The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Nobody can show us there's a big security problem there...

Regardless of the actual murderers and rapisists - and I, like you, believe those are fewer or the same as natives, per capita, crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor. That IS a security problem. Every little kid or a woman who is crossing "undocumented" are committing a crime nonetheless, likely unwittingly.

We can't have open borders. Ask the Native Americans.

Obviously the legal immigration process is extremely burdensome and needs to be more efficient by 1000% of what it is now.

Also - if the few illegal immigrants who are murderers and rapists (and burglars etc) ate stopped, overall crime will go down even if not per capita, right? At least one 12YO little girl will still be alive. Shouldn't that be a consideration?
