Should immigrants who can't support themselves or their families be deported?

BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
I dunno, honestly, on the one hand I see why it would seem right to get rid of people who are in this country from somewhere else who can't support themselves. But at the same time, then would we get rid of people who are US citizens who also can't support themselves?

@SuicideBiProxy2 Having lived in Gypsy camps before, I have way too much experience with this to ever believe that a bunch of Romani are gonna sit around and say "Oh well, they're building a wall. I guess we'll just sit here and die."

@MethDozer There would be an international scandal if that happened. And why not just shoot them instead of spending the money to build a giant wall?

@BlueMetalChick I want to call BS on it too,but then again this fucked up shit tends to be somewhat true when I do.

@bijouxbroussard The Natives were tribes of people who were technologically inferior. the Eastern Hemisphere was born of war and conflict. We all descend from places where we were conquered or conquered. It is part of our human legacy. No human society has lived in peace. Diversity=Conflict. The Natives fought against themselves. In Mexico and Peru, it was the native peoples that allied with Europeans to take down their oppressors, the Aztecs and Inca.

It doesn't matter if we took Mexico by force. We have a receipt. Most Latinos came to the US in the late 1800s onward to work in the mines during the Profirato and the more recent farm workers/manufacturers.
@SuicideBiProxy2 We don’t, no more than countries previously involved in colonialism elsewhere in the world do. We just make excuses for the past and pretend we don’t understand the reasons for the continuing fallout.

@bijouxbroussard At some point these countries need to take control of their own futures. they are not victims. they make excuses for their plight. while the US has contributed to the histories of these countries in positive and negative ways, the future is there's.

No. Migrants have the ability to contribute and enrich a society.. BUT>> I would be granting a "special" category of citizenship and Residence that was able to be revoked if a person broke a severe enough law. I am not talking about a speeding ticket. But a serious conviction should lose one the right to citizenship. (I have to say it would be nice to be able to do that for all criminals, not just migrants.)

Not if they’re legal. It would be cool if people working so hard to protect people who are here illegally would put all that effort into helping people who are here legally get on their own two feet.

@SuicideBiProxy2 Your ancestors weren't "our people" most likely.
SuicideBiProxy2 · 36-40, M
@getmeouttahere If they are Citizens, they are American. If they are legally here, they are alien residents.
getmeouttahere · 36-40, F
@SuicideBiProxy2 ohhhhh so you’re talking about people waiting in line to get their citizenship? Just waiting for the legal stuff to be completed? I don’t know that’s much about the process but if that’s what you mean.... Yeah those people also I’d like them to stay but have help getting on their feet. But not by the government, preferably.

@BlueMetalChick thé most important thing about the tariffs might be the politics of them, doing sweetheart deal with China to get Ivanka some more business while fucking your Canadian and European friends in the ass. They are furious over here.

@Gwangi Canadian negotiators are trying to convince the US to stop putting up right-to-work laws because it's convincing all the business to set up in America, since they can save money by treating their workers like utter shit.

Which means Canada cares more about American workers than America does.
Gwangi · 46-50, M
@BlueMetalChick you are wise! They so do. If i weren’t here, I’d be working in Canada.

That would throw out any children or homemakers.
SuicideBiProxy2 · 36-40, M
@Xuan12 Only if 1 person in their family couldn't support them all.

Not legal ones, no.
