  Remember, waves of people showing up here is the consequence you voted for if you voted republican, you voted for the destabilization of Latin America

  So? That doesn’t make them entitled to coming here.

    Sure it does. We played a hand in destroying their countries, their homes, etc. The least we can do to make up for it is give them a new one. That, and stopping the existing things that we are doing to destroy their homes.

    They’re coming here to work, to become citizens, to pay their share of taxes. Immigration has been one of the core strengths of our country since pretty much the beginning, it makes no sense for us to loose that strength.

      They should’ve had better national defense in place. Not our fault they’ve always been backwards shitholes, even before we came in

        This is victim blaming.

        Not our fault they’ve always been backwards shitholes, even before we came in

        They weren’t.

  So wait, is it from destabilization or climate change? I feel like you’re just throwing out buzz words.

  Is it possible that it has anything to do with robust welfare programs, ever increasing concessions to grant non-citizens the rights of citizens, and essentially open borders?

    is it from destabilization or climate change?

    Right now it’s most just destabilization, but climate migration is projected to increase massively. The UN estimated somewhere on the order of 1.5 billion people by 2050.

    We would have to deal with that if we had actually done something about our fossil fuel use.

    I feel like you’re just throwing out buzz words

    How you feel about those words is irrelevant. Republicans started the war on drugs, installed CIA directors, and supported the overthrow of governments in Latin America. All of which has destabilized the region, and is the biggest cause of all these people trying to migrate.

    Is it possible that it has anything to do with robust welfare programs

    I sincerely hope this is a joke, because our social programs are a joke.

    ever increasing concessions to grant non-citizens the rights of citizens

    Our country was founded on immigrants. It was our biggest strength in the 18th and 20th century. Passing it away will just further hurt our nation.

    and essentially open borders?

    We do not have anything close to open borders. It takes years and thousands of dollars to successfully immigrate and become a U.S. citizen.
