I just realized there's no point in arguing with people over the internet. It's a waste of time and it gets us all nowhere. I've had my fill I guess.
I don't really have an opinion about illegal immigration. Just that it's a problem and none of our politicians want to touch it because it's one of those controversial topics. I think it's wrong for border agents to kill people trying to enter the country illegally, but I think it's wrong for the state to kill a citizen via capital punishment, so that opinion might just be a little biased. I'm against killing in just about every instance excluding self defense. I think the drug war is the main reason for the violence south of the border. That too is one of those topics our politicians won't touch. All they know is "drugs are bad - the war on drugs must be good, so I have to support the war on drugs, otherwise I'll look like (and my opponents will portray) I support drugs!". Only a few I can count on one hand bring the science into it and destroy the propaganda with cold hard facts. And that's how these kinds of issues go unanswered year by year... It's a broken system nobody wants to fix because they'd rather keep their seat in whatever government position they occupy. Why risk it? What's the incentive?
I won't argue with you there. To "argue" any differences is to never come to a conclusion, an extreme waste of time.
On a broader scope, I do see so many problematic situations that would arise if the current laws are not enforced SOON. What angers me is if they "had" been enforced all along, we wouldn't have to address the larger problems that have since stemmed because of government's irresponsible decision to choose to ignore this again and again. I even question if it is deliberate on their part.
The chaos that repetitiously arises are catastrophic events unfolding before our eyes. And where is our current president taking a stance on any of this? I can't even really say for sure. I only know that Hillary Clinton is announcing, on his behalf, that he will be suing the state of Arizona. Some may have no problem with the fact that she announces this to another nation prior to "her own"....but I do. It should be obvious that you don't do something so incredibly stupid like that. This was once a nation that represented "United we stand, Divided we Fall."
That means something, simple as it looks in black and white.
A very simple thing I would like to point out is that if you bring into your society every race, every culture and every religion...war and chaos are sure to follow. You can blame religion for the world's problems, but the truth is if religion didn't exist, mankind would surely find discord on one level or another. Knowing that, you go to the next step which is to define how you avoid conflict between one another due to differences.
Where some societies can come together and find common ground, others simply will NEVER EVER reach a point of even beginning to meet an idea of relating to each other, let alone coming to a logical solution.
This is where so many people get lost and confused.
We are sitting here arguing about the "poor" Mexicans and how we are to take on their economic crisis as our own. If government had been doing their job, they would have enforced our immigration laws. They are not "racist"...they exist for a damn good reason. Sure.......MANY would LOVE to live in America, but let's be realistic, they just can't...and they just can't come here and drop themselves on our soil and say, "How dare you not take care of us?"
Don't get me wrong.....I DO feel for their hardships, but I am HUMAN. I feel for mine as well. Words don't describe what I feel every time I leave my house. I can't drive within a few mile radius without witnessing people living on the streets. I see the desperation in their eyes. It's depressing and it's WRONG that it is continuing to increase all throughout America. There is NO excuse for this....NONE. Only ten years ago, I rarely, if ever witnessed this in my surroundings......and I live in a city which would be considered predominately wealthy people. People who were once middle class are living in shelters, unable to find employment. This is PATHETIC......this is NOT America, or is it? Look at what we have become and in such a short period of time at that.
I also believe there is no excuse whatsoever for ANY single person in this ENTIRE WORLD to ever go hungry!!! How ridiculous is that? We can't come up with a solution to that? EVEN I COULD tackle that given time to properly address.
But before you take on the challenge of feeding the world, you must first feed yourselves, otherwise it's counterproductive to even attempt to take on such a challenge.
I don't know what I would suggest as an immediate step in solving this crisis on the border, but I will say that I find it despicable that the only word I've received from my president is that he has intentions to SUE a state for simply enforcing written law, a law that necessarily MUST be put into effect. Should we be killing them? Well, no...of course not. But it is the fault of our government that it has reached this point of despair.
Were it common knowledge that you just DON'T even attempt to cross America's borders illegally, people would not be entertaining so freely to just dismiss our law as a joke, thus making this entire country appear to the world as inept.
Australia has the right idea and we should be more like them with how we treat immigration. When muslims tried to even implicate their need for sharia law, the prime minister handled it quickly and WISELY. He put his foot down and said, NO, and all his words that followed were not of a racist, but a man who saw the danger of being "too" accepting....no drama in Australia currently as far as I know. But I will use this as an example of what happens when you make decisions based on "tolerance."
Four days after he set foot in Australia, the rape spree began. And during his sexual assault trial in a New South Wales courtroom, the Pakistani man began to berate one of his tearful 14-year-old victims because she had the temerity to shake her head at his testimony.
But she had every reason to express her disgust. After taking an oath on the Qur’an, the man – known only as MSK – told the court he had committed four attacks on girls as young as 13 because they had no right to say “no.” They were not covering their face or wearing a headscarf, and therefore, the rapist proclaimed: “I’m not doing anything wrong.”

This isn't about racism. People with such varied cultures simply will not co-exist peacefully....FACT. America has been heading downhill fast since the 80's....all in the name of "acceptance." The solution to that seems simple enough.
We did not make good decisions in this country for far too long now. It's past time government step up to the plate, otherwise "the people" are going to get mad as hell (they already are) and chaos will without doubt follow.
What I would like to see is Obama get on the ball and at minimum, address this nation with whether or not he has "officially" decided to fight his own state, the country in which he is the president. I don't see how a president can just snap his fingers and change a law...a law that represents providing the people a somewhat safe haven and opportunities to prosper vs. living in despair.
This is where UB comes in ranting about how wonderful they are as people, etc, etc.....while in the same breath saying "The American people?"...."what about them?" He/she doesn't even for a tenth of a second take into consideration harsh realities taking place in the United States of America......the land where "everyone wishes to be." You can't logically rationalize why this country should oversee their own people at the cost of our poor neighbors, sorry....wrong.
Other countries are losing respect for us. Other countries are in fear because we are so haphazardly misplacing what was once what they valued because of the "American way." Ask yourself WHY any country would take issue with us enforcing our borders? The answer is so simple and the problem is shockingly not being acknowledged.
There doesn't need to be "discussion" on WHAT to do. There needs to be IMMEDIATE discussion on HOW to do it. We have numerous problems already to tackle just for not having enforced our laws already.
Obama needs to have the talk with the mexican president. I only have heard of mexico possibly suing Arizona....but if this is true, and if Obama supports this, or even does not take a strong stance AGAINST it........one thing is for certain. All hell will break loose.
Obama must make the mexican president ACCOUNTABLE for allowing and encouraging their migrating here. He must make it known that his people are the responsibility of Mexico, not the USA, to resolve their own current tragedies at hand.
We have got to stop placing blame on any thing other than poor government. The decisions being made, or therefore lack of, are KILLING us....literally. We are at the point of no return if a 180 on behalf of our president doesn't take place, and soon...... you can forever say good-bye to any kind of peace.
This president is selling us down the river. He will do nothing more than attempt to appease every leader, every nation and in the end, make slaves of us all.
I see that while I have been sleeping, UB has been "really" schooling us all.
