Quote from 377OHMS:
Well wait a minute, they aren't really illegal since the land belonged to them earlier.
Out here we think of them as people displaced by colonial imperialism who are exercizing their "right of return".
Essentially we welcome them into a sanctuary city, provide them with documentation, federally subsidized housing, food stamps, pre-natal and post-natal medical care, utility subsidy and full primary education for their kids. That doesn't seem like much if you really think about it. Its not like we are supplying them with a new car and a toaster oven. Its American for crying out loud.
Where is your generosity? Can't you see what is happening to innocent people down in Mexico? Many would argue that we caused those problems and so are responsible for the migration of refugees.
And pot has been proven to be harmless and helps support those poor people down south.
You seem like a nice person and probably just need a little explanation of things out west here. I'm happy to explain since we really need some federal help and people should know the real situation if they have to pitch-in.
So, you want to give California back to Mexico. Fine go ahead, just don't expect the rest of us to pay for your self created problems.
The solution to the immigration/drug problem is to mine the boarder and the sea between us and Mexico. Illegal immigration would stop cold, drug traffic would stop cold. And the cartels would go elsewhere. What, you don't want to mine the boarder? Then supply enough troops to seal the boarder. Do we have to wait until a terrorist is shown to have crossed the open boarder and blown up a building(s).
As far as pot being harmless. I knew quite a few pot heads when I was younger. Pot makes you "mellow" and listless long after you stop smoking it. It's hard for a pot head to even hold a job. I remember a close friend who eventually couldn't even hold an intelligent conversation until he got off pot for several months. That's hardly harmless and I'm pretty sure there are other problems it causes that are not reported by the liberal studies.
Your sarcasm is appreciated, though.
