Yup, it’s me. I don’t know how to change it, and I used my real name before so it was changed to Joe Doe.

I tend to be conflicted on the issues around immigration in that I think people should be free to pursue a better life for themselves with no regard for lines on a map, but that still has to have limits. For instance, when you bring your filth of a lifestyle here and begin wreaking havoc, the consequences should be swift and severe.

The idea that people should be able to move around without regard for lines on a map is insane, IMHO. I’m not sure when this kind of communist claptrap took hold in people’s minds, but it’s not a “we are the world” kind of planet. Consider any policy in terms of micro-macro scale before accepting it. Would you let someone move into your house just because they wanted to? Just because they thought it was nicer than where they’re staying? Because if you can’t make that kind of idea work in the singular, how on earth is it going to work in the plural? Mass immigration destabilizes the exit country, destabilizes the entry country, and is frankly terrible for workers. A rather obvious example of that is the story your started this thread about.

Well that’s where the idea of not bringing that filth in here. If you want to show up here and start a business, employ people, produce etc, that’s a good thing. I’d guess a fair number of these people didn’t come here, or they weren’t raised with those values if they were born here.

It’s also something I struggle with because I worked with a ton of kids who were the children of immigrants, often from Nigeria, who were incredible. Respectful, well liked by their peers, hardworking and generally the kids that will make American society better over time.

Our immigration system is so broken and inefficient.
