Well it’s weird because there are a 195 counties on the planet and they’re all, to one degree or another, negatively effected by illegal immigration because all countries require legal citizenship.
- OKRainbowKid 8mo agoOkay? What point are you trying to make?
- slowhadoken 8mo agoI’m not making a point, a made an observation.
- throwawayqqq11 8mo agoNo, you didnt. You basically said illigal immigration is bad because its illegal. You didnt include positive effects, like economic contribution. That positive conclusion about immigration is scientific consensus btw. Its easy to find if you dare to observe it.
- slowhadoken 8mo agoI’m liberal so I believe in governmental regulation which includes legal immigration and labor rights. I believe illegal immigrants shouldn’t be exploited by private businesses and citizens should be paid a living wage.
- throwawayqqq11 8mo agoAdd a "well integrated illegal immigrants should have a path to citizenship" and you would contradict your first comment about illegal immigrants being harmful. What legallity is, is not written is stone.
- slowhadoken 8mo agoIf you’re a conservative capitalist that would sound good but I’m liberal. My understanding of government and liberalism is consistent with that of people like Bernie Sanders and Noam Chomsky. What you’re suggesting, by their standards, is a paradox.
- Starman_Jones 8mo agoIs either Noam Chomsky or Bernie Sanders a liberal, though? It sounds like you're very confused about what you believe - almost like a conservative's straw man idea of a liberal.
- slowhadoken 8mo agoNoam Chomsky is far left and Bernie Sanders is also more liberal than a Democrat. Here is Sanders saying the same thing I did https://youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0&pp=2AYH https://youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0&pp=2AYH I’m confused, what do you think a liberal is?
- Starman_Jones 8mo agoLiberals are people who believe in liberalism. This necessarily precludes them from being on the far left (and has for well over a century).
- slowhadoken 8mo agoIn the US “liberal” is often used as a short hand for “left wing”, Isaiah Berlin calls it ‘negative liberty’. Noam Chomsky describes himself as a ‘libertarian socialist’ and Bernie Sanders describes himself as a ‘democratic socialist’, both of these political stances are left wing, some would says “far left”.

- goatlover 8mo agoDo you think that observation gives immigration enforcement agencies a right to execute citizens who are exercising their rights, and then completely lie about it?
- slowhadoken 8mo agoA U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent is authorized to use deadly force by the Department of Homeland Security only when an officer has a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.
