Link: German Mercedes Benz Exec arrested in Alabama under new Immigration Law

[doctorgonzo]

To say this is somehow a black eye is completely ridiculous.

Ridiculous huh? I just watched a 20 min segment in the MSM about this story. Of course, the story included Mercedes demands that the confederate flag be taken down. They also paid a fair amount of attention to Alabama's glowing history of Jim Crow & race relations relative to the state government.

What's ridiculous is anyone believing racist & buffoonish immigration laws in this state are going to be looked upon favourably by the rest of the nation.

So, this incident proves what - that this law is racist against Germans?

Exactly uafan. I guess we were racist for giving them incentives to invest in our state? Where does the ultimate blame rest for states taking these measures? If the federal govt would do its constitutional duty none of this would have ever happened. BTW- is German a race?

 

[doctorgonzo]

So you don't think these laws were born out of xenophobia? Wonder if Gov. Bentley would have put in a call to the state homeland security director if this would been just some dirty Mexican?

I understand that people don't like entitlements going to illegals, but that is NOT an immigration problem. It's a government problem. No one deserves entitlements from the government legal or illegal. Am I supposed to jump up & down every time a legal immigrant has another kid I have to pay for?

Encourage immigration.

Discourage government leeches.

 

[bamacon]

I'll encourage emigration by the illegals...back to where they came from. I love LEGAL immigration but when one country is exporting its least educated and most poor citizens by exploiting the generosity of another country something will eventually give. Our generosity, patience, and frankly our money is gone.

The U.S. money isn't gone, it's simply been funneled to the top 1%. The incredible thing about that is that so few understand that is what has happened.

there is a large portion of our population that is gullible and will always give. they will give everything they have and then will force you to give everything you have as well. when our country collapses, they will be the first ones enslaved or killed so maybe there will be some karmic retribution in that respect.

the even more incredible thing is that when you tell them what happened, they still don't care.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Sound familiar?

I also think it's hilarious how issues like immigration prove Republicans to be the biggest hypocrites in the world.

"We have to rein spending & balance the budget!"

"Let's spend trillions of dollars enforcing immigration laws!"

"" Get government out of our lives!"

"Cops need to pull over anyone who looks suspicious!"

you're either with the tribe or your agin it

you do realize that for a large group of folks, the operational definition of liberal is now "stuff i don't like"

:biggrin:

So you don't think these laws were born out of xenophobia

xenophobia is one of the smartest things to believe in. simply bc history proves that you and your culture are most likely to be wiped off the face of the planet by people who dont look like you do. just ask the countless ethnicities who have suffered atrocities due to "multiculturalism"

you do realize that poem was actually a middle finger to europe and had very little to do with wanting to accept immigrants. it basically meant we will take the poorest and dumbest from europe and we still be successful bc europe sucks so much and has everything backwards. meanwhile our present dufus in chief is trying to make us look like europe. he is so brilliant i tell ya.

as opposed to the countless ethnicities who have suffered atrocities due to xenophobia?
