Illegal Immigration

[Lek]

I see that many of you are confusing border control with wanting to stop immigration.

 Often the two go hand in hand 

It's a way that those who are against controlling immigration use to cloud the issue. 

And it's very rarely  wrong 

 stated in my OP that I am in favor of our liberal immigration quotas and think that it is a positive for America

That's good 

Another they use is to label anyone who is in favor of border control is a racist.

  And it's very rarely  wrong 

They're tactics to shift the attention away from the real issues. 

Or what they are doing 

If some stranger came to the door of your house, said they were a refugee from another country and wanted to move in with you would you just open up the door and let him in? 

A country is not a house 

You might even be willing to take him in, but not without first knowing who he is and what his real situation is first.

A country is not a house and it's none of my business 

If you want to know what uncontrolled immigration can do to a civilization just as the Native Americansand they'll tell you.

Comparing imperialist colonization to what's going on at the US Mexican border is absurd

---

I live in the "sanctuary state" of California which refuses to aid ICE in apprehending people who are here illegally and actually seems to encourage people to come here illegally.

And ?

I'm totally in favor of allowing immigration into the US and see our liberal immigration quotas as a positive.

That's nice 

  What I don't understand is how we can exist as a nation if we don't have control over who enters the country. 

The assumption here is a nation is defined by border control 

I have a question for those who agree with the state of California and are against prosecuting those who have entered the country illegally or preventing undocumented people from crossing into the country as they wish.  What is your rationale and why is this good for us?

Better they are here then were they came from and it's not about us .

Ok. Let me get this straight. If you believe in controlling entry through the borders that means that you are against immigration and you're a racist to boot. A house is different than a country, so there is no need to verify whether or not a person is a terrorist, drug smuggler, human trafficker, felon, etc. before allowing them into the country. It's really not our business anyway. Plus they cause no danger to us because they are not imperialist colonizers. And finally, it's all about them and not about us. Phooey!
