Can we stop talking about friggin' immigration?
Just for a little while? Please? All it does is bring out the ugly, and I'm finding it very depressing.

Consider the source, blue.

That's what I do with about 2/3 of the threads here. Works like a charm.

There are plenty of threads I don't care for. Don't like 'em, don't read 'em.
Referring to me? Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.

I didn't see it anything either. Will I be offended? Is it one of those "all the immigrants are taking our jobs" thing? "make it harder for them"? the sort where people then realize that I'm one and generally say "oh no we don't mean you... just all the others that aren't quite so much like us"?
or is it an all-encompassing one. do I get equal discrimination? ![]() ignore it. ignore the whole forum, it's easy to do. Or for fun, dip in occassionaly and then refuse the demands for the justification of your POV like cicero does, or wait about 3 years before you go back to see what effect it had, like I do ![]()

To be fair, how many people do you hear actually say they are against immigrants? I'm in Arizona and I don't even hear that here. I hear an awful lot of people complaining about illegal immigrants, but that is different.

Exactly lookout. I have no problem increasing the amount of legal immigrants we allow in, but I get really upset about ILLEGALs. I know people who have been affected because of it. (jobs, you know?)

The idea that it's only about illegal immigrants is a little disingenuous. If the only concern is about following the law, then where are all the threads against smoking pot, pirating music, breaking traffic laws, etc.?
There are other reasons that the immigrant/illegal immigrant debates are so hot. It's not about people breaking the law. It's about us versus them. |
