What should be done about illegal immigration?

@Finn dAbuzz,

I warned you, Finn. As predicted, O'Bill shows up to accuse the very law of being racist. Unbelievable. Libs are so predictably illogical.

This bears little resemblance to the Wing-nut parroting of whatever Rush or Beck are hollering about at the moment you do. You are the Right-wing JTT… who Finn hilariously dubbed Remora last year.

At least Rush or Beck have an ounce of common sense, Bill. Not always right, but their batting average is way better than yours, given what you've posted lately.

Cute photo. At least you apparently have a sense of humor, Bill.

Peace!

We all know it's illegal, that there are laws against it. What would YOU do to enforce the laws regarding illegal immigration - other than what is already being done?

I do the same thing to enforce the laws regarding illegal immigration that I would have done to enforce

- Laws prohibiting people of different races from loving each other.
- Laws prohibiting same sex relationships.
- My parents intentionally broke segregation laws. I respect them for this.
- Pretty much everyone broke prohibition (the law outlawing alcohol), so we got rid of the law.

I have a friend who smokes marijuana. I don't approve, but it is none of my business.

This idea that laws are more important then morality doesn't fly. There is a big difference between rape and crossing a border.

I am wondering why you guys aren't making these comments on the "I just smoked Marijuana" thread.

@ebrown p,

I see we are having this discussion AGAIN!!!!!

I have said many times that those here illegally, from ANY country, should be deported.
If they choose to violate our laws then they do not deserve to get rewarded by being allowed to stay.
If they want to stay, then they MUST become citizens and give up their original citizenship.
If they choose not to do that, then they get no help from social services of any kind.
They would be allowed emergency medical care, but thats all.
They would get no help from any govt run food bank or shelter, and they would only get the basic emergency services from police, fire, and medical services.

This is not an issue about any one country or group of people, it is about anyone that chooses to violate our immigration laws.

@mysteryman,

Careful, common sense is not allowed here on these discussions, mysteryman. And also you could be accused of being an idealogue. Thats right, by none other than George.

Sorry to be sarcastic of the opposing side, but seriously, your opinion is so logical and common sense, mysteryman, and I believe the vast majority of Americans agree with you almost to a tee. If we could ever get a media that would be reasonable and report things logically and accurately, we could sweep the liberals out of power so fast it would make our heads swim. Of course, we will have to wait until the next election to get started, but our chances are looking better.

Of course conservative media agrees with you completely, folks like Rush, Hannity, Beck, the list goes on. None of those people are a threat to freedom loving liberty loving Americans that believe in capitalism, individual rights and responsibilities, and a few simple things like enforcing the laws that we have.

Does it bother you that this same pretense was used to defend anti-miscegenation laws?

In a sentence or two, what's your take on Alcohol Prohibition?

Againj, very briefly, what's your take on Drug Prohibition?

If you must make your argument about the law, at least make sure it's legally correct. Under US immigration law, persons who become US citizens can retain their old country's citizenship. Granted, there are ifs and buts, but nothing like the categorical prohibition you so confidently assert. For details, go to the library and read US Citizenship for Dummies -- as this legal immigrant has.

But of course, this whole argument doesn't have to be about the law. It's perfectly legitimate to suggest, as Occom Bill did, that America do about illegal border-crossing what it did about illegal sitting-in-the-wrong-part-of-a-segregated bus, illegal voting by women, and illegal harboring of fugitive slaves -- legalize it!

I think there's been a misunderstanding here, Okie. I promise you; you will not get in any trouble if you lift your erroneously self-imposed moratorium on the use of common sense.

We only have to comply with applicable law, not ancient historical laws, nor laws in other jurisdictions - how can you not know that? It's pretty basic. And anyway why would anybody ever bother with your worthless legal opinions when you can't even distinguish between "flaunt" and "flout"??

I'm sorry, I didnt realize that alcohol was prohibited by law in this country.
Last time I checked, alcohol was a legal substance in the US, and available to anyone over 21 that wanted to buy it.
Has that law changed?

I dont agree with some of the drug laws, but as long as they are the law I will abide by them.

Can you say the same thing about immigration law?

@Thomas,

MY argument was about what the law should be regarding immigrants and citizenship.

What are you babbling about? No one suggested otherwise.

I haven't (and don't) offer "legal opinions" and saw no purpose in “distinguishing between flaunt" and "flout"”, as I understood Finn’s usage of the word just fine. By the same token; I'll not be judging your abilities (or lack thereof) by your apparent inability to use the quote feature. Some complaints are just too petty. Wink

You are mistaken about the lack of restrictions, even today, but are you really unaware of the folly of Alcohol Prohibition?

I can. But yours or my compliance isn't terribly germane to the greater issue at hand. What do you disagree with?

@mysteryman,

We continue to have this discussion because idiots like O'Moron, Brownie, George, et al., feel that we can pick and choose what laws to enforce. Since they love illegals, they oppose immigration-law enforcement.

YOU did - in a quote from one of your previous posts here. Btw, given the signal-to-noise ratio in all that you post, you can't expect anyone to link to your posts individually, do you?!

Quote:

You know, like people having the gall to perform [b]marriages between whites and non-whites, despite it being "ILLEGAL!"[/b] They naturally argued there was nothing inherently racist in the law, because it was applied evenly to whites and non-whites alike.

YOU're the one babbling about ancient laws - get over it,

YOU wrote this nonsense - Finn didn't. It's YOUR post that's being quoted, not his: maybe you're incapable of following the link? You probably like flaunting your meager knowledge of laws no longer in force - in addition to flouting the currently applicable ones. Even more probable is the case you genuinely can't tell the difference between the two Smile

It's not often that I find myself in complete agreement with Advocate who keeps calling you O'Moron, but this is one of those rare occasions.
