    Do you really not understand the benefits of having a stringent immigration policy?

    It keeps people with criminal pasts out. It lets us know who is in our country, so we have an accurate record if people come to our country and commit crime.

    Marlin... Do you ever know when to stop? Because you seem to always want to have the last say in things.

    Yes, nothing. Just delays the threat of everything to the point of all the threats getting in and causing all out chaos.

    Because you would be known as an isolated country to those planning to migrate to the States. This would overly affect anyone coming in or out of the country for the following reason. If people were forced out to move to the states, it would affect population growth, WAIT..... Because when people then start moving out of the states, this would mean as soon as the leave the border they are not allowed to move back. And also don't say to "certain countries", I've heard enough of that BS.

    ...Or like I've mentioned before, to tax them with the bank or automatically taken out of their account.

    Link for that please.

    I think you just answered your own question and you don't see it. Since you keep going on about how lazy America is, it makes them not wanting to do the hard working labour out on the fields. That is where the Mexicans come in, willing to work long painful hours to both help the so called "lazy people" you speak of, as well as their families (either also in America or Mexico). So are you willing to work the long hours in the fields to water and harvest foods? BTW you saying no, makes you one of the "lazy" people, and dodging the question, means you will be willing to let the Mexicans work it.

    I still don't get why you guys called them aliens. What, they are not someone who is possessed or something.

    Want: What people desire to have Need: A necessary to life
    Agreed. But some things that a majority/minority (like internet) are some things I consider is required as a need. Reason: It makes it easier to do stuff like banking, update things to people (bosses about work availability), easily connected to people, and most importantly do WORK (Excel, Word, PowerPoint are all on and don't require internet, UNTIL they need to send it to others).

    Jesus! I didn't realise your government was this violent! To be fair though, they would most likely get fined and forced to pay all unpaid wages if they were caught doing so in Australia. So you would say the government will forced to pay more for wages or lead to.... a violent government?

    And he even explained out "It was hard" living off the wage. They clearly understand the struggle.

    Excuse me, my apologies... and that's that.

    I will take your silence as a understanding and accepting response.

    Just asking, do you know exactly how loans work? Or how rates on credit cards go?

    Well it does, because it will make your country a lot more happier to be part of the country (to be perfectly honest, your country needs it). It would also lower suicide, prescription, and is better for everyone to have this fair amount. I think it is even said that it will boost the economy because the consumer spending will increase and lowers the price on items based on the demand for it.

    See here's the thing when you only (for example) went straight from school to University for a degree, most jobs will require both work experience and degree. That is half of the issue, where's the other?

    What if the teenager was either kicked out of home, all alone and/or an orphan? How can these teenagers survive on that kind of wage?

    What if the woman was raped? Do you think she deserves to have that abortion? Because this ban, would make her force to raise a child with half of its genes being part of a rapist. She is allowed (straight up) to have the abortion, no denies for her right.

    Oh yeah, the only thing you teach your kids, making them that much more clueless when it comes to the real thing of protection and prevention. I still don't understand why America still does this, they are going to have sex anyway.

    The irony.


    Actually, it keeps bad people out. Its not that hard of a concept! If you make sure that people who come into your country are good, only good people come to live in your country!


    I already gave 2 links, it should be on the previous page. Try reading ! !


    Americans would work the hard labour jobs, but the aliens work for way cheaper, so the Americans can't get hired even if they try.


    I don't even understand how you think this is sound reasoning.
    You define need as something thats vital for you to survive.
    Then you say you need internet because it makes things easier.
    it makes things easier.


    if someone commits suicide, its there own individual responsibility to own the action.
    You do not deserve a good life if you don't earn it. I don't care if it would make you or tons of other people happier, you need to earn your success in life through your own hard work and your social connections.


    Then it comes down to personal choice right? If you don't want to be trying to pay off your loans on a minimum wage job, make personal choices that don't lead you to that decision.
    Also, I'm reasonably sure that most entry level jobs still pay more than minimum wage. It probably depends on the degree, but then its your responsibility to choose a degree.


    a·li·en
    ˈālēən/
    adjective
    1. 1.
      belonging to a foreign country or nation.
      noun
    1. 1.
      a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living.
      "an illegal alien"
      synonyms: foreigner, nonnative, immigrant, emigrant, émigré
      "an illegal alien"
    From now on whenever I say alien i'm going to bold it and write it in red.

    You seem to not understand why we have laws. You don't make laws governing everyone based on a minority. Thats why we don't raise the minimum wage for "teenagers abandoned by there families who have autism and were also raped 14 times and also have no legs and can't read".
    If a woman was raped, there should be social programs giving her whatever support she needs to have the child, and compensate her as much as possible for the crimes inflicted upon her. That however doesn't change the morality of killing a baby, its still a baby.

    No, you give your kids sex education and explain to them how to take protective measures to minimize any risks that come with there behavior. It doesn't change that if you don't have sex you have a 0% chance of getting pregnant.

    @MeepLord27 Would you be opposed to a program that made work visas cheaper and easier to obtain? We had a program similar to this back in the 50s and 60s and it cut illegal immigration by 90%.

    Probably. I haven't done any research into this, but it sounds like it would be a good fix. That being said, we still need strong border security.

    We need a secure border but it should also be much easier to legally enter the US. With an easy to obtain work visa, the non violent and productive immigrants would be able to stay and it would make it pointless to enter illegally. This would make it easier for border patrol to keep out the bad people who want to do things like run drugs.

