Well if we offered citizenship to all of the non-citizen residents of this country, they would pay taxes on their income, and then offset the cost of their living here. The more tax paying citizen the better right?

I am all for immigration, but since crossing the border is illegal and being in the country illegally is a felony, and since I don't think we should offer citizenship to felons, I say we take a different tack.

cause if it's illegal it's immediately wrong


they crossed an imaginary line on the earth to make a better life for themselves. No need to be such a dick. Protecting borders is important but let's not be judge and jury on anyone who is here without the proper papers.

...and I say we shouldn't allow felons to be in the Judiciary, Executive or Legislative branches of the goverment, but we obviously allow it (most of them are, and surely will prove to be with the bailout plan).

Why shouldn't we allow citizenship to these felons? If they are murderers or thieves in their home country ok, but it isn't fair to lump them in with those crowds. You really make it sound like it is something really bad they have committed.

But i guess they should stay where they are and continue to eat shit, since their government gives out so little visas in the first place, and usually only to people that are well off anyways.

let me guess

Putting government price caps on what doctors and hospitals can charge for services doesn't work when their costs go up year after year. Putting government caps on the hospital's medical suppliers won't work either because their costs go up year after year also. The government would just be capping doctors' abilities to do their best work while running them out of business.
No one here has explained why healthcare needs to be free, or "affordable for everyone". Why does it? Why are people not willing to understand that certain medical procedures are simply out of their reach financially, and that good doctors are never going to be willing to charge little or nothing for the work that they've spent 8 years or more training for?

This is a joke right?

Ok, so can I come into your house? What if I start eating your food and watching your tv? That's only an imaginary line, right?

There are laws set up that define those "imaginary lines." And yes again, I support increased immigration. It needs to be done properly and on a worldwide basis, not just open to those who can walk here.

No, you're missing what I'm saying.

Well first, they could be murderers or thieves in their home countries, but we don't know that because there's no way to check, since they're just "here."

There are proper paths to immigration, and if we simply let "these felons" stay and grant them citizenship, it's just pissing on all of the people who tried to do it the correct way.

i'm not saying we deny citizenship, I'm saying they need to follow the same procedures as everyone else. We shouldn't reward people for breaking the law.

False, but fun to pretend.

Most expensive does not equal "the best".

In the report released by "Researchers Ellen Nolte and Martin McKee of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine", the evidence suggests that the United States ranks dead last in terms of preventable deaths.

France, Japan and Australia rated best and the United States worst in new rankings focusing on preventable deaths due to treatable conditions in 19 leading industrialized nations, researchers said on Tuesday.
