Illegal Immigration

[Mister Agenda]

They're hardly bring ignored. Control of our international borders is a Federal issue. It is not the State of California's duty or power to do so.

Exactly! It's not the State of California's job to control our international borders, it's the federal government's.

In the 'for what it's worth' department; illegal immigrants are leaving the USA faster than they are entering it. Ten years ago we had about a million more undocumented residents living in the USA than we do now. Why is it considered a 'crisis' now besides political theater?

I see that many of you are confusing border control with wanting to stop immigration.  It's a way that those who are against controlling immigration use to cloud the issue.  I stated in my OP that I am in favor of our liberal immigration quotas and think that it is a positive for America.  Another they use is to label anyone who is in favor of border control is a racist.   They're tactics to shift the attention away from the real issues.  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?  You might even be willing to take him in, but not without first knowing who he is and what his real situation is first.  If you want to know what uncontrolled immigration can do to a civilization just as the Native Americansand they'll tell you.

If border control is the real issue, surveillance drones can do a better job than a wall or fence at a fraction of the cost. More immigration judges can address asylum seekers in a state of limbo.

Can you think of an example where the lower tech and lower population density immigrants conquered the fully developed industrialized superpower? Your analogy seems to be the opposite of the actual situation. After it became a nation, America had uncontrolled immigration for much of its early history and prospered.

Fear that a minority will do to you what your ancestors did to what is now a minority is kind of hard to separate from actual racism, because that is exactly one of the arguments used to justify racism.

And all I've ever needed to know to let someone in my home is that they needed a place to stay. But I'm not a 21st century 'Christian', so that may explain my willingness to take a chance on a stranger.

Considering the alternative which would be an even greater abuse .This just comes off as weak sauce .

Considering you are Canadian, feel free to bring them north or STFU.
