      At a human level, I would be doing the same as them. I hate the heat. I like clean drinking water, and relative safety. I like surviving.

      I can’t really hold a grudge on people doing what they have evolved to do. To put up boarders is futile, and usually counterproductive. We are all people.

      I’m not political scientist, it just doesn’t sit right with me to deny basic shit over origin. My opinion is largely meaningless, I know.

      But I think we have much bigger problems, and the influx of people from climate torn regions will keep increasing. As a country, we used these places to get a leg up, no wonder people want to come here.

          Tbf, there’s already places here that are nearly inhabitable. I’d imagine, overtime, people would naturally fall into what’s more comfortable over time, and we can try to live better lives by not making such a mess of things in the future. Big ask for people. I dont know the answers, I just know what I can live with.

            So what can ‘you live with’? Ruining the standard of living for the 330 million people already here?

              I haven’t personally been negatively affected. In fact, the little experience I have had in my personal life with illegal immigrants has been enriching. I worked with a guy who was just the sweetest man, with 3 kids and a wife. He worked hard and I had love for him. That’s all.

              Illegal immigrants haven’t done anything against you. If anything, they’ve picked a ton of your food on farms and built a lot of your houses and stuff for cheap.

      This is a very juvenile view of the world. You make laws to create the most ideal environment. If someone is here illegally, is it better that they are able to show they can drive, get car insurance, etc or drive without those things and be incentivized to run off if they are in an accident?

            It’s not unjust. You have to draw the line if you’re going to have a functional country. It also drives down wages and allows people to abuse them.

              You’ve got a million places you can go to spread your diseased right-wing views, kill-billy. Why come HERE? Your presence is neither desired nor welcome, and your warped beliefs will not take seed here. Thanks much for holding up a big neon sign reading “Block me now,” though.

                The one that exists in the kill-billy’s mind, of course. The one Tucker Carlson probably put in his 32K brain when bowtie boy wasn’t busy lusting over the green M&M.

        I’d take two billion immigrants over this frothing right-wing nutjob in a heartbeat. The two billion immigrants are far less likely to storm a Wal-Mart with an assault rifle.

      they belong in the country more than you do asshole. Also i must ask, do you enjoy having such lack of critical thought that it allows people to control you with fear and manipulation? aka do you enjoy being a good sheepy doing what your betters tell you to do? feel how they tell you to feel?
