That it is a bad thing is so obvious to him that he just takes it for granted. This dogma needs no defense. He wants to know how you would stop them from coming here in pursuit of such incentives as you list, and doesn't understand how you could possibly be fine with it.
    Ah, I see.

    @Stratovarious , let me start off by saying that there are countless data, and articles with each persons own perspectives, some more right/wrong than others, that readers with certain mind sets gravitate to. I stay informed by reading tid-bits of news here and there, but I don't immerse myself in reading every single thing, because there is no need to. I avoid analysis paralysis at all cost. I do, however, read bills and legislation, which is much more useful and accurate than msm slant/motive.

    I have learned that anything can be interpreted to reflect ones view. Take for instance, JBS Episode 39. While I agree with much of it, the first point was "immigration", and how it contributed to leading us to where we are. Sure, I get that. But human beings are not born to live under a rock. I enjoy traveling here and abroad. I want the freedom to travel, or reside if I am fortunate enough, anywhere that I choose without restriction. I do not see travel or "immigration" as the fundamental problem. When I travel, I do so as freely as I can, while still abiding by the NAP. I have formed many friendships throughout, and contribute to their local economies.

    I have learned that when people are empowered, no matter where they originate from, they more than typically do want to stand on their own. It is crutches, government involvement and lack of education that almost always gets in the way.

    Lack of proper education is the reason we are at this impasse, as well as being taught to take advantage of others. Human beings only know what they are taught and what they experience. Few people have the motivation to really critically think outside the box on their own. TPTB know this, which is why there is no desire or effort to change the education system.

    In my view, building walls, more police state, legislation to limit/prevent people from traveling freely, does not address the problem. They are control mechanisms designed to empower the state. Cases can be made that stopping immigration, even for a short time, would slow the radical change we are experiencing. But would it? Would Americans have a sudden change of heart? Would they think to themselves, "Gee, we have a Wall, let's stop having babies by different fathers and move out of Section 8!!!"? With the educational system this government forces down our throats, anybody with a rational mind would see that the answer is no.

    Also consider that trump (R) won the WH, when the congress and senate were run by R's. Yet FedDeptEd/Common Core stayed completely intact. Were immigrants responsible for that?

    TPTB do not relinquish power, they seek more of it. If/when the wall is built, and it becomes proven that it is ineffective in eliminating socialism, what next? More government solutions at tax payer cost? TSA Domestic Blueprint which is now underway? DNA biometrics to distinguish them from us? How much more do you want to fund the MIC, foreign AND domestic, before you are personally adversely affected? Is sacrificing your own freedom/liberty worth it to restrict another human beings freedom/liberty? Or perhaps instead, such as in my case, talk to people, form groups, teach and demonstrate what freedom/liberty mean, so that we can achieve RP, WB, the site and OUR own mission.


    "Natural Incentives". Wow, what a term. Deranged people have a natural incentive to shoot up a store over a pack of smokes. I prefer to advocate Natural Rights and the NAP, which apply to ALL people, not just "Americans".

It was just the people at the top who were in trouble. Also the sack of Rome could have easily been avoided if not for the arrogance and stupidity of its leaders. Their biggest mistake? Turning against the very barbarians they had previously hired as mercenaries.



    Yep. They created their own demise for the purpose of imperial war and then lit the fuse of their own demise by trying to take out what they now viewed as a threat. Sound familiar? But again, the "barbarian hordes" were actually quite civilized, already Christianized, and only destroyed the homes of the elite and left the common Romans pretty much alone. And the seat of Roman power wasn't even at Rome at that point.

    So this Wall business...


    * Enter "Legally", which means they are eligible for government programs, and if they work, pay FED government taxes.

    * "Punish business owners" who hire "illegal" immigrants, which violates Private Contract Rights.

    * Utilize "Eminent Domain" along an entire state affecting 3 million people, which violates Private/Business Property Rights.

    * Grows government, hires more government, at tremendous dollar/liberty cost, violation of RP/site mission.

    * USMCA "in the works" which "balances out" labor, by way of International Labour Organization (UN) and Government Tribunals.


    I can see why this Big Beautiful Wall is being promoted on RonPaulForums. ****NOT****

    Our forefathers view on restricting immigration

    Of course you are talking about anarchists as opposed to those who support and defend our constitutionally limited system of government.



