"Riley walks through the history of German, Irish, and Mexican migrants in rich and compelling detail, deflating nativist hype while also complicating easy narratives about the United States as a mythic destination for all the wretched of the world." I just got done watching this video.. and feel quite blown away. I've never really focused on immigration as a political issue of concern... but after stumbling upon this... I definitely feel enlightened. It is interesting to me that I never related the connection between goods and labor as the same. And now that I do, the free market just makes that much more sense. -------------------- 200 years from now, we will look back and laugh at ourselves for how stupid we were.

Open borders are a great idea...just not a good idea for the US the way things are run now.
We have far to many social programs to afford to take in a unlimited number of immigrants. Free health care, food, shelter, education. Open borders works wonderfully when there is no safety net, you want to come here and work hard, improver the life of yourself and your family? Let me be the first to welcome you...but those that don't want to work hard and just want a free ride are getting it. When there was an influx of of imigrants in the past, those that where lazy free loaders soon starved to death, those that worked hard prospered. A very important difference between open borders of today and of yesterday.

> but those that don't want to work hard and just want a free ride are getting it.
Even worse, those that just want to make money to send back home, removing money from the economy, rather than actually immigrating and adopting a new home. -------------------- Just another spore in the wind.

Yes I agree, the welfare system in general isn't helping at all with this issue. But I find it interesting how the current day American mostly ignores the immigration issues of the past, I admittedly as well. When history is in context... the answer is cut and dry.

If the borders were so wide open in the thirties how come FDR sent a bunch a Jews on a boat to drift at sea rather than let them in? Anybody who thinks there was a wide open border policy in the past is ignorant indeed. They had quotas. And wetbacks.

Quote: I will assume you are reffering to a typical border debate _i_llusion that in the past "America, the colonies, any past incarnation of N. America was somehow more open to immigration? If you're not then sorry, but if you are: This is a funny argument from open border advocates that we are the "meltingpot" for those seeking "streets paved with gold" What those people often neglect to mention is the fact that America has infact been empirically anti-immigration, yes good sir BELIEVE IT. Lets start off with those of reddish color skin, Indians, natives, what ever float your boat. Guess what those people weren't to keen on having white devils come. Some were set agaisnt it from the beggining,others 'matured' to that feeling after some abuse. After the Indians, Europeans. French, Denmark, British, Spain all fought agaisnt each other. Each one of them trying to close "their border" against the other. N.America becomes 13 colonies: The protestants were _definvitely_ dead set agaisnt those damn Catholics coming. You get an idea right? Let's fast forward a bit and think about the Federalists and later Whig parties. Decidedly the Whigs were against Irish-immigrants,infact they campaigned on it " keep America for Americans." Etc.. Etc... Etc... I won't bore you any more, just wanted to make a point that there is NO empirical evidence for a high level of acceptance for immigrants, infact I would say just the opposite for the reasons stated above.

Quote: I suppose the reintroduction of Leprosy, Small Pox, Yellow Fever and shit is a great idea too because those and a host of other diseases are introduced each year when illegals enter the country without going through the normal checks... Quote: but shouldnt it be a 2 way street because I'd love to go to mexico and work hard at building a drug empire, killing thousands of people each year along the borders but the laws of mexico prohibit me from starting a business or owning land, cant grow 9000 acres of marijuana if I cant own the land

Quote: to the contrary, I'm more than willing to school you about the past immigration issues, seems the open borders policy that the first nations had led to more than 6 million murdered through acts of war, terrorism and biological warfare, we should have burned those damned boats with all the men, women and children before they hit plymouth rock open borders have never worked

Quote: Last time I checked small pox is thought to be irradiated except for 2 or 3 vials kept by the US and Russia. Are you advocating that we check each potential immigrant with a clothe-hanger under the eyes like in the old days on liberty island? And yellow fever is transferred through mosquitoes. That said I understand your argument. Don't bring more sick people into the US. Think about this though, if a US citizen has one of those diseases you mention should they be allowed into the US again? Also in Mexico I am pretty sure that it is in fact already illegal to build a drug empire _and/or_ kill thousands of people. As it is in the US. Show me somewhere where it is legal to do one or both of those things and then your 2 way street argument will be golden. Believe it or not but having foreigners buy thousand's of acres of land in your country is not good policy. It's a great way to have your territory annexed. I highly doubt that the US allows Russians and Chinese from buying large chunks of US land continuously. I get frowned alot because of this fact, but I understand it too. Just as we love our country so do those that reside in their own. It's a bitch but you can't win them all.

