[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;21925043]-Kicking out illegals goes against the american way of immigration. -Drilling for more oil just reinforces our dependence on it, instead of furthering technology to move away from it.[/QUOTE] It's "illegal" for a reason I mean I'm all for immigrants and stuff, but get here legally or don't come at all.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;21929964]So? They should get a discount for being reliant on a shitty fuel source?[/QUOTE] No but the fuel companies obviously can bring the price down to meet our high demand. Simple econ. Off-shore drilling? Yep let's risk poisoning the water for everyone to knock off a few cents. Face it, oil companies are going to keep overcharging us no matter what. If they got off-shore drilling, they'd bring the price down a little just to pretend it's working. They have us by the balls. Also yeah we should kick out illegals, but Arizona's law is bullshit. The current system is fine for [i]finding[/i] illegal immigrants. We need to focus on [I]keeping them out[/I]. Remove the natural born citizen law, start punishing companies that hire them, start more sever punishment on repeat offenders, and ease up qualifications for legal immigration.

This just in, Americans are dumb, xenophobic, and hate the environment.
Drilling more oil equals many possibilities including $$$ Kicking out illegals gives more jobs and better wages
[QUOTE=Dr Pepper;21930418]Drilling more oil equals many possibilities including $$$ Kicking out illegals gives more jobs and better wages[/QUOTE] Lets kick out Illegal Canadians then too.
[QUOTE=cyanide101;21930438]Lets kick out Illegal Canadians then too.[/QUOTE] ..yeah, why not?
drilling for oil offshore might lower gas prices by like 3 cents and we should be moving to improve renewable energy rather than wasting time on oil
[QUOTE=Dr Pepper;21930418]Drilling more oil equals many possibilities including $$$ Kicking out illegals gives more jobs and better wages[/QUOTE] Illegal labor gives businesses more money because it's unregulated (something I would figure you'd want, because you're conservative right?), and therefore more jobs and cheaper product prices. I guess the only reason you don't like that is because you're a xenophobe, not really a surprise.

The unfortunate fate of most Americans.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;21930923]Man whatever Canadian buildings are like 6 miles apart.[/QUOTE] Bro I doubt Canadians can even drive with all the syrup in their axles.
I'm insulted that you say most don't though. [editline]05:20PM[/editline] automerge, goddamn
[QUOTE=cyanide101;21930376]This just in, Americans are dumb, xenophobic, and hate the environment.[/QUOTE] This just in, Cyandie101 doesn't know what he's talking about.
I'm betting that was sarcasm.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;21931109]This just in, Cyandie101 doesn't know what he's talking about.[/QUOTE] you don't really have any room to talk.
[QUOTE=the_KMM;21928173]Most Americans pretty much discount global warming. It is not 'agreed upon'. There is no consensus.[/QUOTE] Why does the opinion of a bunch of people who know absolutely nothing about the subject matter in the slightest in determining whether something is true? [editline]12:36AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Dr Pepper;21930418]Drilling more oil equals many possibilities including $$$ Kicking out illegals gives more jobs and better wages[/QUOTE] Actually it just removes a significant part of our economy because we rely on those immigrants to do jobs for piss pay so you can get all those fine cheap products.
[QUOTE=JDK721;21931190]you don't really have any room to talk.[/QUOTE] I'm currently locked in a packed ice-box. Talk about irony.
The only people who oppose the bill are idiots or illegals who don't want to get caught. People aren't getting searched based on the color of their skin, or even if they can speak English. If they get pulled over for, say, speeding, and while going through the usual routine they find out that the person's illegal, then off they go. There's going to be people crying "THEY'RE SEARCHING PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR SKIN ALL THEY'VE ARRESTED IS MEXICANS BAWW" well no fucking shit, Arizona's kind've border-border with Mexico, there's going to be more illegal Mexicans than Italians. Everytime I hear some dumb bitch crying about the police going to start profiling based on skin color I want to slit their throat open

[QUOTE=the_KMM;21932720]Then explain to me how it became the best country on Earth.[/QUOTE] There was a magical time called the 50s. America was the star quarterback. All the girls wanted him and all the other countries wanted to be him. Now America is a wash-out living in an efficiency apartment in a constant drunken stupor. [editline]09:29PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Snapzies;21932672]People aren't getting searched based on the color of their skin, or even if they can speak English.[/QUOTE] 'Cause cops never discriminate.
Saying any country is the best country in the world is extremely arrogant.

How about everytime a cop accuses you of something and is wrong, the department has to pay you compensation. You can bet harassment will instantly decline.
only muslims can drill for oil, and their religion is totally okay because I'm really tolerant and see broadway musicals every other weekend I also like to buy expenseive clothes then yell at people for not saving africia
Yea guys by all means lets worsen our dependancy on other countries oils by not drilling here, then lets let a bunch of ILLEAGLE immigrants into our 10% unemployed country to work for a few dollars and undermine any LEAGLE citizen looking for work. GREAT FUCKING IDEA!