    Aside from that, is it not in the best interests of the United States and her citizens to regulate immigration and reject various classes of foreigners who are a threat to the general welfare of the United States?


    One of our forefathers touched upon this subject during our nation's RULE OF NATURALIZATION, FEB. 3RD, 1790


    Mr. BURKE thought it of importance to fill the country with useful men, such as farmers, mechanics, and manufacturers, and, therefore, would hold out every encouragement to them to emigrate to America. This class he would receive on liberal terms; and he was satisfied there would be room enough for them, and for their posterity, for five hundred years to come. There was another class of men, whom he did not think useful, and he did not care what impediments were thrown in their way; such as your European merchants, and factors of merchants, who come with a view of remaining so long as will enable them to acquire a fortune, and then they will leave the country, and carry off all their property with them. These people injure us more than they do us good, and, except in this last sentiment, I can compare them to nothing but leeches. They stick to us until they get their fill of our best blood, and then they fall off and leave us. I look upon the privilege of an American citizen to be an honorable one, and it ought not to be thrown away upon such people. There is another class also that I would interdict, that is, the convicts and criminals which they pour out of British jails. I wish sincerely some mode could be adopted to prevent the importation of such; but that, perhaps, is not in our power; the introduction of them ought to be considered as a high misdemeanor.

    So, as it turns out, allowing the kind of foreigners who are now invading our borders to stay here should be considered as a "high misdemeanor" which happens to be an impeachable offense!


    JWK


    Make no mistake. There is a very real war taking place on American soil and it is being won by socialists, communists and anarchists, who have successfully obstructed the American People from securing the border of their country.

    Exactly.

    The whole purpose of the fed "educational" system was to make compliant factory workers. People are taught incorrect history, and led down the "correct" political path dictated by the rulers.

    Immigrants have always been used by a chosen few, who lavished hate and lies upon them for political reasons- this includes Europeans as well as dem bad brown people from south of the border. The term "illegal immigrant" is fairly new and became incorporated so that more 'Murikans could run around with their hands in the air screeching about "illegals".

    The answer has always been no entitlements, a reasonable way to enter & leave the country, a reasonable way to obtain citizenship, and the ability of people to freely hire whomever they want.

    The Wall was never about "protecting" Americans- it's about enslaving Americans even more, just like The Patriot Act, which was hidden in the shadows waiting for the right event to come along. Ironically, we now have the big PA promoter sitting on SCOTUS.
    There is no spoon.

    Really, their arguments make no logical sense. They just want you to fear "other peoples" instead of focusing the blame on their government.

    If they really believed any of their justifications and moralizations, they'd welcome these people when those justifications and moralizations were removed. But they still won't. They're collectivists to the core and the State is their god.

    Sounds like the stuff you hear coming out of Progressive think tanks which can easily be debunked.

    You want to know why, here is why which is completely logical.

    - they do not want to be displaced becoming a stranger in their own community and unable to speak the language of the community.

    - they do not want to be discriminated against in their own community since they are now outnumbered.

    - they do not want to see the US end up with ethnic factions fighting one another in their communities or worse ethic or racial civil wars like the Balkans since immigration was not regulated.

    - they do not want rapists, murders and various other criminals escaping from their homelands into our communities since immigration was not regulated.

    - they do not want terrorists or some foreign power flooding the country with people that want to kill us since immigration was not regulated.

    - they do not want to increase government spending to care for immigrants.

    - they do not want people that have no concept of liberty fundamentally changing this country politically by eventually voting for an anti-liberty political system.

    It is not all that hard to figure out.

    - they do not want to be displaced becoming a stranger in their own community and unable to speak the language of the community.
    Pretext. We've had "little Italy" and "little Chinatown" and "little fill in the blank." By the 2nd or third generation English is the first language of all descendants of immigrants.

    - they do not want to be discriminated against in their own community since they are now outnumbered.
    Welcome to my world. It's been that way for 400 years.\

    - they do not want to see the US end up with ethnic factions fighting one another in their communities or worse ethic or racial civil wars like the Balkans since immigration was not regulated.
    Pretext. I got white lesbians moving into my neighborhood and I don't care. They're actually friendly and gave me some Rice Krispy treats for Halloween.

