Immigration

I love immigrants. I am one. Supporting legal immigration isn't xenophic, it's compassion. Some have called me a xenophobic racist. I love immigrants, am one (1st, 2nd and 3rd generation immigrant), my friends, coworkers, students, teachers and partners have been as well. But all immigrants are not equal, and a nation without borders is no longer a functioning nation. Those that want to eliminate the border, also want to eliminate America. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2017-05-19

I love immigrants. I am one. Well, 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation immigrant. (Iranian Dad on one side, Italian Grandma and German Great Grandparents on the other), raised mostly by a British Step-Dad. Many of my friends (now and growing up) and coworkers today (and historically) have been immigrants as well. I've dated immigrants, I taught immigrants, and I hang with immigrants. I love variants in culture, language, food, and people. So if you think I'm against immigrants, you're a moron.That being said, if you think all immigrants are equal, and we should have open borders, your reading comprehension needs work. (I say that because lots of people will read the following, and then claim I'm anti-immigrant.

Immigration (or) Illegals • [18 items]

2015.07.01 Shooting of Kate Steinle
Francisco Sanchez was arrested dozens of times, convicted of 7 felonies, deported 5 times, but SF kept letting him go, and wouldn't help ICE (despite multiple requests). Finally, he stole a gun from U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger's car, and shot and killed Kathryn "Kate" Steinle on the pier by “accident". Then they let him go on murder/manslaughter charges again.

2018.07.02 Fake Immigration Story
WaPo used flawed analysis to count only half of immigrants, and conclude that Trump's policies are suppressing Muslims. Only the rest of the data changes the story. The problem isn't just that WaPo is bad at math/logic, it's that they haven't retracted and apologized.

2018.07.27 ICE detainee with Schozophrenia
Far-left Intercept has an article about an ICE detainee with Schozophrenia that complains about his suicide in custody. Misses the bigger point of whether the U.S. should have to be the worlds mental institution. They were offended that Trump complained that some of these folks aren't the best and brightest that Mexico has to offer.

2019.02.17 Illegal shoots at cop

Napa lady officer came up on a car, in a rural road, late at night. The video shows how explosively fast things can deteriorate - Javier Hernandez Morales (the repeat felon) shoots and misses, the officer (Riley Jarecki) mag dumps (15 shots) and kills him. Turns out, Javier was deported three times and arrested and released four additional times over ICE's objections. This whole mess was a consequence of California's Sanctuary State policy.

2019.05.09 Raping dog to death
What does Sanctuary City/State laws mean? It means a guy that rapes his fiancee’s dog to death is set free, rather than letting ICE deport him. (Oregon). Animal cruelty is nothing compared to political posing and virtue signaling.

ACLU Files and loses Lawsuit over Border-Wall
The ACLU played far left hitman for the DNC by suing (and losing) over Trump's Border-Wall National Emergency. They didn't care about the last 58 National Emergencies, including Executive Order 9066: the Japanese Internment. But defending our border under Trump? That they'll fight, unlike when Obama, Clinton, Carter, Johnson, JFK, Truman, FDR did the same.

Alabama Murderer is Illegal Alien
=Illegal Immigrant, Jose Paulino Pascual Reyes murdered and dismemebered his girlfriend Sandra Vazquez Ceja, 29, and her 14-year-old son in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. Despite having been deported, he came back using Obama/Biden's open borders policy to get in.

Biden Immigration Crisis
When Joe took office, we had 15K illegal crossings per month, he peaked over 260K per month due to his policies. He repeatedly obstructed enforcement of the border, tore down "the wall" and blocked more getting built, while his allies ran campaigns to promote free healthcare and benefits if they illegally came to America. Then they lie and say the crisis is R's fault.

Birthright Citizenship
The 14th amendment did not give people birthright citizenship, progressives imagined it it to undermine America. The author (Jacob Howard) wrote, "[The 14th amendment] will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States."

Cagegate
Does America abuse illegal immigrants? (Kids in cages, etc). Obviously, not enough, or there would be far fewer illegal immigrants. They're far more looped into the risks than the average Joe. The facts are this is rare, temporary, and has been done forever (Obama, Clinton administrations), it is part of being a refugee anywhere in the world.

Canadian Immigration
Canada has a lot more immigration restrictions than the U.S. does. This is critical to remember whenever someone (especially Canadians) are criticizing us for our immigration policies. Canadians or leftist Americans (and their Press) may be ignorant, or have double standards, but we should recognize that hypocrisy for what it is.

