That really is the only way to take this. Trump is stemming the tide of human trafficking and slowing down the flow of illegal opioid drugs coming into our country, which we all agree is a problem. Those 2 things alone should supercede any kind of perceived racist motivations behind this.
Hahahahaha.

Imagine being so stupid that you would bring up the wall in a thread that has nothing to do with that just so you can complain about brown people stopping other brown people from breaking the law.Imagine being so stupid that you think a wall will slow down drug trafficking
Even funnier I'd thinking Trump is doing this to help people. Hoooooooly shit the cognitive dissonance is incredible.
Red hat logic: we gotta keep everybody in their gang infested countries to save that half a percent that might be human trafficking.
Also red hat logic: putting kids in cages is fine, as long as they are brown.
You have gone from antagonist to being seriously off the rails. You have yet to make any kind of case for why Mexico should continue being a lawless state where little girls are sold into sex slavery and why we shouldn't try to stop that. Take a break dude, this is starting to become pretty concerning.
Its a weird kind of racism or something. Brown people can do terrible things and if white people do something to stop it then its just a racist move.
Holy crap dude. You are LITERALLY taking a position in favor of letting 8 year old girls be sold into sex slavery and then questioning my morality? You are LITERALLY saying that any way to stop the illegal import of drugs isnt worth it because racism.
Oh. So what you are saying is that Mexico doing something to clean up their country isnt worth it. Again, same position and still completely stupid. What the hell do libertarians in the US have to do with Mexico arresting criminals? You seriously are as stupid as you claim others to be.
After over a year of being here, its becoming clear to me that you bring nothing of value to any discussion. I won't ignore you, but i will have no problem calling out your hypocrisy, strawman arguments, personal attacks, and false premise talking points any more. You seriously crossed a line here and I'm done with it. What you advocate for goes against every moral and ethical standard that any person of character cares about.
By being mad that the Mexican govt is doing something to stop little girls being sold into sex slavery and calling it racism. That is seriously ****ed up.
i just had to view ninjas comments after seeing your posts replying to nobody. wow talk about insane. guy has serious problems. you should consider ignoring him. he literally brings nothing of value to this forum.
There is so much more to it than hitting the "birthplace lottery." While you specifically do not feel like you earned the benefits that come with being an American citizen, someone in your family did earn those and passed to you the responsibility to keep it going (at the very least, hopefully to build on the previous generations). As you should be working to ensure a foundation for your children that they can build from for their children and that America can benefit from to be the "shining city on the hill". To equate this with pure random luck is dismissing everything that was done before while also shirking a responsibility that you have to people who intentionally sacrificed for you, the American citizen yet to come. Not some random person from another country. You specifically. It is not by luck that you came to be here, nor by happenstance that you are a college-educated producer in our American society. This all happened by a series of conscious, intentional, and in many cases very costly choices guided by a value system that we all share, even if we differ in some small ways.
They were legal then and they met the requirements then. Immigration requirements evolved over the years to respond to conditions present in those times. To say that they aren't legal by today's standards is irrelevant.
Yes, it was so much easier then.
For an immigrant in 1905, getting on a boat with hundreds and hundreds of other people jam packed onto ships with no real belongings allowed, being treated like livestock along the journey, to make a dangerous and brutal journey across the Atlantic in which many people died at sea, only to then arrive at Ellis Island with rampant disease and malnutrition while you're held in cold, shitty rooms to wait for processing was certainly soooo much easier than people in 2019 visiting an Embassy today and obtaining the paperwork needed to legally migrate to the US by commercial aircraft.
They also had to undergo physical and mental examinations upon entering. That was before the 1920's when things got even more restricted because they knew even then that the country could not handle mass immigrations (14.5 million in the decade).Yes, it was so much easier then.
