how do you fuck this up
US military will deploy 5,200 active duty troops to Mexican border
It is tricky because they are coming here at the behest of liberals to be exploited as lawn mowers and toilet cleaners (in their own words). So supporting it would be allying yourself with the most out of touch elitist assholes possible who cant even clean their own toilets.
Ive always found myself considering myself "pro immigrant anti immigration" in the current climate.
Exposing crimes is enough.
you're great, user
i mostly find myself agreeing with you but user, have you read this? might give some more perspective: marxists.org
those who have been dragged from home and are refugees might be more inclined to communist thought, no? even if they sadly end up in service to out-of-touch liberals.
Disband the military and borders.
On what basis will that happen?
The problem is you have people coming from complete poverty to comfortable poverty. The average person is not going to rock the boat, even be thankful for it.
I see immigration in the US as the democrats answer to the abolition of slavery. The migrant is just the new slave to them. And you know, being a slave in america wasn't necessarily that bad compared to the alternatives (being a slave in africa), you probably had better medical care and food than you would have gotten there, and there were laws in america against abusing slaves that were probably followed by at least some masters, but you were still a slave.
I just dont like it, there is no good position on it apart from 'change the entire system'.
Oh, no, you misunderstand me. I find it abhorrent as well.
But of course.
Indentured servitude among Africans functioned more similarly to a caste system than to chattel slavery, still evil but a lesser kind. It is true that American slavery was far from the worst historical example, but few Africans actually made it to the US, and they were only kept alive for economic reasons; the majority of them were treated as disposable work machines.
Welcome to radicalism. :^)
On what basis should leftists be anti-immigration or discourage the free movement of labor?
