Reply #192: I understand we have a border, your humanity notwithstanding. [View All]

What they are fleeing is irrelevant. We don't set our immigration policy based upon the suckiness of the world in general, or we'd have 250 million immigrants a year.

We have a country, it's our tribe. We place our tribe above others, because that's what our constitution says. The constitution is official. The poem on the Statue of Liberty is not. Harsh? Yes, but that's where we are.

We can't simply sit back and let 5 million foreigners a year come over the border from Cali to Texas. The US belongs to the citizens, and the citizenry is overwhelmingly in favor of tighter borders to stop illegal immigration.

But illegal immigration has fat cats working for it. You're in bed with the Waltons on this one. All the big Pub fat cats love illegal immigrants. They don't have to put up with the demands and requirements of those pesky citizens.