Quote: well the WHO agrees but apparently they could be wrong, the US has stockpiled enough of the vaccine to inoculate every man woman and child in this country, if there want a fear of the disease why would they need so much of this serum and yes, I advocate a battery of test on anyone entering the country whether a citizen or not, you can see with this new hog flu just how efficiently a disease can spread around the world, illegals have been bringing in their share including TB, virtually eradicated in the US until around 2002 when there was a serious spike, we now have Chagas, with leprosy there have been only 900 reported cases in the US in 50 years, now over 7000 cases in the last 4 years... so while we believe that smallpox was eradicated 30 years ago it may still be in existance in laces other than the CDC, you know, the place that sent Saddam his biological weapons and sends other diseases to anyone with the right papers test everyone entering this country, those that enter illegally should be assumed as a biological threat and destroyed by fire Quote: Quote: if a US citizen has one of those diseases he wouldnt be admitted to the country he was flying to so he'd be stuck here getting treatment or simply dying in quarantine Quote: nothing is truely illegal in latin america, if it were dont you think the mxican police would have nipped it in the bud before it became the border war that it has Quote: Article 27 states, article 27, Constitution of the United Mexican States "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereunto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country." if you really read the constitution, you'll see just how you'll never be a mexican regardless of what you do so you'll never own the land, they'll always take it back Quote: really? because the US has no laws preventing citizens of other countries from buying land, in fact many of the defaulted 'mortgage crisis' loans were given to illegals, there were signs in front of banks advertising that they give loans if the person could provide a TIN number from the IRS http://www.alipac.us/article1676 simply buying up 1 millions acres wont allow china to annex it to be a part of china, that's an absurd notion

