When someone desperately wants something and it's really, really hard to obtain, they might try not-so-good ways to get it. For example, a poor father with a family of 6 might deal drugs in order to put food on the table. But if it's very easy to get that which you so desperately want, then you get by good, legal means. For example, that poor father with a family of 6 obtains a legal job instead of dealing drugs. It's the same process here.

Amin, go away.

I believe we should have some border security so we can keep out legitimate criminals, but also let in those who actually need to get in.


I'm with you here, the only reason that any kind of restriction should be put on borders is to catch people with genuine malicious intent, such as drug smugglers, slavers, etc.

My post was in response to the OP that you so conveniently chose to disregard almost as soon as somebody posted contrary to your position. It had absolutely no relation to that conversation, which anyone with half a brain can see. Stop this fucking lying of yours.

Really?

Because here's when you decided to argue with me and pretend as if me and him were talking about streamlining immigration, which we weren't.

Another solution to all this is actually fixing the problems that cause people to leave. Such as aiding foreign governments in rooting out drugs and gangs, and making space livable.

Depends on how simple you make it. ;)

And also, again, of course the correct answer is to have enough resources into the legal side of the immigration process so that judges can properly weigh up the validity of each individual case they get.


But we still will not be letting in everyone.
Those sneaking in illegally are often not qualified in the first place.

Because we will not be letting in everyone, there are going to be people trying to get in illegally.
Making the process faster will not do anything unless you massively expand the annual intake.

It is still a numbers game.

We bring in about a million a year.

But 750 million adults want to leave there country, and the US is the first choice of 158 million.
Plus remember that is only adults.

We are not going to be bringing in enough to eliminate or probably even significantly reduce illegal immigration.

We will still have to rely on border security, deterrence and removal measures to bring illegal immigration under control.

The point is that they don't want the brown-skinned foreigners to be seen as equals to America's citizenry and would thus rather prevent them from being Americans as much as possible.

If that wasn't the case, they'd fully support easing both the immigration and citizenship processes and thus eradicate the issues of illegal immigration in the easiest way imaginable, rather than a border wall across the US-Mexico alone, with no regard for the other border up north.

I think that people need to be free of diseases, have no criminal record, speak English, have preferably have some form of higher education and have some form of employment waiting for them so they aren't a drain when they come here.

But that's just me.


Some of those should be waived in the case of a person claiming refugee status, however they would need to be swapped for a compelling argument that they are in physical danger if they stay in their country.

And as for employment, it might be wise to have a set time limit of, say, 1 month for them to find work (or enrol into education) because the reality is sometimes that might not be feasible.

And, once again, all of that should have a standard of proof that a reasonable person should be able to quickly compile, and the immigration courts should be funded enough so that there are enough bureaucrats to efficiently process the case.

Except for all the foreign language threads on here. I'd also like to make the point that calling another language "gibberish" just by virtue of your lack of understanding it (or, idk, using google translate to figure out that our friend here was saying something close to "Thank God") is bigoted at the very least.

But back to the argument at hand, if Legal Immigration were easier for people to gain access to, then it should be a logical thought that Illegal Immigration would be less prevalent. Of those that would persist in trying to enter the nation illegally, they should be met with an effective border security force that's actually capable of processing them in a humane fashion. Is that so much to ask for?

Because context actually matters.

I didn't enter into it until he said to me that he didn't see what was wrong with letting illegal immigrants become citizens.

Only then did I say what I said. And then you decided to argue with me about... streamlining immigration? When I was talking about not giving illegal aliens citizenship?

But I guess context doesn't matter when you're looking for a reason to be outraged.

Aiding governments does nothing when the governments are the problem.
Throwing money at a corrupt government never makes it less corrupt.

Novus America represents my vision of an awesome Atompunk near future United States of America expanded to the entire North American continent, Guyana and the Philippines. The population would be around 700 million.
Think something like prewar Fallout, minus the bad stuff.

Politically I am an independent. I support what is good for the country, which means I cannot support either party.

Except for all the foreign language threads on here. I'd also like to make the point that calling another language "gibberish" just by virtue of your lack of understanding it (or, idk, using google translate to figure out that our friend here was saying something close to "Thank God") is bigoted at the very least.

But back to the argument at hand, if Legal Immigration were easier for people to gain access to, then it should be a logical thought that Illegal Immigration would be less prevalent. Of those that would persist in trying to enter the nation illegally, they should be met with an effective border security force that's actually capable of processing them in a humane fashion. Is that so much to ask for?

Yeah, and those foreign language threads are specifically designated.

Every other thread people speak English in. Like, ya know, this one.
Yes, yes, I get it. I'm racist and fascist because I disagree with you. Can we skip that part? I've heard it a million times before and I guarantee it won't be any different when you do it
