Nonsense. If you believe it, you are deluding yourself. Anything negative about immigration will inevitably be an idea "associate with" (your test) the bad guys in your mind it least. You have simply embodied your personal bigotry in the code. This forum is of no significance. What is alarming is the it reflects the growing national trend to silence all those who disagree with the liberals/democrat agenda.
Rubbish.
All you have to do is present evidence for your claims about immigration. It's been soundly established in just this discussion that many immigrants actually create jobs that wouldn't have been created otherwise, so blanket anti-immigration positions have been shown to be foolish. In other words, it's been shown that citizenism is bad for citizens.
You constantly assume that anyone who doesn't follow your total rejection of immigration is trying to "import" hordes of nothing but unskilled foreigners. And though you've paid occasional lip service to the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, your consistent overall position has been that all immigrants are bad, legal or illegal -- you in practice refuse to distinguish between them. But anyone who's followed the various threads about immigration would know your fallacious assumption rests on ignorance or deliberate refusal to pay attention -- for example, my proposals that states be allowed to patrol their own borders, that local be allowed to organize into militias dedicated to patrolling the border where they live, that we put military bases on the border and let them practice interdiction tactics using illegal border crossings as their "opforce" . . . those hardly fit with an attitude of wanting to import vast numbers of people (nor are any of them very "liberal").
And you have consistently ignored the fact that people who have come here and established lives for themselves and become contributing parts of their communities have done exactly what has always been the way people become Americans, ever since colonial days. To demand that such people be uprooted and imprisoned or deported or whatever goes against what America has always been. It's a very anti-citizen demand, for that matter, because those people are neighbors and friends, employees and coworkers, and ripping them out of their communities will leave holes that at very best don't benefit citizens, while in fact harming them by disruption of the economy. In fact, if all the illegals were suddenly gone, we'd have serious enough economic disorder the country would likely fall right back into the bankers' recession. The only moral way to deal with those Americans is to impose penalties in place, the same we'd do with any other Americans. My proposal has always been a minimum of $1k fine for each year they've been here illegally, but I wouldn't have any problem with putting them effectively on probation for a period of years and barred from seeking citizenship for a substantial period as well.
Yet all your responses to any such proposals have offered no practical suggestions -- you just cling to the mantra "citizens good, immigrants bad". And
that is the position the new rule here addresses: blind, unsupported, insulting bigotry. It doesn't stop you at all from presenting research results that show the US can only use X number of new people each year, or methods for dealing with the new Americans among us who indeed broke the law getting here, or even evaluating the median and/or average educational level of newcomers and how that impacts the rest of us. But you have to have those pesky things like actual evidence and studies and whatnot.
