The ultimate end game with that thought is OPEN BORDERS. Why? Because compassion overrules law. If someone want in to better themselves then they get in. Period. To not let them in is not compassionate. So if we are only basing our decision on compassion we should have open borders. Then we should supply all their needs as well because that's compassionate too. Failure to supply everyone's needs is a failure of compassion.
I don’t support open borders. I support a Legal system to processes travelers and immigrants. Don’t put words in my mouth
Dude. When you say that the foreigners have a right to come here, you are for open borders. Dont' ******* kid yourself.
Yeah well the thing is I never said that, so your fighting against a phrase that you made up. I said I support them in having to opportunity to come here. You’re making this into a “rights” thing. It’s a political word game that you are playing and it isn’t working.
Your words.
"I think they deserve the same opportunities that our ancestors had. "
If you think they deserve that, then it is morally wrong for our immigration policy to be based on the interests of American citizens.
That is giving them the moral right to come here.
if we base our policy on that, then they end up with the LEGAL right to come here.
Words have meanings. Your words mean what I just said they do. If that is not your intent, change your words.
