Do the Texas vigilantes "defending"the border cause hate crime by pretending there's an illegal invasion coming?

Knowingly crossing the border when you are not a citizen makes it illegal.

While not an "invasion" in the classic military sense, there is definitely a risk in taking in too many people and overwhelming our resources because of illegal immigration.

It's not a hate crime to defend the border.

Ask yourself why every other country does it and historically we have done it? Way back all immigrants went through Ellis Island. We knew who and what they were. They understood immigration to be a legal progress and welcomed the opportunity. The government through the National Park Servie makes seeing the place and how it worked possible. It’s done proudly. Those in control inside the beltway feel differently. They don’t care about history. Why? History shows what has worked best. @SumKindaMunster

@jackjjackson Agreed. If the government wanted to control the border and prevent people from crossing it illegally, they would.

Therefore they support illegal border crossing simply by the fact that they know about it, and refuse to take action to put a stop to it.

Why do you think that is? @SumKindaMunster
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson I think its just simply a consequence of our predatory capitalistic system. We need poor immigrants to come into this country on a regular basis to continue to build the economy. We need them to borrow money and make interest payments to keep our money system afloat. We need them to take the dirtiest, hottest, and smelliest jobs at the lowest wages to keep inflation down. Without a constant influx of cheap labor, our economy doesn't grow...that's doom to the current political class controlling the system.

Agreed. Why do we need to expand to virtuallly open borders to accomplish this? Has something changed? @SumKindaMunster

@jackjjackson Birth rates of all Western nations is declining. We just don't have as many kids as we used to, and we need to supplement that with immigration to continue to expand the economy.

One wonders how Japan is doing it...they have a rapidly aging population with hardly any immigration.

I think I read that they are relaxing the rules expanding the birth rate @SumKindaMunster

@SumKindaMunster no. It's not. There's no law against travel like that.

@Changeisgonnacome WRONG!

@SumKindaMunster and if you come as a visitor,and don't get hired in that"yard service" you may enter. Canada requires US people to have enough money for the vacation, and then some. But others don't have to show proof.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Changeisgonnacome That's swell. You see where you are wrong though correct? It's illegal to cross the border without [b]authorization[/b].
Changeisgonnacome · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster at the southern border the rules allowed everyone to enter but long lines helped end the rule of law. These people also had the right to enter freely if they were seeking asylum. The laws seem broken.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Changeisgonnacome Again for the 3rd time it is illegal to knowingly cross the border without some sort of authorization. You are not disputing that with your anecdotes, for all of these things [i]grant[/i] authorization.
Changeisgonnacome · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster no, it's a human right to do so and it's protected under US laws. Nobody expected the rule of law from you.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Changeisgonnacome Whatever mushmouth. You're wrong, I've given you documentation showing you where you are wrong and you just keep going.