Quote: Why? Because the USSR had it too! Come on man, I figure your old enough to remember the cold war? I only read about it but from what I understand it was a pretty damn stressful time. If your arch-enemy has a super-powered biological weapon and you have the cure wouldn't you make damn sure to be prepared, the boysout way? Quote: I doubt this a fully planned thought for one reason. A battery of tests? Regarding what and based on what criteria? I travel alot and believe me if they started to "battery test" people not only would it A) increase the waiting time IMMENSELY but be a severe violation of my rights. Fuck me being battery tested, if I want to go back to my country I have a _right_. Quote: This has always been status quo. Disease has ALWAYS spread easily, DOES spread easily and furthermore WILL spread easily. As they say "It's the nature of the disease." Quote: Unsure about this but am willing to bet it is not soley cause by illegals. Have you ever been tested by the way? It takes a few days (and is a simple test). Imagine blocking everyone till they test negative? Quote: Chances are we have always had it and even if we didn't we would get it "Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to animals and humans by reduviid bugs, a particular type of insect found only in the Americas. "source Quote: Ok? Quote: Yea, well I agree. There is such a thing as bad people and bad countries. That's why we must maintain ourselves as the hegemonic global leader and more over be the right ones to be that leader. Quote: Oh come on now... Destroyed by fire? What kind of statement is that? Sorry but I believe each human life is precious (And no I am not some hippy peace loving liberal activist.). A witch hunt will NOT help us. Guess what we already have multiple witch hunts. War on Drugs/Terrorism/Poverty/Racism/S Quote: Fair enough quote I suppose... Fine back then in the Civil War they had small pox. I agree. I also agree that a MEDICAL Civil War book would be a prime good case to have small pox scabs in it. Makes sense if you analyze it, doesn't it? Quote: if a US citizen has one of those diseases he wouldnt be admitted to the country he was flying to so he'd be stuck here getting treatment or simply dying in quarantine Huh? False and wrong on many levels. This is fiating (pre-supposing) that the US citizen is being tested before he enters said country (which has never, ever ever, happend to me. As I said I am a frequent traveller.)Not only that but I have a _right_ to enter my country EVEN IF I have AIDS/HIV/TB. And guess what? Current reality and history agree with me. US citizens with herpes are not barred from leaving or entering this country. Niether are people with AIDS/HIV/Flu/Swine Flu/Bird Flu/Cancer. Quote: Quote: Sorry bud, but I can speak from 1st hand expierince. ALOT of things are illegal in L.America. I won't get pulled over for my passenger drinking beer in my car but I will get pulled over for talking on a cell or no seat belt. That alone disproves your statement but let's explore it further. I get your argument. In L.Amer. things are more lax, rules are strethched if your the right person or if you know them. Yea, I know. I've seen it happen personally. But there are rules. And for the majority there are infact rules. And guess what those rules are enforced despotically. This is a short anwser to a short question but a question that opens many can of worms. If you want more I can provide. But for now let's look beyond that... Why hasn't Mex nipped it in the bud before? Well why do you think 1) Corrupt gov 2)They _are_ a 3rd world country 3)Local acceptance... 4) Proliferation: I mean that those who ARE the problem became powerful enough to buy/work/lie thier way into a position of policy making. That's why. Oh and let's not forget to mention that the drug war is wrong. I believe it is. Just because the US government pumps billions into tyrannic/depostic/wrong governments who are easily influenced or controlled doesn't mean that the polocy is correct. Infact the US has a LONG history of supporting WRONG governments that are easily controllable. I will concede the fact that I believe what ever is best for my country is correct but that doesn't mean I believe that the history smells like roses, nor does it now. (Panama, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Afghanistan, Iraq, Taliban, Nationalist Chinese are just some few examples and sources I can remember off the top of my head) Quote: Article 27 states, article 27, Constitution of the United Mexican States "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereunto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country." if you really read the constitution, you'll see just how you'll never be a mexican regardless of what you do so you'll never own the land, they'll always take it back Doesn't anwser my point that allowing foriengers to buy massive land or disregard 'your'/local law is okay. Fine, some countries have tougher immigration policies, others don't. So what? Quote: Quote: http://www.alipac.us/article1676 I wasn't talking about small incongrous buys. I am talking about large buys made by various organizations and people. I seem to remember that there was a big, BIG, scare during/before WWII about Japs buying too much land in Hawaii... Also there are infact regulation on purchases in the US by foriegners. Apparently you have to give a 20-25% down payment... Quote: No, it is NOT absurd at all! Historacally buying up land has been a large part of nationalizing land. Look, even the US has done it. It is easy to annex: Texas, New Mexico, Cali anyone (not to mention a few US territories around the world)? Buying land to nationalize? Alaska and "Louisiana" [read: basically our whole south]. Let's say that X-amount of government supported Russians decided to make large purchases of land in Rhode Island. Buy the whole damn thing. Are you saying it's an absurd notion to believe they could instigate legislation to annex it? Look at my past points. It would cause civil war,if allowed (and I can only imagine it would be "nipped in the bud" before it got to a real esacalting point). Have we not had civil war before? Yep, we sure have... And guess how that turned out? All our other wars combined +, on the disaster scale. Want another one? Keep thinking it isn't possible. Also regarding land purchases in Mexico: Quote:

It is common in South and Central America. Causes Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite related to the African trypanosome that causes sleeping sickness. It is spread by reduvid bugs and is one of the major health problems in South America. Due to immigration, the disease also affects people in the United States. Risk factors for Chagas disease include: * Living in a hut where reduvid bugs live in the walls * Living in Central or South America * Poverty * Receiving a blood transfusion from a person who carries the parasite but does not have active Chagas disease http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlinepl ________________________________ Due to immigration, the disease also affects people in the United States. Cool great, what ever. Closing the borders now won’t solve it. As my source said it, it is found in the Americas. Guess what that includes us. Do you honestly think that it was only caused by immigration? And furthermore and more importantly, do you think it was caused _solely_ by illegal immigration? Guess what tourists go abroad, get sick and bring it back to their country. Or get in an accident and get a bad blood transfussion. It is very, very, very common. So what is your point?

