You just don't understand the analogy.
If it's unreasonable to believe that a Household can survive economically if the Property Owner can't control the number of mouths it must feed and bodies it must clothe and care for, then how can a nation? Everything is Finite. Just Wanting to be able to provide for others doesn't make it a reality.
Unless the jobs exist to allow people to provide for themselves, they are forced to become burdens on society. It doesn't matter where they are from or what they Would choose, just like in the inner cities where Opportunity is lacking, they are unable to provide for themselves.
It's not Hate, or Fear.
It's just economic Reality.


If it’s that dire, for them, we owe it to mankind to assist them in their homelands

Fear? What's fear? Is looking at a policy and seeing how stupid and injurious it is fear? Or smart?
Do we, as a nation, have enough babies to maintain the population?
I don't think so, since the Cost of having a child got so high and we abort so many.
Does that mean we should allow just anyone who can get across the border to stay?
No.
Is it Fear to want border and immigration control or just good sense?
Do you have a door on your house?
Do you control it?
Are you living in fear
Or just using good sense?



seeing a policy if flawed and then logically explaining why you believe so is fine.

fear is when you start using hyperbole and analogies to explain how terrible the policy is, instead of discussing the issue, you call it names.

I have a door and lock on my house because I'm AFRAID my stuff will get stolen, not because I'm afraid someone will be there when I get back.

I believe our current immigration laws could be enforced better. I do not believe that we need to change them to keep more people out.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

We are not a great country because we only take the best, we are a great country because we strive to elevate the worst.   that is the American Ideal

IDEALS are great.
Economic reality is what Wise people operate on.
Setting national policy based on what some poet wrote Might not be that bright.
The Door thing is an ANALOGY.
what YOU personally are concerned with isn't part of the Concept.
If you Do find people in your house who you Now must care for because you've been careless about how you control the number of people who live in your house, then your family's standard of living goes down
It's just economic law.

Lost, you bring up a verse heralding it’s greatness that is time sensitive in context, as is the 14th amendment, as the 2nd, re: right to bear arms....

Times change, our thinking should as such.

so wise people don't operate based on their ideals?  really?  so wise people have no integrity then? so next time I hear people spout off about how smart and wise Trump is, I should just remember that he doesn't have any ideals then. got it.

but what YOU personally believe is part of the concept huh?  You believe they are bringing crime, drugs and rape and murder here, despite the stats and facts that they aren't doing any of those things anymore than anyone else already here does them. You're afraid of losing "your" country to them? but are okay losing it to "better qualified" immigrants....  

idk, I think you have a harder time being consistent with your ideals than I do with mine, and that's a problem, for you

I have MY ideals and of course I live accordingly. I DON'T allow some poet to outline, For ME, what I believe to be Workable ideals.

Your assertion that the illegal immigrants are no more likely to be arrested, convicted and imprisoned are interesting. Please show me what you based that on.

If you want to assemble a team, do you walk down the street and grab the first people you see or do you hunt the most QUALIFIED you can find?
How do you expect America to be the place where you want to be If America is made up of people who don't have the desire and ability to be a productive member of that team?
Did you miss the part where I SAID I believe immigration is necessary?

Why not VET the people who want in?
If they have the ability to Be brought into the fold and show a willingness, fine.
You're moving the goalposts.
Did you miss the part where I SAID I believe immigration is necessary?

Only addressing the part you want and ignoring the rest is disingenuous.

if I ignore the rest, that means I don't have any response to it or don't see anything wrong with that part...     how exactly do you want me to address that? do you want a cookie for those points?     Tongue

um,I thought they were vetted, there is red tape to get into this nation, it's not an easy pass. I mean legal immigration not illegal. There are requirements for visas, etc...  if you want to talk about what those  should be, you'll have to list what the current ones are cause I'm not really all that familiar with them, but they do exist, so some vetting is happening

So you Did miss the part about immigration being necessary.
This Whole Topic is about
NOT controlling the Borders and Not forcing the immigrants Through the Vetting process of Legal Immigration.
It's About Illegal Immigrants.
Legal immigrants knock on the door, and get the door opened to them.

From one of the links..

ay taxes they may never recover. Most work for large employers that withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes. That money helps keep the system solvent.

Q: Does the influx of so many people willing to work for low pay bring down wages and make it tougher for me to find a job?

Well, that depends on who you are. If you’re a member of the upper class or the middle class, undocumented immigrants should have little or no effect on your wages. But if you’re a lower-class high school dropout, then, yes, immigrants (legal and illegal) may bring your wages down a bit—by less than 10 percent, most likely.

As for whether immigrants throw American citizens out of work, the evidence seems to suggest that though they no doubt displace some people from jobs, their presence here also creates jobs, as immigrants buy clothing, eat out at restaurants, and sign cell phone contracts. And if their cheap labor wasn’t available, some employers would probably invest in automation rather than pay people higher wages.

Let's analyze that,,
But first

what team are you assembling??? Team 'MERICA!  F-YEAH!    and it depends on what that "team" is doing? picking apples, oranges, peaches etc.....   you want them to have a ph.d for that.

The team I would assemble is the same kind of team that built America.
No, I never suggested that everyone needs a degree. That's ridiculous and a product of another administration.
It's not reasonable that even the majority be college educated. LOOK at the things that need done. From truck drivers and mechanics to oil and brakes, food service, cashiers, secretary, look at the people who you meet every day who are not college educated AND we all Need those people. Not everyone WANTS a white collar job. I didn't.
So, your snark is not working.

Now, about the above part.
What do you see there that detracts from the pro immigration policy?
I will point it out later.

the quote thing is making this super long and annoying so, here's the part I'm going to respond to right now.


"Now, about the above part.

what pro immigration policy are you talking about?   the one the reduces legal immigration by 50%  or the one that doesn't want people from "sh1thole" countries?  or the one building a wall for no good reason but to symbolically discriminate against our southern neighbors?
