You have been sailing on that great Egyptian River, Denial.
It is not about not caring about i******s. It is about numbers. They start at millions, and soon go to infinity.
Why do you not care about our borders ? Why are you for the people who want unlimited i*****l i*********n ? What, do we not produce enough poor people in Amerika ? Why must we import millions ?
Come on, speak to me man.

I don't think "liberals have created incentives" because considering where and how those immigrants live, almost any place would be better. They come here because it is widely known that "in America, you have rights and liberties other countries do not have...in America, if you work hard and follow the laws you can actually make a living and take care of yourself and family....they believed that in America you would treated fairly based on your own efforts to excel....they believed America was the one place that they could actually experience "freedom."
I wonder, do you ever contribute to charities or help a neighbor solve a problem and expect nothing in return(?) If so, how is it that you can be so brazen and selfish as to deny people seeking more than poverty and excessive violence a chance to better themselves? How do you think you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot and you lived where and how they live?
If I'm sailing down the great river of Denial, then surely you are sailing down that great river of Selfishness and discrimination. We can and should enforce "limitations" on immigration, and I have no problem with that. But this iron clad "no immigrants -unless they're from Norway" - is discriminatory and just plain wrong. period.
Son: I do care about our borders and our laws. In the US Navy, I have fought and shed blood to defend our nation from those seeking to do us harm and more importantly, to spread freedom and humanity throughout the world. To think that I don't care about our country is a huge mistake. However, I think what Trump and these republicans are doing has little to do with concern for our country.
We have millions and millions of acres of uninhabited land, and we have an economy that could sustain millions more than those who currently live here. Why be selfish? Further, we claim our country is founded on the belief of "all men were created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" -yet we don't practice what we preach. Millions here claim to be Christian, yet defy the very laws of God when it comes to "helping your neighbors" and "doing to others as you would have them do unto you."
I have never said, nor have I heard any of the current dems say, "we want open borders with unlimited immigration." What I have constantly heard is "we don't need to be self-serving barbarians in regards to immigration and asylum. We have a system in place to evaluate any claims for asylum, let the immigrants apply and be afforded due process." Trump has eliminated due process by ordering ICE to arrest and detain any would be applicants for asylum and not even let them apply. What type of jackass does that?
Have you ever read Deuteronomy 19:34 (?) "Do not forsake showing kindness to the foreigners among you for you all were once immigrants...and I am the Lord thy God."