Sorry but I believe each human life is precious ________________________________ as do I, I also believe my life is more precious than yours, the lives of my children are more precious than anyone elses, I would like them to live to an old age but I cant see that happening if the laws we already have in place are not enforced, the big movement for 'taking back' america by hispanics have declared this as a war, we should also treat it as such Yup, I believe this too. I am more precious than you and your daughter. Look it’s all common self-intrests. It’s a good thing. Are you saying that hispanics are going to cause an American Holocaust there by killing your children? Don’t be so paranoid, paranoia isn’t rationality and rationality is neccassary when dealing with bullshit in politics. Look let me put your mind at ease, illegals won’t rape and rob your child- most likely. Chances are your child will not get raped by a US legal either- hopefully. But yea, let’s enforce some laws here, sure. I agree. But let’s enforce these laws with a _clear_ and _level_ head. Bad laws make for a bad country. Stupid laws ruin people. I have no idea where the fuck you figure that hispanics and caucasians are at war right now… But tell me where to find out more and I’ll make sure to be more careful. Just so happens I’m surronded everyday by 90% hispanics and I have been okay, thus far. Maybe that is because they are just waiting for the moment to pump chagas into my blood stream and sequester me you’re your farm to spread the disease? Let’s hope not. Quote: ________________________________ A witch hunt will NOT help us. Guess what we already have multiple witch hunts. War on Drugs/Terrorism/Poverty/Racism/S ________________________________ you're right, most are failures Which ones are succesful? , they dont do anything to actively search out illegals and deport or destroy them what doesn’t? War on drugs/terror/poverty/racism/sexi Quote: ________________________________ Huh? False and wrong on many levels. This is fiating (pre-supposing) that the US citizen is being tested before he enters said country (which has never, ever ever, happend to me. As I said I am a frequent traveller.)Not only that but I have a _right_ to enter my country EVEN IF I have AIDS/HIV/TB. ________________________________ I have been tested and immunized every time I've traveled abroad, maybe it's based on location or occupation but I'll guarantee that if you show signs of TB or other communicable diseases you're not getting on a plane Every time? Huh? Immpossible. Absolutely immpossible. Where were you going? And more over how often do you travel? I used to spend more time in airplanes than in school. Not tested once. And by the way, I’ve sat by plently of people with the flu or some other sickness, ON THE PLANE and IN THE AIR. Oh and guess how the swine flu got into the US, not illegal immigration, it got into the US through the airports. Won’t lie to you, I have also gone on an air plane sick as well, plent of times. Not a wary eye from anyone. Oh and a lot of diseases like HIV/AIDs, it’s hard to tell. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/ Quote: ________________________________ Also regarding land purchases in Mexico: Quote: ________________________________ Most people have heard that people from the U.S. can�t buy property in Mexico. This isn�t entirely true. In fact the only real regulations are on the near the border and coast. These areas are known as the �restricted zone�. The �restricted zone� is the area within 100 kilometers of any Mexican border and within 50 miles of any Mexican coastline. Other than the �restricted zone� foreigners can own land subject to Mexican law. Just because you are a U.S. citizen doesn�t mean the land becomes U.S. property. It is treated just like a Mexican citizen owned it. -http://www.mexico501.com/buying ________________________________ ________________________________ it's kindof amazing, my quotes came straight from the mexican constitution, it sort of over rides what mexico501 says and if you read through your post, you'll see the ever ambiguous statement "subject to Mexican law", so you can denounce your citizenship and the protections of the US and buy land but are you an american anymore or a mexican citizen I’ll take the advice of someone who lives and works in Mexico. Latin countrie’s constitutions don’t hold the same amount of water as the US one nor do they have even a fraction of the shelf life.