History of Immigration
The immigration fight is bitter because in 1986 Dems traded amnesty for a border fence/security, then broke their promise, then sabotaged efforts to have real immigration reform or border security ever since. They get votes by obstructing immigration reform and keeping illegals second class citizens, then use their suffering as an excuse why we need to vote for them to fix it.

How many Illegal Immigrants
How many illegal immigrants are there? The best estimate is the MIT study that conclude 22.1M (the mean between 16.7M and 28M circa 2016). The 11.3 used by the left to minimize the problem is based on some rather faulty assumptions about inflows and outflows. Highly conservative estimates is that they are costing taxpayers $130B more than they are bringing in.

Illegal Immigrant Problems

When Trump says that Mexico is not sending their best and brightest as illegal immigrants, the left loses their nut. That's racism (shhhh... nevermind that Mexican is not a race, and that he had no complaints about legal immigrants, it's close enough for the left). The bigger question, is it true? Does illegal immigration have costs and consequences or not? (How many examples) Are their averages better or worse than the general population? Since the rational know that the point is valid, and the irrational polemics can't argue the facts, they try to shout down the charge with "RACIST"... otherwise they might have to address the point that there are costs.

Mean Trump kills Jimmy Al-Daoud
Tweets and headlines spin, "Jimmy Al-Daoud", a Chaldean Christian who lived in US since 6 months old and diabetic, was deported to Iraq by ICE in June, where he died on the streets. The facts? Jimmy was schizophrenic, repeat violent felon (20+ convictions), and an illegal alien, and the crimes were why he was deported. Following the law signed by Bill Clinton.

Rape Tree
Rape Tree's are not horny trees that molest passers by, it's a real phenomenon where ≈80-90% of female illegal immigrants are forced to do sexual acts or are left for dead. To add insult to sexual assault, they often hang a piece of clothing on a tree, like notching a bedpost (or putting a notch in the Resolute desk, if you're a Clinton or a Kennedy).

The Myth of the White Pedophile
When it comes to kids (including little girls), modern American white male is the least rapey on earth. Latino's and some other minorities? Yeah, not so much. Facts are facts, when you come from a sexist culture that doesn't value lives very highly, especially of females and children, then you're more likely to perpetrate crimes on those females and/or children.

Vegas stabber is Illegal Alien
Yoni Barrios stabbed 2 people to death and 6 others, and was an illegal immigrant, with a record in California. Since California is a sanctuary state, they'd rather people die to guys like this, that report them to INS so they can be prosecuted/deported.

Democracy Participants

A democracy is made up of its voters, and the quality of the votes will be a reflection of those voters. So who you let in, will impact your whole country. If you let in a lot of bigots, you will become a country of bigots. That's not magic, it's not xenophobia, it's called logic (or math). That doesn't mean I'm anti-immigrant, or anti-Islamic immigrant. It means that you need to be smart enough to let people in at only the rate your society can absorb and convert them to more of your way of thinking.... or accept the consequences of being more like them. The middle east is tribal infighting bigots (it doesn't have to do with Islam, as much as the middle-eastern sub-culture). That doesn't mean they're all bad, or they don't have great things to teach us, or some great people -- they do. You just need to be careful that when you're letting people in, they aren't all coming from one area, and you need to control the recipe that's in the big melting pot. Salt is good. Too much sale is bad. I'm happy to let in muslims, as long as they are spreading out, adapting (within reason and keeping their own culture and values, while blending with some of ours). But if you let it too many people from any lawless and less educated part of the world (shitholes, as they're sometimes called), then you'll get the obvious consequences: a lot more democrats winning election, and a lot more bigoted and hypocritical double-standards and division. So it's about balance and letting enough in to keep stressing and growing your culture and diversifying... without letting in so many, so fast, that they ruin the recipe and destabilize the nation.

Takers and makers

Because of wealth redistribution, in this society we have takers (those that get more than they contribute) and makers (those that give more than they take). In order to prevent your society from crumbling under the weight of it's own generosity, you need enough of the latter to support the former. We call that economics. If you don't have that, then the immigrants are seen as mooches, and society retaliates against them.

There's also a rate of change that any society tolerates. If you get too many immigrants from one area, into one area, and you get resistance or backlash. So you want tribalistic pooling, but not flooding. Some pooling allows for pocketing and areas that add flavor to your society. Too much, and those sub-communities can become too strong, too isolated, preventing (or slowing) integration and mixing. (And that varies by culture as well). We call that sociology.

So to have a good immigration policy that doesn't have backlash, you need: (a) filtering from different classes (b) at a rate that society can adapt to (c) controls on where they're all going (nice dispersement and integration with society.

