Curious what everyone here thinks about the child immigration crisis in the US right now?

Call me heartless but I don't think anyone else should be allowed in the country, they should be turned right back around. Get the borders locked up tight. We barely have enough resources anymore to take care of people already here without adding more to it. And I don't want to pay anymore taxes to support people who refuse to work.

And when you say everyone, you mean everyone or just those of a color and race? And you mean tight, you mean no visitors performers, and business owners either? And when you say people who don't pay taxes, do you mean illegal immigrants or Americans all over the world? When you say the borders should be locked up tight, does that also mean you can NOT leave the country too? Just wondering.

Do you really hate the rest of the world that much?

Way to distort what I said. Why are you bringing race and everything else into it when it wasn't even mentioned? No further immigration for living purposes in the USA. Better?

Do you really hate the rest of the world that much?

No, I love my country that much.

Perfect. Don't answer any of my questions and save yourself and your righteous ways. Because all those other things are A MAJOR PART of the whole problem. I distorted nothing

the WHOLE Immigration crisis sucks.

Here's the deal. People can sneak in and stay. But my friends from Ireland and the Netherlands who want to come here, work, and do so legally get turned down. Really fucked up. Send 'em back.

Thats just it, there is NO legal way to live in the US already, unless your a smart millionaire or a religious freak.

A student visa is how most of my European friends gained entrance into the US. Some of them have remained through "legal" means, some have not.

I think it's kind of hypocritical that for decades adults and families have been trying to make it over but now that it's ONLY children it's a humanitarian issue. It's really shitty that they say "they aren't terrorists or drug dealers" like the majority of people crossing for a better life MUST be criminals.

All things being equal I don't really mind having fast paths to citizenship. If the idea that immigrants drained the system was really true then how did this country become established by them?

[dcwttaoo1]

Thats just it, "they lie" and remember the fact checkers problem? they just don't care. The will say what ever to win, point, and they can't be punished for it. That needs to change.
