    A New Moral Imagination on Immigration

    A New Moral Imagination on Immigration
    By [Rep] Pramila Jayapal - December 3, 2018

    When my parents used all their savings to send me across the oceans from India at the age of sixteen, they made the ultimate sacrifice of separating from their child without knowing if we would ever live on the same continent again. They did so because they believed America was where I would get the best education and have the most opportunity. It took me seventeen years—involving an alphabet soup of visas and the abiding fear that I might not be able to stay in my new home—to get my US citizenship, in 2000.
    ...
    Just a year later, in the wake of September 11, I went on to found and lead what became the largest immigrant advocacy organization in Washington state. We organized tens of thousands of immigrants, faith leaders, labor unions, and businesses, engaging in a national conversation on immigration, identity, and the need to reform our outdated laws.
    ...
    It wasn’t until 1965 that the national-origin quota system was abolished and replaced with a system whereby immigrants were admitted on the basis of relationships to immediate family members or employers. The last major overhaul of the immigration system to increase legal admissions caps, in 1990, focused largely on employment-based visas.
    ...
    As America grows and ages, our economy needs immigrants to replenish America’s work force as baby-boomers age.
    ...
    There is also still bipartisan consensus that we must fulfill our moral and legal obligations (under US and international law) to take asylum seekers and refugees from around the world. ...and leaders from all faiths (including evangelicals) have emphasized the need to strengthen, not cut, our refugee resettlement program.
    ...
    An accountable, transparent, and humane plan of enforcement against both employers and employees who continue to break the law is vital, but it’s important to note that with an underlying system of laws that actually works and meets the needs of our economy, we will dramatically reduce the need for enforcement.
    ...
    We should sing strongly the benefits of family immigration, which has been the bedrock of the US system since its founding—bringing us strivers of all kinds to fill jobs at every skill level. Family connections have also provided the essential support that immigrants need in order to integrate and become self-sufficient more quickly, contributing to the economy through their work, taxes, and civic contributions—think of grandparents taking care of grandchildren while parents work or of children taking care of aging parents. Those closest relatives who come in through the family-based system bring great benefits—to their families and to our economy—and their applications should be processed immediately.
    ...
    Finally, we must recognize our strong national interest in development, diplomacy, and the protection of human rights around the world. ... The logical, cost-effective way to address the root causes of migration is to focus our efforts on building equitable economies and rights in countries that send the biggest flows of people to America.
    ...
    And in spite of the rhetoric and the cruel policies of Trump and other Republicans, Americans do not actually believe that immigration is some unspeakable “third-rail” of American politics. In fact, in the history of public polling, immigration has never been more popular.

    Progressive leader Rep. Jayapal joins asylum seekers at border
    RACHAEL BADE - 12/01/2018

    House Progressive leader Pramila Jayapal will join a "caravan" of migrants seeking asylum as they try to enter the United States from Tijuana on Saturday afternoon — an attempt to spotlight what Democrats view as the inhumane effects of President Donald Trump’s border crackdown.

    The Washington Democrat, a rising star in the House Democratic Caucus, flew to the border Friday and is gathering information on the treatment of migrants from Central America by both Mexican and U.S. authorities. In the afternoon she will follow a group of migrants trying to claim asylum to ensure they’re getting a fair shake, she said.

    Progressive House Dem pushes for vote on 'Medicare for all' bill
    Peter Sullivan - 11/13/18

    Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), a top progressive Democrat in the House, on Tuesday called for hearings and a vote on "Medicare for all" legislation now that her party has taken back the House.

    “We are going to be pushing for it to get a hearing ... to have this debate on the floor,” Jayapal said on an organizing call with the National Nurses United union on Tuesday night.

    Jayapal, who is co-chair of the Medicare for All Caucus in the House, said it is not enough for Democrats to just say they are cosponsors of Medicare for all. Now that Democrats have won back the House, she said, “when we have that majority we need to make sure that we put it to use.”

    From another thread, and as a comment on the motivations of this new Congresswoman:

    Businesses (and GOP) want cheap and pliable labor. Democrats want voters and new people who will depend upon them and government for support. Many people want to bring over more of their family or what they think of as “their people”. Others with vested interests consider themselves global in nature. Religious and political groups are the biggest in that category. Religions don’t want borders that will hinder the expansion of their religion. They believe that new immigrants are ripe for conversion, especially if they are aided in their immigration. Political ideologies, like religious ones, also want to convert, and being global in nature, they often want to convert foreign lands to their ideology, often by force.

    Look to the hidden agenda...

    Foreign policy? Other people’s business? These are strange, obsolete terms, comrade. For the Comintern, there shall be no borders, no nations, and most importantly, no personal or “other people’s” business.

    Nah, never happen.

    Granted, my reaction grows more extreme every day, as the invaders get more bold and their goals become more clear and more extreme.

    But there's not going to be a fight of any kind.

    In twenty years people like me will be dead.

    You're younger, so you may still be here...but you'll part of an even smaller hated minority.

    Eventually every trace of what was will be washed away, absorbed and drowned in a wave of polyglot flotsam humanity.

    That includes the self loathing Quislings and idiot collaborators.

    In fact, they'll be the first to get lined up.

