I am tired of the right win trying to disguise its racism with this phony issue that they prop up with constant lies:

"Political candidates often falsely link undocumented people to crime in the United States. Yet an extensive study of crimes in all 50 states and Washington, DC, from 1990 to 2014, found that undocumented immigration does not increase violent crime. A study of arrests in Texas found that, relative to undocumented people, U. S.-born citizens are more than twice as likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and more than four times more likely to be arrested for property crimes. Another study in Texas found that the criminal conviction rate for undocumented immigrants was 45 percent below that of native-born Texans. Immigrants of any legal status are typically found to be less involved in violence than native-born Americans."

Evidence clearly shows that, over the past two decades, most immigrants have shown up for the immigration court hearings that determine whether they have legal standing to remain in the United States. They do not slip into the country and disappear, as some political leaders claim. In fact, those who attend immigration court outside detention, on what are known as “non-detained” dockets, almost always continue to appear for their hearings when they are able to secure legal representation. There is no need to confine people in costly and inhumane immigration prisons.

One in six people in the United States workforce are immigrants. In fact, immigrants participate in the labor force at a higher rate than the U. S.-born population. Immigrants are also more likely to start businesses than native-born U. S. citizens. Furthermore, millions of people in the United States are employed by immigrant-founded and immigrant-owned companies.

The majority of the public believes that immigration brings benefits to the United States, including economic growth and enriching culture and values. Nearly three-quarters of people polled said that people immigrate to the United States for jobs and to improve their lives, and more than half say that the ability to immigrate is a “human right.” Multiple polls show that the majority of people in the United States support protections for people who are trying to escape persecution and torture in their homelands. According to one Pew Research Center poll, 72 percent believe that accepting civilians trying to escape war and violence should be an important goal of U. S. immigration policy.

The United States has much work ahead to reform its dysfunctional and often cruel immigration system. This November, and beyond, voters need to reject lies that demonize immigrants and demand policies that treat each person with dignity and fairness, no matter where they were born.

Literally nobody does. Anything you heads or try to say to the contrary is a wild mischaracterization. This is about adjudicating asylum cases and being a humanitarian bastion of the world…. which is a good intention and a good thing. If you think there’s just some wide open gate and everyone just bum rushes America, you need better information sources.

Also, in cases of deportations, it’s not the deportation itself, it’s the lack of dignity and respect it’s carried out with. Just because you determine someone has no legal cause to be here, over an invisible, human-imagined line that has no actual bearing on nature (which always supersedes any human interest, no exceptions…. we answer to nature, not vice versa), doesn’t mean they should be treated like animals. HOW you detain and deport people, and just the general attitude you do it with, matters, A LOT.

Policies on immigration, including borders, vary widely based on political, economic, and social perspectives. Open borders with unlimited immigration raise complex questions about security, resources, and social systems. Effective immigration policies often seek a balance between humanitarian concerns and maintaining economic and social stability.

if you don't understand why there's countries and why there's legal and illegal

jshm2 · Answer

There is no such thing as "open borders" it's like saying "cold fire". You either have a competently manned border, or you don't. The USA doesn't.

Hence why people automatically lose the argument when they claim "open borders".

As for immigration. Only a court of law decides on who is legal or illegal. No country can have "unlimited" anything, let alone immigration.

Therefore your question is moot, and you're making no sense on either front. Adopting a family too is only possible through the legal apparatus. You cannot adopt a kid without jumping through hoops, but think you can magically adopt a family?

How many heads you got, kiddo?

I do not however I do belive that current immigration laws need to be massively reformed not for the sake of the united states but for the sake of all the people who are desperate the people who are trying to escape. I really think it might be benifical to have like an island or some part of the us territory dedicated to housing applicants for immigration that way they can wait somewhere safe while they are are waiting on application acceptence without the worry of problems at home that might make them wish to immigrate to the us

Syntosi · Answer

Yepp. Sounds like an infinite money glitch if you ask me. More people = More workforce = More productivity = Bigger economy. If i was the government I would try anything to rope in more people short of actually sending out the military to abduct people in nearby countries.

RavVid · Answer

For my country NO.

Our Labor Party is dominated by the Left wing which does seem to like open borders. Globally the Left seems to want open borders just as much as they want pronouns and call everybody, who like borders to be borders, far right extremists.

They have been voted out of office often enough they are starting to get that voters like borders to be borders. The Left has to be smashed a lot though before they start to get it. though.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

The difference between ''legal'' and ''illegal'' is paperwork only.

The REAL ''illegals'' are those EMPLOYERS who bypass paperwork for their own advantage.

As for ''my'' own countrymates:

Many of them are useless. ...

WHO let's THEM stay, and favour them over others who perform?

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I support open boarders for tourism, but not for crime committing and illegal migration. If they were open though then the migration wouldn't be illegal
