Our country already has too many freaking people in it; adding still MORE people will just strain systems and dilute resources that much more. Clearly we cannot allow anyone in the world who wants to come here do so. Every sane person will agree to that. But for some reason if you replace the word "anyone" with "Mexican" millions of people including almost all latinos (go figure) suddenly lose their minds and decide this country can handle any influx imaginable. Actually, *hint hint* they're not doing any analysis, they're just spouting bullshiat based on emotion and/or old-fasioned Sesame Street caliber tribalism. We don't owe non-citizens anything. I'll repeat that. We don't owe non-citizens anything. Helping out non-citizens is one of those "nice to do" things. It's not something you do if it hurts real citizens. A massive increase in competition for resources versus a much smaller increase in those resources = hurting real citizens, lower standard of living.

If you break a law and don't hurt anybody, the punishment can't be that great.But if you're breaking laws and that affects other negatively, e.g. those navigating the proper immigration channels, then the punishment should be steeper, like, I don't know, no FEDERAL money for education. Jeebus, there's no steaming bullshiat imaginable that California won't entertain. I can't wait till the big one...ok that sounds bad, the big one would be bad, but with the upside of no more Cali...still bad, but mitigating factors, no?
I have to think the root cause of 99% of the country's problems is this: politicians put votes above all else. This means the popularity of issues takes precedence over the impact and net value of issues. So any proposition that will negatively impact the country will still go forward (or equivalently, fail to be opposed, same diff) so long as it's popular. This, my friends, is horse shiat.
The only way to salvage our little 200-yr old project country is ACCOUNTABILITY.

I feel you. You make some valid points. Now take a deep breath and relax. Being so wound up is not healthy. I like the line "old-fashioned Sesame Street caliber tribalism" that's priceless.

Hey Shadow let me know if you decide to run for office so I can vote for you. Here is what I believe some say it's harsh but it's reality.
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years."
"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"
I believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA as we know it in fewer than five years

Non citizens are used by people that want CHEAP labor and will not complain about abuses. President Reagan had an idea of punishing people that hired illegals.
As for saving the US Constitution impeach Dubya,republicans,and democrats.

I'm all for mexicans becoming american citizens... legally.
But it is much more complicated than just simply kicking them out. What about illegal aliens who came into the states many years ago and have children who are american citizens? Especially children that are attending schools. Do they get deported along with their parents or taken to foster homes? Do the parents get special treatment?
I wish it was as simple.

Lots of hostility towards people here!
I think you oughtta be sorry for saying such absurd things, okay one thing is that you are full of hatred against illegal immigrants, but for you to say that you can't wait for the big one to come to California, How cruel and evil can you be, I think you are the equivalent of Hitler and think like him, do you have any idea what you are saying here? Do you have any idea the number of people that would die? Innocent people, children, the elderly, etc. Why so much hatred?
I don't know where you are located, but how would you like it if someone said they were glad about what took place in New York that type of thing (wishing for a tragedy to happen or glad for it to happen) and the nasty hateful remarks, I think you oughtta be ashamed of yourself, what a disgusting human being you are I would never want to be anywhere near you, I'd throw up!!
You are evil, irrational and full of hate, people like you end up very lonely and bitter, frustrated and no one wants to be around that, how sad you wish for that to happen and that millions of lives are affected and devastated and even death, no wonder people say: "Becareful what you wish for, because you just might get it" You alone will get that!

We need to ask that the illegal aliens be sent home, and that they need to not try to do things like signing foreigners up to vote in our elections, and that there be public accountability etc, you're right on that one. The immigration process has laws and rules, which need to be followed, and if NOT followed, then enforced.
National debt keeps climbing, clock keeps ticking, Congress keeps talking...
