Says the former high school history teacher. LMAO High school history teachers are a dime a dozen and on the intelligence scale rank somewhere between a Walmart greeter and a ditch digger.
There's nothing wrong with being a teacher, you fucking snob.
I didn't say there was. You just can't hold it out as a sign of your intelligence, especially if you are a history teacher.
There are very few professions in which you MUST be intelligent to be successful. Some of the sciences. For instance, it isn't possible for a person of less than average math ability to become a renowned nuclear physicist. But a CEO? Shit ... some of those guys/ladies are just good at fast-talking, but don't actually have a clue what they're talking about. You can become very successful with an intimidating title while remaining an ignoramus. Most are actually quite intelligent, but sometimes you come across a c-level or near c-level ranking person and just shake your head like, "How the fuck did you make it so far?"
There are history teachers out there who are brilliant but just love history, and don't want to climb corporate ladders. I don't know why you had to insult his being a teacher. Just call him an idiot like a normal person and move on.
He asked for it. If you can't take the heat stay the hell out of the kitchen.
to the contrary, YOU asked for it.
what makes you an 'expert', anyway?
you're obviously ignorant of the changes made to immigration since the Constitution was ratified.
It's also obvious my 11 year old great nephew knows more about the subject than you.
you should have given up exposing your ignorance days ago.
Still believe a speed limit is a law? Who said a damn thing about changes since our founding? I have been discussing the views of the founders on immigration, not the progression of immigration law. Start a thread and maybe I will teach you something else just like I taught you how to tell the difference between a regulation and a law.
What kills me about this place is how often people spew insults and then stick their fingers in their ears and go "la, la, la" like a damn four year old when someone actually constructs a rebuttal to some of their ignorant ideas. Nobody is here to learn anything. Nobody is here to actually debate. It is a freakin echo chamber where people get their confirmation bias fix and hurl insults at those that get in the way.
I believe in free and open borders. Call it a "free market" libertarian approach. Anyone and everyone can come in and the "market" will regulate it. When too many are here the market will slow down the inflow. But the more "players" on the team the better the starting five. What those that oppose or want to curtail immigration are saying is that they are scared of the competition. And who can blame them. Damn near every employer I know will take a young immigrant over a young native American every time. The young immigrant will show up for work every day, bust his ass when he is there, stay away from drama, and follow his orders without questioning them. The young "entitled" native will call in sick on the weekends or the day after payday, will drag ass if they are working and screw off if they can get away with it, and often times argue with their boss when asked to do something.
But the biggest reason I am for free and open borders is that the government really does have no business determining who can enter and who can't. Sure, all the other countries in the world do it, but we are not all the other countries. We are the United States of America. We are EXCEPTIONAL. And at the very core of that exceptionalism is our founding, WITH FREE AND OPEN BORDERS.
And finally. Well I live in North Carolina where my family has been since well before the American Revolution. In fact, the last person to own this land outside my family was a king. But in the middle of the 17th century the governor of North Carolina needed residents. So he threw open the border. Anyone and everyone was welcome. Thieves, rogues, murderers and even pirates, like Blackbeard, were not only welcome, but were protected against those that would pursue them. He offered them all a fresh start. And many of them took it, including Blackbeard. But the legal life didn't sit with him and he was soon back to pirating. But hundreds of others did not return to their former transgressions. It was the descendants of those theives, rogues, murderers, and pirates that became the "Overmountain Men", and rather you believe it not, on October 7, 1780 those Overmountain Men won the Revoutionary War. Without that victory, well we might be singing God Save the Queen before an NFL football game.
So, not only was this nation founded with free and open borders. It was free and open borders that delivered us victory in the Revolutionary War.
