Were America's earliest settlers illegal aliens?
Did the pilgrams and others have a better "moral" right to immigrate here than today's illegal immigrants of all races? One of the 10 Commandments is Thou shall not covet thy neighbors house, wife ect.. - Covet is defined as: long for: desire, particularly someone elses property. Obviously the first settlers did not own or inherit this land that became America. Should God's law have been used back then in lieu of not having or understanding the Native Indians laws?
People claim that we need illegal immigrants to work or our country will fail, why not require any unemployed people getting benefits to work these jobs?
People who do office work might not be suited to doing construction and people doing construction might not be suited to office work. So “requiring lazy unemployed people “ to take ANY job might not solve labor shortages. The “truth” no one wants to admit is that illegal’s labor allows “upper middle class” people to live like kings and queens. For example, illegals doing yard work saves those upper middle class people from mowing their own lawns. Illegals allow the upper middle class to have nannies. Illegals allow the upper middle class to eat at restaurants cheaply. If illegals weren’t here, then the upper middle class would have to pay living wages to get other people to do theses tasks, or, horror of horror, do it themselves…Nannygate - WikipediaWe need illegals to maintain the luxurious lifestyle of the upper middle class at poverty wages. But we don’t really need illegals…
Given the number of illegal Mexicans caught in the past year at the US border, how does this save jobs potentially lost to illegal immigrants? Isn’t the economy in need of better paying jobs at the end of the day?
Given the number of illegal Mexicans caught in the past year at the US border, how does this save jobs potentially lost to illegal immigrants? Isn’t the economy in need of better paying jobs at the end of the day?Let me begin by saying that I am not against anyone. I don’t blame people for trying to make their lives better. I do, however, strongly believe that the USA needs to enforce and to reform existing immigration laws.Yes, to your question as to the need of better paying jobs. The great influx of lower skilled individuals does lower the wages of those who are already citizens of the USA. The new arrivals can take the existing jobs and are hired many times as drastically lower wages. This not only lowers the wages for the existing people, citizens of the USA but these jobs are filled by the new arrivals who are, “illegally,” entering the country.Therefore the influx of people entering illegally to the USA not only lower existing wages but they take jobs that people in the USA could fulfill.The people who are most affected by this are the people who work the non-skilled and skilled labor jobs, usually those without college level training, and sometimes those with a college education are affected directly, too, by the loss of jobs and the lower wage market for those jobs.Here is a short video of someone who can explain this situation by his first-hand experience as a house painter in L.A., USA.Thank you for the question.Here is the video that I was originally referring to. for some reason, I could not post this earlier:Thank you.
Why can't LEGAL ALIENS vote?
READ ALL THE DETAILS, PLEASE! All 50 states currently allow only citizens to vote. This seems extremely arbitrary. EVERYONE, citizens and aliens alike, are required to pay taxes, obey the law, and sign up for selective service. So it makes sense that non-citizens should be allowed to vote. All 50 states and the federal government are republics. Republics derive their authority to govern from the governed, because the ultimate right to rule rests in the governed. (John Locke's idea) LEGAL ALIENS are people in the United States that are in the country because the government has given those people permission to stay. This permission takes the form of a VISA or a PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD. The length of stay on a VISA depends on what the VISA was issued for. (Work, education, tourists, etc) PERMANENT RESIDENT CARDS last for 10 years. These cards are issued to VISA holders who apply for them because they already have or intend to settle in the United States. These non-citizens who have settled in the US, and those who come to get an education are the ones who would most benefit from voting rights, because they are subject to the law as much as any citizen is, so by Lockean ideas, they should have the right to vote. Tourists are only here for a temporary amount of time, so they don't need the right to vote. ILLEGAL ALIENS are those who are in the country without the permission of the government. Either they don't have the permission to stay, or their permission to stay has expired. They should not be allowed to vote, period. That would be unfair for the LEGAL ALIENS. My advice for them would be to go back from where they came, and come here legally with a VISA. I have taken the time to explain the use CAPS LOCK, explain the status quo, and the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEGAL AND ILLEGAL ALIENS. I DO NOT WANT ANY ARBITRARY ANSWERS. SUPPORT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. NOR ANY MENTION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS. THIS ABOUT LEGAL ALIENS ONLY! If you don't get the difference between ILLEGAL AND LEGAL ALIENS, or you don't know what "arbitrary" means, look it up! If you still don't get it, then don't answer!
Illegal immigrants, taking our jobs?
Please don't take offense to my question, I'm just puzzled and looking for feedback. Please no nasty comments eithier. . . . A common complaint from Americans on illegal immigrants is that illegal immigrants are taking away our jobs. With the utmost sincerity, I ask this question. What jobs are they taking from you and I? Let's be honest. Are Americans going to go out each day and pick produce in fields at 104 F weather, wash cars for minimum wage, or go out and maintain someone else's landscape? Again, I ask what jobs are these immigrants stealing? If one were to pick a group of people who are taking our jobs, it would be all of the people overseas and the companies who relocate for the sake of a dollar and leave thousands if not millions of Americans unemployed. Also, for those who have engineering degrees, etc. aren't those as well being given to folks overseas? Feedback please, I'm just talking about the job aspect argument that I hear so much of.....
Do illegal immigrants pose threat to world peace?
Answer : Yes.Never mind World Peace, illegal immigrants can easily make things very difficult to any regions of the World.Take my country, Malaysia for example. Since 1990s, Malaysian government have been importing cheap labor from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia (all of them are Muslims since the government stupid enough to think that wealth-sharing among Muslims will improve Islam).Since then, Malaysia have an increase of crime rate (including sexual crime), increase in prostitution and other illegal activities like gambling, gang wars between Myanmar and Rohinyan immigrants, lost of low-level jobs for the locals and an increasing activities involving terrorism in South Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines.In Europe, things seems to be even worse. I have watched Youtube channels and it seems that immigrants from Middle East actually DEMANDING free stuffs from the European governments like housing and jobs - which should be the rights of the local residents and not these parasites.
