That's not what's happening. They are coming for welfare and cash jobs. They want to live in capitalism in the #1 country in the world. Millions get turned away yearly. Get in line.

This is exactly what Europe saw with hordes of people not involved in war, but using it as an excuse to be economic "migrants" wanting to freeload off the system in rich countries while not contributing for the greater good.

We wanna talk about refugees in a warzone? Fine, we can have that talk. Do we need to take in any and all refugees? Nope. Not every problem is ours. We have enough of our own issues.

Do I fault people for wanting to leave their chithole country and come here? No. I do not. But we cannot have unrestrained migration. There has to be a limit, and a standard to meet to come here. If we opened up our borders to everyone, we wouldnt have much of a country left.

"...desperate for work."

How aboutworking on your own bloody countrythat will never improve if everyone thinks that the "solution" is dragging their sorry problems elsewhere?
How aboutworking on birth controlso you're not trying to support families that you clearly have no business starting in the first place?!?

Whatisthe ideal situation to sympathizers of these illegal immigrants? That everyone simply ships off to first world nations to leave their homelands barren, veritable parking lots? Perhaps we could make giant, national communes for all of the no-borders advocates - give it a bit and we might even have our own mini-Tatooine hive of scum and villainy oncethatmindset goes pear shaped.

Y'know, there won't be any "culture" left if no one is actually still in those countries; they'll at best (which is technicallyworstfor a functioning society) reside on the outskirts in isolated communities. The funny thing is that an isolated, cultural island will generally fare far worse than a diverse one composed of various cultures that integrated together. However, that latter scenario is far less likely when the immigrants in question have little to no vested interest in assimilating into another country, but rather, merely seeking work. And really, that's always been the deal with immigration in general: either accept the new nation, its customs, and yes, language through successful integration and participation, or apply for a sodding Visa. There has to be give and take, as all nations are built upon their citizens who are willing to be a part of a society rather than only leech from it through their opportunistic, fleeting desires - not the equivalent to temp workers (and nomadic vagrants if they can't even find work in the first place).

North America isn't everything South of the border's collective welfare state to hop on over to when the not only people fail to improve their homelands, but show absolutelyno interestin doing so. Historically speaking, the excuse islaughablewhen religious persecution, legitimate starvation, fascism and tyranny have all spurned immigrants to abandon their entire livelihoods for a new life in the United States, but these people feel they are entitled to the point where they can simply break another country's laws and cutting in front of those who seek entry through official channels because they want jobs.

Sorry, but they can try that pity parade again when (1) unemployment is at a resoundingzero percent, or atleast(2) they have the common decency to follow the proper procedure to enter the countrylegally. While the first is facetious, the latter is the most basic expectation that willing immigrants at least have an ounce of respect for the country and its laws they wish to make their new home. The United States has grown since its earliest days to become an expanding melting pot, but we first have to examine the metaphor itself, which is how immigrants of differing origins melted together to form a new identity that involves them in this greater whole. What isnota melting pot is someone deciding to secretly dump a ton of frozen meat and veg into the mix - the temperature is off because they couldn't bother to thaw them out, everything is off temperature, and now you've just ruined the stew for everyone, hope you're proud.
Spoiler!
I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed - But I'm not afraid to die

i do mean your country. what difference does that make? i mean your country, whichever country that is.

easy to say youd fight for it. even if you did, that might be a retarded thing to do at the time if you want to save your fam/kids/whatever.

i do believe diversity bring cultural richness (and perhaps monetary richness).

not sure what he means by open border though. i think illegal immigration is an issue for the US (although pretty far down my list of priorities of problems to solve)

Giving him way too much credit; just a dork trolling with a mixture of true feelings and over-the-top statements to get a reaction.

Where are you even from? This is an aggressive invasion, plain and simple. These people can sure try to make it through, but if such a mob were to begin causing harm, which they already have done then they deserve whatever comes their way.

Mexico shouldn't buckle to the PC pressure of letting them in. I'll be goddamned if these people make it into my country. Good luck forcefully attacking the great statea of Texas and Arizona when they're some of the most heavily armed states in the union.

We cannot allow this behavior. We must not allow pathetic, bleeding hearts to dictate that this is normal.

an aggressive invasion is when germany invaded france with tanks and soldiers. invasion is a wartime term. i think your use of the term invasion is factually inaccurate, hyperbolic, blatantly dishonest word-garbage designed specifically to inflame and appeal to emotion instead of making a coherent argument.

this is not an invasion. this is not a war. they're not an army. they're not trying to take over the country or overthrow it. stop panicking and stop letting yourself be ruled by fear.

i was born, raised, and currently reside in california.

lmfao, shocking

edit: here
Definition of invasion
1
: an act of invading
especially : incursion of an army for conquest or plunder
2
: the incoming or spread of something usually hurtful

These 4k people fit BOTH definitions, and that's assuming there are no ISIS or general criminals among their ranks.

You didn't answer wher you were from. I doubt you are from a country worth protecting

There's no way that 4,000 peaceful migrants just tore down a border and illegally crossed into a foreign nation. Stop being naive and thinking that these people are all good. There's no doubt that some of them are peaceful and searching asylum, but there's no way to know who is who.

I'd rather lock up our borders and keep us out of danger and have some 'good' people left out than allow the filth that is undoubtedly mixed in there. I am a legal citizen who migrated the right way. These others get no sympathy from me.

for reference, this is a textbook example of an appeal to definition argument (posts dictionary meaning of term, uses it to make point).

its a logical fallacy broseph

i did answer where im from. im from california and was born a US citizen. or are people not from where they're born? is that what you're saying?

im white btw if youre implying (like a racist kuntbag) that my RACE and ETHNICITY is from some minority country, like mexico or guatemala, or some other place you undoubtedly hate. im scottish/irish.

you're so obviously ignorant and hate-filled. my guess is your life fukking sucks ass, so you project onto others (like minorities) like a sad, nervous sheep who knows deep down that he's full of ****.

where are YOU from, since apparently nobody can be "from" america.

I make more money than you, I guarantee it. I'm a bigger man than you, I guarantee. I've been married almost 10 years to my high school sweetheart.

You don't even have an Avi on a fukkin bodybuilding forum. I'm not hate filled, idiot, I'm a legal immigrant born in Mexico and raised in the US. I've visited Mexico multiple times and stayed plenty long there. I am fully bilingual and understand both cultures.

You are a virtue singaling failure. If I were a white man who was American born I would consider you a traitor and a coward. As a man in general you are a cuck. Fight for your nation, have pride in your race without being racist and don't automatically lean towards the open borders thing.

Nice usage of the word sheep too. So original and edgy you stupid piece of chit.

Edit: LMAO you can't even use the proper homonym of 'you're.' Tell tale sign of grammatical ignorance or emotional rant.

ok great im an attorney in the bay area with a 185k salary + bonus at age 33. if you make more than me, im happy for you. nobody cares what you or i earn, and it has nothing to do with what we're talking about. you're a large man? cool. happily married at age 20? well done. none of that makes your point more valid.

that's not what a homonym is, but yeah i used the wrong your/youre

im amazed that you were born in mexico and believe some countries "arent worth defending." what countries would those be?

i have no doubt you would view someone who doesnt share your beliefs as a traitor and a coward. we all have our opinions. i think ol bone spurs is a traitor and a coward. that's my opinion.
