The U.S. should build a fence on its southern border in order to reduce illegal immigration.

"Anyways, the only reason..." True but it's illegal because there's too many negatives to an open border. That's why it's illegal. Obviously not, My argument was People still can come. Not everyone because letting everyone come legally would increase crime. It's better to let people come legally as they are now for security reasons. No the study... Did you even read the link? It had nothing to do with racism. No, what I'm saying... Legal immigration could handle this same "problem." You still haven't proved to me why ILLEGAL immigration is better than LEGAL immigration. That's what I'm doing,... You really aren't disproving why the current illegal immigrant is better than a legal immigrant. I have presented to you the reasons an open border would be bad. You aren't disproving me. There's always a way for people to make money. I'm asking you to show me how bad unemployment was before the illegals came to America and supposedly made it all better. If a convicted terrorist So under your plan terrorists could just freely walk in? Great! We'd get to celebrate 9/11 every day under your plan. Maybe we are paranoid. Hypocrites I don't know. The reason we're paranoid is because of things like 9/11. We let the terrorists come in legally. So we cracked down on immigration policies because of this. Are you completely ignorant... I wasn't talking about citizenship policies. I was talking about crossing over legally. 7 years in the United States as an immigrant is legal if he does it right. And waiting in line for 3 days only to be denied? I seriously doubt this happens often. Your link proved your point but drug dealers could come just as easy from the Mexican border. And cussing is a real mature, Christian way to handle this debate LR4. The current economic slump I never said it was due to illegals. I said Shoudn't the illegals be helping like you say. Obviously those "plenty of Mexicans" aren't enough to fill the jobs. Yeah, those... I'm not saying Mexican influence is bad. I'm saying that 3% rate over time will jump up to 6%, then 12, 24, and before you know it, the US is a completely Mexican culture. There goes the melting pot. Eventually, this kind of thing will happen if we don't regulate immigration. Stagflation That's what I'm saying. If Europe's economy is being helped so much by open borders the stagflation problem should be mending. Like I said the reason the EU works is because all members have agreed to it. Everyone trusts each other so it works. That's why an open border with Canada works. We trust Canada more than Mexico because Mexico (unfortunately) has shown us they don't accept us. You see them hanging our flag upside-down and putting their flag in our place. This kind of thing will continue with open borders. I'm not racist against them, the problem is they have shown us they can't be trusted. If they came over legally a lot of these problems would be solved. And like I said, we trust Canada more than Mexico. I'm not saying it's right, but Mexico has shown us they can't be trusted. A border fence would most probably reduce a lot of these problems. The first is an interview... The first said he was not impressed by Jason Riley. The last part of that page was the interview. The first part was reasons why he was wrong. The second was a refutation and had nothing to do with drugs. He could already... So you're telling me he's going to go to the Mexican shore, take a boat which costs money, drive the boat to Canada, then attack us? I'm not saying he won't do that, but a border fence certainly would help. Fact: We also need to regulate our sea traffic better. That's for a different debate, but since Canada is an open border, people will come from Mexico as well if we completely open the border. And your solution is to legalize drugs? So everyone can smoke, do "pot", "weed", marijuana. That's for a different debate but it's not a good solution. Why don't we just legalize stealing, rape, and murder, so everybody can be happy. This is not a solution, this is a problem. Evidence: It didn't provide evidence on our unemployment rates going down from illegals. It gave an opinion on what they think might happen, but certainly not evidence. I want a link that indisputably proves that illegal immigrants are without a doubt helping us. Unless you like arguing I'm not talking about Newsweek, I'm talking about the DOI. The DOI will fix this problem. You gave no proof the Minutemen hate Mexicans, ergo you're wrong. http://www.minutemanproject.com... "Most of these are potential negatives," That's the whole point. I'm seeing if you can prove me wrong. Since you didn't though... "or things that wouldn't occur" Can you prove to me these things wouldn't occur? A note to anyone who is voting. LR4... here has failed to disprove a single one of my 21 points. These points indefinitely stand since he failed to refute them. LR4... I hope you have a great vacation, and I hope you get to respond. Yours truly, ChristianDebater
