Cum Laude Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 To all the open border advocates, I would like to ask what you think of MS-13? These guys love open borders. Here is just another example of the anguish caused by the open border policies enacted by the Democrat/Republican Cabal. All is fine, as long as this isn't your neighborhood, eh? What should be done with these violent gang bangers who are here illegally. Oh, and they are moving into Canada. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/03/nyregion/they-keep-finding-bodies-gang-violence-in-long-island-town-fuels-immigration-debate.html?_r=0 Quote

eyeball Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Yup. The trick is knowing what you're talking about. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Moonlight Graham Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Open borders is ridiculous. Canada is a special club. 6+ billion people shouldn't have the right to live here. We need medical checks, criminal history checks, and the ability to control who comes in for what's in the best interests of Canadians and NOT the rest of the world who haven't lifted a finger to BUILD this country, who haven't fought and risked their lives defending this country. Canada isn't an international airport hotel. If we had open borders, Canadian culture would be almost wiped out. With 1.3 billion Chinese and 1.2 billion Indians out there, these groups would quickly dominate our demographics and our official languages would be changed to Chinese and Hindi within time. No I'm not exaggerating. The movement of people from Syria into European countries would look like a trickle. Then you'd have civil unrest because traditional Canadians would fight back to reclaim what was theirs. The Brexit would look like a slumber party.

The_Squid Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 What is open borders, anyway? Good question. I don't see anyone advocating for this. Quote

Argus Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Good question. I don't see anyone advocating for this. I would suggest Michael Hardner does.

Machjo Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 For me, open borders are a religious matter: Love thy neighbour as thyself. My own private property aside, who am I to decide who comes to Canada? Helping them financially might be another matter, but as long as a person is self-sufficient, let him have at her. If you have money to support yourself and can find a job, welcome, brother. Welcome sister. Quote With friends like Zionists, what Jew needs enemies?

Machjo Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. I Corinthians 12:13 If there is no difference between a Jew or a gentile, a bond or free, then what's the difference between a Canadian, a Chinese, and an Indian? No, Canadians are no more special than anyone else. We're one global family. Quote With friends like Zionists, what Jew needs enemies? With friends like Islamists, what Muslim needs enemies?
Cum Laude Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 Good question. I don't see anyone advocating for this. Are illegal immigrants not taking advantage of open borders. Open borders exist on the Mexico/USA border. Where have you been lately. We're taken here. Quote

Yeah right "who am I to decide", but then "as long as a person is self sufficient blah blah.....have money blah, blah." Which is it? Quote

When were you last in Texas or Arizona? Illegals are taking advantage of the open/porous border. But I guess you know all sitting atop your perch in Keebec. Quote
Machjo Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 It can easily be both. We let him in, but if he can't support himself, that's when homeless shelters and food banks kick in. It's not up to the government to keep him out. He has a right to be given a chance to fend for himself without us tying his hands behind his back. Besides, if things don't turn out so well for him, he'll want to go back home of his own accord anyway. When he asks to be returned, we can happily do so.

Guest Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 I wouldn't mind being returned. For a couple of weeks over the Christmas period. Then maybe for another couple of weeks next Summer. Who do I see for that? Quote
Machjo Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 Or if we insist on some kind of control, then it must be for a valid reason. For example, anyone should be allowed to work or do business in Canada without a visa. The idea behind this is that we're not talking about supporting him, but rather allowing him to support himself. If he's not a burden on anyone else and is working, then who am I to deny him his opportunity. An extra taxpayer and consumer. All around good for the economy. And if he does well and wants to become a permanent resident or citizen later, that's another step, but to just work and do business, what is the legitimate argument against it? Quote With friends like Zionists, what Jew needs enemies? With friends like Islamists, what Muslim needs enemies?
Machjo Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 That's already the case. When a person arrives at the border, if he's turned away, the government does not pay for the man's seat. The airlines swallow the cost. All that would happen in this case is instead of being sent back right away, he'd try to find work for a few days, fail to do so, and then be sent back. Whether we send him back on the same day or later, what's the difference in cost to the airline? Nada. But at least we gave him his chance. Plus, in the first scenario, he might try again. In the second scenario, afterbeing given a chance and failing to find work, he now knows that for him, it's not worth it, so less likely to try again.

?Impact Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 Many Canadians apparently believe in open borders....they illegally overstay their visas in the United States more than any other nationals, including Mexicans. You continually repeat that, perhaps you should look up who illegally overstays their visas in Canada more than any other nation. I looked it up, and surprise, surprise, it is Americans. Quote
Machjo Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 Americans are also most guilty from working in Canada without authorization to do so. Surprise, surprise. That said, I do think the law ought to be changed to allow it, but only for ethical business. No sex work for example. Quote With friends like Zionists, what Jew needs enemies?

I looked it up, and surprise, surprise, it is Americans. Then Canada should do something about it. American illegals should be deported, without exception. Far more Canadians illegally overstay in the United States. Far more Canadians cross the U.S. border each year than Americans going to Canada, yet it only has 10% of the population size.
