Immigration

[Violet]

I don't usually stray into the political waters but I thought I'd vomit up some thoughts.

Whenever I step into them, people stop thinking I'm silly and start thinking I'm a broken excuse for a human being. I disagree with these purists: I AM A SILLY BROKEN HUMAN BEING!

What are you opinions on the US immigration process. I think it's broken. My real question though is twofold

It sucks. More people is more power if you can adequately put these people to use.

1) Why would you want to move into a Country because it espouses "freedom" and "equality" and in the process of petitioning directly attack the sense of patriotism of said country? Doesn't that seem counterproductive? I mean as humans, why do we have the need to spead out into a new cultral territory and make that territory more like where we came from? I appreciate diversity and cultral recognition, but why do we need terms like xxxxxxx-american? If you were born in America, or are a nationalized citizen, wouldn't you just be american? I understand that a persons culture and heritage are important to the crux of who they are, but if you're going to change the culture of the territory you move to, why move? Is opportunity worth sacrificing a little personal pride and public heritage (not private)? Is there a cost/ sacrifice for moving to the US? Should there be?

You hopefully wouldn't move to a country because it tells you it is free AND equal. The former is a capitalistic and nigh anarchistic suggestion, and the other a weak socialistic simplicity.

If the opportunity you speak of is a high reward at a somewhat low risk... then hell yes it's worth moving to from a place with little reward and likely high risk.

2) What's the big deal about border enforcement? If someone breaks into your house with the intent to make it their own, and you had a gun, wouldn't you shoot them? In my opinion do it all the way or not at all, stop half assing everything. Opinions?

Agree. If you want to hold a border: don't kid around about it.

The moment you become lazy about your border: someone's going to take it from you or use that break in your fence to smuggle into it and wreak what havoc they can manage. However, this is harder to do the larger you grow, as your forces are less concentrated.
