Because clearly they don't know their history and that THIS IS A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS.

Most do, and overstay a visa when the idiotically long procedure for vetting prospective immigrants takes longer than they are allowed to stay.

It takes SIX TO TEN YEARS to navigate the immigration and naturalization process.

Kat is naturally correct.

The FBI notes that Islamic extremism is a relatively new phenomenon, and the market on terrorism was cornered by domestic terrorists, particularly right-wing extremists in the last 20 or so years.

Not going to happen it will lead to the death of the civilisation. If say for example Sweden was 80 percent Somalian then its not Sweden anymore is it.



You mean, the death of "white" civilization.
But given this is a nation of immigrants, it would not lead to the death of American civilization.

Don't you dare call them backward when the only reason the English survived their first winter was these backward people feeding them and teaching them to hunt and farm and fish in this new land.

God, the absolute ignorance of history and disdain for people our ancestors tried to eradicate through genocide to steal their home is sickening.

Anyone else who is done trusting reports on the situation here it is as close to the source as possible.

http://www.sbac.edu/pages/ACPS
http://www.sbac.edu/files/_kfB0Y_/8106c ... y_2018.pdf

The school confirms he is "no longer enrolled" but states that expulsion takes a long process and hasn't been done in five years. Couple ways to read that.

If we're talking about being "backward" in the sense of having made less progress than is normal it depends on your frame of reference. If Europe was normal for the time then no predominantly stone-age culture could be anything but backward.

Only one of those is inherently good. The other is going to ruin good and bad people alike, and probably more good than bad. And you're not going to be gaining much in the short or long run, or at least no more than you'd get if you gave those who deserve it a path to legalization.

Sorry, when you publicly announce that you want to rape and torture people, and there is a reaction to it, that's not 'thoughtcrime'. That's presenting a clear and present danger.

For God's sake, everyone complaining of First Amendment rights -- they do NOT protect you from the consequences of making threats

Describing a violent fantasy isn't a threat.

I'm generally in favour of freedom of association but the state isn't. That this sort of person is more likely on average to be violent or commit crime despite no specific prior acts may well be true, but it is the same justification given for segregation. They can't have it both ways.

The trick is to, simultaneously, make it harder to enter the country illegally, but also easier to become a legal citizen if you're good.

I'm thinking a giant moat between the USA and Mexico with bridges at major roads, each with an immigration services office right at the American side. And also helicopters to dissuade illegal entry.

Visas, but yes. Which is why the wall is one of the dumbest wastes of money ever proposed.

As to building a moat, we'd probably spend less money paying illegal immigrants to go home than we would on a moat, so why not just give them an education, a path to citizenship if they keep their noses clean, and actually do something productive with that money. Like actually pay teachers. Or send kids like this to counseling where they can work out their issues and such.
