I don't think I'm racist at all. that being said holy shit some of the stuff I've seen you guys post just over the last few days has been pretty eye opening. now I know where this idea that 'everyone is racist' comes from. it's because you're secretly all racist as fuck and I guess you think most people are similar to yourselves.


This is my experience with people who are obsessed with race. The trainer at my last job was a black lady who thought that white people just talked shit about black people constantly while they weren't around, and like, uh, no.

You notice how conservatives wanna protect workers and liberals wanna protect businesses when it comes to illegal immigration?

Spoiler alert: the workers are the immigrants.

With a lack of immigrants doing farm labor (legal or otherwise), crops are literally rotting in the fields because farms can't get people to do the work. It's not "taking jobs away" from citizens if said citizens refuse to take them even when they're wide open. If you don't have a grasp of basic macroeconomics, don't talk about "jobs" like they're a commodity traded on the exchange market. It makes you look silly.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm staunchly opposed to human trafficking across the border. I hate that we have people on both sides of the paycheck screwing the system (albeit the workers are much more sympathetic). But the truth is that we only have so many resources for enforcement. Plenty of them are contributing to society even though they technically shouldn't be here. It's inefficient and ineffective to go after these people, especially the ones who had no choice in the matter (dreamers). Focus on the ones who are actually dangerous, especially the smugglers and "coyotes."

And before Ulti claims that DACA lied about who it helps, put up your resources or shut up.


Right but the arguments are about protecting our legally-here workers

Zebra fish are social animals that make schools. Fish that swim in isolation in a .5% alcohol solution for a little while become more assertive and the school follows them around. When they swim in a 1% solution, they get too drunk to keep up with the school and get left behind.

Cool.

So while I do not have specific numbers, it is generally accepted that illegal immigrants are a net boon to the government's coffers. The reason for this is that they pay taxes (e.g. sales tax, property tax either directly [from owning a home] or indirectly [some of that rent check is going towards that], payroll taxes if they are not being paid under the table [happens a lot -- an employer can honestly say "Well I had no idea he was illegal" because they chose not to ask the question and get away with that, but if they start dodging taxes, Uncle Sam's not gonna be too happy]), but do not have the ability to receive any benefits (as a lazy example, you can't get Social Security without a valid SSN).

As for roads, this comes down to economics of scale. A road takes more wear and tear from one winter than it does from a year of cars, for instance, and having more people does not increase the amount of roads necessary by a proportionate amount. There will always have to be a single well-maintained road through the desert no matter how many people live in the surrounding areas, for instance. While that may seem reductionary, there's a lot of open space in this country punctuated by spread-out population centers, so that's a really large percentage of the roads.

And I should probably stop editing posts a hundred times but YOU CAN'T STOP ME.


I've looked around and it seems like the costs and benefits are kind of all over the place. I found a cool site that shows a whole bunch of pro and con arguments along with their sources, so I'll probably be looking through that.

i guess people sort of start with what they can see. kind of explains why people in the states that accept the most federal aid tend to vote against federal aid- they see more being drained than being replaced and make those negative associations with the system


Yeah probably, that would make sense if they're focusing on the ones who are already net costs

exactly. I don't have a problem with the government spending money but before agreeing to take on a cost we should at least know what it is. And we have resources that can combat global poverty more efficiently than our social infrastructure.

i think you may want to take a step back and think about how you ended up with your gut on one side from the start

it's a pretty interesting experience

like obviously reading between your lines you have a basic assumption that all people are leeches upon society


All I have is an awareness of all the ways I've spent the government's money. Looking at the things I have access, to they cost a lot. It's not a BAD thing when people take out more than they put in. It's the entire point of our infrastructure, that people who can't be productive enough to meaningfully contribute to it can still, say, have a smart phone and internet and air conditioning and transportation. Not everyone can be a doctor or lawyer or engineer, but lawfully residing in the US makes it way easier to live comfortably than most places.
I don't know if granting all those privileges to as many people as come over is sustainable, and knowing what those costs are is a really important step to answering that question.

How much does it cost to have one person here? I mean, do we actually know the costs involved? I suspect a lot of our population costs more to the country than they put in. We've got 11.3 million people in the US illegally, which means 10.5 million more than the DACA people.

How much wear and tear on our roads is that?
How much extra food and fuel subsidy does the government pay?
How much does the government have to pay in police and teachers?
How much does the government pay in accounting and data science and advertising and other public employees?
How much does the government have to pay for emergency services in case of accidents and injuries?
How much does the government have to pay for chronic illnesses like diabetes or HIV?
How much does that cost in food stamps or other kinds of welfare?
How much does that cost our water treatment plants and power grids and garbage dumps?
How much does that cost in cleaning rivers and roads?
What impact does that amount of competition for jobs and housing have on wages and housing prices?
How much money leaves the US and goes to their home countries?

I'm just asking because these are really important questions that I haven't heard any numbers on. I'd be a lot more open to the idea that they should be allowed to stay if I had any idea what the costs involved are.



Realize that 0 of these people would be here if there werent an economic need for them to be here.

How badly would the economy tank if there were no one to fill the manual labor jobs these people fill?

