Obama will push push Executive Order Action on Immigration, thoughts?

Don't wanna derail, but now that I think about it I find it humorous how the left in general is for open borders and deride people who call the mass of people coming across our southern border an invasion, but on Columbus Day and Thanksgiving they get mad about Europeans who came to an uncivilized continent that did have open borders and condemn that as an invasion.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

For those of you who are untroubled by the executive over reach on immigration here, imagine a President Hillary signing feminist edicts. Affirmative consent, "hate speech", etc.
Take care of those titties for me.

I don't like little kids getting shot either, but I'm not ready to repeal the 2nd amendment. I'm not even ready to seize the weapons of people who own firearms that are banned in their particular jurisdictions.
Presidents can and do use executive orders for things I disagree with. In this case, Obama is using an executive order for something I do agree with. It's not clear to me that we are worse off because presidents have (or have seized) this power. It might be unconstitutional, but that doesn't bother me at all. We can point to a lot of shit that was constitutional at one point or another that most people now accept was wrong, e.g. 3/5 compromise, prohibition, yada yada yada.

Lastly, if a private citizen has a right to tell you to get off his land, and a group of private citizens can also stop your trespass, then the duly-constituted government comprising the political will of those same citizens can erect and defend a border.
Did you even read what I wrote? If you did then you clearly didn't understand it. Go back, read it again. Pay close attention to "almost inconceivable" and "most parts of the world".
Do you see where I transitioned from the ideal libertarian system to the practical liberal democratic system we do have? Did you notice where I said I was ok with this system, but thought it could be improved?
You want to talk about mental masturbation? You have a dozen guys on here with sand all up their vaginas about Obama's executive order on immigration. You're all just having a little circle jerk crying about something that you realistically have no power to influence. Something you will take no action on. That's pretty much the definition of mental masturbation. We're both arguing with strangers on the internet. Look in the mirror dude.
Closed borders are part of the current system that I think needs to change. I do not believe there is a natural right to closed or open borders. Borders are inherently communal property and communities decided what laws govern communal property. I think borders should be more open and that we should rewrite the laws to make that so. We had open borders before the early 20th century so this is more than just a mental exercise.

Borders are just community property, so leave the front door of your house open and don't complain when it's ransacked, everything of worth is missing or destroyed, and it's full of squatters with whom you share nothing in common, and you can't ask them to leave because they have an unalienable right to the wealth and standard of living you possess.
Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

Just saw this story and figured people on here would find it interesting. It's a pretty fucked up incentive Obama has created for businesses to discriminate against Americans. Probably many of you know I'm anti-ObamaCare. This shit wouldn't happen in a free market.

I think what's going on in this forum is exactly the mentality of America. Mainly Latino's thinking of their own people even if its at the expense of others. This naturally pisses tons of people off which is why I honestly don't get the point of this thread. It seems to just be an excuse to say "haha Obama is making it so X amount of my people can come even though it pisses all of you lol!" This is further emphasized by the picture of the tissues and stating "president Obama" not Obama but "president." Stating a person's title is a showing of respect which is obviously only being given due to the new circumstances of illegal immigration reform.
What does this say to the people who immigrated here legally? What does this say to the American's who have fought and turned this country into what it is today?
I compare America to Israel. immigrants are trying to come in by the thousands after we built the country from the ground up and fended off invasions. How many Mizrahi and Ashkenazi Jews have given their lives to build that nation?
[b]Where were they when we were fighting wars? After the hard work of building a successful country is done all these people want to immigrate which is a huge slap in the face of the people who have given their lives to build the aforementioned nation.

People need to stop blaming racism because if their ancestors had built a country and paid for it with their blood only to have another people come in and reap what they have sown, they would be upset as well.

You think those same millions would be very happy to join or be drafted into the army? or happy that their paycheck will be lower after taxes? we are talking about people that were working, and getting tax free money, how long before they start to criticize high taxes and government expending?

Whoever that judge is, he is a saint. Honestly, the Republican refusal to do anything on immigration is better than Obama's and the left's idea of taking action. It's a pretty repugnant, thinly-veiled strategy to financially cripple the Southern states by serving them up on a silver platter to the hordes. That's all it comes down to. But I don't expect it to stick. The determination to ruin the country is too great.
What MidWest doesn't understand is First World - Third World dynamics. My dad's gone on business trips in Mexico. He loved the culture and enjoyment of football, the cuisine, the friendliness of the Mexican people, but in the end there's not one city in Mexico that is on the same level as NYC, LA (the non-ethnic/white parts), or even Boston. None were even on the same level as a second-tier city like Portland.
When you DON'T throttle immigration, you go from assimilation and gradual citizenship to reverse-gentrification. This is what is happening to entire cities, like in the case of Santa Anna. If the economic standing of Mexico and the USA were reversed, guys like MidWest would have the same viewpoints as Samseau and scorpion.
There's nothing racial about this, it's just that them's the facts. 50 million Mexican-Americans and 11 million Mexicans live in this country. What I'm saying is kick out the 11 million Mexicans because they're not Americans. No more delaying tactics so they can have kids and emotionally and morally take us hostage. No more bullshit. Ramp up the deportations. We're already drowning in trillions of dollars in debt - let's use a few hundred million to get them out of here. The bottom line is that, even as screwed as we are economically, we can recover if America had the same character it did only three decades ago. That means not voluntarily being invaded by millions of more hispanics.
But the problem is that the left has already won. They played the stalling game, weathered all of the Republican Party's woefully inadequate efforts to stem the tide - now the Latino voting base has been established, and we're done. They've escalated things so that the inevitable correction will be much more heated. Instead of a patient rate of deportation and lockdown of the borders, we'll have violence. And worse, they've subtly but fundamentally poisoned something sacred: the bonds between the Americans on the left and right.
Otherwise, we'd recover, even from another hundred trillion dollars of debt. Carthage recovered from the Roman indemnities in a single generation. They've declared an economic Civil War. The voters in Minnesota will never face the consequences of their actions, it's going to be states like Texas, Arizona, Nevada. Every 'gain' in immigration is another knife across the wrists of the Southern states to weaken their impact on future elections and national politics. The one exception of California is a lost cause anyway, so in their mind it's worth it.
This, more than any other factor, is why America is done for. Even in the most partisan moments of the era, the modern conservative side never sold out their liberal brothers to foreigners. Even the Iraq War engineered by the neocon elite served to tame gas prices and preservation of the petrodollar. But now the left has violated the guest right, and not just the elite liberal class. This is your average American stabbing his brother in the back. And when you stoop that low, our fate is sealed. The Democratic Party will win, but it will be the most tragic Phyrric victory of them all.
