Our democracy is pretty corrupt

Im pretty sure both parties use both private and public funds to fuel their campaigns

Probably yeah

Lol Republicans are in a league of their own when it comes to corruption

It's not even close.

The right likes to try and draw false equivalencies, and tbh it's super cringe

Can't be a republican if you haven't sold your balls and soul to the highest bidder.

(or sometimes a lower, but more racist bidder - gotta have your priorities, right?)

People sell balls?

The Ball Bazaar

cosby sells his semen to moloch

Damn you really gotta wait to find the sane people on here

@!GoldenKingship! Actually diversity is conducive to the security of the nation. Immigrants are attracted to places where there is some presence of their ethnic group so having more diversity makes the country more attractive to immigrants.

and the labor they provide and businesses they start up stimulate the economy which helps the nation stay secure

*Exponential function*

*More immigrants = more people*

Exactly

Except that on average immigrants are usually part of the working-age young male demographic

The problem is that people argue about immigrants being unskilled

Depending on a nations immigration policy; immigrants may come in educated skilled labor

But that means some other country is having a brain drain

But the origin country gets the remittances so they're usually happy

That is if said immigrants send money back

Sometimes they may start a new life; become citizens of said country

Well in the context of the US the major immigrant groups that come in do send money back

No nation really wants its people to emigrant out

I think some central asian country got like 40% of its income from remittances

eh, it depends

Tru, immigrants may send money back to their country for their families and such

Because the US has technology that most countries don't so people in the US generally are more productive and make more money

Yes, and there is usually an investment on education of countries like US tend to be higher than some developing countries

Thus productivity is higher with tech and education

Yeah, so it's better if they send money back while living in the US than in their own countries

Since they'll probably make a lot more

Now, does this include illegal immigrants or legal immigrants?

That depends

In some cases illegal immigrants contain a lot of people we don't want and in some cases they contain mostly people that we do want but that can't get through because of quotas

So I'm not just gonna make a blanket statement about all of them

There is problem where there isn't really an option to naturalize immigrants if they enter illegally

And if there is; it may piss off the immigrants that came thru a tedious legal process
