What do you think is going on in the US? There are some asshat people on here, I understand that, I see them too. But for the most part they are just angry. But you have to understand we have enough problems of our own without taking on another countries. We are about to have 3,200 million more families without an income when our government doesn't extend unemployment. Our welfare system cant take care of the citizens here. Yet we are bashed for not taking care of all the refuges from other countries. I live on the border, I see everyday the hardships these people face. But I can't help them all, none of us can. They have to help themselves. If that makes me an ugly selfish american so be it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1027582 ![]() 07/06/2010 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Americans are hyper sensitized to the label “racist”, no doubt due to public consciousness of those regrettable episodes when racism was openly declared as policy objective, governmental and otherwise. Consequently, Americans have been long conditioned to reflexively shy back from opposing policy that is front loaded with claim of being anti-racist. Conversely, opposing arguments are stigmatized as inherently racist, rendering them much less likely to receive as full an examination as might be warranted. “Anti-immigrant” is another epithet from which Americans shy, conditioned as we are by the phrase “We are all immigrants”. Most Americans willingly acknowledge the fact that immigration restrictions of the past often were framed out of racist sentiment, and that many of us would not be here were we not of European extraction. Proponents for amnesty are exploiting that sensitivity hoping that the American public is conditioned to submit without full discussion of the broader ramifications of amnesty. That is why they frame opposition as anti-immigrant rather than as pro-legal immigration. Many citizens seem to have internalized the allegations that nation’s past contained racist sentiments, as full born or isolated as they may have been, and bearing it as a personal guilt which they then project back upon the nation as a whole. Expiation of that guilt then becomes framing national policy as declaration of mea culpa, with legislation slanted primarily to purpose of restitution to any party wishing to identify itself among the harmed? Palliative this course might feel to some, but -- of course -- the past would remain immutable. Outcome though would be disastrous in terms of our government fulfilling its Constitutional obligation to act on behalf of current and future needs as willed by the citizenry through democratic process. Promoters of amnesty have self arrogated themselves to Inquisitor (as in Spanish Inquisition of the 16th Century), presuming to position themselves to decide for the nation what action will serve to expiate perceived racist past. Implicitly, the judgment is that our nation is no longer entitled to sovereignty. Hence, legislated immigration policies must default to however many foreign nationals choose to come here in disregard of hitherto legal policy. That is, citizens should relinquish sovereign privilege of directing national destiny, subordinating instead to unrestricted migration of populations from regions beyond its no longer enforced borders. Self-flagellation, anyone? Amnesty, fronted as anti-racist, has immunized it from consideration in broader context -- budget crunch, national debt, over extended infrastructure, undercut middle-class wages, weakened organized labor movement, overpopulation, environmental collapse, global warming, high unemployment, job loss, mortgage defaults, health care disaster, education inadequacies, etc., etc. This forces the question: have polemics of the political left crystallized into a cant of political correctness, preconditioning it from critically analyzing propositions front-loaded as anti racist? "Left", at time of its origination as reference to a factional stance in politics, was coincident with the frame "free thinker". Today though, judging from its adopted memes, litany of catch phrases and talking points, the Left appears to have become as uniform in mind set as a monastic order. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 642285 ![]() 07/06/2010 10:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We have non-lethal weapons and automated laser targeting of same. Maybe we should use them. Fuck what's "legal". Just make coming across the Southern Arizona Boarder a most unpleasant experience. One the auto-targeted laser got you, and a rubber weapon or a low energy laser got you, or a low voltage taser has you shitting your pants for ten minutes unable to move, you would be picked up, and transported to a hospital on the MEXICAN side of the boarder. During transport your DNA and prints would be recorded. A second offense would land you in a work camp for six months and then you'd be deported again. Third offense would be a year in a work camp and another deportation. I"m guessing that if these immigrants spent more time in work camps than they did on the streets, they'd eventually get sick of it and would give up trying for an illegal entry. An automated system would play no favorites. It would be 100% accurate and would miss very few. I suspect that the taser and shitting yourself would be the most effective deterrent but don't know for certain. |
