To request asylum they mist first enter the US. Are you saying they should prevent people who may be seeking asylum from entering the US? AS to scaring people away with guns, how would you do that. I am pretty sure shooting at civilians to scare them away when they pose no physical danger is illegal.


Under PC the National Guard needs actual congressional authorisation to do that anyway.

Sorting out the criminals, letting the decent people in and letting them work etc. actually rakes in revenue.

If not gee, I guess Germanies debts ought to have skyrocketed since 2015 since we´re letting lots of em in... Wait what? Oh, seems our debts are in a skyfall since 2015. But surely, our debt is falling because immigrants cost oh so much :clap:


You seem to be misunderstanding what he is saying. He is saying that sending the national guard to assist the border guard will be expensive, which it will.

To assume there are jobs American's wouldn't do is just ridiculous and nonsensical. I know several people that would give their own arms to be able to work a field.

I feel like you're just trying to play at satire though with following up "Disinformation is killing USA" with actual disinformation.


Then why are at least 50% of all people on a construction site immigrants?

Or also why is germanies debt falling if we western people are oh so hard working and efficient?

Please explain.

Technically they could march through Canada and end up back in the US simply by going to Alaska.

That depends on a few things.



Okay we have... Option 1: Sort it out(costs a BIT) and rake in long term profits that easily and by far outweigh anything you invested?

Or option 2: Send them back(people like you seem to forget that that COSTS MONEY TOO lmao), increase the problem... --> more crime,more immigrants will come, you will need to send more and more back... costs ever increasing... Cartels gain more power, trafick drugs in your country too, again insane law enforcement costs that just keep piling up...

But okay fine, suit yourself, the sooner America falls the sooner the world lost the biggest tyrannt on the planet which is only good in my books.

That's not how to request asylum. And no I'm not saying we should shoot them.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

I'm not understanding where 'the germanies" comes in (It's just called Germany, dude) so I'll leave that one alone.

As for at least 50% of construction sites employing immigrants?

I'm gonna need to see some fax.

You have to be on US territory to start the process to to get asylum. And what are you saying, because I doubt people walking around with guns is going to scare these people.

To imply that the cause for Germany's debt decreasing is immigrants is absurd. Look at Italy, Greece, Spain, France, or nearly any other European country. Why do we not see this same decrease? Do you think that perhaps there are other things impacting Germany's debt?

I think it is perfectly reasonable to say that it's okay for people to come to do jobs that Americans won't do. Like voting Democrat.

It still shows that immigrants don't have all that much effect on debt.

How much you wanna bet those farms don't exactly advertise their employment opportunities to the American public?

Also, prisoners doing some good honest labor? Hell yea!

I mean hell, I'd be more than happy to get down in the dirt and work the fields, considering that's how I grew up. But giving inmates a means to contribute back is always a plus.

1: Lmao these countries only took in a fraction of those Germany did xD

2: Actually their economies are doing better since if you paid attention to the news, with the exception of Greece that has been fucking for over a decade now.

3: What´s the reason then? Our policies 2015 are literaly the same neo-liberal policies as since 2003 already. Our debt has been increasing for over 30 fucking years and suddenly when we accept a huge wave of immigrants in 2015 for the first time in more then half a century our debt falls like no tommorrow suddenly?

Yeah, sure, just a coincidence xD It´s not just that our debt is falling but the rate at which it is falling is actualy a small miracle in itself.

Anyway hey anyone with Honduran or Guetemalan families: Spread the word to go to Germany if you can afford... Yeah pretty racist at times etc... But seriously? You´re better off here then there lmao. And for us your workforce is better off here too, win-win ;)

1: You still can´t argue against it.

2: You imply that immigrants ruin economy and increase costs, when actual reality and numbers in Europe show you the exact opposite. But nice try to twist around your own backing into a corner.
