I think the point was well said, "migration, not immigration." Migration is natural. Migration does change the balance of power and of nature, look at all the invasive species destroying native habitat.

Still, I think the west should open the door, in both directions. That is the biggest farce right now in that the migration is one way and any attempt to go in the other is met with hate, denying people of their rights and property and yet protesting the lack of those same rights to their migrants.

I think if the door was open many Canadians would move south (housing glut sovlved). Then too many Americans would move to Canada and Mexico and I think a lot of Europeans would move to these three and some Americans would move to Europe.

If your ancestor came from Europe shouldn't you be allowed free passage home? Isn't that what we give to our migrants? If Spain opened its doors to all its former colonies how many spanish speaking folk would head back to Spain instead of the USA? Culturally they would have more in common in Spain, right?

America was built on migration and the same fears have been raised for generations, but ultimately reciprosity should be the rule. Muslims come here, Christians and Jews go to Muslim lands. Africans move here, Non-africans move to Africa. Asians move here, Non asians move to Asia etc. If countries can't accept that then those citizens should be sent back.

Great Video - the reason I check HP at least 3 times a day. . .entertainment value alone is worth coming for. . .although here in SD, Gringos may be headed south of the border soon for cheaper housing and a strong peso. . .hey - maybe we should invest in pesos??? At least they have a real economy based on oil and chicklets. . .

Keith, you've formerly admitted to reading Jared Diamond, so you should be well aware that the major factors that led to the domination of the Americas by European powers and people over the Native Americans had precious little to do with any decisions that were made by the Native Americans, and more to do with European technological superiority (horses, weaponry, political organization, etc) and immunity to various diseases. If you want to extrapolate that to the present time, that would lead one to believe that the current immigration debate you are consistently stoking to assuage your latent racist tendencies is completely pointless, no?

Lmmfao! "So yer sayin, that if we welcome these crackers into our lands, that nothing bad will happen to us"?

"No, probably not....... What's the worst that could happen"?

And vfrmonkey, You may be the only other person here that knows about the jew written immigration reform act of 1965. I wish some of these tools would turn off the talmudvision for a few minutes a day and read something.
