Working near the border

[rustyshakelford]

I would not support illegal immigration, but saying to do it legally is a bit absurd. For the numbers that seek immigration, they would stand a better chance buying a lottery ticket. From what I understand.

As far as the baby goes. I sure do wish that people that can't afford to have a baby, wouldn't. It too often becomes someone ELSES responsibility, and quite frankly it seems that other people often seem to care more (for the baby) than the parents.

Great point but it seems that the responsible types consider the economic burden and obligation and thus don’t have as large as families.

As for immigrating, it’s not an open door. Being a Canadian you know Canada expects you to bring something to the table and be as asset to be let in. It’s certainly not a open door policy for anyone and everyone. The us should be like that too. If you want to come, do it legally. I understand the system sucks but it is what it is. Pick another country if you don’t like the way we do things

The US has an odd issue with the Spanish culture. But here in Canada, for decades the Government has dictated what I can watch and listen too saying they are protecting our "Culture" yet now they seem intent on destroying MY CULTURE with these waves of "refugee" immigration. Many who have no intention of integrating and may even wish me and my kind dead!

Can I vent? Also thoughts on this.
About 15 years ago a (46 yr old then) friend marries a 40 year old lady from China. She's great...works here, speaks English well. Then she brings her 70 year old Mom here. Mom doesn't speak English, never worked one single day in America, however, she now gets social security (more than me), a subsidised apartment , food stamps, free utilities, free medical, etc. Now...my wife and I were born here, worked and paid taxes (a LOT) here, we pay health insurance, etc....where's our free stuff?!?!?

I don't know about Canada but as I understand it, there is nothing in the US constitution that says the government has the right to take your (tax) money for purposes of providing welfare. If some people feel that strongly about helping others, let THEM pay for it! I like what Thatcher said. The funny thing about socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money.

That looks like a well beaten path, is someone mowing it?

It is a freshly mulched right of way. We have cleared around 85 miles of it in the past month.

Let's see you pick that baby up, hold it in your arms, and take it back to the 3rd world country where it came from and drop it off in a slum. Don't pay some government employee to do the dirty work. You do it personally. Come on. It's easy. Do it. It has to be done, so you might as well be the one to do it, right?

NOT a problem at all, I can't let MY feelings get in the way of what's RIGHT for my country!

We have no land borders and get them by the boat/plane full, not only the financial burden but they also queue jump the ones who are waiting to get in legally and they bring with them all sorts of exotic diseases that we do not experience, some have been dropped off in very remote locations in NW Australia and perish in the hostile conditions then we are bastards for not helping them, a bit hard when you don't know they are there, same when a boat sunk and they blamed the Navy for not helping, once again no one knew they were there.
There are border patrols but it is a big border and small boats which can be easily missed by aircraft and radar.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I never realized Australia had a problem with illegal immigrants, being an island, and where it is. Seeing stuff on TV with the reefs, diving, fishing, desert, and so much elbow room I may want to become an illegal immigrant. The USA is headed downhill.
