Reply to The Libertarian Party: Immigration in Politics JoeUser Forums

I just saw a bit on CNN today about illegal immigrants. It said that 3/4 of them are unskilled and use more in government services than they pay in taxes, to the tune of 10 billion a year and that is federal only. Sorry I don't have any links for you. I haven't read up on this subject since school and the WWW only had about 10,000 page back then.

I do not think the ratio of ten peaceful Muslims in the west, to every one violent Muslim in the Muslim world is quite accurate. Well, there are something like 850 million Muslims in India and Asia and add that to what ever the number is for western (and other) countries. Then compare that number to the

I am surprised to see that the libertarian party is using Tanner's argument for their position. It seems to have a crucial weakness. All of the statistics that are cited do not distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants.

No argument there. But have you read them. Yes, I have been reading them since I was a teen and I love them. I know I am a better person for having read them and I think that this is also true for most people.

Ock, you expressed my view on the subject better than I could have. Thank you. Gideon, if more Christians were like you I wouldn't cringe (internally) everytime someone tried to "turn me on" to "God".

Ock, this is about politics, common sense is irrelevant. Just like i didnt really give a damn that Clinton got his pee-pee sucked, i was concerned when he out and out lied about it. Lieing in politics is such a non-issue. ALL pol

Gideon, some people are just stupid. I know that is an obvious statement to make but it's one that we often have to remind ourselves of in order to understand where some people are coming from. The reason that we forget this and are continually puzzled by some people is because of our own self absorbtion. whole books wou

We would also make them pay restitution to their victims for the damage they've caused, including property loss, medical costs, pain, and suffering. I agree with most of the posistions but I am wary of this one. If someone has just gotten out of prison they most likely have little ability to pay for all
