I am against any artificial changes in the economy. We have seen from the past that it does not work and causes unintended consequences. When you have a boom, you have a bust.
People loved unions back in the day but now all one has to so is look at the costs associated with Unions in the auto business and the sentiment is anti union (unless you're in one). I think it's best to pay someone a fair wage. If their price is too high I'll look elsewhere, if it's too low for the worker he doesn't have to accept.
But that is just the thing. You just argued FOR immigration. There is nothing more natural that changes the economy than migration of people. It has happened everywhere and for all human history, we move to the best populated areas. Only with cars have we started to move further away from eachother, but even then we are close enough to go to the stores, ect.
I don't get the reasons each individual has but denying rights to citizens is unconstitutional. Like you said you can't have it both ways. Leave it to the Churches to decide on marriage.
I agree completely, let the government do something similar to corporations or partnerships (couple forms and poof you are a new legal entity and have full benefits under the law) and then if people want to they can go to a church and get "Married". The whole ceremony thing is way out dated, back when we did not do shit other than sit in the dark and look at stars, sure we needed the distraction of something to do, but now, shit there is so much else.
I am All for deporting Illegals because they are here Illegally and do not deserve to be thrust ahead of others with Amnesty.
Why because they moved a hundred miles north for a job, because they lived in junk huts and want to make a better life for their families?
We are a migrating species, this is what we do. If I want to move to seattle, I can, but am I now stealing jobs from native seattle people, should they have the right to deny me because I am out of state and they need to look out for their own? I am sure it is different to you because you see those imaginary lines on the map and it is inside the darker lines of america, but really is it much different? I mean what would have been the case if we would not have traded a necklace for half of america, would the native americans have allowed us to enter their country now? Would it be a country?
I cant even imagine how shitty it would be to try to get the mexican government to fill out paperwork for the poor people to try to become americans, and bribes if corrupt, or barriers because they don't have a job or school to go to here in the states so they do not get approved because they are poor. When they could just hump it for a few days. I just really think that we should try to look more at reality of both sides and not just look at the small number of temporary displaced american workers who can get benefits to improve their skills to a point they can get into the needed skilled jobs that the mexicans cannot compete with.
Another thing that just came to me, we can show the world that borders are more trouble than they are worth for the population in most cases, like the gaza strip, they are too concerned with borders and ethnicities when they could just allow the people to live where ever they could afford to live and if it happens to be in isreali territory then it is on that government to police its people. It would be scary for a while, but if this would have happened thousands of years ago it would be fine by now.
Allow the government borders to police the people within them and not stop people from moving in or out.
This will never happen though, people will always cry for the government to herd them into a neat little box with a outline sketch around it.
