OK I'll engage just once.  The nazis are here.  They've always been here.  They were shamed into the shadows for several decades, but many have become emboldened by the wave of nationalism and lean towards authoritarianism that has swept the the world over the last few years.  If you don't see it, you're not looking or you're a part of it.

They have always been here in very small groups.  A collection of misfits and loons.  That probably will never change.  Fortunately, they represent a fraction of a fraction of a percent. 

Straight up racists, however, represent a much larger percentage of the Republican Party voting base.

What does that matter? I think you are confused as to who thinks this caravan is a big deal. No one is saying all these people deserve asylum, there simply isn't any way to know that. The whole point is that this is a pretty typical occurrence and is not a big deal. Process them and deal with it. Only one group is making this more than it is, and it is the group demonizing a group of people. Odd that you can't see that. 

It matters because ostensibly the story is "these people are seeking asylum." Mexico is offering asylum. If they simply stay in Mexico, everyone wins: the migrants receive the asylum they seek, Mexico receives productive citizens, and the U.S. does not face any risk that there is a bad person entering the country. Feels like a simple solution that meets everyone's needs.

There is nothing in law that obligates a person to seek asylum in any specific country. They may prefer the US and under our laws and treaties, we are required to evaluate that claim. It is true that some countries apply a test whereby they can send a person to a third party country that would grant aslym (although I am not sure the US has that in its law). But even then, the claim must be evaluated on an individual basis. So, let's just do it.

This has always been a topic when facts and logic are not on one's side - appeal to emotion. Why discuss a complex issue in a rational way when you can just make hyperbolic ad homs agains anyone who disagrees with you? Much easier than actually engaging intellectually.

nah, it's posters like yourself that shut down the discussion.

before you showed up, there was a bit of back and forth about the issue.  you know, the actual issue at hand - the caravan, our immigration policy, what is acceptable, and, yes, some talk about how nazi germany transitioned normal germans into those willing to put up with death camps. it's not a short journey. normal citizens don't start loading bodies into ovens. 

however, if you cannot take a look around, at trump's rhetoric, how he demonized people south of our border who are seeking a better life here - that rhetoric alone has a tendency to numb people to what is happening around us.

we have tacitly accepted the separation of families policy. we have a growing tent city of children in west texas guarded by who knows, because who needs to worry about background checks when adults are put in charge of children? 

concerned citizens, looking at what is happening, worry that this path we tread may have a troubling end. and to a certain subset of our population, that's just fine, because they are lawbreaking animals.

you've been banned for trolling before; why don't you actually discuss the issue? don't "but obama" it.

don't pretend this shit is normal. it's all ramped up because of trump, his words, his actions.

immigration policy has been an issue my whole life, and i'm a man this year, i'm 40. why don't we discuss ways to solve it instead of hand waving "oh my god, they are making nazi comparisons." you're goddamned right people are doing that. once again, we won't end up at death camps (i don't believe), but the fact of the matter, the status quo is troubling indeed. the lean to authoritarianism is concerning. it is trump, and trump alone, ordering these policies.

Reasonably people can disagree, but it at least demonstrates the asylum argument is phony. They don't want asylum they want to come to the U.S. Better conversations start with honest and transparent conversations. I suspect part of the reason people do not trust each other politically is because of the disingenuous nature of the spin.

They want asylum in a safe place.  The US is (for now) significantly safer than Mexico.  That's not exactly a shocking conclusion for a person to make.  I know that if I was running from my life from, say, Syria, the fact that I am relatively safer in Iraq doesn't exactly make Iraq a place I want my family to end up if their long-term safety is my goal.

That doesn't render the asylum argument "phony."  It actually bolsters it.

has nothing to do with the liberal media bias at all.  come on.

i would argue that this is not an honest attempt at communicating views about an issue. the giveaway is in your fourth post in the thread there where you shift the goal posts to "Please stop saying it was just the same."

that's one of two things in my mind: trolling to inflame the discussion by moving your position, or dishonesty in argument. 

another big tell is that you don't ever acknowledge that you moved the goal posts, despite consecutive posts pointing out your fallacy. instead you shift to the "liberal media" trope, which is another troll giveaway. you don't address dennison and my both pointing out that it is trump driving the difference in how this issue is viewed.

given your history of spamming the board with stupid insults like "soy boy," i'd also make the argument that you don't have much benefit of the doubt. but i'm going to give it to you for now.

That video is fun, because he tells on himself (like he always does). He says in the second half of his arguments that his opponents cannot deal with his arguments so they try to categorize him out by shoving him to the ideological extreme... OK... but how did Daddy initially characterize his opponents? He dismisses them as far-left extremists.

And at the end, he is OUTRAGED at Hitler being used as a casual comparison ... but 30 seconds earlier he was associating "tens of millions" of deaths under Marxism with his ideological opponents.

He's not a Nazi or anti-Semite. He's an idiot.

So then why bring him up at all in this thread if you weren't calling him Nazi. where he talks about Hitler, where Nazi is being thrown around. Where you say "see if any this resonates with right now." How else am I supposed to take it?

We need a truly democratic immigration system. Each year at tax time give each American family/citizen the chance to “opt in” to sponsor an immigrant. If they opt in they understand that their tax return refund would be used to pay for immigrant welfare or 10% of their income (whichever is greater). We then base the number of Legal immigrants admitted each year by the number of American willing to support it with their own money. 

We might see a surge in Legal immigration numbers (up from 1 million) if we have enough people to “opt in”. Let’s see where Americans truly lie on immigration when it hits close to home and it’s tied to fiscal responsibility instead emanatioal ancticdotes. (But first that number would be subtracted for each new American citizen born to undocumented parents. 

How altruistic are you?

Why not just let the (legal and illegal) immigrants contribute to welfare like they generally already do, by paying taxes on their own income?  The idea that illegal immigrants are overwhelming our welfare costs is simply false.

Great proposal.  Fantastic.

Will your proposal also have a surcharge for all folks who do NOT opt in, to cover the additional costs of goods, rent, and services that they would pay but for immigrant labor?  The extra $2 per half gallon of OJ?  The extra $100 a month in your business lease for the added cost of the cleaning crew?  The extra $15k cost of your home for the added cost of the construction crew?  The extra $2 for your meal for the added cost of the kitchen staff?  That would seem to be a good choice to make.  I mean, if you want to have a REAL picture of the "costs" of immigrants.

[ChickenSandwich 9,797]

From the Congressional Budget Office (using an estimate of 11million illegal immigrants - this number is highly debatable and also estimated as high as 3+ million)

 

• "State and local governments incur costs for providing services to unauthorized immigrants and have limited options for avoiding or minimizing those costs";
• "The amount that state and local governments spend on services for unauthorized immigrants represents a small percentage of the total amount spent by those governments to provide such services to residents in their jurisdictions";
• "The tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to them, the impact is modest, and most do not qualify for them"; and
• "Federal aid programs offer resources to state and local governments that provide services to unauthorized immigrants, but those funds do not fully cover the costs of necessities."
