I do not agree with the mainstream school when it comes to immigration. I do believe that certain types of individuals should not be allowed to immigrate or should be barred from places based off of their past behaviour... but I do believe that the majority of people are GOOD and they should be allowed to move freely from place to place. We are humans. We are not cattle.
Nor are we extraterrestrial. That is why I find the term 'alien' to be so derogatory. Yes of course, the literal translation is 'a foreigner' but the modern associations of the word all lean towards something from M. Night Shyamalans latest summer thriller, corn fields, crop circles, eerie bleep bloop noises, and large eyed grey things coming to beam you up in the middle of the night and perform God only knows what on your unconscious body....
Yet this term 'alien' I believe is used exactly for that purpose, for the distance it places between us. Yet I have to tell you that I am no different from the Zimbabwean who runs through the Kruger park at night on the way to South Africa, nor from the droves of South Americans who slip their way into the United States at night.
The thing that KILLS me is there are few people who are actually from the countries they are in. The rest are immigrants who then spend a lot of time talking about the us and the them, and the us try to keep the them out of here.
What a stupid way to spend your life, in fear of other people. Surely there have to be far more profitable ways to spend your time?
From a logistical and fiscal point of view, I do believe that everyone who enters a country should be registered, and accounted for and given an identity number and if social services are required, then taxes need to be paid. Then immigrations witch hunt would be focused on people who do not follow registration rules in a humane way, because currently the immigration rules ARE NOT HUMANE.
A very small percentage of people actually qualify to live in America. The immigration process is so restrictive. Yet may I point out please, there were no white men or black men originally here in America, those brown people youre trying to keep out, they were here first!! Their ancestors moved freely up through Mexico into the States long before there was a toll booth and border patrol and helicopters swooping down like pterodactyls in the night....
I think you should rather reprimand people for being lazy, and not for the countries of their birth. How about deporting people for stupidity or for their inability to contribute positively to the rest of humanity? Those are things you CAN control. Where you are born, and to whom you can not control.
I think the immigration rules were a great idea in theory. But their application has failed because of one element. The Human Element. You can not tear families apart because they dont have the $5000 plus per person to apply for permanent residence and then citizenship.
I believe the borders should be opened up. Its going to happen sooner or later anyways. I dont see it as divisions of resources available. I dont see it as a bad thing. I see it as an increase in manpower, an increase in taxes paid (if people are registered), and an increase in the legal population, because theyre not going home you know. They go home, and some lazy ass white girl is going to have to start cleaning toilets at McDonalds.America cant cope without our illegal helpers. So how about we help them?
