American Politics XIV: The Dawning of the Age of the Pumpkin

What I mean is, Global warming isn't real, but I still think we should go green to preserve the environment. I don;t understand some of your comments though.

You do realize that the average global temperature has already increased right?

Oh yeah? Then why are there still monkeys ... no, wait, I mean, why do we still have snow?

This rock hasn’t evolved caught fire yet!

All fun and games until an absolutely serious lawmaker brings a snowball into Congress as "proof" that global warming isn't real.

[Tarsonis]

I'm mostly conservative, and I don't believe in keeping non-whites out. I just want to keep illegal immigrants out.

How does easier immagration=ilegal immigration.

We have no obligation to make immigration easier, nobody has a right to come here.

Ah, so you’re a “fuck off, we’re full” type. That’s good to know

Kind of a shitty attitude from a country made up of people who invited themselves here. I mean, it was enough of our identity that there's a thing about it inscribed on the tablet of the giant statue in the New York harbor.

It's not an attitude, it's merely a fact and one that needs to be acknowledged if there's to be any meaningful discussion on immigration reform is to be had: no nation has an obligation to let anybody immigrate into their country. Every country has a right to sovereign control of its own borders.

I think it's important to try to ground this conversation in specifics. When we talk in general about ideals - about how we're a nation of immigrants, or about how sovereignty entails the right to control our border - we tend to distort both our own position and the other side's. I doubt you think that everyone in the world has an absolute right to come to America and stay, no matter what; I doubt Tars thinks that the country would be stronger or more virtuous if we kept absolutely everyone out. The real question is one of degree, and one of specifics: how many people should we let in, by what process, based on what criteria? If we focus on those questions rather than on scoring rhetorical points, we might actually get closer to understanding each other.

I don't think anyone here disputes that a country has a right to control its borders. What is your proposal for curbing illegal immigration?

Hmmm we are not obligated to make immigration easier says the people whose ancestors who came here without serious immigration rules…..many with no rules…..

I'm gonna send you to the border with a sign that just says no.

Enforce illegal immigration rules, don't tolerate it.

That's not a rebuttal no matter how much you think it is.

Don’t build iron curtains.

The best way to decrease illegal immigration is to stop fueling the drug war.

I strongly agree with Tarsonis Posts on illegal immigration, but I think he is making them in jest.

Yes

It’s on par with your statement.

That doesn't answer my question.

Yes it does, dress warm Buffalo is cold this time of year

Not really, mines a fact, yours is inane comment used in lieu of having an actual rebuttal.

Trump y sus partidarios quieren deportar a los latinos que nacieron aquí si sus padres eran ilegales al momento del nacimiento

that's a big part of it
