Stories of cartel towns are greatly exaggerated. Not the norm at all.

Most people come here for a better life. If they were in fear for their lives they would seek asylum.

stories of illegal immigrants are greatly exagerated lol

But they don't do that.

I will have to do more research, i don't know how much manpower, resources and money the ming used to maintain the wall

People want to come here and don't care about being citizens, they just want to reap the benefits of living here. The fact that this is being pushed for acceptance and that the contrary is seen as "racist" is a fucking joke. It's a violation of our sovereignty.

People who come here illegally are just fucking over people who want to come here legally.

i don't belive the narritive that they are just coming here to "reap the benefits" i would love to see statistics on that instead of trump just telling stories. We should remove immigration quotas and increase the budget for background checkers, and kick out people with violent pasts

Multiculturalism is a failure. My parents were born in Hungary, and refused to speak Hungarian when I was growing up so I would know English and be successful. This is how things used to be.

When you discourage assimilation you invite people to rape your country.

well i cant post images here

but immigration is way up and violent crimes are way down

you can look at the stats

Correlation does not equal causation, especially not in this case.

1) Because as I said most immigrants are innocent people looking for a better life and 2) They are a small portion of crimes any time at any point in history simply because they're a small portion of the population.

okay so we have a tiny portion of immigrants commiting crimes

thats unavoidable

Just because they're innocent doesn't mean they aren't selfish for breaking the law to the chagrin of people who come here legally and become good citizens.

It is illegal for a reason. We need strong borders. We're a country.

People should not be allowed to come in without being vetted. Saying they don't commit crimes is not reason to be against a border wall.

10% of Mexico's population has emigrated to the US.

So if we just make legal immigration easier, and they crossed legally, everything would be fine?

This is not a small problem.

*they all cross legally

Yes.

what benefits do illegal immigrants get, that legal immigrants don't get?

I don't get your meaning.

When you emigrate illegally for the sole reason that there are more immigrants than we could take in legally you risk being turned away, denied citizenship, etc. and this is a real fear for immigrants.

So if we just increase the number of visas and staffers for background checks, then all illegal immigrants would just cross legally, because the process will be quicker.

So there aren't benefits. It's a matter of expedience to not go through the citizenship process and fear of being rejected.

why build a wall when we can increase the rate of legal immigration?

Because I don't think we should be bringing in thousands of illiterate poorly educated people who don't speak English and as it stands are not encouraged at all to assimilate.

I would turn most away.

I only want intelligent skilled workers.

My parents were intelligent skilled workers fleeing post-Soviet dirt poor Eastern Europe.

My family assimilated and we all speak English

This is the kind of immigration we need.

Yeah, i guess i just don't value "culture" like you do. I could care less if someone is uneducated or can't speak english

i really don't care if my neighbor is retarded

Citizenship processing is an assimilation process.
