It's the people.

Debate has popped up all over the United States of questionable logic. Protests everywhere. We can't make everyone happy, this is true. First blacks, then gays, now we're on mexicans. I know how it sounds, but trust me, I'm not racist. I do, however, believe, that what you do determines how people think about you. You need to set an example. Things only seem impossible.

So, what do you think about people and protesting against every little thing? People don't want to actually sit down and talk about it. Only the intellegent people, who've been shot 3 times, want to do that. Should we be more forceful? Strict? Punish them? Most protestors finally get what they want when either something tragic happens, or they annoy you so bad you just give it to them to shut them up. Your thoughts on this, please.

An example would help. Because right now I'm just reading your version of I don't know what.

That typo is there for a reason. Don't you get it? And I'm talking about the Mexican protests that have been happening recently. About illegal aliens complaining about jobs and such. They think the government should help them out. I don't think the government needs to help out unless it actually helps, instead of appeasing bitchy people.

just becuase you are good at english doesnt mean that everyone has to be held to your standard thats called logic (and that is what this whole debate is about)...you may get an A+ in English but you would get a D- in common sense...my smelling isnt good either...so shoot me...

Charlatan. Go away and read on different philosophical logic and political philosophy before flashing your idiocy again.

By the way. That 'purposed typo' was pretty stupid also. No one learned from it since we already knew how to spell it. For if we didn't, we couldn't have corrected you.

You're taking this way to literally.

This isn't an easy debate of course. But I think you're misunderstanding something: the "bitchy people" are actually hard-working people, by and large. What they want is to be rewarded for their efforts.

Having said that, there are legal ways into this country. These people did not follow those channels for whatever reason. But it's too late now--there are millions of them here. I think we can all agree that better border security is needed, as well as a more streamlined immigration plan. So what do we do with those illegals who are here already? Many of them have been contributing to the overall economy for years.

This is the crux of this debate.

I say we set forth a standard for citizenship, but adhere to it this time! If you're not committed to the ideals of democracy, then we'd rather take someone else. And what to do with those already here? Well ... they're already here right? Those who can demonstrate that they contribute to our society can stay. Those involved in drugs or gangs or other illegal activities can go back where they came from.

Make more sense if people stated what political philosophy they followed.

Protecting our borders is not a political philosophy ... until there are seats on Capitol Hill to be won or lost.
