U.S. Immigration

Post Reply New Topic

It is pointless to worry about jobs when talking about immigrants. Legal immigrants are usually legal because they are much better than the average US dude at what they do. (Or because they married a US citizen, in which case they are here to have sex and children with you which is a different issue). If an immigrant is better than you, then he is not taking YOUR job, but someone else's, someone more qualified .

It becomes funny later, because these top tier immigrants end becoming "job generators" like the right loves to call them.

Then we have the illegals. What are illegals going to do? Cut your roses? Clean your bathrooms? You know, all those jobs you DON'T want to do.

And the funniest thing about jobs in the immigration debate is. If you manage to forbid immigrants. You are only creating more encouragement for companies to outsource. Outsourcing is GREAT and much less expensive than paying immigrants. I have not immigrated to the US, and I am already taking big dollars from a US job thanks to outsourcing (kudos to me). That's the irony here. Your silly-ass immigration law that stopped me from getting a tourist visa is not stopping me from taking your jobs.

Err, like seriously, have you heard of MIT? He is not admitted into a random US college, it is MIT. Public College in Canada sounds nice, but MIT is a whole different world.

I think that many Americans have, unfortunately, forgotten the words on the Statue of Liberty:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shores.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

When my great grandparents came to the U.S., they did not have a visa. They arrived in NYC, their names were taken down, and they were let in.

It was possible for your grand parents to be denied entry as well. They didn't let everyone in.

Possible, but rare. Immigration officers were mostly processors. There were no immigration quotas and waiting lists.

Sometimes I wish it was like that today it would be alot easier i think and less need for border patrol.

This was one of the few things I really liked about Newt's campaign.

A comprehensive immigration reform that didn't pander to either the "kick them all out" or "let them all be citizens" groups.

Immigrants with possible t.b. were quarantined at the entry points. If they show positive signs of the disease they were sent back.

Yes, that was a public health consideration. It was nothing like the immigration policies which exist in the U.S. (and in many other countries) today.

MIT gives financial aid to Canadian citizens (source). What is your argument? So, basically, if I am correct, your argument is based on you filling out the wrong paperwork? In your OP you said you could not apply at all.

I don't feel sorry when this page shows less than half of all graduates HAVE debt (averaging less than $19,000 USD at the end). I had $90,000 at the end and paid them off on a twist of fate.

Did you read the financial aid statistics of MIT before you posted? Or their actual website?

no your mistaken, jobs should be there to be provided. you think that people should not have a job to take in. you believe that it's a privilege to work. it's a right not a privilege. i mean sure you have to have a resume ready but it doesn't mean it's a privilege. owes a job? you mean gaining one. not oweing. where do you get your philosphy from? but think what you want. because when the next president comes in, only legal residents can work in u.s. everyone else that stole our jobs illegally are gonna get their butt kicked. cops all over the u.s are finding those people that are here without proof of identity.

I am ethically opposed to slavery. If A's need creates a duty for B to fulfill it, then B is A's part time slave. That only works for dependent children.

I think your saying, if a resturant opens up and the manager needs a server to do the job, then the person gets to have work done for the boss. but not for slavery. your thinking of ww1 and 2 that's been over for 79 years or 100 years. i am not here to argue i am stating my point of today's world.

Turning need into legally enforced duty is enslavement.
