So why don't you explain why all other nationalities get .2 percent of the pie. When Mexican so blatantly abuse the system and gets the huge majority? The years Russians, pinoys, etc, sit in fucking line because of use of illegals children petitions and back door amnesty systems? How the difficult of visa's increase every year because of the illegals children slamming our welfare system. Any other stupid questions?

Who are we excluding?

Who are we excluding?

Yes chesus, in a year we allow around 1 million immigrants to get green cards, when 1 out of 200 get 13.3 percent the other 199 get shit on it a continuous cycle that keeps backlogging other people trying to enter/stay. If you equaled mexico out to be on par with other countries then we exclude 130,000 a year give or take. Now this compounds every year then you have to look at the backlog for each country so the number would take a ton of research and number crunching so if you want to have at it but its well into the millions.

Blah blah blah
Who are we excluding?
We have no fence with Canada. You say so what they don't want to come here. Then you make up the claim That we let in so many Mexicans we are excluding others.
So who are we excluding?

illegals from mexico want work usa obviously wants cheap labor it should not be that hard to figure out a solution most iilegals dont want to stay.if it was easier to work and then go back to mexico with money knowing they would have no problem coming back to make more and then go back home again our problem would not be nearly as large making it easier to find and deport the ones trully trying to stay.most stay because they made it in so they will ride it as long as they can in the mean time having children and using the medical system.

What is that list suppose to say?Is it columns? It is polite to state the source and what the hell you mean.

Who is they? And how do you suggest we hand out visas and Green Cards?

Why is the world do we owe the world any fairness on who comes here.

Of course we pick and choose. What do you think this is a refugee tent for the world?

its per year of who we give green cards to. Mexico takes the largest portion. They can't figure how its unfair to other nations. This has all started because chesusrise was making the case for it being ok for mexicans to illegal immigrate about how unfair it was for them

I just did for second time, list of all other countries they get a much smaller portion dumb ass. You want exact they're there I am not doing it for you hop to it.

you also claim Canadians don't want to come here is that because they don't have enough green card for them coming or what?

So chesus since you have been derailing this thread with your stupidity please contribute. What would you recommend to fix our huge illegal immigration problem?

ChesusRice · Feb 1, 2013

Sounds you're an idiot that keeps digging deeper. Where did I say they're the only one? I only said that account for the largest portion 60% to be exact.

Furry animals account for the most fur.
Who is being excluded because of the Mexicans?

Were other people excluded when the Irish Germans and Italians came over by the millions?

Let's talk about this stupid immigration issue
