U can't say someone should be illegal because meh illegal Again If a person from Mexico can be given a ss# ( taxes etc) and we did a quick background check Why would you not let them in? That is a reason. The only reason anything is illegal is because it is against the law. That is what "illegal" means, you !@#$ing dumbass. And the legal precedent for the past 400 years was set by the Peace of Westphalia, which defined the idea of sovereign states. And part of that definition - the very bedrock, in fact - is the principle that sovereign states have the right and ability to enforce their own borders how they see fit. So again...you're doing nothing more than argue against the legal concept of "sovereign state," which would be "acceptably" stupid if you were open and honest about it. But instead you're using completely inapplicable analogies that demonstrate you have no !@#$ing idea what even your own position on the subject is, let alone anyone else's. That takes you from "acceptably" stupid to "Holy ****, I didn't even know it was possible for anyone to be this ignorant." Which is why you get nothing but mockery here. You're not even trying to discuss anything, you're just a brain-damaged little monkey !@#$ing around on a computer keyboard. Now stop your !@#$ery, go back to the infinite monkey pool, and send us the one that's writing Shakespeare, goddammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person. Is. Illegal. Because. They . Are . Illegal. And wrong again Tom, laws are not laws by fiat lol. A law isn't just meh a law, ( there's a thing called a reason or justification) - this is why we have a thing called court..... ????? Wtf are u smoking Now Nobody is arguing ( Tom) against the sovereignty of a nation state.................................... A state can if it wants not let ppl over 6 ft in, or men in etc. Nobody is questioning that ability to enforce the border IM ASKING WHY?????? do u get it now? Again answer the question or u r simply retarded or a TROLL... A person from Mexico wants to come here, why won't u let them?

You are arguing against the sovereignty of a nation state by saying that the state shouldn't disallow people from coming into their country simply because they don't want them. Borders and barriers to citizenship are two of the most important distinctions of a nation state. Its sovereignty hangs on both being strong.

You're proving my point that this whole legal/ illegal talk is code racism. The real truth is people don't want more Spanish Brown ppl in their land.

If barriers and borders are most important for a sovereign state, then obviously you would make them legal, correct? They want to be here and you give them a ss for tax reasons Right? You need to come up with a reason U can't say, " they can't come in because well mehh, I decided they can't come in "lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexico, for example, is overwhelmingly Catholic. Canada, as another example, does not have guarantees of free speech or religion, and the Canadian people seem largely ok with this. I am not Catholic, and I enjoy the Constitutional protections my rights are afforded by the First Amendment. I would oppose millions of people from either country being allowed to come here and vote without any sort of barrier simply because people's values influence their voting. In any case, you're creating a false dichotomy; your drunk driving analogy falls flat when you realize that in order for it to work, immigration on its own must be illegal. This is not the case. There are avenues from people all over the world from hundreds of countries to immigrate to the United States. 28 minutes ago, westerndecline said: If barriers and borders are most important for a sovereign state, then obviously you would make them legal, correct?

If barriers and borders are most important for a sovereign state, the state enforces the laws that create barriers to citizenship/permanent status, not just "make them legal." Just "making them legal" makes your barriers and borders irrelevant because you've abandoned your protection of them. And yes, you can say "they can't come in because I decided they can't come in" if you're a sovereign state. Just like I can say that people can't come into my home because I've decided they can't come in. That's the point of sovereignty. I don't need a logical reason, neither does the state. Not all laws are based on hard and fast logic, and neither the Constitution nor the courts say they need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are u saying that liberals from Mexico can't become citizens in the US? This simply goes back to what I've already said, You can't say people are not allowed because wahh I said so. U don't convict ppl in court because you said so. By your logic liberals should have their citizenship revoked. If u can grant it based on political affiliation you can take it away. Of course this is logistically impossible. Ppl can lie. So basically you want to spy on citizens to see their true opinion on unions or taxes lol. U r talking about civil war if things become that divided. Again I'll give you another opportunity If a normal person from Mexico comes to the border Why would you not give them a ss# and background check for citizenship?

It's vital to note, in regards to the desire in some circles for greatly enhanced border security on our Southern border without matching enthusiasm for similar actions to be taken with our neighbor to the North, that you don't put band-aids in places you aren't bleeding.

If you don't like the way the laws are, lobby and vote to change them.
