  1. Then I asked which laws are racist. I agreed separating families is targeted at Mexican and Central American immigrants is racist but as someone else pointed out, it's not actually a law.
  2. If I cannot support either, I will not just vote for the sake of voting.
  3. You were the one who said the laws are racist. I just want to know HOW they are racist. Last time I checked the laws were the same for all non-citizens. Enforcing the laws is not racist. Choosing who to enforce them on and not enforce them on based on their race is. They need to enforce them equally on everyone (which I do not think they do, but believe they should).
  4. I think you are misunderstanding me, I don't need proof that separating families is racist. I need to know what laws are racist. Do not agree.
  5. I support upholding the law and changing the laws that need to be changed. I didn't vote for Trump, and I'll vote on a case by case basis this November. If I don't agree with either, I will abstain.
  6. So what does this have to do with saying that immigration laws are racist? I already said this policy is awful and that I was against it. A judge ordered them to be returned and the people in charge of that are dragging their feet or saying they lost track of them. I said on another thread that this is being used as a deterrent and children are being returned if their parents agree to voluntary deportation. Not sure what you are trying to convince me of.
  7. I do not want separating families to be enforced. I do want all of if he other laws enforced.
  8. Separating families is a policy I don't agree with and would agree is targeted to Mexican and Central American illegal immigrants. What other immigration laws are racist though?
  9. I know that. I thought you wanted to know how it would be implemented if the amendment was repealed.
  10. It couldn't be retroactive. Issue a United States ID to citizens and people with permanent residence. As long as one of the parents of a child has a valid USID, the child is a citizen.
  11. *disclaimer: I do not agree with or support this policy. They are using it as a deterrent. Come here and we'll take your kids away. We'll return them if you agree to be deported. If not, we don't know what happened to your kids, sorry.
  12. Never have or will vote straight R or D. It takes forever but I view them on a case by case basis.
  13. Wait a minute, you're telling me that there are racists among southern whites?
  14. In my experience, a lot of academics only know the theoretical side of the subject they teach. My EE professors would take take the calculations as gospel on how something works and then when it was actually put into practice, it didn't work. Their minds were blown that it didn't work. The best professors I had were the ones that had real work experience, not just school.
  15. My response was to the people claiming that they discharged them because they are targeting immigrants. Maybe they did, but then again maybe they didn't.
  16. Hopefully we'll see the details when the case is heard. If there was a targeted effort to single out only immigrants while ignoring others it will come out.
  17. We cannot prove that they were or were not targeted because of their race/ethnicity. If it could be proven that they were the only ones discharged because of incomplete background checks, then you could make that claim. For the record, I think they should have just placed them on an administrative hold like I was put on when I was in the military. They needed more time to complete my top secret clearance, so I worked around base doing details.
  18. If you are authorized to be in the United States, then they would be eligible. But I don't know how they would enforce it for people on visas. Like these Russian ladies who come here just to have a baby. I don't think that should be allowed. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/birth-tourism-brings-russian-baby-boom-miami-n836121
  19. So they let white people who have not passed background checks remain in the military? If they do, then I would say that they are targeting these people solely based on race/ethnicity.
  20. To eliminate birth tourism and anchor babies. It's just one less incentive for someone to enter illegally. And yes, I understand that this is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.
  21. Agree. Impose harsh penalties on any company who hires an illegal immigrant. Penalties are per illegal immigrant employed. Provide asylum seekers with a decision in a reasonable amount of time, not years from now. Make a law that states anyone who is in the US illegally would forfeit their right to be considered for asylum. Eliminate jus soli.
  22. I never said that. I said it's going to be a consequence of adding more low wage earners via immigration. Of course I want every child here to receive an education, but don't know what solution for funding it is. What about medical care and food? How are all of these programs going to be funded?
  23. I've already agreed with this. My opinion is that the majority of new immigrants will be renters and not buying a house. So the total amount of property tax money collected by the school district will remain the same. However, the amount of children that the school district will have to support will increase. I don't know what the solution is because we do not have unlimited money or resources.
  24. That simply saying the answer is to just allow more legal immigrants in is the answer to our immigration problem. I'm not opposed to this idea, but where is the money going to come from? What are the consequences for coming in illegally if we are allowing more people in legally? Do we abolish birthright citizenship? I don't know what the answer is, but I haven't heard any ideas on how to handle it.
