Comment on Border Crisis: Shocking Data Reveals Illegal Immigrants Outnumber American Births
PizzaMane@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Hard to call it a conspiracy theory when the statistics are this clear, and the democrats are so clearly pro-illegal immigration.
Plus it’s completely about cheap labor and profit. You know, like slavery. Funny how the democrats are still all about that cheap labor, over a century later. Hell, illegals can’t buy guns legally, just like slaves couldn’t buy guns legally. And how in Jim Crow, ex-slaves couldn’t buy guns.
And yes, the Southern Strategy was the greatest PR campaign ever.

Not really. The democrats want to unfuck the regulation preventing legal immigration. Until that happens (can’t happen till the GOP stops blocking attempts to reform), the only pathway for a lot of people will be illegal immigration.

So then you’re aware that the republican party more closely represents a desire for cheap labor/slave labor than the democratic party. You have no real point.

We take in a fifth of the world’s immigrants, last time I checked. At some point, you have to say “This is too many, please take a number and wait your turn”. Have you seen Canada’s issues? They can’t build homes quick enough, let alone upgrade infrastructure. There is a rate of immigrants that can be handled, and we’re well beyond that.
Illegal immigration just creates more problems, and is entirely selfish. Hell, just sending a few thousand to NYC caused massive problems that it was considered an attack. That’s less than what we get in one day.

No it doesn’t. There was no change in policies at all. The democrats are still for the same things they were in the civil war.

Isn’t that something th liberals complain about here? Not enough housing and it’s to expensive. Yet their solution is bring in more people to strain the system.

Sure, there is technically a limit. But I effect not really. We are a nation of immigrants. Immigration and diversity has always been one of the core strengths of this country. It’s shortsighted to fuck over one of our core strengths.
That, and immigrants are generally a net positive for the economy, and are just trying to escape a shitty life elsewhere. So it’s ultimately a good thing.

They absolutely can. They just choose not to. They have too many NIMBYs and lack the motivation to deal with rent seekings slumlords/corpos.

People are trying to escape their destroyed homes for a better life for themselves, their family, and their children. And they are willing to work for it (providing value to our country in turn, through labor and taxes).
I’m quite ok with that.
Hell, just sending a few thousand to NYC caused massive problems that it was considered an attack. That’s less than what we get in one day.
Let’s say:
I have 10 bags
Each bag can hold 1,000 marbels before it begins to rip
Each bag currently has 500 marbels
I need to figure out to do with an additional 5,000 marbels that I’ve been given
There are two proposed solutions, and an ongoing fuckery.
Proposal 1: Evenly distribute the marbels so each bag gets 500 new marbels. No individual bag is strained or ripping.
Proposal 2: Throw the new marbels in the trash.
Ongoing fuckery: Another person is trying to send all 5,000 marbels to a single city.
Democrats are in favor of proposal one. Republicans are in favor of proposal two, while doing the ongoing fuckery.
We absolutely have the room. New immigrants make up a fraction of a percent of the U.S. pop. If they were granted legal status and spread out roughly uniformly, it wouldn’t be a problem.
The democrats are still for the same things they were in the civil war.
lol
You know, like slavery
The democrats just can’t let their past go.
Not at all. The democrats have always been racist and most likely always will be racist. I still have no clue what your point is. You keep calling that the confederate flag and it’s not. Maybe instead of low effort trolling, you should learn some history. You’d learn that’s the battle flag of lees army and guess what, they were democrats.
Nice symbol. Remind me, which party is trying to keep minorities from arming themselves?

This is a good example of misinformation that only works by abusing our the poor critical thinking skills that are quintessentially American.
In the first like…3-4 minutes, this dude is like, “Look! Illegal encounters have soared to new heights! Oh my god, the world is clearly coming from America!” Needless to say, a bunch of people are trying to get into the country.
Then, right after he starts recounting instances of…not exactly crimes…but of people who have been arrested and something bad that happened. He follows it up with “I can tell you hundreds of stories like this”…sure he can…
But let’s assume he can. Go back to that chart about illegal encounters in Joe Biden’s first term: 12,099,904 illegal encounters!
This is a real life problem basically.
If we have 12 million encounters with migrants, and (let’s say) 600 of them will go on to commit crimes, then what are the chances that any given illegal immigrant will commit a crime?
600 over 12 million…do some quick mafs…=0.00005. In other words, assuming we let all 12 million immigrants in, there is a 1/20,000 chance they’ll go on to commit crime. So scary! I bet the crime rate of native born Americans eclipses that by an order of magnitude at least.
And if you think he fairly characterizes AOC’s position, you’d also be wrong. In the clip he played, she’s talking about the current undocumented population within the U.S., not so much letting more in. But then he goes to to criticize what is definitely not AOC’s position from the clip he played.
Then he compares a country to a business. Anyone who buys into that analogy deserves to be treated like corporations treat their lowest employees.
God damn it, I hate this guy. He said earlier, that H1B visa applications had skyrocketed under Biden. These are specialty occupations according to the government. Then, towards the end, he’s like, “Are these people software engineers? Are they coders? Most likely not.” That’s in direct contradiction to what he said earlier about the H1B visa applications.
There is no reason to believe anything this guy says. Even if there is a border crisis, any information from him about anything at all should be summarily dismissed until he gets his shit together.
