Thread: Open Borders: A Libertarian Reappraisal

  1. #61
    I think diminished gang violence and improvement of living standards would count in the longterm, because ultimately people immigrate to leave something, the effects of our WoD being the most likely something. People historically don't just decide en masse to leave their ancestral homes for something better, there's usually an agitator behind them for impetus. Ending the war would corrode the cartels' US gangs.

    Got it, but I don't mind that Guatemalans et al are coming here.

    The WoD should end yesterday, but among the reasons isn't the cessation of immigration from the south.

    Stopping immigration's not the point, but relaxing immigration, so the South and Central Americans aren't hemorrhaging populations, but those individuals and families, who still want to come here for better opportunities can. Our covert wars have caused the corruption and turf wars destroying their economies, displacing thousands, maybe millions, who would otherwise be content to live in their countries.

    If you mean that you favor less restrictive immigration policy, I entirely agree.

    Immigration from South and Central America is related to the government's WoD. Once we've stopped our meddling war south of the border, then we can evaluate whether the system is adequate to meet relaxed demand. Judging the immigration system's ability to meet the stress of the refugee crisis is going to return false impressions.

    So for a "decent taco" you are willing to have your entire nation, culture, rights, freedoms, wealth, and future stolen out from under you by imported welfare voters?

    Wow, its almost like you are trading EVERYTHING for nothing.

    You want those things to go away? Great, now tell me how importing so many people that will make electing people who will repeal such things impossible is anything but insane?

    Yeah, its not like NPR is wrong, lying, or both, right?

    http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank...gly-democrats/

    You want to live in a nation wide California? A one party state in which the election only gives more and more power to a handful of wealthy elite while you fewer and fewer rights?

    Because that is the end result of such mass immigration.

    So you think that most immigrants are going to vote for Jeff Sessions? Really? I don't think you thought your post all the way through. Your Jeff Sessions voters are those alt right national socialist yahoos out causing a ruckus in Charlottesville with fighting against the globalist socialist yahoos. Both sides are socialists.

    As for welfare voters, its funny how the same people who argue against immigration on the welfare front then turn around and are against H1B visas that go to people who, by definition, can't be on welfare.

    Funny isnt? They condemn anyone who views large groups of people as having similarities as "statist" but then view all of humanity with the lens of "everyone wants the same things that I want"...

    ...No, that was Antifa, The Alt Right had a permit to protest, then the Mayor told the police to stand down and drive them toward the antifa and get hurt as they stood back and did nothing, just like Baltimore with BLM, just like at the battle Sacromento, bearkly, San Jose, Chicago (wow I am noticing a pattern here).

    Nope, one side has a few misguiding socialists in its ranks, one is NOTHING BUT socialists.

    More over the Alt Right has done more for Liberty, limited government, etc in just 5 years then "Libertarian" ever have and likely EVER will just by helping to preventing Clinton from being elected, let alone helping to elect Trump.

    Your welcome you ingrate.

    As for welfare voters, its funny how the same people who argue against immigration on the welfare front then turn around and are against H1B visas that go to people who, by definition, can't be on welfare.
    Yeah, why import more labor that will reduce the wages of Americans?

    They still abuse the system, likes not act like their are NO H1B visa holders on welfare, or their wives are not claiming to be single mothers for extra gibs, ok?

    You are made you can not make any arguments, you are mad you can not counter the lies that have been spewed for years about immigration, trade, borders, genetics, IQ, etc.

    The facts win in the end.

    There was an old Countess of Bray,

    And you might think it odd when I say,

    That despite her high station, rank and education,

    She always spelled "$#@!" with a K.

    Very clever. You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to helmuth_hubener again.

    Most immigrant groups diversify in their voting patters over time. Take the Irish for instance. No guarantee on them voting Democrat these days.

    I see you totally ignored my point about Jeff Sessions and asset forfeiture. That's probably because you know that I'm right and that my point about Jeff Sessions destroys your whole argument. Attacks on liberty come from both parties.

    But since you seem to be solely concerned about welfare and socialism I assume that means you support H1B visas? Those immigrants are, by definition, coming for high end jobs as opposed to welfare.

    Total $#@! talking point, the left is FAR, FAR, FAR more hostile to liberty and the people that create/sustain it.

    No, I oppose h1B visas as they lower wages, pay, increase the cost of living and displace Americans inside their their nation and its workforce.
