Topic	Some El Paso shooting victims fear seeking medical aid over immigration status
Sahuagin 08/08/19 3:01:00 AM #45:	Mead posted... The fact is though that law enforcement chooses which laws to enforce and when to enforce them all the time usually that is for trivial or inconsequential infractions, like driving a few mph over the speed limit or something. the equivalent of that for immigration would be something like staying a few days or weeks more than 6 months in the country out of a year. staying in the country for years upon years without actually immigrating is the egregious version of breaking this rule, not the trivial version. Mead posted... Does it really benefit the country to spend a bunch of money to separate them from their families, detain them for who knows how long, and then deport them back to the place they fled originally? I don't know, but just because it might seem harsh in the short-term doesn't mean it's a bad idea when looking at the long-term. borders exist for a reason. the immigration process exists for a reason. the citizens of a country have a right to their own country and not to have it invaded by foreigners. it also makes sense to at times loosen and at times tighten border restrictions. I think that people should focus on improving their own countries. fleeing your country to go join the supposedly utopian USA only hurts your own country, and is not a solution to the world's problems. (inadequately informed rampant speculation warning) I think there are a lot of countries that could do so much better if their citizens could turn things around. some primary reasons they can't are culture and education related, and the internet should slowly help smoothen out issues of culture and education in the very long term. it's almost a given, I think (not that I know anything about this), that places like especially Africa, and maybe India will eventually overtake the USA or at least start to compete with them. I particularly envision an African superpower in 100+ years, but who knows. Once education and technology really start to take hold in some places, which they quickly are, there's going to be a lot of unforseen changes for the better in the future (notwithstanding China and Russia messing everything up). --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* https://imgur.com/GMouTGs http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:925783449] in Some El Pa...
