Religion Immigration! How much is enough?

[MarAzul]

What Maris said was offensive.

You say you were offended. I was not.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You say you were offended. I was not.

Cool.

 

[MarAzul]

Cool.

Yes, I think it is Cool.
And that brings us to the point of the thread. When does immigration become a thorn rather than a rose? My father immigrated when we were still under populated, probably
around 110 million American. Your father immigrated when we were still under populated, what 160 million Americans? We are nearing if not surpassing the ideal population for the country we have. What is that point? That is the salient question. And Maris is Spot on! As we fail to identify the reality, we enabling other countries to ignore their own actions or lack of action. Discussions of such should not be taken as insults.

One hundred years from now, someone whose father arrived in 2018 will be saying 'my father immigrated when we were still underpopulated, only 350M. But now we have too many people, and so I don't want any damn Norwegians coming in over the border'.

I've asked you multiple times to stop insulting my family. It's offensive. To imply that my father is lazy and leech is fucking ridiculous.

Sorry, my asian accent slips through sometimes when I'm posting.

I meant to say your Dad was racy and rich .

 

[MARIS61]

Sort of like saying we shouldn't let blacks eat at the lunch counter at Woolworth's because there aren't enough stools.

Again you divert by introducing race.

More like America isn't the world's lunch counter.

 

[MARIS61]

It's rude, not factual and insulting. Saying that is not looking for trouble.

You continually call me a racist.

I see no American Husky in your lineage so you're not what we would (inaccurately) call an indigenous American.

But you are a Native American, since you were born here.

Probably a mutt, like most of us.

In my industry a huge percentage of the best employees are Mexicans. It’s partially the field I’m in and partially the area I’m in but the industry would fall apart without them. I work in a Wine Lab and about 1/4 of the other employees are Hispanic. In Wine production that probably goes up to 1/2 and in the Vineyards it’s got to be 9/10.

And they are wonderful people to befriend. How much is enough? I’ll let you know when we get close.

I’m not for open boarders but I would love to see some more partnership with Mexico so they could come much more easily,

Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming...pretty much empty. Let peeps in but send them there till they naturalize.

i mean shit, New Mexico is on the fucking border and it is super sparsely populated.

how much is too much? not sure, but we aint even close.

But immigrants aren't going to those sparsely populated places. That's the whole problem. People are going where there's jobs, and that's the major city centers.

That’s not totally true. Many small towns are agricultural towns and have a pretty high percentage of immigrants. I’d venture to bet there’s a higher percentage of immigrants in Walla Walla (an AG town) than in Seattle (population center).

Basic income is coming. We're totally full, space or not.

Not empty at all, just mostly Federal land belonging to all US Citizens.

It's not like there's any more development-type land there to build them free cities to live in.

WTF is wrong with your backyard? How many illegals have you stepped up and housed permanently?

Learn your country, then post.

 

[MARIS61]

But illegals aren't going to those sparsely populated places, because they really don't want to work. That's the whole problem. Illegals are going where there's free benefits and subsidized living for illegals, and that's the major city centers.

Fify.