How society reacts to immigrants is directly based on those ratios and controls

If it's hard to get here from one country: say India or China. The most common way to get here is via H1-B program or education visa, then guess what? That filter means we're getting the best and the brightest and most motivated. The people you get will likely be the most educated, hardest workers, and from the upper classes of their society. More young and makers. And those sub-cultures will have lower crimes than their homelands (and maybe than we have), and society will generally reflect those positive attributes with a positive view of that culture. "Send more, and bring more Chinese food and Tika Masala".

There will be some tribalistic resentment of "other" (outsider), and ethnic stereotyping on physical traits or speech -- but for the most part, society adapts pretty quickly to "good people that pay their taxes and are a net benefit to society". Especially if like India, they speak the language -- and while they keep some traditions, they also integrate well. And other than occasionally insensitive mocking, for the most part, they integrate and become part of the fabric quickly.

Indian integration into the west coast has been one of the fastest and lowest frictioned in the history of civilization, as far as I can tell. Chinese has been slower, with more barriers, but a lot of that came from both language barriers, and that the first waves were lowest skilled workers (coolies), and it was a different time. (But as later generations pushed for higher education, and have climbed the social strata, it's only gotten better). Thus friction today between the Chinese immigrants and society is pretty low. Other Asians today seem to have benefited from the early Chinese (and lesser Japanese) waves, and other than some initial friction with the deluge of Vietnamese refugees, for the most part, it seems like Asian-American integration is going well.

I’m not saying the H1-B or other programs aren’t abused. Or there aren’t flakes mixed in. All government run programs either start fairly incompetent, or slide into it, after a few decades of incompetence and the wrong incentives. But the ratios of good to bad in these screened immigration programs are higher than the alternative.

Language and cultural barriers can make that harder, but America is the most welcoming country on the planet. That doesn't mean humans aren't tribalistic humans, and that everything is always wonderful. But for the most part, people love different foods and culture (in moderation). And if the rate of change is slow but steady, people learn to cope and get alone.

Just because a little is good, doesn’t mean a lot is better

The other side of all this, is if it's too easy to get here from another country: say visiting from Mexico and just staying, then guess what? That lack of filter and controls means you are getting a few of the motivated workers -- but you're also getting a lot of the least educated, and many that are fleeing their criminal backgrounds or just the criminality of their own corrupt country.

The problem is, if you're getting too many of the poor, criminals, and those that didn't have to work hard enough to get here, then you get too much pooling and creating communities within communities (that are resented by neighboring communities). They came from high crime country, with a strong distrust of policia, so even if they only bring us the average crime and corruption of their community back home, that average is still worse than ours, and thus makes things worse.

Q: So what happens?
A: You get societal resentment, backlash, and real xenophobia or at least distrust, and more open mocking of certain groups. And that causes a polarization and friction, as those groups rightly don't like being treated that way. You get MORE classism/racism/segregation if you exceed the rate of absorption... and that rate of absorption slows based on which classes and educations you're drawing on.

If politicians keep ignoring those ratios (not controlling them), eventually you get open warfare and apartheid (of sorts, like in France or Germany). This is partly what gangs are: marking borders and turf within countries.

This is not caused by racist elements in society, but by bad immigration policies and liberal "open borders" stupidity. The racist elements are at least partly (if not mostly) reflection of those failures.

So the point isn't that I hate Mexicans or latin Americans. I was practically raised by them. (I had two working parents, and live in house keepers that were often from south or central america). And many of them were fleeing bad stuff, and were good people. But if you want them to stand a chance in this country, you can't stack the rules against them by allowing so many in, with so few controls, that the U.S. becomes like the progressive utopias that the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, and much of Europe is becoming. Where too many, from too few groups, and often from the bottom, are giving their cultures/communities bad names and causing backlash and resentments that will take many decades (or more) to get over. All because the ruling elite can't figure out that while immigration is important, it's the filters that make it successful or not.

Why you picking on Mexico?

Mexico has some beautiful places, and great people. I grew up with some very high class Mexican's: ones that had more money than we did, pushed their kids for education, and the latino culture has a lot of family bonds and good values. The problem is they are not the majority of people who are coming here illegally. Mexico also has wider swaths of corruption, criminality and shit-hole slums. The people most likely to leave and come to the U.S. illegally, aren't coming from the best places and with the most resources. Again, it's about balances.

That doesn't mean all Mexicans are anything: (see What is an 'ism?: it's not racial, it's cultural). Even if we assume most Mexicans are very good people, doing what I would do, if I was them (fleeing that shithole socialist corruptocracy, and coming to a land of more opportunities). Government has a responsibility to control immigration.

