Yeah, it's bullshit. But if they try to get insurance, they get deported. Personally, I always believed that if they're terrible enough of a driver to get int oa big crash and stupid enough to drive without a license, they should be deported.

Ahhhh, this is my kind of thread, kudos on creating it Cody. Anyway, I agree that the law is far too strict, but also, in our humanitarian rage, we also have to keep in mind that if we had an open border it would obliterate our already struggling economy. That being said, I think that our current system is complete and utter bullshit.

First off, thank you Danny. I think we all agree that our current system is a terrible one, and needs to be changed. The problem with open border policies, however, is that it would cause a job loss here, because of people willing to work for FAR less, and this only benefits the corporations only. Combine this with the recent health care bill, and our current system couldn't handle such a large influx of people at one time without much revenue coming in.

Edit: I seem to have misinterpreted your post, reading "rage" as "age." If you read my post, it ends up actually agreeing with you, as I was arguing against open borders.

But still, we need to base immigration on qualifications, not on race. I believe the current system is a quota based on nationality, and that is just plain wrong. I say they take that to the Supreme Court and those guys will overturn that shit like its a pancake on the griddle.

They will overturn it, probably. And the reason we have the quota is because we never repealed the Quota Act of 1920, which was designed to stem the flow from wartorn Europe and completely block Asians.

Yeah, probably. That time was much more racist, what with th KKK far more rampant and widespread hatred of the Asians.

its true, all we have right now are varying degrees of very liberal...and also, the anti-asian racism we experienced around then was due to both our much more white supremacist culture, and our fear that all asians were spying on us...

I know Danny. I was just pointing out how we hated them, a lot. Under the Quota Act, 10 from Japan and 100 from China could come a year.
