'An acquaintance'? A.k.a your wife...

Using this forum to promote a rival forum. Rather ungracious and disrespectful to our host.

I'm familiar with Val. She's good on some stuff but she has no perspective on illegal immigration. If we wanted to we could shut it down tomorrow, just issue nonduplicable citizenship cards or legal residency cards and require card evidence to hold a job or get a drivers license or get free benefits or receive public education. Backing that up would be heavy sanctions against employers who illegally employ them or folks who knowingly illegally rent to them. Of course we don't do that because we need their labor. A good part of the economy would collapse without them. So politicians play a game. They play up the issue at election time and then bow to their business backers in the interim. Val prefers to scapegoat the illegals and blame it all on the democrats. For some reason she can't grasp the republican business influence or how our present economy requires illegal labor. For a while we could go back to contracting foreign workers in large quantities as we did in the past but that would take away from the fun of blaming minorities for all our problems, including population escalation.

As for me I'd like to see us get immigration out and in in balance. If that means a retraction in the economy that's fine with me. I happen to think both a growth in population and the economy in the long run puts us on a death march. Steady state and less is where I'd like to see us headed.

As for kindness, less people means less musical chairs and moving closer to enough of the necessities for everybody. As Bucky Fuller put it, the challenge is to go from win-lose to win-win.
