Look, I’m an immigrant. You know the risks you take when you come to the US on a non immigrant visa. We all choose to play the game and nothing is guaranteed. I would’ve considered reckless to have a kid in the US knowing that my status is not stable without having an alternative plan. We need to face the facts and stop acting like we immigrants were victims of some bait and switch and must be protected from any fallout of this process. The rules of the game are transparent.

- culopatin 5mo agoUse a condom. If you’re smart enough to figure out a temporary visa, you’re smart enough to understand conception.

Personally I have no problem giving people at a minimum permanent status if they decide to add to our declining population. I like to imagine when I'm old and weak someone there to provide my medical care. I'm not picky on where their parents are from.
- culopatin 5mo agoThis is a completely different discussion. One can be responsible, if you’re not, there are consequences. It’s not just this. Zone out a bit driving and go too fast? Ticket. Left weed in your jacket by accident and went to the airport to fly internationally? Well… Everything has consequences, all I’m trying to say is that people know what those are and we shouldn’t be “aw but what if they don’t read the rules?” Uncertainty is clear from the start.

Immigration laws are racist to an absurd degree, the 7% rule unfairly makes it significantly easier for European nationals to get Greencards for example. Recently it's been cranked up a notch, only White South African refugees are being approved now. Honestly the problem is going to solve itself. Without being able to brain drain the rest of the world , America will start to fall behind economically. Less people will want to come here. Which brings me a certain sadness, my friends growing up were largely immigrants. The future of America without immigration frankly sucks. With bland food too.
- culopatin 5mo agoOk? What does that have to do with what I was talking about?
