Quote from RCG Trader:
Yeah, 40-60K is great money to most Americans. Congrats on being in the top 1% of Americans. I mean that. About your resentfulness regarding Affirmative Action, if you are actually smarter than most people in the room, often the smartest, AA can be irritating. It prompts people to make stupid assumptions, like you just did.
How is breaking up families humane? That's silly. The answer is to grant Amnesty, THEN seal the border. Even the GOP god President Reagan knew that. Geez, how old are you anyways?
Quote from Artful D0dger:
40-60k is not "great" money for most Americans, statistically speaking. I also never said that I was in the top 1%, but then again, this wouldn't be the first thing you've made up.
Yes, AA is irritating to smart people. Why? Because we see it for what it is, anti white discrimination. I never made any assumption about you. You have said that you are black, in which case AA policies heavily favor you over whites. Some companies and government departments receive bonuses for for surpassing AA quotas and goals: bonuses for successfully practicing anti white discrimination. So yes, that tends to make people resentful- especially white people. Therefore unless you were lying when you wrote that you were black, I have made no assumption.
No one is breaking up any families because 1) Their families are free to leave with them and 2) there is provision for marriage visas. If the illegal has an American family, they can procure a visa based on that. Amnesty is only the answer if you want solidify the damage that's now underway.

Seems to me an invasion of 12 million + would constitute federal intervention, in theory at least. In any case if the feds are leaving border security up to the sates then why is the Dumbo administration having a shit fit over Arizona's attempt to secure their border with Mexico?Quote from RCG Trader:
I stated that I mis-spoke about the treaty. Relax. Or try to anyways![]()
The feds will not take this up as an issue. They are leaving it up to the states. As such, the Army cannot be used.

Oy vey.
The average median household income is 52K. That is household. An RN with experience easily surpasses that alone. So, yeah that is great money to most Americans.
You suggest that you make more than 60K, which is within my earning power, therefore you are in the top quintile of Americans, again, congrats, I am only in the fourth.
I have never met a white a person that, after a while, held resentment towards me. AA is annoying because I usually have to prove that I belong there, which of course has never been remotely an issue. But first year grads have to go through the same thing, so the issue is really about knowledge, not race. Unless you are a young white male with no skills. I know that is not you, tho.
The Reagan supported amnesty. I agree with Him. Rounding up all the illegals is not in any way practical, so I know you are still in the theory phase of your life. I do remember those days.
Quote from Artful D0dger:
Of course not. It's grueling. I never claimed that was the case, did I? Thanks for the straw man argument though.
I mean, diversity is a strength, right? 
Quote from Ricter:
The important thing is to understand what the stronger causative variable is. While on average they'll have "pretty good" outcomes by simply importing from the West, they can improve their results more by focusing on the wealth and skillset the potential immigrant possesses. An understanding that's missed or omitted by the OP.
