Wake the fuck up. We were this close to total catastrophe just a few days ago, due primarily to demographic transformation. Now is the time to be kicking as many foreigners out as possible, by hook or by crook if necessary. Deport them if they're illegals. Cancel their visas if they're here on a temporary basis but on a track to permanent status and eventual citizenship/voting. Pay the ones who have green cards already to relinquish them and GTFO whence they came. We may not be able to avert eventual minority status and the inevitable oppression that will follow once that status is reached, but we can at least try and delay it as long as possible.
But for fucks sake don't make it easier for them to get in here. When the Johnny Come Lately 's vote themselves your house, your paycheck, and your wife, are you really gonna be relieved that at least they put themselves in that position "legally?"
WTF?? I myself used to be an immigrant and came to the United States as it was a beacon of freedom and opportunity. I did everything by the book, went through the immigration process, hired attorneys, paid a shitload of money, and waited, and waited, and waited. Eventually I got my green card and a few years later I was elated to get the opportunity to become an American citizen. I NEVER took a dime from social services and contributed from day one.
I had been under the impression that we were talking about illegal immigration and not about legal immigration. You guys have no idea how difficult LEGAL immigration actually is. I still have the stack of documents that I had to fill out during my naturalization process - it was extensive. FBI check, health screening including HIV test, financial references, personal references, family records, etc. etc. etc. It's not like I walked across the border and was handed a green card, folks. All in all the entire process took me one decade, and I'm a European which obviously gave me certain cultural/educational advantages.
I am back in Europe now but if I had a choice I would give up my first passport in order to keep my American one, especially now that Trump has taken office. I love America and I want to see it succeed. Although I can understand your anger I would suggest that we don't throw out the baby with the bath water. There is nothing wrong at all with LEGAL CONTROLLED immigration. After all you yourself probably would appreciate being able to legally live and work in other nations at some point in your life.
BTW, I don't have any problem with anyone who abides by the law, works hard, pays taxes, no matter which skin color or origin. In the case of Muslims each applicant would have to prove beyond doubt that they do not believe in Sharia law and that the civil laws of the United States are the superior and only laws permitted in our nation. Any Muslims found to practice Sharia law in any way would face instant deportation.
FWIW I am very disappointed to see his comment being upvoted by several RVF members several of who I had come to appreciate and respect over the past few years. If this forum is turning into the second coming of the Nazi party** however then I may probably just take my leave.
** Apologies - poor choice of words. But I'll let it stand for full disclosure - my point is that we don't want to push into extremes in all the excitement.