    I'm looking into it atm, and I see a couple issues.
    1. Don't the majority of illegal immigrants come here with visas and then just overstay there visit? Upping the number of visas would just up the number of illegal immigrants wouldn't it? Also, if most of the illegals get here legally, is it really that hard to get a visa? On the state department website it says "the vast majority of visa applications are approved," and that the only way your visa can get denied is if you request the wrong type of visa, if you have a criminal past, or if you don't have your information in order.
    2. I'll link you too the state department page talking about how your visa request can be denied, can you tell me what you would remove? Skimming through it seems like anyone who doesn't meet the valid criteria aren't really the types of people we want in our country anyway. (Ineligibilities and Waivers: Laws)

    . . .


    Are you insane? There is a thing where we can deny people from coming into America and we can also deport them. . . . .


    lol what are you even talking about? If we canceled the immigration policy that means we would just allow anyone and everyone into the country no questions asked, which in the end would hurt our country, badly. also, I was being sarcastic when I said to just cancel it, I would never be okay with that.


    I don't think you are understanding what I am saying. I said we should tax the remittances.......!!!


    What? 21% of the American population get benefits, this isn't even including the illegal aliens.


    I didn't say Americans were lazy, I said most people that live in America that are on welfare are lazy. Also, I would work those long hours however I'm not going to set that as my "goal" I am definitely going to work an office job. Just because you don't work manual labor, doesn't mean you are lazy. Not going to work makes you lazy.


    Do you want me to call them leeches? criminals?


    Again, it is not Americas problem to help you have an easy life. It is not a right to have an easy life, it is a right to have a life. Food is a need, internet is a want.


    I don't feel the American government is violent?


    Being "hard" does not mean its impossible.


    Loan = borrow money = has interest = pay back + interest over a certain amount of time = no debt
    Credit card rate = how much interest you pay and or the max amount of money you can buy on credit
    OR
    You buy it now and pay for it later


    Let me guess... everyone deserves a "participation" trophy?


    I literally haven't seen a job that requires a "degree" and "experience". How do you have experience if you've never gotten a job? typically the degree overrides the experience...?

    A parent can't just kick their child from home unless they are 18 or graduated from high school.
    Orphans get paid by the state....


    I have said abortion is okay if she was raped or is going to die.
    Also, being a rapist isn't a "gene". Rape is not in your DNA lol


    Our children have "the talk" or puberty lesson in 5th grade
    Our children have sex ed class in 8th grade
    Our children learn about the reproductive system and sex and very very good detail on the male and female body in 9th grade.
    Sorry we don't put condoms in bathrooms incase someone wants to pull a quick while on lunch break.


    I would not agree.

    Let me get this straight, you think by making it easier to legally enter into America, it would stop the bad people from coming in?

    Oh yeah, because everyone loves to just sit there with their partner and just talk don't they? Honestly, please name 5 people (who has been in a relationship/s) that has not had sex... Because I'm telling you now, I can't even name 2.

    Clearly this teenager is on disability. That is quite an unusual case. I actually find that near to impossible to ever happen.

    Why does she need to have THIS child? Would you like to be a woman who has to have this child that is related to this rapist? If I had the chose to be aborted or related to him, I'd choose aborted. Because how would it feel to ask your mum "Where's dad?" and you will have to be told the story. I wouldn't want to go through the thought of that (This is my opinion, you have your own, deal with it).

    Cool, way to be a lot more of a stubborn prick. I was just asking though. You could call them refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants.

    Probably, but I don't see it being that easy to find a job after that.

    Okay I don't think you would make a good president/prime minister then.

    Okay, do you have the time to go down on a 20 minute drive to a place and then wait 40 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes to be served at a bank? Because most people don't have the time to do that. They got work, and other things better to do than to stand in line and wait.

    Don't see that ever happening really.

    Yeah Australia (sort of) as a good example. Since we are surrounded by water it makes it only 2 ways to get here, Plane or Boat. Easily check through airports and bordered the waters for another. We kind of struggle with water patrol, but its easier to notice if the boat is a refugee boat or not.

    Of course you'd say no.

    Neither do we. We get them for free anyway.

    I mean, that this child will then be related to a rapist. I didn't say rape is a gene, that is so ridiculous. But at least you'd allow women to terminate a pregnancy under issues of rape.

    Just in case you didn't know, Australia is unaware of this. How am I suppose to know that law from the States?

    They can. If you say otherwise, is there a law that states a child must be with their parents until they are 18?

    ...and sometimes it doesn't though.

    I'd expect your just not looking in the right place though. You should find some if you keep looking.

    Yes you do... who's a good little guy, you are. It's Blue Marlin, everyone give this guy a round of applause! Literally that is stubborn talk there.

    Good, someone knows how its done.

    You got that official job yet?

    Neither did I.

    Oh wow, really? I assume you got a medal for realising that. I congratulate you for that. I am giving you examples of how Australia does it.

    I don't know, a truck. Seriously you could call them refugees, asylum seekers or immigrants as the correct terms. Or you could call them Migrants.

    What is the difference, they live on the moon or something? To be honest, I don't think you would be able to. And of course you come up with a new excuse out of nowhere.

    And here 29% of Australians HAVE lived off/paid benefits from Centrelink (Including ALL Pensions, Youth Allowance, and those who have gone off Centrelink payments). Now anyone wanting to be on Centrelink now have to have a drug test before they start getting paid. My sister was in fact on that for the time she was needed to be supported (Off it now BTW and is now beginning to pay the payments for it).

    FYI Australia has a very Jargon language. We don't know what remittances mean.

    Yes you clearly said before that you used sarcasm. So I assumed you said this as a joke.

    My parents never had sex.

    /s
    It happens all the time. Have you ever been to an American hotel? Most of housekeeping are immigrants. Immigrants also take a lot of hard labor jobs like landscaping carpentry etc. Personally I think it's just capitalism at its finest.
    Yeah Child Abandonment laws are a thing. Parents are legally obligated to house their kids till they turn 18.
    It's easier to demonize them when you call them aliens rather than humans.
