Racism, the next addition to published argument fallacies.
On the "civilized countries of the world" topic...
This asinine concept has only showed up in Europe recently(taking in large immigrant groups), and it's working out lovely(sarcasm). They know who/what's coming far more than we do.
I have no issues with latin americans. In my racist view; I feel they're a good immigration fit for my country and share many of the same values. (free herring : most of my friends are mexican).
I just want to choose.
I'm also ok with "calling it done" with a fairly large segment. If you've been here for a chunk of time, I figure you've paid enough sales tax, or the witholding on your fake ssn and never got to settle it right, that you're ok. No crimes, we can work it out. Maybe your employer writes a letter of recommendation, and pays a fucking fine for employing you and gets off easy.
In no fashion are we "shipping them all back". I just want to move on and decide who's gonna stay. Answer should be something like "most of them". Let's at least run people through, tighten up the border, and sift out what we don't want to stay. Or provide worker documents in our existing structure, in a mass fashion.
Our current immigration debacle is not good for the immigrants or the US. They get taken advantage of, and so do we.
Maybe then we can deal with H1B bullshit, which robs good paying jobs.
Can anyone point me to year by year mexico spending by province? My google fu failed me.
