Should this country have borders?

Curious as to what you lefties think?

Nice

I am hoping for a big dome.

Thoughtful reply Bob. Do you think we should have borders and if so how should they be maintained?

Major fail. Comparing our defeat of the USSR to the border crisis is surreal.

Please explain your ramblings further, they are amusing.

I know this is hard for you, liberals are great with concepts not so good with substance.

Who gets in, who doesn't and how do you separate the groups? Inform me.

This just proves YOU'RE racist, Bob. Because YOU'RE the only one talking about race and treating races differently! WE'RE just asking for a SECURE BORDER, see? Well a secure southern border, but the fact that there's brown people south of us and white people north of us has nothing to do with it. They could be PURPLE for all we care! We just don't want those purple motherfuckers taking our JOBS! like those great jobs cleaning hotels and picking fruit that pay below minimum wage. Those are OUR jobs!! AND this is completely consistent with our other positions because we also support keeping the minimum wage significantly below the poverty level. HA SEE I GOT YOU!!

Race has nothing to do with it.
I am for anyone who can make this country jumping to the head of the line.
Give me a process that' let's in the ambitious and skilled. Keep out the criminals.
Was in Brownsville Tx earlier this year. Unless you are there it is very difficult to understand the chaos.

Crime in illegal immigrant populations is not more prevalent than in any other populations of similar economic standing.

According to the FBI data in 2006, it appears illegals accounted for 15% of all murders will only accounting for 5% of the population...Are you saying that because immigrants end up committing crimes at a similar rate to poor but legal citizens its OK???

That website claims that it is backed up with facts, but hardly cites ANYTHING! It's horrible. It's ridiculously one-sided. Please expect more of scholarly writing. Try an actual academic assessment:

In conclusion, we find that it would be a mistake to assume that immigrants as a group are more prone to crime than other groups, or that they should be viewed with more suspicion than others. Even though immigrant incarceration rates are high in some populations, there is no clear evidence that immigrants commit crimes at higher or lower rates than others.

Camarota, who authored this study, is right wing, btw. And he's a lot less alarmist and a lot smarter than that Dan Amato character you site.
