Here's a fact check.Here you go sheckster & chocotide 250k fentanyl deaths 😂 blame the Mexican’s, like Joey or Linda overdosing are not to blame and who’s selling them the drug it ain’t Chico & the man it’s Pauley down the street or Mike in the dorm next door!Even though it was written a while back, to get a clear picture about what goes on there, this is an excellent book. Not an easy read by any means, but really well written and researched by the author right at the source. It's amazing he was able to publish this.You either haven't read Bowden, or don't know much about him or even know who he is, or you're just kidding.I hope it's the latter. If you're not kidding, the offense is on you, not me.Bowden's work was heavy duty, highly engaging, sometimes absolutely brutal, and even at times oddly humorous. He was no slouch. He hung out with the heavies of the cartel drug lords to research and gather information, as well as the people on both sides of the border, the druggies, the average person, and the higher ups in the DEA. He was no bullshit, didn't have a naive bone in his body, and he was a hell of a fine writer.Post edited by brianlux on"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Here's my take on "open border."
No one means it is open by the literal definition. But that we have the most lax immigration laws of any developed country. At formal crossings, yes, they check for documentation and deny entry if you don't have it. But in 99.99% of the border that isn't a formal crossing, it is thinly monitored and once you make it beyond a few miles of the border without getting caught, you're extremely unlikely to be ever sent back while receiving many benefits from the state and country.
It is against the law for a school official to even ask a student their legal status. Illegal immigrants will receive many of the same benefits at a higher rate that citizens. They can get 2 free meals a day, specialized language services, etc.
Here you get compared to Hitler if you want to deport someone who is here illegally. But that happens everywhere else in the world.
Our immigration system is a joke, and that is how I interpret "open borders." And we bend over backwards to accommodate everyone, teachers in many states have to get an ESL (English as a Second Language) endorsement on their credential that they pay for the program on their own and take the classes on their own time or their credential is not renewed and they lose their job.0 -

Also...no one compares anyone to Hitler for wanting to deport illegals. The issue is how are they discovered? Do we just deport them as they are arrested for committing crime? Or do we form teams to seek them out and deport any illegal...even ones who have assimilated and work/contribute to society, etc. And at what cost? Is the cost of such a program more than the cost of dealing with them?

People have been comparing trump and his immigration policies to hitler for 8 years. Claiming they'll be sent off in "box cars" etc. His deportation plan of illegal immigrants has 100% been compared to nazi Germany and their treatment of the Jews.0 -

What I meant by receive the same benefits, is there is very little they are denied based off their legal status. They can qualify for in-state tuition, which is just tax-subsidized college, some state funded financial Ade and scholarships, free k-12 education, anything a school offers is offered to all children. I'm not sure about subsided health care, but they can't be denied in an ER, which leads to an abuse of ER visits over non-emergency illnesses. We offer more to illegal immigrants than any other country I've heard of.
I'm not saying it's all wrong and we should stop immediately, I'm glad we offer a lot of those services. I also think some of it is overboard too.0 -

What some folks seem to miss in this debate is that we’re supposed to be a nation of laws and if you want to fix the immigration problem, you need to change the law. The last time this happened was 1986. Fucking 1986. We had a bipartisan overhaul of the law that would have done a lot of good things ready to be passed until the repubs took their direction from a candidate for POTUS because it was an issue they needed to run on to win. It scares all those folks in fly over country and in the hollers. Bottom line, most of us will have a difficult time without migrants contributing to the economy but the billionaire class will be fine, inflation doesn’t effect them and no one is kicking in their door or raiding their factory floor and arresting their “help.”
So, tell us, what is this opposition to immigration really about? It can’t be ESL classes, or ER visits, nor crime, seeing how native born have higher crime rates. What is it really about?Post edited by Halifax2TheMax on09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

No one means it is open by the literal definition. But that we have the most lax immigration laws of any developed country. At formal crossings, yes, they check for documentation and deny entry if you don't have it. But in 99.99% of the border that isn't a formal crossing, it is thinly monitored and once you make it beyond a few miles of the border without getting caught, you're extremely unlikely to be ever sent back while receiving many benefits from the state and country.
It is against the law for a school official to even ask a student their legal status. Illegal immigrants will receive many of the same benefits at a higher rate that citizens. They can get 2 free meals a day, specialized language services, etc.
Here you get compared to Hitler if you want to deport someone who is here illegally. But that happens everywhere else in the world.
Our immigration system is a joke, and that is how I interpret "open borders." And we bend over backwards to accommodate everyone, teachers in many states have to get an ESL (English as a Second Language) endorsement on their credential that they pay for the program on their own and take the classes on their own time or their credential is not renewed and they lose their job.
What I meant by receive the same benefits, is there is very little they are denied based off their legal status. They can qualify for in-state tuition, which is just tax-subsidized college, some state funded financial Ade and scholarships, free k-12 education, anything a school offers is offered to all children. I'm not sure about subsided health care, but they can't be denied in an ER, which leads to an abuse of ER visits over non-emergency illnesses. We offer more to illegal immigrants than any other country I've heard of.
I'm not saying it's all wrong and we should stop immediately, I'm glad we offer a lot of those services. I also think some of it is overboard too.
a simplistic approach would be for the US to require money from whatever country they are coming from but that is a slippery slope as well
I am aware that there are a number of illegal immigrants from Europe who over stay their visas. Same rules should apply to them and everyone else.
I don't see any data supporting the claim that's where the majority come from, where are you getting that?
I'm not sure what you want me to say about Millannia and I assume Musk? I'm not too familiar with their immigration history other than supposedly they didn't have the right papers at some point back in the 90s. I don't approve of that if that's the case, but I don't think we should go back 30 years and retroactively charge people for immigration crimes far beyond the statute of limitations. There are thousands, if not millions of other people here legally now who were not of legal status when they arrived. I feel the same way about them all. Look at current immigration status, not what happened 30 years ago.0 -

Look at current immigration status, not what happened 30 years ago.it is hard for you to change how this group is referred to? from illegal to undocumented? I put those in the asylum pipeline as undocumented. they followed the law, crossed wherever and promptly turned themselves in as the law stated.visa overstays are different. they enter under legal status for a finite time period. When they choose to not address visa staus and instead "lose themselves" within the country, they are visitors here illegally, perhaps at the point of visa expiration without action to address we can reclassify them as migrants here illegally.those who jump the border are migrants here illegally outside of the legal framework of asylum.have you ever been speeding and not got caught? like well over the limit? you're then an illegal driver by the logic that seems to be at play with migrants....consider a different way of thinking/framing.Post edited by mickeyrat on_____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________
