It is pretty ironic that americans can grow up broke in west virginia and freely chase economic prospects around the continental US with little trouble. But be born in mexico and now you have this entire byzantine process to do the same thing just because of where the hospital was located in. It is pretty stupid. People are fungible. Arguments for borders are arguments for irrational xenophobia when you distill them, since they never seem to use these same arguments to contain poor americans in poor states.

- kjkjadksj 3y agoPeople are brainpower and labor. They are fungible. Its politics and religion that tries to make you think this person with a brain and two hands is fundamentally different than this other person with a brain and two hands.
- peterfirefly 3y agoThat's the Kang and Kodos Theory of Humans. Actual humans have ideas, values, beliefs, religions, obligations, loyalties, desires, etc... And they also differ a lot in brainpower and ability (and desire) to work!
- kjkjadksj 3y agoSure, theres a distribution for everytbing. But on the whole I dont believe these distributions are much different. If anything its the born american in the coddled middle class suburban upbringing thats likely to slack off and not ever have learned what hard work actually means. They are playing roblox and pushing the average age to start driving back by the year, while a kid their age half the world away might be laying brick 12 hours a day knowing if they don’t they don’t eat that night.
