I really think that people shouldn't be kept from passing through contry's borders freely. I mean, the "illegal" immigrants have no negative effect on the economy, if anything, they contribute more with cheap labor. They're also human beings, and deserve to be respected as all the regular citizens are. They deserve every bit of rights and opportunities we get. The sheer disrespect and hate they get is really sickening. More people = bigger economy = more money and jobs for everyone.
You really think people's opinions are swayed that easily? Posting an opinion by itself with no evidence will almost never change someone's mind not that evidence helps all that much either . Uneducated people will almost certainly stick to whatever opinion they already have. If they don't yet have an opinion they are probably just as likely to believe the "troll" as the person who is "correct"
A lot of economists actually view illegal immigrants as helpful to the economy. Obviously not everyone agrees, and it depends on the number of immigrants we're talking about, but no need to write him off as trolling just because he shares an unpopular, but completely valid opinion. inb4 red thumbs for standing up for post red thumbed to hell, I don't agree with the view just recognize that there are those who share it.
OK I see that this guy is usually a troll but I still stand by my comments. Even if he was trolling, his maybe fake opinion isn't wrong. It's just one that most people disagree with insert unpopular opinion.jpg
Yup. Except working cheaper than the and without paying taxes they occupy all the entry level jobs that the lowest common denominator of the native population say college kids and rednecks relied on. I mean capitalism heck yeah but still....
Everyone thinks you're a troll, but I work with people who hold would agree with you so I'm going to take it at face value.
Cheap labor is not good. It's great if you own the business, because you can hire more people, and pay them next to nothing, and they'll take the pay because it's better than what they're used to getting. If you agree that illegal immigrants being taken advantage of is a good thing, then yeah, it's also great. Minimum wage exists for a reason though.
Human beings? Yes. Deserving of human rights? Yes. Deserving of getting them here? No. People deserve to be treated like people, and that's not really disputable. The fact that they aren't treated like humans is pretty **** , and there isn't anything we can do about it. (RIGHT NOW) IF the US can fix it's unemployment problem, it's education problem, it's world police problem, and it's money wasting problem we can start letting more people immigrate, but they're going to have to do it legally.
More people doesn't mean you have a larger economy, it means you have more people participating in the economy. (OK, yes. Technically, that means you have a bigger economy, but it doesn't give you a better economy) Right now we don't have an abundance of jobs floating around. We have fewer jobs than we have citizens and that's a very bad thing. Most countries can sustain an unemployment number of about 5% indefinitely without much of a problem. The official unemployment number for the US is about 5.5% witch is respectable, but not correct. It doesn't include the individuals labeled 'discouraged job seekers' when you include these people into the equation our unemployment is more like 11%.
11% unemployment is not sustainable. Bringing in more unskilled labor isn't going to help the number of unemployed. Bringing in educated, and skilled workers will help the unemployment numbers, because those people will open businesses of their own and create jobs.
Now, I would like to address a couple of the problems we have and then explain how I would fix them because I feel like it. Then I'm going to go to bed.
1: Illegal immigrants coming to the US, having a kid, and then becoming citizens themselves. The commonly used term is 'anchor baby'.
Yeah, children are a wonderful miracle that change the lives of the parents forever. Some people have a kid so that they can become citizens. It's not cool. The common argument from the Republicans is that they should all be sent back to wherever they came from, and the Democrats want to give them all citizenship. I don't think the parents should be given citizenship. The child is a US citizen, and that's not disputable. The parents, for whatever reason, had a child in the US, that doesn't mean they should be allowed to stay. That's like a homeless couple having a kid on your front porch and deciding they should be allowed to live in your house.
Public housing:
Build the public housing within eye sight of the gated communities where the politicians live. If it's not a problem as they claim, they should be fine. If it does in fact breed violence to put a bunch of unemployed, poor, under educated people in the same neighborhood, and then leave them to do their own thing, I'll bet they'll figure out how to fix the problem before they get shanked on their way home from congress.
The war on drugs:
Cops need drug dealers to keep their jobs, and drug dealers need cops to drive up the price of their product. It's a disgusting dependent bond. We saw the same thing happening during prohibition, and today, with counties that remain dry. You want to fix the drug problem? Do what Portugal did. Decriminalize the stuff and treat it like a medical issue. Their drug overdose rate doped like a brick as soon as they decided to do that, and other countries that have toyed with the idea have seen similar change.
In closing: Follow the money. The government does everything it can to maximize the amount of money it takes in. Just like a business.
Technically, no. He's a troll, or a " *********** ". Basically, he's comment something really ******* stupid to get people irritated, then he thrives off of the negative comments he gets. You probably have him a ******* hard on with how hard you tried.
Well good for him. There are people out there that believe in what he's shoveling. What I gave him wasn't a negative comment, it was a list of things I believe he's wrong about. Trying hard would have been looking up facts, and providing links to sources, and doing work. All I did was vent. Venting isn't hard. If he gets an erection from it then he get's an erection what do I care?
Basically this plug goes around and spams that pic across my comments, and he's probably on a large percentage of my 368 comments. It's not worth arguing with people like him because they don't know how to really see another side of a situation in life. I don't get a hard on from responses, nor do I get it from red thumbs, I just find it hilarious when people like him get butthurt that I'm intelligent enough to form a false opinion that either makes people rage or starts an intelligent debate, such as your response would have.
Guy has been trying for months to get people to stop replying to me or thumbing down my posts, and the responses he usually gets are overwhelmingly, "No". You think he's going to care what you have to say, or what your opinion is? Nah, he just cares about making sure i disappear because he gets butthurt that maybe I have a different way of having fun that he doesn't understand and lacks the intellectual insight to even try to understand.
