By “well regulated” I thought the joke to the second amendment and 400 million guns would be obvious enough. Well, not so, and not funny. Of course accepting 400 million immigrants was not serious.
SL, I fully agree there has not been a society that welcomed all comers. To be more precise, our society could very well handle considerably more. And, secondly, this inborn hate for the other has been tamped down, superficially, in only a few places for some time. It is running rampant everywhere now. It hardly makes the world a better place. It leads to much cruelty. That all this is justified by sovereignty gives sovereignty a bad name.
Given climate change, and expanded knowledge in poor societies that they may have options, will greatly increase migrant flow over the coming decades. We have to learn to be better at facing this and dealing with it in a helpful way. It’s a global issue but we have to clearly lead by example. Our most recent example material seems to have shown others how to optimize the hate.
Bullneck, Biff, I’m not new here, I’ve been on these boards since 1996 and Austin360. Just back after some personal time. A new handle was required, sadly. Thanks for the reminder of the immigration thread.
Cactus, thanks for that video.
