    Many of them, no. They stand imprisonment or other oppression should they do so.

    If you had elected anyone else you could say that. But you didn't. So, yes, it is about Trump.

    The right loves illegals, muslims, African Americans, liberals, and taxes. They all give you someone to blame, which is easier than thinking.

    As they say in court, "unresponsive" and "argumentative". Neither of which is good for you. Just saying. I know, I don't "blame" groups. Why do you? What you've just written could be a primer for intolerant hate groups. One could easily envision a pillow case with eye cut outs somewhere buried in your closet....

    Reading the article you linked it seems that most refugees are looking for a better economic life and fleeing war.
    From what I am reading, that camp is closing and true refugees (though how do you know right?) are being separated from the others who are economic "refugees" and Australia is trying to deal with it even offering financial packages to those being sent home.


    Australia can end this issue because the scope is much smaller then what you see in Europe. They have a wall of water and they aren't automatically letting boat people in. Deterrents do work.

    Europe ends up with growing ghettos and unhappy immigrants living there. They cross borders with expectations that can't be met and end up a huge liability for those countries.

    I think the compassionate thing to do is to keep middle eastern citizens in their own countries, dealing with their own issues and helping them there.

    There is no good argument against the wall. So leftists just shout "racist" when the wall is mentioned.

    Another leftist dumb to history

    The Great Wall in its present form was not built until the Ming dynasty, more than a century after the Mongols had conquered northern China.

    There isn't a good argument against the wall, that's why the leftists in this thread keep embarrassing themselves talking about ladders and tunnels and other forms of retardation.

    Indeed so. A lot of our issues are caused by automation causing loss of jobs. The whole point of automation is so that humans do not have to do the job by themselves. However, in a capitalist society, we need jobs to make money. We've seen a push for more technical and skilled labor, but not everyone can be the world's finest doctor. So yea, we're kinda screwed and blessed at the same time in the near future.