If you (sticky...) read this, just remember I got a look at your profile before you blocked me. Dont you, a 27 year old, have better things to do than get pissed off at a troll? Or people that reply to me? Maybe try to do something with your life instead of sadly telling me to slit my wrists. From what it seems, you aren't very clever, so maybe get a job that's a little simpler, like stocking shelves or something. YOU are the real cancer to the site, quit spamming **** and let people have their fun.
Illegal immigrants get paid once they get here, they get welfare checks to sit on their asses, but actual American citizens are unemployed and broke as **** doing the same thing unless they're disabled.
Illegal immigrants that actually contribute to society by getting a job accept lower wages, hiring them instead of U.S. citizens, immigrants steal work from U.S. citizens and only make the unemployment percentage higher.
This is bait, but man am I angry.
being cheap labour is exagtly what ruins the economy, it also deprives jobs from the ones born and raised in the country who needs it more than illegals that cowardly flees from their own home
Of course they don't. If anything, all the replies the *********** gets brings more attention to their post. So content posters are jaded and a lost cause. That's why I'm in the comments, instead of privately messaging people.
More and more people seem to agree with the dumb **** I've been doing (I know it's different people each time because I check who thumbs up), and the mods haven't done anything about me spamming yet. I'm just doing my part, and the best way to do yours is literally by not acknowledging him. At all.
I'd do the same were it not for the users who are HORRIBLE at detecting trolls.
You're not wrong, but look at the vast majority of replies. And look at the longest replies.
The ones who agree can be passed of as either trolls or idiots. They typically get ignored anyways. The comments that express irritation however, are not only the most abundant in these threads, but they're the ones that encourage him to ********* even more.
If it really does attract idiots, then so be it. If nobody is disagreeing with the *********** , they'll have no reason to post. At least, that's what I think.
Been blocked by almost every major poster, guy. You think that's made a difference? No. And like that guy said, trolls are basically a vaccine for the retards that actually think that way. You want a site filled with those retards like reddit and tumblr? What was that? No? Let the FJ community do its part, have its fun, and even blow off its steam.
I barely comment, anyway. I've only made 368 comments, yet Im -400. It's not that the people on the site are stupid, it's just that my comments look legitimate.
(note that i will only be talking about the Mexico-US boarder in this case, as that's all i have personal experience in and i dont want to talk about, say, the inverse cultural assimilation and take over in Sweden, although i do know a lot about it i dont have any personal experience with it so its all hearsay)
yeah lets just allow hunted criminals escape from country to country with no regulation,
lets just allow the people who couldnt be productive in another country in any way come and not be productive in our country
if you want to live under the old assumption that labor is USEFUL in any way right then be my delusional guest
"they dont take our jobs, they just take the jobs that no one wants"
No they provide ultra cheap under the table labor that you cant have with a us citizen, they provide the ****** up job market that we have where any media or jokes about jobs is something along the line of "haha i would literally chop off my limbs to get a job " and that should give you an idea of how ****** or job market is.
Just a quick search of "homeless rates" and #5 in homeless people was Mexico city, and # ******* 3 was los angeles.
YEAH LETS JUST LET PEOPLE FLEE FROM A CITY WITH HIGH AS **** HOMELESS RATES TO A CITY WITH EVEN HIGHER HOMELESS RATES, THAT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
No, why would Serbs suddenly invade Hungary? Those are Muslims, mostly from Syria, and they are coming to Hungary trough Serbia. They are trying to get to northern Europe.
Well... Conditions aren't exactly superb in Serbia, work etc. like the Irish coming to america.
But yeah, i think i heard some news wrong when i was watching TV earlier.
Conditions used to be much worse in the 90s (war), but even then it didn't happen. And Irish coming to America was nothing like this situation with Syrian refugees. Hundreds of thousands of middle easterners are trying to illegally go trough Hungary, to get to northern European countries. That's why a fence was set on Hungarian border, but it's not working.
Wasn't referring to the Syrians as the Irish, but Serbs.
But yeah i get it, it's the easterners.
Only way to really solve it is to go to war against IS i guess.
I am from Serbia,and Serbs used to come to Hungary pretty much to buy stuff, cheap but excellent food etc.Now damn immigrants flooded the border,Hungarians built a wall and no more vajkrem and fantastic sausages.
I'm a Venezuelan and I ******* hate my country. I don't feel that "national feeling", that attachment to my country every other person feels. Everything is too expensive, there are not too many graphic design jobs because people don't want to pay (I'm a graphic designer), the salary is less than a dollar or something like that, there is nothing to do here, I can't get out because I will get mugged or murdered, depends on the perpetrator's mind.
I'm doing plans on getting out of the country, legally, by following the law step by step, but I'll say this: if I was going illegally in the United States or any other country I would help however I can to make that country better or contribute in any way. It enrages me that there are people who walk away from their country and when they arrive to their destiny they act like they're in the same country they were before. It's like " **** man, you got out of the country, there's no way you could like it there, why act like you're still in it?"
My brother has been there illegally for years now and I don't understand why the **** he's such a vague, lazy person, he's like… Some DJ that only goes to parties and drink… That's the kind of people who make immigrants look bad and that makes angry.
I agree. If you want to emigrate to another country, it has to be a win-win situation.
You will get a better life and better job, but that country must get a productive worker that will improve its economy. Remember, they didn't ask you to come, you choose to go.
I hear a lot of times people say that migrants will steal their jobs. But the thing is, if you go to another country and become a productive element you will do the exact opposite: you will create new jobs.
what system? they pay sales tax, property tax, whatnot tax. The only thing that a lot of them don't pay is income tax and income tax is ******** anyways
This is wrong and completely unacceptable! The first part of your sentence uses a singular tense while the second part uses a plural tense. Consider removing the "an" and adding (s) after 'immigrant' so that we know there more than one of them drowning.
