture, you'd probably hear that: We love our sports and athletes, our movies and movie stars, we tend to be violent, we prize higher education, and we strive to obtain 'the good life', we have taboos in our culture, we're known for our rugged individualism i.e. leave our guns and religion alone! We celebrate our National Independence, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. We love our gatherings around the BBQ and the swimming pool (hole). We try to keep up with the Jones's. Granted some of these values transcend America, but yeah, I would say we have a culture.

Compare everything I just wrote to Cambodia, or Zimbabwe, etc. We have a culture.

And you have certainly mastered the English language. Did you get that from a public school?

Hahaha, well actually yes. But Marvel comics helped a lot with written English and grammar (I'm not kidding - the grammar was usually spot-on.).

If you were to ask a foreigner about the American culture, you'd probably hear that:

haha!
I guess foreigners would have their stereotypes about us, too! Like we're all a bunch of cowboys! bangbang!

You guys will be surprised.

For all the globalization in the 21st Century, people from some countries think everybody in America is a drug-snorting, sexually promiscuous, irreverent, atheistic, liberal nut. They think everyone in America is like the typical urban type in New York City. Then they come here, meet small-town folk, and realize MANY people in America are still quite old-fashioned and conservative.

I can never get over why the open border agents bring up Mexicans all the time.

It must be a fetish.

That or THEY'RE the real racists...

That's how many Saudis view us. I'm friends with a woman from Ecuador who is extremely conservative, she thinks this is a country of free-loaders and whores.

Yes. Yes they are. I agree with you. Undocumented aliens is not a racial issue.

Its not a racial issue, but it emotionally stems from it. No one is passionate about stopping illegal euro descended canadians. This would be like any ho hum topic if mexians and asians looked like europeans.

 

[Lucille]

Not according to Rothbard:

Actually, Rothbard held the same position his whole life: there is no right to immigrate (as he writes in Ethics of Liberty) but rather immigration should be by invitation, not invasion, as consistent private-property rights economics would dictate. In the exact opposite of what a market policy would be, the state forbids invited people to immigrate, but permits hordes who have no invitation to come on down.

 

[No Free Beer]

When you get down to details, everyone who wants the federal government to regulate immigration ultimately has to be for that.

Haha.

I find it rather amusing that the same people who are all for open borders, bashed Obama for going into Pakistan to get OBL without respect for Pakistan's sovereignty.

Interesting....

Navy Seals are immigrants?

Navy Seals went into Pakistan without any respect for Pakistan's sovereignty! At least that's what people say on here.

At the very same time, Open Border Agents, aka: Transnationalists, bashed Obama for that very thing!

I'm still laughing.

White Canadians don't flood over the borders to find work here because they aren't under the thumb of a corrupt, tyrannical system like the Mexicans are. If Mexico was flourishing economically, its people wouldn't want to leave in droves. If the situation were reversed, it wouldn't change our predicament of having to compete with illegals for jobs.

You understand that the military are agents of a state?

And the UN.

Maybe their laws should override ours.

Why would anyone choose to hire an undocumented alien over a native?

It emotionally stems from wanting limited government. If californians and new yorkers weren't already part of the union, I wouldn't want an open border with them either. I'd only want the ones who were yearning to breathe free.
