It always amazes me how progressives want open borders, discounting all the violence, murder, gang warfare, and drugs brought in by many illegals, and also in the same breath, how conservatives "vow" they're going to make corporations pay for using legal "illegal" slave labor, yet have no intention of going against their corporate masters.

It's kind of amazing that people still think that by us opening our borders we're going to make peace with all the billions of people who hate us, at home and abroad.

It's also amazing that neither party talks much about how arabs have been caught coming through the holes in the southern border, disguised as South and Central Americans. I can guarantee you, they're not coming through in search of a "better life" just like I can guarantee that both political parties in the US have the same masters. Do you want to talk about the refugees who claim to be teenagers and have greying hair and wrinkled faces?

Wake up. I don't care how much you think the world is going to get along by us laying down and taking it in the ass, it's not. Trump's methods aren't much better, but again, there has to be a middle ground.

As far as the people responsible for the drugs on the street - you can't touch them. The problem is not the supply, it's the demand.

And if you missed it the first time, people do not value life. These kids shooting up schools because daddy didn't love them is bullshit. These kids shooting bullies instead of just beating their asses is bullshit.

Only cowards commit random acts of extreme violence. I was scared to death of the class bully in second grade. I would piss myself. He used to steal my lunch, take my milk money, and make fun of me for being white. One day I snapped, and beat his ass. He never bothered me again.

Did I resort to extreme violence? No. A little ass beating is usually good for most people, unless they're chronically abused.

And as far as being taught not to value life, that definitely is a trickle down effect, and for a reason. The upper class doesn't give a damn about the working class. Never has, never will. Here in the US, greed is king, and that isn't a problem that's easily fixed, because the people most often falling victim to the upper class's greed, are the most vocal supporters of it.

Something tells me if the shoe was on the other foot, if for example we were talking about mass migration from white Christian countries into say majority muslim countries for whatever reason (natural disaster, war, famine, etc) we would be having a very different conversation.

You would be fooling yourself if you don't think Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. would be radically changed by the shifting demographics and culture.

I live on the US/Canada border and talk to Canadians ALL THE TIME, many stay here, and they always refer to people in the States and Americans, and themselves as Canadians.

To quote a skit from "The Kids in the Hall", Scott Thompson as The Queen of England, '...Canada, if you didn't have us, you'd just be Americans.'

Those countries would never allow something like this, in much of the Islamic world even the minorities with roots well before the coming of Islam are viciously oppressed, forcibly Islamized or expelled. One of the great trends of our times, but barely remarked upon in Western media because it's not politically correct to notice, is that the Islamic world is getting ever more homogenous because of the ethnic cleansing of communities like Aramaeans, Mandaeans etc.
They do have a lot of foreigners in Saudi-Arabia of course, but they have no rights, and the guest workers from the Philippines etc. are basically treated like slaves.
