Every country enforces their boarders. Why can't we?Go Beavers said:Also what's interesting is the commonly accepted notion the illegal immigration is a problem, but only based on the fact that it's against the law. If I want the government to make it a priority to do something, I want the problem to be clearly defined. In this case, what "problems" do illegals create? What's the financial loss vs. econimic gain by having them here? I haven't been able to find it, and when I've asked in here, someone posted a link citing arrests of illegals in Texas, and that was it.
All the celebrities talking about moving to Canada. Well guess what, you have to speak English or French to get it, and even then, it is much harder.
You havent seen an impact of immigration? Schools.
Schools are over crowded and underfunded. We have embarassingly low test scores. And where are the lowest performing and most overcrowded schools? Usually areas with high immigration.
I'm not saying immigration is the only problem with school, and if we kick out the Mexicans we'd be at the top. But it is definitely a contributing factor when classrooms built to hold 25 kids now have 45. The focus of teaching is now reaching those who speak little English, nearly every training and professional development isnt about how to make the kids excell, but how to teach those with limited English. When kids get thrown into the 8th grade because of their age, but they have a 3rd grade education because of where they came from.
I'm not saying kicking them out is the answer, but anyone who cant see it affects the entire community is blind.
And why/how should we be responsible for others when we are currently failing our own kids? Figure out how to get our education system back on track before we try to be an open book to the world.

According to Wikipedia, Europe is 8.2% of our immigration. So by ignoring Europe, we are still focusing on 92% of the problem.Halifax2TheMax said:mace1229 said:
Why do people keep bringing up Europe? They are such a tiny small fraction of the immigration problem. If you look at the top 10 countries of immigration, none are from Europe. I don't think any of the top 20 are even.josevolution said:

How about ICE making their presence known in Pulaski Park or Bucktown? Why not? Being all about "law and order" and all.
Why is there a need to deny that the immigration exists from a few select countries? Mexico and Central America account for the vast majority of our legal and illegal immigration, so why would we focus on Europe?
You wouldnt suggest a solution to the gun problem is to outlaw a single-action 6 shooter would you? No, because thats like 0.1% of the crime.
Why only focus on half the problem?
Makes total sense to me to focus on the biggest factors first. Mexico and Central America make up most of the illegal immigration, so we should focus on that first. Try one solution at a time, we cant solve it all at once.
I noticed that when you referred to Europe, you stated "immigration." Yet, when you referred to Mexico and Central America, you stated "illegal immigration." Are there no illegal immigrants from Europe and conversely, is there no immigration from Central and South America, assuming "immigration" is the legal kind?High school graduation rates:

While true that immigrants start off slow when attending public school, they quickly catch up and excel. Basically performing as well as native born. DACA applicants stats are well above the averages in employment, education attainment and not committing crime. They have to be or they lose their status.

The question is about motives. Is smoking weed a problem? No. So the problem is that we have a law, so it must be enforced. But what problem is the law combating? What problems are immigration laws combating?tbergs said:
Yes. Why do we have a law if it isn't going to be monitored and enforced? Seems like a silly question.Go Beavers said:Weeds illegal in a lot of places. If that law isn't enforced, is that a problem?0 -

Why is asking for clarification of terminology being used ridiculous? How am I twisting words? Mace made two different references to the same issue. What's really ridiculous is your inability to see that race factors into almost everything, from immigration to law enforcement and sentencing to consumer loans, housing, education, healthcare, environmental policy, etc, etc. etc. and that you get butt hurt when I point that out. The thread title is DACA, not immigration in general but I'm happy to discuss both.

so why didn't any of these people become u.s. citizens?I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

Probably because DACA doesn't give any path to citizenship; it only allows the individual to legally work and to not be a high priority for deportation. Otherwise, they essentially aren't eligible for citizenship, unless they either take another route, like marrying a citizen, or leave and apply to immigrate, and what are the odds of that being successful?mcgruff10 said:so why didn't any of these people become u.s. citizens?

In other countries it's mandatory to join the military. Implement that into acquiring citizenship.Naturalization Through Military Service: Fact SheetSpecial provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) authorize U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to expedite the application and naturalization process for current members of the U.S. armed forces and veterans. Generally, qualifying military service includes service with one of the following: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and National Guard. In addition, spouses of members of the U.S. armed forces who are or will be deployed may be eligible for expedited naturalization. Other provisions of the law also allow certain spouses to complete the naturalization process abroad.0 -
They need to work on this a little more. Hardly any naturalization where there isn't a US base. There was only 1 from Mexico.Bentleyspop said:
