Why is the immigration such a big issue currently

[ltheghost]

It is a big issue because elections are coming up and Republicans are running a full media blitz of "blame the brown illegals game". They don't have anything else to talk about and illegal immigrants have been here forever. Why are they talking about it now? LOL In four months nothing will be done and it will be the same shyt as usual. Just another reason to have red necks and cacs at the boarder waving Chinese-made American flags. Illegal immigrants aren't the ones fukking over the American poorly educated working class.

They will do whatever they have to do in order to avoid the discussion that is really at the root of all this : The "immigrants: have JUST as much right to be here as the sissies who are rallying to keep them out. Just because you fought and are emotional or committed to fighting for this country...doesn't mean any of your efforts are legit. Because you stole what you have.

nowhere in the constitution does it mention civil offense or that you shouldn't be detained for a civil offense, that is something you are making up

the power to detain people comes the constitutional power to protect the borders of the us, if you are suspected of violating the borders of the united states you are liable to be detained and to be removed, you are delusional to think otherwise

nobody is stopping anybody from applying to be a refugee or to request asylum, but the migrants are not refugees and crime is not a standard for being a refugee or to request asylum

Cruel and unusual punishment. It is unusual to detain people for civil violations on a mass scale. How would you like it if people started getting detained and thrown in jail for speeding on mass scale? Wouldn't that Merritt a second look? Speeding and undocumented immigration are both noncriminal cases and both handle in civil court.

No body is stopping anyone from apply immigration statuses? Obama just said he would speed up the process of deportation, nothing about having enforcing due process under law.

yeah and thats your problem, you dont not understand that crossing the border illegally is not the same as a speeding ticket

you have no idea what the hell you are talking about

first you lied about being detained by civil violations being unconstitutional and now you are lying about speeding and violating immigration being the same thing, who told you that speeding which puts other people's live at risk is non criminal? who told you that violating the borders of the united states is equivalent to a ticket or that its non criminal? you are just spouting words hoping something sticks, shut up

immigrants do not have the right be here unless you have a visa from the us government and nobody has the right to violate immigration laws

the only people that have a legit argument that their land was stolen are native americans, but the native americas whose land was stolen are still in the united states and they are american

people from latin america have zero claim to any land in the united states, that is pure bs

The gooz trying to collapse the country is what's happening

This guy, Liberal Viewer, talks about this issue first in his sunday representation on his channel. There is a lot of information that's covered in what he goes over.

Race and politics. People of all social ladders are scared that brown people are taking over. Let keep it 100 here, no one grabbed guns or had huge protests when NSA leaks went down, people complained on social media. This virulent hate towards immigrants is much deeper than just constitutional violations, it represents a change in the way the U.S dynamic is played out. Grabbing guns to the border and saying children are a threat to a superpower has some deep racial and ethnic hatred to it. You had people in California stop and nearly riot over a bus full of women and children while those protesters had guns! That is just racism and hatred right there.


Even as a Latino in Texas, sometimes I can't help but feel like an outsider in a country I was born and raised in and I get little reminders that I am just an outsider, not really an American. At time I feel like a man with no country.

I don't see how you could possibly feel this way

The usual, "No you can't be from Texas!" to "Now tell me where you are really from?" "Where do you really come from?"

Other things like nasty stares when I talk in Spanish or white people I don't know using Spanish words to try to "connect with" me. I've also been asked my immigration status by Harris County Sheriffs. I was at a protest when Arizona passed HB 1070 and one of the pro-nativist protesters literally came a few inches in my face and started yelling at me, calling me all sort of names. People assume my family doesn't speak English so they immediately get a Spanish speaker, even though they speak English with a clear and somewhat heavy accent.

Of course the usual nightclub and bar racism that is aimed towards me. Just the usual.

im going to assume theres more mexicans in texas then whites right?

Nope there aren't.

I don't know either but after awhile I get tired of people assuming I'm from another country or keep insisting that I have to come from somewhere other than the US on an almost daily basis.

 

[DonFrancisco]

Let me check the stats....actually whites are a little more than half the population.

i think in the end there has to be compromise, white people and everybody else have to accept immigrants and that everybody that lives in the us is american but on the other hand immigrants have to accept that you cant have unlimited or open migration and the language in america is english
