The little I know,
“Wrong. You missed the point.”
I’m not sure you understood my point enough to be able to determine if I have “missed” someone else’s point or not. You restated dbrim’s point that I was responding to with increased verbiage but no new content.
“There are several problems that we have due to the open borders.”
I agree that there are big problems, but calling them “open” borders is a gross exaggeration.
“One is the MS-13”
Any response to my point about MS-13 above?
“and other criminals who not only enter leisurely, but are able to get every version of support.”
I believe this statement is rather misleading. Undocumented immigrants are barred from receiving government benefits.
“The second is the sheer cost of managing all the immigrant issues.”
Describe some of these costs, and tell me how covering the nearly 2000 mile US/Mexico border with a wall and drastically increasing border patrols wouldn’t also take money from the finite pie that is the Federal budget, or why it’s the poverty fighting benefits that would be cut due to these unknown “immigrant issues” costs.
“Until be turn into a surplus budget, we should take care of our own before the others.”
Given the tax cuts Congress passed into law, I don’t think we’ll be seeing a budget surplus any time soon. And any deficit reduction plans put forward by those who want the tax cuts and to stop immigration seek to reduce the funds available for “taking care of our own.” So forgive me if I see this argument as kind of hollow.
“You are others have forgotten that there are legal means to enter the US.”
No, for the majority of people there are not. Unless you are being sponsored by an American employer (rare), are a spouse, sibling, parent, or child of a citizen (and immigrating via this method can take 20-25 years!), or are granted asylum (which is the category most of the people involved with the family separation crisis are attempting to utilize), there is pretty much no way for most people to immigrate legally to the United States. Get in line? There is no line.
“Who told them (besides the Democrats who are anti-American) to smuggle into the country?”
Just because somebody has a different view of a problem or its solutions than you do, does not make him anti-American.
“If they want to do things illegally, they lack the right to demand compliance with the law.”
Say what?
