One actually happened, which was more a poke at the irony of the comment he made than anything else.
The hypothetical he threw out for gits and shiggles won't ever happen. I never once stated "let them all in" but that is what some conservatives jump to if anyone disagrees with their immigration stance

The white guilt is strong with you.

Well i'm pretty staunch on my immigration stance FTR and would be completely against whatever open borders they're talking about, or an unnecessary leniency to people who come here illegally.

Then you should hate illegal immigration which suppresses the wages of the low skill jobs. Without an influx of illegal immigrants that are exploited for low wages, would not the wages of the low skilled legal workers increase based on the law of supply and demand? Or do you not believe that wages are correlated with labor supply?

I am pro legal immigration. I am dead set against illegal aliens.
Move the Armed Forces to the border to prevent any more armed Mexican military incursions into US territory, then the BP can do its' job and send the illegals back to Mexico. They let them pass through their country let them deal with the problem,they helped create it.

You proved the point...perhaps if the Indians had been a little more aggressive in their immigration policies, they might not have this problem

Let's discuss remittance from the United States to Mexico.
In 2011, it came to 23 billion dollars. Untaxed income that is being drained from our economy.
LINK
This is why the Mexican government is in favor of open borders. It is keeping their economy afloat.
This does not even begin to address how illegal immigrants are using local services which they are not being taxed for (schools, medical care, etc).
Legal immigration? Absolutely. Work permits/visas? Absolutely (if they are taxed on their income - local, state and federal).
Open borders? No.

There's a lot of things that do that, minimum wage for one. Cheap labor isn't a bad thing. It keeps prices low. The immigrant workers are making more money than they would otherwise. These workers also need services, so guess what? Jerbs.

The problem is your currency is constantly being devalued, and services that people really need (food, college, health care) are inflated by subsidies, government backed student loans, and monopolized health care markets in which insurance has turned into a primary payment method. The systems are bogged down in absolutely NEEDLESS bureaucracy. It's the lower class that are effected by it the most, and they are usually given assistance which further inflates these markets.
People will cry about the growing wealth gap but won't mention what's being done to the currency, which is half of every transaction.

I am pro immigrant, but I am anti illegal. I welcome any and all here, just do it legally. Why is is this wrong?

Would you be in favor of a cheap, streamline system? Because right now the cost are prohibitive to a lot of people, and it makes entering illegally a more attractive option?
I mean, it's rhetorical because no one is listening to us anyway.

No problem with cheap. Just apply, go through legal steps and meet a firm set of standards. When this is met give them a green card and turn them loose.

What you're describing really wouldn't be cheap though. What set of standards do you mean?
Posted on 6/28/14 at 4:49 pm to Patrick O Rly
Why couldn't it be cheap? Standards such as much as possible verify that they aren't a criminal. That they aren't carrying any contagious disease. Some form of simple test proving they can function in society. I would even want a system to where they had to check in with a immigration officer every 3 months to just gauge if they are adjusting and conforming with American life and laws. That would benefit both the immigrant and the USA.
