Recent Influx of Immigration

[Sip]

Originally posted by violette829 Of course there are people here who don't take every opportunity that comes their way, but that's mostly the spoiled "natives" who are in a state of comfort ...

Unfortunately to many on the outside lookin in on this country, it seems as if life here is all about kicking back, consuming, spending the money that grows on trees, and basically like a shortcut to heaven.

What they don't realize is that although the opportunities for all that is DEFINITELY here, they are still going to have to work their asses off... maybe a lot more than they are used to back in their seemingly so "crappy" home countries.

Many outsiders simply don't realize how hard the Americans actually work ... relative to europeans for example. Of course there is exception to any general statement, but having lived and visited both US and several places in Europe, I feel comfortable in making that statement.

I have no doubt that the potential immigrant pool is going to contain some extremely bright, intelligent, and hardworking people, and some extremely useless garbage with the norms being somewhere in between. So now the difficult question is HOW to distinguish the good from the bad and I admit it is not very easy.

Then how do you explain all the other crappy people here in the US? Don't tell me they are not immigrants or children of immigrants With any group, you are going to end up having all kinds of people ... some brilliant scientists, some expert craftsmen, and some that go and form organized crime families and turn crime into a prolific business.

And once in a while you'll have a couple of them pick up M16's and go shoot up a bank in North Hollywood.

Good god, don't talk like that when you don't know the guy.................

Should we allow everyone to enter into this country

definitely not.

but immigration is a hopeless case at this point. so move on, forget about the countries that have been flooded by immigrants....

on another note, 4 shootings during this last week in a small area called Scarborough. LOVELY, don't you agree?!!! Surely, those immigrants are very skilled and will get a job as soon as they come in, and not be involved in drug deals, gun smuggling, yada yada yada...... LOVELY!!!

So yah, I am all for "tough" selection criteria ... why should we allow any lazy bum with no prospects to be of any use to anyone to enter this country?

Oh you mean the ones who get on welfare as soon as they set foot into the country? i love them, and the way they empty my pockets in taxes. so let's bring more of them in!!!! why do we need skilled workers anyway? let's bring farmers from a province in China, eh?

a) Moral View

there is nothing immoral about selective immigration or anti-immigration for that matter. morality is an unrelated concept.

I don't think all human beings are "created equal".

Vayyyy, how racist of you to say that!!!! How dare you!!!

Immigrants are the life blood of our nation.

not long ago, they weren't, and there also weren't gun crimes on every street every single day... so indeed, they are the "blood" of our "nation(s)".

Immigrants and the children of immigrants are often hard-working, fluently English-speaking, money spending, county loving, tax paying citizens.

You obviously live in a shell. But then again, I don't blame you. You probably don't take the bus, and you probably live in an area that is mainly houses rather than apartments, and you don't get to see the filthiest of the filthy....

No no, that's not the reason you joined. the fact that you-know-who is on the mod team is the reason you joined.
