I don't have an agenda. I just think the immigration system is flawed.


Yes, I agree with open borders.

What is the reconquesta movement?

The wall has been built, the border patrol has become more corrupt, and the problem is still unsolved...............the government has become more wishy-washy, and nothing gets resolved. A lot of these Illegals have children now born in the USA, and are still not paying taxes.

Remember, that we have here Illegal aliens from many parts of the world besides Mexico! They are getting paid under the table, and we are not getting a share of the taxes, so the government should give them amnesty, allow them to identify themselves, work toward citizenship, and pay taxes........problem solved.

Now, we should concentrate our efforts in keeping our borders away from people that want to cross here illegally, and do a better job.............

Well I have mixed opinions on the subject. I don't think illegals should get anymore then a workers visa, and they should make that more open to other nationalites then just Mexicans, like South-East Asians. I also agree with deporting known gang members, like in California they have deported many Mexican and Central American gang members, but also tens of thousands of Cambodians and Vietnamese gang members as well. I am not biased at all being Cambodian, gang members and criminals are all scum of the earth and I think that America should do what England did and send all of their convicted felons to an island like Australia and let them kill eachother over there. Instead of killing innocent people, they are all animals and deserve treatment no better.

I think that there is nothing you can do from keeping people from going to a land mass that they wish to be.

Remember. Borders are imaginary.

Borders are only imaginary when you have sellouts in the gov't who refuse to enforce the law.

Let's get rid of income taxation and replace it with a national sales tax, restrict the right to vote only to local homeowners (NOT renters), build the damn wall down south, and change our legal immigration to be based on an entrance exam, so that only the brightest could come in. We have enough third-world poverty in this country in disfunctional urban ghettoes as it is.

The trickle of illegals won't bother me much then.

What is the reconquesta movement?
The reconquesta movement is the believe that the southwest, texas, cali were once part of mexico and should be once again. So they come here with the believe of taking back the land through numbers.
Can you tell me why you believe we should have open borders? So we should give welfare to everyone in mexico as well because if we had open borders that would happen. How can we afford that?
Please tell me you are young and havent thought this out.
