I’m prompted to create a thread based on a single noun
as I just read this on Mastodon
The first line drew me in, people disappearing, being taken?
it links to
What I don’t see is the failure of that blog to mention the immigration status of the “tens of millions”
Truth, the latter part of the thread title.
To me it’s clear we’re discussing illegal immigrants, and I’ve heard of those types of numbers having flooded the border, but not sure I’ve heard any of these lawless lovers admit it.
There’s a lot to discuss here and we’re a small forum so I’ll see if anything comes of this before adding more.
No one is illegal, the more accurate word is undocumented I guess... Kurt Vonnegut compared guns to toasters, _Deadeye Dick_ the book or maybe in interviews??
I understand that to be true, legal is a fiction, so no one is legal either.
We use legal to govern, now you propose to accept undocumented which voids those living as documented.
Honestly this may work, Rome was dismantled, pretty similar to now too, we just celebrated independence from the British crown due to direct rebellion, you propose to repeat both by dismantling and rebelling against US laws.
What then will be the new rule of law?
Will you be grateful for it, will you adhere to it?
Have you actually thought this through before your rage against the machine?
Think we’ll escape this without civil war without killing one another?
What if the economy collapses and all forms of government fall, what then?
edit
Tard, comments then blocks replies as if we can plan on his contribution to help work things out
That’s all I see on Mastodon, self absorbed opinions and refusal to dialog differences.
I am Legal you are legal it is a reality .. they are illegal that is a reality . The fiction is that illegals dont have to become legal through the proper naturalization process.
What a stupid phrase. How can you protect actual refugees, when you don’t stop their oppressors from following them in? How can you assert your own principles and laws in your own land, when our enemies redraw our borders and ignore them?
“Illegal” (in this usage) is an abbreviation for “illegal alien.” An alien can be in the country
legally - unexpired visa holder, or a Green Card holder/Permanent Resident Alien
or illegally - overstayed their visa, visa was revoked, or came without permission
It’s like a home can have
a legal resident - the homeowner or renter in good standing
or an illegal resident - a trespassing squatter, or a legally evicted renter
If you do not enforce laws against illegal presence, you have no border, no strategic defense in depth, no perimeter security, and therefore impaired interior security.
Illegal aliens could set up a parallel government, and displace the legitimate government. This has been happening with Communist Chinese police setting up field offices in NYC. This way, the Chinese government can continue to persecute Chinese refugees who flee to America, and punish them for criticizing the Chinese Communist Party. To protect legitimate refugees, we need to keep illegal aliens out.
The thing I want to clarify is that this never was huge hot button topc until Biden admin started allowing 10’s of millions of illegals to free stream across the border. The USA is the ONLY major country in the WORLD without completely sealed borders. The border should have been sealed 60 yrs. Ago !!!
without completely sealed borders. The border should have been sealed 60 yrs. Ago !!!
