    How is it racist? Unskilled is unskilled no matter what race the person is.

    They won't stop there because Mexico does not tolerate immigrants who only want to live off the government tit. Mexico is a huge country, not everywhere is riddled with violence and poverty like the border towns.
  3. RandomIdoit
    And that is the kind of thinking a lot of people are against.
  4. RandomIdoit
    IF they are within our borders. I'm not arguing against that. The goal is to only let people in legally. If they only need asylum, why are they not claiming it in Mexico? Can you see why people are skeptical when they say they are seeking asylum and pass through Mexico which was a party of the Refugee convention?

    They are complicit in the immigration problem. They give them visas to allow them to travel through Mexico. Why is Mexico not granting them asylum? Are we going to play the "not our problem" game? If so, how are these immigrants the US's problem?
  6. RandomIdoit
    Mexico can grant them a temporary visa (in addition to the travel visas they already are granting) and let them live there until their court date.

    Do not separate them. Do not put them in detention centers. Do not let them roam free in the US before their court date. Can we agree on this?
  8. RandomIdoit
    You forgot the part where they allow them roam around the United States for years until their court date.
  9. RandomIdoit
    They are the ones who granted them the travel visa in the first place. They can keep them until they are processed.
  10. RandomIdoit
    Separating the families is awful. They should be processed on the Mexican side of the border and wait there until they are granted asylum.

    Because of this:

    Nope. But people complain about the how bad low income people live in the US, and people want to add more low income people? How is that logical?
  13. RandomIdoit
    I entered $20000 salary, $1000 withheld, 2 children.
  14. RandomIdoit
    Maybe they should do that for the existing citizens before adding more people to the system.

    An apartment is also less responsibility than a house. Taxes are not separate from your rent payment. You don't have to repair anything, maintain your lawn, or clean your pool. All of that is done by someone else. It's a convenience.

    And how much do they get back on their tax return? If they have children, they get back more than they paid into SS, Medicare, and Federal withholding. I used TurboTax as an estimator and a single parent with 2 children received almost $9,000 back.
  17. RandomIdoit
    Because they are unskilled? How much do you think they get paid to pick produce? Minimum wage. Who thinks they can support a family on that? No one. People think they SHOULD but that doesn't mean they can. Health and education is important and it is wise to invest in our children. The health and educational programs in the US are lacking, so we should add even more people for them to support?
  18. RandomIdoit
    This is a good argument. However, what does the US do after they allow unskilled immigrants in and then they start having children? They will need medical care, food stamps, and housing. So now we have people to fill those jobs, but we have to support them if they have children because they are unskilled and they are paid accordingly.

    Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society: Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32) Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34) This sounds pretty reasonable to me. I agree thay we should be better than these other contries, but allowing everyone in who seeks asylum is not the way. Unfortunately a lot of people think the US should just let in anyone. I like the proposed point system. It ensures that the ones who are more likely to contribute are given priority.
  20. RandomIdoit
    First, why are they not seeking asylum in any of the other countries they pass through on their way to the US? Second, what is wrong with them staying in Mexico while awaiting their court date? Right now Mexico gives them a temporary visas but they sure as hell do not want them to stay there.
  21. RandomIdoit
    Keep them together on the Mexican side of the border until their court date comes up. Also, releasing them into the US and telling them to show up to court a year or two later is ridiculous.

    I wish everyone who was able-bodied and mentally fit that was on government assistance would choose to join the military. They would still be taken care of, but they would earn it. Not just get money for not making wise choices at the expense of those of us who did.
  23. RandomIdoit
    And they net thousands of dollars. Let's use turbotax for an estimate. Single mom, with 2 kids, makes $20k a year, pays $1k in federal withholding. Tax refund of about $8964.

    Why? I didn't want to live like that, but many people do. I worked my way up to manager while I went to school, then finished my electrical engineering degree and landed a great job. So i should pay more money so that they can continue to abuse the system? No thanks. I play plenty already.

    You do realize 40% of people don't pay anything, right?
