@Our_Boat_is_Right

Would you be willing to hold native born Americans to the same standards? Meaning if they aren't productive to society, they would get deported? What if unemployment benefits/welfare was removed for everybody? Then illegal immigrants aren't munching off of the system because no one would be.

-->
@Alec

No, because they also have to show why they are here and how they will help economically, you get so many people who will not help.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Should we accept any peaceful person that knows enough English into the country? If they don't, should they get assimilated in classes they pay for?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

That depends. A large percentage of illegals don't have a lot of experience, don't speak English, or don't have the necessary requirements to be in the U.S. I believe that immigration helps the economy, but legally. We have to control and know what people are in our country and make sure they would contribute to society. Since the legal immigration process is slow, I believe in a comprehensive reform to speed it up a little and perhaps accept some more people.

@Alec

Read something wrong. My bad.

@TheRealNihilist

Blamonkey doesn't have that many debates to his name. If he did, he probably would be #1. When did I say that? I already debated him once.

-->
@Alec

Why can't blamonkey finally take his spot as the best?
You did say you were going to debate him.

Why can't all the illegal Hispanics just go to Spain?

-->
@Speedrace

You should have focused on what the economy does on immigration. The argument for immigration is better than against based on economy.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I was slow to pick up on that, too. Once I did some debates made much more sense.

-->
@oromagi

Oh. I didn't know that was the case.

-->
@dustryder

First time I heard you take a right wing stance on an issue.

-->
@Speedrace

As opposed to the Canadian-American border?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Speedrace is bordered in red- therefore con.

@Speedrace

Are you pro?