I don't begrudge them for trying. I begrudge our leadership for not making it easier to get here legally, AND harder to come illegally, and trying to put some filters and controls in place to prevent backlash mentioned above, by controlling upper vs. lower classes, controlling rates, and where they settle. You can swamp our systems and local tolerances -- and that's not their fault, but ours (governments) for not doing better.

And those upper class Mexicans I grew up with, were more classist than I am, and certainly didn't like the flood of unwashed masses bringing gangs and stereotypes (that they got them grouped in with the lowest dregs of their culture

This all applies to muslim immigrants as well, though with a few exceptions (like in Michigan), there's enough diversity of muslims, not coming from any one place, to cause the bigger problems. But if you let in too large of waves of refugees from one place, and you don't filter well, they could easily become more of a problem than any other culture -- partly because of their desires to NOT integrate (having to do with religious segregation as well as cultural). Again, that doesn't mean I don't like Muslims, it means you have to balance how fast they come in, from where, to where, and how fast society can adapt to them (and they can adapt to their new society). If you don't, they get excluded from opportunities, and resent the society for it.

Anti-American

x250px

1. Americans don't hate refugees and migrants. From 1968 until today the U.S. took in about 60% of the entire world's resettled refugees. More than every other country in the world combined.
2. Asylum seekers are welcome to seek asylum legally. That's going to one of our embassies, or visiting on a travel visa and then asking for asylum, or going to our border and saying, "I seek asylum" and starting the process. All those are in play, and we accept about a million immigrants a year. (Something like 33 million in America are immigrants). What many on the right are complaining about is people who illegally hire human traffickers to break the law, and smuggle them illegally into the country and THEN they are arrested. And THEN they have been coached to claim they are seeking asylum. And when the cases are reviewed: between 80-90% of them turn out to be lying (about their backstories, need for asylum, or that they aren't criminals). That's what this is about -- not for being asylum seekers, but for breaking the laws and jumping the line.
3. Asylum is not a human right. It is something that countries can choose to grant or not. I'm for it. But I'm not for pretending words mean something they do not.
4. Remember, it was the Democrats in America that were responsible for Native American slaughters (under Andrew Jackson), who created the Chinese exclusion acts, interned the Japanese, and created the quotas for immigration in the first place. They're also the ones to defend breaking the law by using human traffickers to smuggle yourself illegally. Conservatives say if you come in legally, in a variety of ways, then you're welcome. Since Democrats can't refute history and fact, they try to change the subject and gaslight, claiming "Republicans want to separate families", or "Republicans hate immigration". If Democrats had good arguments, they wouldn't have to lie and distort every point. They would just tell the truth and let the others decide. Since they do the opposite, they must not have very good points.

The Wall • [1 items]

The Wall
The Mexico-American border is the most heavily crossed border in the world (both legally and illegally). It has a long history of the Dems promising to secure it (back to FDR), then undermining it instead. The goal isn't to stop legal immigration, but to control illegal immigration, smuggling, drug/human traffickig, aka things the Dems want.

Conclusion

So:

• I'm for more immigration: especially from the young and educated (the makers).
• I'm for more filtering, and being quick to filter out and remove the criminal elements.
• I'm for the dispersement and diversification (with some pooling), to help society adapt, and not create a tiered and segregated system.

Because that will reduce backlash, fits economic realities, and will guarantee that we continue to remain a welcoming and open culture. While opening too much (and losing balance) will do the opposite.

But to do any of that, we first need to accept that:

• you do not have a "right" to come here, we will let you come here, because we want to share our prosperity
• countries have a right to limit immigration and protect the rights/property of the people already here
• open borders are a brain-dead back fucking idea

And that once we're past denying those realities, we're just negotiating the rate of immigration, and how we will filter -- without screaming racism. Either that, or we can stay in denial until the idiots get what they want, and we're more like the open friction and racism that is prevalent in Europe.

If this makes you a citizen, then this makes you family.

Here's a thought: If you don't want to get separated from your family when you cross the border illegally... don't cross illegally.

I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to come to jail with me if I broke the law. She said no. I told her they would separate us, and she said, "don't break the law dumbass". Wise beyond her years.

Remember when Democrats deported kids at gunpoint?

I like my guns like I like my immigrants: undocumented!

Mexican word of the day, "Climate". As in, "I'm going to build a wall so high, that illegals can't Climate."

My first prison camp... by Fisher Price

Drug dealers are just undocumented pharmacists.

If you can get arrested for hunting and fishing without a license, but not for entering the country illegally, you might live in a country run by idiots (or Democrats).