    - they do not want rapists, murders and various other criminals escaping from their homelands into our communities since immigration was not regulated.
    Pretext. Violent crime has continued to go down all the while people are freaking out more and more about immigration.





    - they do not want terrorists or some foreign power flooding the country with people that want to kill us since immigration was not regulated.
    Pretext. All of the foreign terrorists have been let in through legal means. No cases of Habib coming in through Mexico and hijacking a plane. The evidence points to Habib being brought in by the CIA.



    - they do not want to increase government spending to care for immigrants.
    And yet they oppose H1B visas which only go to gainfully employed immigrants who have to leave the country if they lose their job. Another pretext.

    - they do not want people that have no concept of liberty fundamentally changing this country politically by eventually voting for an anti-liberty political system.
    And so they support face scanning cameras and unbridled presidential power, fundamentally changing the country as far as liberty is concerned, to "save" us from anti liberty voters. Ummmm....okay.

    It is not all that hard to figure out.
    If you say so.

    And what exactly is an "open border policy?" Being against Trump's unconstitutional power grab? Not supporting the idea that just because Trump has fallen flat on a phony political promise that he never intended to keep anyway that this somehow translates into an emergency? Do you even understand Trump's "wall fence" proposal? It's not eve going to go across the entire border! And much of it will be "vehicle barriers" that anybody can walk across. The "migrant horde" that everyone was freaking out about walked right up to the existing wall! What's causing mass migration from Central America is the United States destabilizing Central American countries. And guess what Trump is doing right now in Venezuela? He is destabilizing it for the oil! Good grief!

Do you even understand Trump's "wall fence" proposal? It's not eve going to go across the entire border! And much of it will be "vehicle barriers" that anybody can walk across. The "migrant horde" that everyone was freaking out about walked right up to the existing wall! What's causing mass migration from Central America is the United States destabilizing Central American countries. And guess what Trump is doing right now in Venezuela? He is destabilizing it for the oil! Good grief!

    Good grief, people- the problem is NOT immigrants- the problem is our own government. If you can be kept afraid of a non-problem like immigrants, then you won't notice the real problems, like setting up the world for full on war- maybe even nuclear.

    WAKE UP.

    Open border idiots, are afraid Diseased Felons, rapists, and terrorists might be encumbered
    at the border.
    Those are the most powerful tools of Globalist Socialists, scare idiots into
    fearing that these criminals won't be allowed to turn America into the cesspool they
    built and plan to leave behind.

    WALL IDIOTS are afraid of anything .gov tells them to be afraid of.

    And, yes, the most powerful tool of gov is fear- and Wall Idiots want America to remain the cesspool that was built especially for them to be locked into for the rest of their lives.

    Can't felonies, rapes, and terrorism, all be banned, treated as crimes in their own rights, and punished with appropriate losses of freedoms, without having to embed them into laws about immigration, which are used against innocent people who are guilty of none of those things?

    You'd think.

    Same as "driving under the influence" laws, "hate" laws, etc. Things should be a crime after the fact- otherwise we are all living in the Minority Report.

    For that matter, why not say that the government should just deport people who were born here too, since that will prevent some of them from committing crimes in America in the future.

    And really, why stop at deporting them, since that just means they'll still commit crimes elsewhere. Why not just kill them before they get a chance to hurt someone?

    Unfortunately it is coming to that. In fact, some here have even told me to gtfo of this country and go live in another just for promoting the site mission.

    Hey! The wall idiots are fighting for their "right" to label peaceful, innocent people whom they've never even met, let alone possess any actual evidence against as "Diseased Felons, rapists and terrorists," and then to wall themselves up in their own little safe space to protect themselves from those scary others. It doesn't get much more "free" than that.

    Yeah, that line is the old stand by.

    Statists of all varieties do it.

    It's the same basic fallacy as those who tell you that if you don't think roads should be tax funded, then in order not to be a hypocrite you're obligated to go live in the woods somewhere apart from civilization.

    Didn't you read Strato's previous posts. If they're here "illegally" they definitely ARE guilty of those things. No exceptions.

    That's why I seldom spend a lot of time on them. Well, that and the fact that I just don't have all that much time to begin with.

    Right. But also, if they were here legally, they would still be guilty of them, which is why we need to keep the laws in place that make it illegal for them to be here.
