Half a million people who wish to leave their country for America would no longer be able to. A great many of those people are operating out of necessity.

- vacuity 3y agoWhat, don't Americans need things too? The logical conclusion of "countries should support their people" is that the countries these people are emigrating from should support them. If a country like the US is doing that well for its people, it can afford to give aid to these other countries, maybe accept a portion of the immigrants. As it stands, it's kind of a lose-lose situation because who cares about caring for their people? Not the US or those countries that people are emigrating en masse from. It's not like the US has the sole responsibility or capability to care for everyone under the sun. That's the reality of the situation, if nothing else.
- Zetice 3y agoIt is not "reality" to claim that Americans would lose out if more immigrants came to the US.
- vacuity 3y agoI'm clearly not against immigrants because I don't like immigration. It's also not grounded in reality for you to say that Americans can support arbitrary numbers of immigrants because the economy will magically make things work out.
- Zetice 3y agoIt absolutely is grounded in reality, because in reality billions of people wouldn’t move to the US. You’re trying to claim realism but then applying absurd hyperbole.