Quote: the little girl responds "cold war has been over for 2 decades, why would they still be stockpiling the treatment if no one is using it as a biological agent and we no longer have the big bad enemy known as the Soviet Union to worry about" Quote: ________________________________ Quote: really, once again WHAT RIGHT TO REENTRY INTO THE US DO YOU HAVE? http://antipolygraph.org/blog/?p Quote: nothing there about foreign travel, think life, liberty and pursuit of happiness when you consider the drug laws, where'd you say you left your rights? Quote: yup... if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear, surely you were immunized prior to your departure, isnt that enough to ensure your speedy reentry into the country, if you were immunized then you wont have what ever deadly pathogen everyone in Uzbekistan is carrying, those that cant show the immunization records should expect delays Quote: it could also mean I'm seeking clarification bacause your statement/question was a little too obscure, vague or just plain retarded, take your pick Quote: the CDC and the National Institute of Health seem to disagree with the conclusion you've drawn, since they're doctors and scientists who's occupation is to study diseases, they're means of travel and their origins, I think I may be inclined to believe them more so than someone that's 'unsure' Quote: yup... no syphilis Quote: ________________________________ Quote: no, I dont think the disease was caused bu immigration, I believe the disease is caused by a parasite, not by it's bite but by contact with it's feces, at least that's what modern science tells me in addition to the NIH and the CDC, you know, the ones that study diseases, their causes, it just so happens that the disease is carried by illegals, a disease that we didnt have before the mass influx of illegals... and no, closing the borders wont solve a disease, nor will it cure a disease, we can prevent infections of this one and others by closing the borders, deporting every illegal, executing those that attempt illegal entry and destroying them with fire, or we can use method #2, launch them back over the border via cannon try to remember, THE AMERICAS is not THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA it covers north, central and south america which is comprised of dozens of countries, many of which lack the resources we have regarding health Quote: again, caused by a parasite Quote: Hmmmmm, bad blood transfusions are common? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of testing on blood to ensure people arent infected with disease, in fact, if you're traveled abroad in the last 5 years, you cant donate blood, sure that's on the honor system but are people so eager to give blood that they'd lie and potentially risk infecting others, even though they know the blood gets tested, hell if you've recently recieved a vaccine you cant donate, they'll reject your blood Quote: those poor little conclusions, this is about open borders and illegal immigration, immigrants get health tested before they can enter the country, it's not like the olden days where people came to ellis island, went through health checks, signed papers and all that shit... oh wait, it is, unless they're doing it illegally in which case we cant even find out if they're wanted for criminal activities in their own country Quote: what's a bad country, Subjevtively? China, Russia, Iran, Germany (in the past), Many countries in the Americas. and chagas is just a biological cell that tries to live the only way it knows how wow... so it's not the government that you view as bad, it's the country, I assume that means it's inhabitants as well as the land, animals and political figures, having just eaten chinese food for lunch and starting my visit with "Ni Hao Ma" and ending it with a resounding "XiaXia" and never getting sick, I can emphatically say china is not that damned bad, at least the people and the food are usually pretty decent wow, so the people in these bad countries are a disease Quote: yet you argue for open borders and the spread of disease, the increase in crime, loss of viable jobs, etc... the 'company' I referred to is the CDC, a government agency http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cen http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/ Quote: most likely? not good enough considering the thousands that happen every year, what makes it interesting is that they seldom stand trial and the few that do get deported and come back under a new name, 'most likely' doesnt put my mind at ease especially with thugs like La Raza and MS-13, 18th street, Norteños, etc... it certainly doesnt put my mind at ease when I open the local small town paper and discover that some hispanic illegal has butchered a rival with a machete only 20 miles from where I live La Raza has delcared war on the US because we wont bow down and allow for open borders, we wont issue blanket amnesties for all the illegals coming into the country, we wont return the southwest to them and claim we stole it and they're entitled to it Quote: Quote: and yet you rely on a website that gets it information from something that's so flexible that makes the claim that americans can buy land and keep it, like the US, the constitution is the highest law, like the US, it's toilet paper, like the US there's corruption at every level of government from the president down to the parking meter reader... what's the difference between the US and most other countries, most other countries enforce their immigration laws and actively pursue and deport the offenders
