I'm quite alright with legal immigration

but you can only culturally integrate so many people at once

I also don't understand how anyone can think borders are racist

I'm going to make the racist assumption that many immigrants are probably poor as they are leaving poor countries, thus putting strain on the social programs

which would be ok if we're talking legal immigration, but when you open the flood gates, these social programs are probably getting overloaded

i just explained that,

With borders, YOU decide who comes in, and obviously you want someone taht contributes more than they cost, instead of someone that costs more than they contribute.

So you want "THE BEST", and the best comes from other developped nations, which are primarily white or asian 😉

that's not even what I want either 😃

no but thats why its an "issue"

I'm quite alright with people coming from the poor countries, legally

immigrants are going to be awesome citizens

and patriotic and all of that

I don't care if they're poor or not

Immigration for the sake of diversity is stupid. Immigration should be used to take people who will make the country better.

(in most cases)

you can be poor and make the country better

so that's not even an argument, or should be

but yeah merit based is good too

yes, but having a rich person (to pay taxes) or an educated person (to work difficult high-prosperity jobs) is a "Safer bet" than a "maybe he'll do well"

true

Of course you could be poor and make the country better. That's the great thing about merit. It ignores social status and race.

but that's basically calling for an ethnostate 😃 (substitute wealth for race)

i mean, would you rather have a licensed pilot fly your airplane? or a mexican who is nice and calls you his hombre? 😛

and has a plumbers license

just to reference that talk show woman 😄

por que no los dos?

who got upset cuz Trump wants to deport her toilet-cleaner

I, for one, welcome our new Mexican plumber airline pilot hombres

Kelly Osborne was it?

yes

god i'm terrible with remembering names for certain 😛

merit based with a quota, good

i always second guess myself

open borders bad

and that's what this comes down to

like how i sometimes think Tim Pool is called Tim Pond

sorry, no borders, not open borders

I even love how taht other woman goes "Oh thats... No...."

she totally knew that was such a bad things to say 😄

yup

but all in all thats why they prioritise higher-value people for immigration, cuz its a safe bet
