What i say is to find a solution to integrate those who come, instead of hoping they won't come back. In their countries they risk their life, so they will also risk their lives in USA, they don't care.
I never said to open borders. I said to make a different system of integration. Overall in the past with the problem you generated with your own laws of ius soli (who is born on american soil is american) generated entire generations of americans born from illegal migrants. So, find a way to integrate them. No ?
About killing an iranian guy on iraqi territory. Of course it is a bad move. Why always this increass in violence im USA ? you always cry that 9/11 happened, forgetting that you caused sufferences to those same people in afghanistan in the 1980's. So if every person or nation on the planet, who has been harmed by USA, would revenge... you would have many more 9/11. Again i don't say to close bothe eyes, just eliminate people in a more discrete way or don't kill who is unknown. Who knew about this general ? Nobody. Now you kill him and his face is everywhere as a martyr. You risk oyhrr american lives to kill one unknown guy ? Enemy or guilty or whatever, he wad not popular and you could kill him in a less theatral way. Again, bad move.
Meliva, trade agreements are not only a piece of paper where you write that you agree to shsre sugar with your neighbor. It is much more complicate. And if you signed that you agree om free borders for the members of the agreement, then you can't close borders or the agreement is closed. So now what, do you block trade with mexico for billion of dollars of you find a way to solve migratuons ? No lobby of trade will ever agree to erase trade agreements as NAFTA, not even trump, who is firstly a businessman. He knows the value of the treaty. Same with china, he tries to be the boss but chinese have the power of huge investments
Whit, it seems like you really don't know what you're talking about. What's the difference between integrating illegal immigrants and legalizing them? Are you saying that we should just let them stay and work and not bother deporting them? Because that opens up businesses being able to hire workers who would work for under minimum wage as since they are not legal citizens many laws won't matter to them. That would be very bad for blue collar workers. It also means that immigrants will know that they can enter illegally without needing to worry about being punished.
On the Iranian general-That guy also was NOT widely unknown. He was a MAJOR figure in the middle east. Just because you didn't know him doesn't make him some nobody. The man was a bloody GENERAL-and a very influential and powerful one at that. You do know that a general is basically the HIGHEST rank in most militaries right? That alone should have told you he wasn't a nobody, regardless if you personally knew of him or not. Sure killing him has made him a martyr, but he was a dangerous threat regardless, it's better that we have removed him rather then let him continue gaining power and influence.
And yes of course trade agreements are more complicated, that was just a basic example. And where in the world did you get the idea that we have a signed agreement with ANYONE about free borders? That might be something in the EU, but we certainly never made any agreement like that with Mexico. We do have trade agreements with them, but trade isn't the same as a migration agreement. Those 2 things are NOT intertwined in any way. Well except if what's being traded ARE people, but that's slavery which is illegal as well in the US. We can buy fruits, vegetables, and products from Mexico without also promising open borders. Sure we COULD do both and have open borders with trade, but we DON"T want open borders with them.
Also, once an agreement is made that doesn't mean it's set in stone and no longer negotiable. A good agreement one day could be viewed as negative later on-then one or more party can propose to either alter the deal to be more favorable or abandon it entirely. Trump has done a lot of that-trying to renegotiate deals to be more favorable. Hell he recently did a remake of NAFTA, and even some of those who oppose him agreed that the new deal was indeed better.