How many bigoted 'business majors' would have to live in their parents basement because their employer no longer made enough money to hire them.

What amount of our tourism industry would simply wither and die?


According to this:
www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/27/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/
the industry with the highest amounts of unauthorized workers are farming and construction with 26% and 15%. Would replacing that portion with legal residents really cause that much economic instability? I mean it's better for the employers, but if a company is running on such a tight budget that their undocumented workforce is the difference between success and failure they're almost certainly doomed anyway.
How much of our tourism industry is a result of illegal immigration?

I mean like seriously I'm just asking how much extra they cost our infrastructure and it's like you're afraid the answer is gonna be really high so you just avoid the question.

It's not punishment to kick out trespassers and they don't stop being trespassers just because they've been here a while. There's a reason there's a process to get access to the money that government spends on people. And the population of 340,000,000 people can work on more than one issue at once.

Avoiding asking questions we need the answers to because they may hurt someone's fee fees is a great way to make existing problems worse.

The government spends more on services than they otherwise would to accommodate these 11.3 million people. And everyone spends a lot of the government's money. How much? It's possible these numbers are small enough that every immigrant is profitable and there's no reason to turn anyone away but I don't even know how many digits long these numbers are.

They're trespassing and making it harder for similarly-skilled lawful residents to get jobs. Where's your empathy for the people they're displacing?


They're not displacing anybody, nobody has been forced out of America because of these people's presence. And as for making it harder to create jobs? Demand creates jobs, and when you push people out of the country, demand will go down.


People have been passed over for employment because someone from outside the US is willing to do it for cheaper because it's better than whatever is in their home country. And when there's a higher supply of interchangeable workers, the price for that labor goes down.

Again, you support deporting a bunch of people who did not even choose to come to this country, yet this is now their home they're being forced to leave it. And your justification is actually thinking that this will cause low-wage companies to offer more money to American citizens. It's a pipe dream. It simply doesn't work that way. You're fooling yourself if you believe for one instance that a wage increase would come on the back of this, federally enforced or by company choice.


Cutting the supply of labor certainly won't decrease its cost, and may increase it. It will also cause there to be less competition for jobs.

Do you have a source that shows that low-skilled and interchangeable labor is somehow an exception to the law of supply and demand?

So like, burger flipper at McDonalds making $8/hr is fine. Burger flipper at McDonalds making $6/hr, which is less than minimum wage, is not fine. McDonald's hiring an illegal immigrant to flip burgers for $6/hr is not fine because they're using the fact that the illegal immigrant has no recourse to save money for themselves, to the direct detriment of whichever legally-here person would have gotten that job at minimum-or-higher wage.

1) what's "crappy wages" is subjective.
2) ...why is it necessarily "not good" to pay people "crappy wages"? i think it's entirely reasonable that a fucking burger flipper at mcdonald's doesn't make lots of money. if you want more money, get a better job.


It's not good to take advantage of the fact that people in compromised situations have limited recourse to pay wages that are below market rate.

Reducing the supply of labor increases the price of labor. That's good for workers. Removing all the people who are here illegally is a good way to reduce the supply of labor. And it's not punishment to prevent people from using a privilege they don't have a right to.

I mean, tough? Every country's borders are the result of "stealing land." We accept immigrants when they're gonna be good for the country as a whole. A lot of people come in and use more social services than the value they contribute, and decrease the value for the existing population overall by making our social infrastructure cover more people than it's designed for.

Unskilled labor used to provide a lot of value for the employer. All those unskilled and repetitive factory jobs that robots do now used to be like $18/hr. But now the labor market is such that unskilled immigrant labor drives wages down for the poorest legal citizens. The US shouldn't have to babysit the entire world.

What number of immigrants do you think the US can support? What criteria should we use for determining whether someone who just hops a fence gets to stay?

Needing memory cards to play games lmfao.


This is a comment on the games, not the system. You can make an XBOne or PS4 game that requires a memory card to play if you make it require terabytes of storage. They're just saying that some games are big.

box of kraft mixed with some sliced up hot dogs or smoked sausage is a full meal

I do both of those! I just eat the hot dogs and sausage separately because I like mustard more than I like the mix.


Mustard and fake cheese taste really good together

I straight-up disagree with this statement, but I can at least see why you think so


The flavor profile I had in mind while writing this was cheeseburger pizza.

It was very important to bump this topic for this reason

two weeks looks like it'll still need boats.

latest update is a horror story one:
they're about to release the floodgates to the reservoirs around Houston onto what's essentially solid land. the bayous are completely flooded, there's nothing left to guide the water, meaning it's going to be an uncontrolled release.

this might be happening 1-2 hours ahead of schedule.
if it happens, a lot of people are about to die.


What? Source?

You gave a polite rejection and she is telling you that she's picking up what you're putting down. Y'all aren't gonna get coffee.

Pretty scary stuff. If we can't trust the lgbt who can we turn to?


Antifa isn't a queer organization, they're anarcho-communists (mostly). I think calling them all trans was a joke about their SJW-y-ness. There are probably more trans people in Antifa than the general population but they're probably not a significant portion.

I had nothing to do with that, the topic was about how it's safer to be trans than I thought, and then people started talking about antifa
