You monster! How dare you erect a border! Please remove it, this is a world without borders!
Countires are contstructs that are used for economy. Why do you think when we went around the world carving out nations..
and then installing central banks..
If you live in an affulant country it is because of economy. If money and capitalism freely move between nations why shouldnt people.
Humainity is not economy its not business. Wake up your a human being..
How is your house any different? A country has borders to protect the countries prosperity. You have a house to protect your prosperity. You are affluent enough to have access to the internet because you hoard resources instead of sharing with everyone. Sell you possessions, sell you computer, spread the wealth equally to every person in the world. If goods can freely flow in and out of your house, shouldn't people be able to? This is a world without borders, and you have erected borders in your personal life at the expense of others.
You make it seem like anyone that wants the law upheld is some kind of monster. Yet you don't have one ounce of sympathy at all for the person whose identity she stole. You have posted how many times, and not once referenced this.
You still have yet to say what you would suggest. Should she be allowed to stay? Or would you have just given her time. And do you really think if they had said turn yourself in in 6 months you are getting deported that she would have?
and you wonder why so many of us are so staunch about defending our borders
Faced by a young person who disproved his claim about his Administration’s treatment of these young people, the President now seemed to concede that students and young people eligible for the DREAM Act are being deported and says that it’s not his responsibility to change that: “America is a nation of laws, which means I, as the President, am obligated to enforce the law. I don’t have a choice about that. That’s part of my job,” he said. When Ramos asked a follow-up question about granting formal administrative relief to undocumented youth, Obama was even more forceful: “There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply, through executive order, ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”

Must have graduated from a United States high school or obtained a GED

After having obtained and held conditional resident status, permanent residency may be granted if the following requirements have been met in a period of six years.
Requirements for permanent residency

If these requirements are not fulfilled the conditional resident will lose their legal status and be subject to deportation.[3]

What do you mean protect the countries prosperity. A country has borders so the wealth can be controlled by an elite few. Do you think properity is something we should measure in economic terms. No its messing up our planet. Its a run away sytem. Close down the banks lets do something different.. Instead of quantity of life lets look at quality.
Yes i am lucky and affulant to have the internet. I have what i need and no more. My nan always said to me know when you have enough. I have a fire, food, love, shelter and the tools to live my everyday life. The tools i have are not just to benefit me they are shared with people when they need them. Along with my experience.
Yes people come into home and i dont need to lock my door. I am lucky enough to live in a remote community. People need each other...
Pop around for a cup of tea sometime!
I have what i need and no more.

We are defending our borders against criminals who will come here and willingly break our laws
Shame the borders dont keep the criminality in then.. Stop illegally bombing the middle eastern and the immigrants will stop coming.
If you citizens act like it.

Have you every been to a 3rd world country? You have borders to keep the poor out of rich nations. Nations that have built themselves up through war, or trade. The USA is no excemption. If we were to open our borders wide open, your standard of living, and social services as limited as they are would be overrun, and unable to function. I would rather stay with my current standard of living and fight to keep LEGAL, fair immigration. Not people that jump the line to get in, or should never be let in anyway.

Yes i have been to thrid world countires.. Have you ever asked why they are poor. Trade regulations and economy move freely.. Why shouldnt people.
