it's a cute focus but it's not something super encompassing as far as I can tell.

Nice little factoid; not much else.

I think the west should re-colonise the world in a new generation of conquest

change my mind!

In current era of decentralised resistance style warfare you could only achieve this by carriing out proper genicide.

There is a reason why US cant stamp the resisters in iraq and Afghanistan.

Its two completely different style of warfare clashing against each other

what was the west famous for after colonising africa? 😉

ship the locals to the cotton fields! 😄

Serious question, how is the debate on immigration still a thing

I get the people that are already here and pathway to freedom, etc, not a fan but, just can't really do anything else

but how is Trump's comment: “Well, I have a solution: Tell people not to come to our country illegally. That's the solution: Don't come to our country illegally. Come like other people do—come legally. I'm saying this very simply: We have laws, we have borders. Don't come to our country illegally.”

contenscious?

the issue is a matter of (education * location ^ 2),

The easiest people to immigrate to a nation like America are either: The Rich, or The Educated
This would create a very general area of income, namely, the western world, where people in general are rich and educated.

In the other parts of the world, Those who are educated get decent jobs and get a decent living, as such they have no need to go anywhere, and the average person is POOR by comaprison to say America.

America doesn't need 1000's of non-skilled poor workers, cuz it has too much already compared to the job market

So this leads to an obvious place of where immigrants flow from Easily vs where they dont.
And you can then reflect this off of race too, since the westernworld is primarily white. and the non-western rich nations are places like Asia (japan etc)
The obvious "accepted" people would be white or oriental. The rejected people would be people from middle america/southern america/africa/middle east.

Because there the average person is poor and uneducated.

So whilst on a fair basis, it is the fix.

It will clearly be less favorable with latinos, arabs and black people cuz they can immigrate less

Hence its not a matter of following procedure, its a matter of "This causes racial imbalance, hence ITS RACIST"

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