    I don't believe that, there are an awful lot of people who aren't committed to one side of the issue or the other and as things get worse they will join our side out of self defense.

    It will happen in Europe first because they are farther along the path than we are, they may be even more infected with liberalism than the US but the instinct to survive will kick in and it will make the Yellow Vest protests look like a picnic.

    The election of Trump is proof that Americans are beginning to awake to the danger at an earlier stage than Europe and therefore we have chance for a milder reaction, I don't believe that Europe will be able to avoid a massive genocidal overreaction.

    Let's move our conversation to this thread so we don't derail the other one.

    You seem to genuinely oppose the Pope and the Jesuits so you need to ask yourself why you are on the same side as the Jesuit Pope when it comes to open borders.
    The Jesuits have been spreading socialism/communism disguised as Catholicism for a very long time in Latin America and now they want to use the cultures that they have radicalized to conquer America.

    By culturally socialist/communist I mean that they believe and promote the idea that the rich should be robbed to give to the poor, their belief in that eventually created the mess that Mexico and most S. American countries are today.

You always seem to give the bankers a pass and blame the little guy whenever you can.
    Both are part of the problem and I blame the banksters with frequency.
    The banksters want open borders and uncontrolled immigration, that puts YOU on their side.

    What needs to be established in the minds of Americans on this issue is the unified war against them by the elites, the politicians, the news media, the invaders and the end result in how it will effect them. The sooner that becomes established in the minds of the people of who their enemies are in their life struggle the better chance there is to turn things around.

    All it takes is a small percentage of Americans to grow a back bone and stand up to them. How hard can it be when clearly these people have shown they want to destroy our way of life, are verbally spitting on us like garbage and want us to die off. Yet people are still too scared about saying something that will offend the very people that are basically spitting on them. They rather still virtue signal in a desperate attempt to seek approval from people that want to destroy them.

    The news media for example has become more embolden in their quest against us which means we are not doing enough in protest to get them to back off. How are the Hollywood elites so emboldened and not scared of verbal retribution?

    Another example are the Silicon Valley CEO's that are treated god like and basically worshiped in the news media in promotion of these destructive policies. The authors of these articles and publications themselves should be verbally tar and feathered each time they promote replacement.

    It is not all that hard. We should not surrender yet. All that is needed is for small percentage of Americans to grow a backbone to turn things around.

The last major overhaul of the immigration system to increase legal admissions caps, in 1990, focused largely on employment-based visas.


    And what always goes unsaid, is that the national origin quota system was implemented in 1921 and was the FIRST EVER instance of using inclusion criteria instead of exclusion criteria.
    Prior to that the laws were all about targeting people that need to stay out - criminals, prostitutes, and Chinese (yes these were seen as belonging in the same category and immigration restrictionists own that, whether you want to or not).
    Before 1921 anyone who wanted to come (who wasn't an undesirable) was allowed to come, and ever since 1921, the situation is reversed: you have to qualify to come.

    If you accept that a novel idea of immigration restriction that didn't exist prior to 1921 is valid, then you must logically accept that novel firearms restrictions that didn't exist prior to 1934 are equally valid, that novel health insurance restrictions that didn't exist prior to 2010 are valid, that novel wetlands protections that didn't exist prior to 1977 are valid, et cetera, et cetera.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    Due to conditioning. Change the narrative, you change the conditioning and you change the future.

    Look what has been normalized in the last few years with Trump that would have been unthinkable to discuss openly in the past. Take a few hundred people posting like you do with the hopeless part of it replaced with winning across forums and social media it will become infectious like a virus.

    Just look at RPF for example. A few years back these discussions would have been moved to H/T, posters banned or warned. Even Brian4Liberty is starting threads about immigration policy. A taboo in years past here.

    And even those exclusions (or attempts at implementing them) were new innovations in the very late 1800's that nobody before that thought were within the scope of the federal government's constitutional powers.

    https://www.constitution.org/cmt/law_of_nations.htm

    The meaning of "Offenses against the Law of Nations"

    Art. I Sec. 8 Cl. 10 of the Constitution for the United States delegates the power to Congress to "define and punish ... Offenses against the Law of Nations". It is important to understand what is and is not included in the term of art "law of nations", and not confuse it with "international law". They are not the same thing. The phrase "law of nations" is a direct translation of the Latin jus gentium, which means the underlying principles of right and justice among nations, and during the founding era was not considered the same as the "laws", that is, the body of treaties and conventions between nations, the jus inter gentes, which, combined with jus gentium, comprise the field of "international law". The distinction goes back to ancient Roman Law.

    Briefly, the Law of Nations at the point of ratification in 1788 included the following general elements, taken from Blackstone's Commentaries, and prosecution of those who might violate them:

    (1) No attacks on foreign nations, their citizens, or shipping, without either a declaration of war or letters of marque and reprisal.

    (2) Honoring of the flag of truce, peace treaties, and boundary treaties. No entry across national borders without permission of national authorities.

    (3) Protection of wrecked ships, their passengers and crew, and their cargo, from depredation by those who might find them.

    (4) Prosecution of piracy by whomever might be able to capture the pirates, even if those making the capture or their nations had not been victims.

    (5) Care and decent treatment of prisoners of war.
