How is saying those are good consistent with u saying that government is awesome when it doesn't do much to benefit people Proud is one of those "government is awesome when it's tyrannical in my favor" people. You really should have figured that out by now. I mean is it tyrannical "in my favor" if it's doing what it was intended to do all along a la the Constitution and the general charter of the American government? Preservation of national security, border control, preserving individual rights including property rights, etc. Immigration is harmless, in a vacuum. Unfortunately, between a nigh welfare-state and being used as a means to undermine minimum wages (which is itself another flamewar), it's not a vacuum. Right. Ultimately uncontrolled immigration benefits the politicians who promise to increase the welfare state, because they can import more voters and cement their own position. Nothing tyrannical about acknowledging that and advocating for enforcing existing rules and being smart about how many people we let in, etc. --- Do good. Eat communists. <cite>FLUFFYGERM posted [p:913343049] in LOL at Cal...
