It always amazes me when people start thinking that America, land of the immigrants, should start banning people. It was dumb when the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed and it's dumb now.

Tbh Lots of Hispanics are devout Catholics and people who come from immigrants who "earned" their legal right to live here are very against other forms of immigration that aren't the "right" way, illegal or otherwise.

Happens a lot. Very often in my family and community. It doesn't make any sense to me but whatever.

We had a lot of people who migrated (legally) from Latin America at our Catholic Church, when we used to go, and the majority of them were pretty vocal about their opinions on illegal immigration.

Same with my service writer at work who just got his citizenship last month. :terrists:

It's not really uncommon for people who went through the process and had an alright time of it to be against people trying to go around it. I can't blame them, honestly. There are arguments to be made about relaxing some policies a little, but at the end of the day, people who decide to break the law because something is hard to do otherwise deserve whatever they get.

It also amazes me that people think that just because it has been done before means we have to keep continuing it.

If it's reasonably concluded that America needs to restrict immigration, then by all means it has the right to do so.

To argue "we're the land of immigrants!" is the lowest, dumbest tier argument to allow immigrants in. Really, you guys can do much better with much sounder, logical debates for it.

My great-great-grandfather migrated here in 1897. Never met the man, and the country he immigrated to and from were both different from what they are today. The phrase "the past is a different country" comes to mind.
