I am not a tweeter by habit-but this is ridiculous (MSNBC). My favorite retweet-they got free healthcare and all!

    "The power of whiteness " suggests only caucasians are desirable in the US or that they have a fast track. The comment is intended to discredit the legal actions of some and credit the illegal actions of others. It 's straightforward

    When you violate immigration laws, you are "immigrating illegally." Thus, it is not incorrect to call that "illegal immigration," and the people doing so "illegal immigrants."

    there are many assistance programs including food banks that illegal immigrants can take advantage of. This includes school programs. In Colorado Springs we had a program that sent children home with special backpacks filled with food on Fridays. Many of the kids who received the backpacks were illegally in the country or their parents were.

    Including carjacking a vehicle and bringing a trunkload of LSD to sell on the street corner outside the local grade school USA?
    Y'think that method should be legal?

    WE may be a free country, but the people outside hardly are.

    Seriously, you think just anybody should be allowed to wander into the Gulch?

    technically, the "indigenous peoples" are also immigrants.

    It's nice to hear, though, that Maph, like me, has no problems with the European conquest of the N. American continent...

    "where if the management of a company consists entirely of men, those men will tend to assume that skilled women are not actually skilled, or that they are less skilled than their male counterparts."

    And if the women are less experienced than the men, they will be less skilled.

    Acknowledging the differences in the sexes is not privilege.

    If I'm not mistaken, John Galt et al expected to control the immigration into the Gulch, did they not?

    So by not allowing Englishmen to just come to the U.S. and settle down whenever they like, we're being racist?

    Hmm... somebody doesn't know what "race" is...

    Yes, regulating who can come into and out of a nation is extremely nationalist. What is your point?

    they don't immigrate... they invade.
    An immigrant, by implication, is seeking to join the culture of the place to which he migrates.
    Illegal alien invaders have, for the past 30+ years, invaded the U.S. with the intent of keeping their failed culture and making it dominant, and siphoning off all the largesse they can.

    So you're an anarchist.
    And you oppose property rights.
    Why am I not surprised?

    Yes, because telling people to stop being racist is morally equivalent to being racist. I see.

    There should be no laws which prevent or inhibit people from freely entering or exiting the country at will.

    See, I wouldn't go that far, cause North Korea is definitely tyrannical but they still have some immigration.... I think?

    I was commenting on Maphs statement that immigration is illegal. Immigration is not illegal. The illegality comes when the existing laws are violated.

    Not sure what your point is. Whether you want to call the act illegal or that they are an illegal immigrant is immaterial.

    I would agree that it were tyrannical if there were no immigration, but controlled immigration is entirely reasonable.
