What makes you better than an illegal migrant?

[OddBeMe]

Luck of birth? Come on…

[lightbulb27]

were all the same.

luck of where born, parents. that's the difference.

you realize I could have been the heir king of a great African nation... if I had different parents?

What you are saying is, we should all be equal... globally... one world order, all equal.

[OddBeMe]

Not equal outright. But equal opportnity. We could easily give trackable green cards to everyone on the southern border and solve this issue tosah. But we won't

[lightbulb27]

you are ok with gang members and former male prisoners coming in and knocking on your moms door asking for work?

[CaptainSmartass]

Because I was born here, therefore I'm legally entitled to be here. I pay tax and National Insurance, and I'm not milking the system.

Simples...

[meepmeeperton]

I'm not a criminal and I have actual generations of family history and attachment to the country I live in?

[msc545]

@meepmeeperton That does not make you any better than anyone else.

[slatyb]

So you are better because you were luckier?

[msc545]

@slatyb Is that question directed to me or the other guy?

[slatyb]

@msc545 The other guy.

[msc545]

@slatyb ok

[meepmeeperton]

@msc545 It’s a better kind of person to have in your country

[meepmeeperton]

@slatyb I’d say I’m lucky to be born American, so what? Should I have earned my spot here or something? That’s not how countries work

[msc545]

Really? What makes you better?

[OddBeMe]

@meepmeeperton Yes thats how it should be. No birth right. You earn it.

[meepmeeperton]

@msc545 Ohh ghee I don't know, let's put our heads together and think about this... what *could* makes someone with heritage in their country--generations of people who have contributed to the economic and cultural development of their nation--"better" than someone with a different homeland, language, culture, etc. who just wants the material conditions of America and will selfishly break America's laws to get them? Why would people want members of their nation to actually respect it and have a similar culture to them? I think, as an American, it's a genius idea to import infinity people who either actively hate me or are totally indifferent to me and everything about my culture and way of life. Because nobody is "better" than anyone else.

[meepmeeperton]

@OddBeMe That has to be your most hair-brained idea yet, and it's funny because you don't even believe it. Liberals always preach about how important birthright is when they see pictures of some crying, obese abuela getting separated from her kids who were born here.

[OddBeMe]

Tell me again how your birthright entitles you the first world comforts...

[meepmeeperton]

@OddBeMe Oh when you put it that way I guess it doesn’t! Let’s just import the third world into our backyard because nobody deserves anything!

[Bricealan]

@msc545 Oh please what kind of stupid criticism is that? "That does not make you any better than anyone else" What planet to you live on mister?

[Bricealan]

@meepmeeperton Good answer, Sir. I don't know what this guy is tying to prove with his stupid argument...

[meepmeeperton]

@Bricealan Thanks man, he's just being as disingenuous as possible. I even saw the OP accuse you of racism just for pointing out that his question is disingenuous from the start. They have no arguments besides asking leading question and going for emotional low-blow attacks.

[Bricealan]

@OddBeMe Oh great, and you would have an idiot gif of one of the biggest idiots on television. Can't even respond to such an obtuse comment with yet another moron stuffing his ugly face. .

[Bricealan]

I hesitate, to answer, because I have no idea of the 'INTENT" of a question like that.

[OddBeMe]

Should it matter if your answer isn't racist? Or you know it is... right.

[Bricealan]

@OddBeMe The sad part of any question like yours , is that you and many others, like you, see an opinion that differs from yours, makes that person a racist by your definition. I'm sure you will get all kinds of people on here to debate you, as that is your intention for posing such an obtuse question. Enjoy

[Sevenpointfive]

i suppose i know things that they don't and high school history

[Juxtapose]

I'm here legally, I am documented, vetted and have a completely clean criminal record.

[msc545]

Like many other people. This does not make you special.

[Juxtapose]

I AM better than an illegal immigrant because I provide stability.

[msc545]

Bullshit. Cheap words meaning nothing.

[Juxtapose]

Illegal immigration causes destabilization and the eventual death of a country.

[msc545]

Really - how and where did that happen?

[meepmeeperton]

@msc545 your only tactic here is to endlessly play dumb and ask asinine questions, pathetic.

[Juxtapose]

@msc545 it would only take a small percentage of the world's needy to completely overwhelm our society. Can't you see that?

[msc545]

So I take it that means you don't need anything?

[Anonymous]

A green card.

[seeyounexttuesday]

I’ve not committed a federal crime.

[exitseven]

I pay taxes.

[OddBeMe]

So do illegals

[exitseven]

They get tax credits. They do not pay anything. Nobody pays taxes on welfare payments.

[OddBeMe]

They get few if any welfare. And they pay Sales Tax

[exitseven]

@OddBeMe Okay I give you that one. They do pay sales tax, especially on booze and cigarettes. Most are getting some form of freebees. The local hotels are full of them.
