Found this on facebook, had to repost.
Soooo, let's look to Iran and North Korea because they are such great examples of how a country should be ran, amirite?
Often in the public debate about immigration (ie. brownies crossing the border), the "issue" (ie. concern troll) of illegals skewing the vote gets trotted out as yet another example of their heinous crime against this country.
However, I don't think the inventors of this fiction thought out the implications of the accusation; or rather, they could count out the possibility of their audience ever thinking that far.
For if we were to ever consider citizenship as the least bit matter of merit instead of birthright, imagine who should be selected as deserved representation of our democracy: someone who would risk their daily livelihood to cast an individually statistically insignificant vote, or those who wrap themselves in the flag against slightest slights.
So what you're saying is that no one outside of the 'fence' should have liberty?Liberty is for those within the fence. Its our fence. But theres no point in putting a guard at a gate, if he doesnt shoot those who cross it.

I'm just worried about being within the fence when liberty is taken away, and not having the option to flee if I deem that is what is best for my family.
You can fight your own revolution! Whether you have liberty or not is not the concern of others nations and they need to stay out of your business.Whether they have liberty or not shouldn't be our concern. They can fight their own revolutions. When we start getting involved in other nations' civil wars (i.e. Libya + Syria), that is when things go to ****.

You shouldn't be allowed to immigrate to other nations, because you don't even have a basic understanding of liberty, as evidenced by your unwillingness to fight for it and subsequently just running away somewhere else. And as a refugee, your economic position in their nation would be as a leech. You would be nothing more than a blight and stain on their nation. And frankly, until they reach zero unemployment, I don't think they should even consider allowing you to immigrate into their nation.
Yeah, an open border smacks too much of freedom. We can't have that here.
Edit: my current signature comes from a friend's comment about how to view people crossing the borders. His unredacted comment:
The short of it: if we considered citizenship something that is earned rather than inherited, who has earned it more than one who has risked their lives to get here in hopes of a better life?

1. Calm down.
2. I only said I wanted the option, for the protection of my family.
3. You have no idea what preparations I've made or what my economic position would be in such a scenario.
4. I recognize and respect the right of sovereign nations to deny me entry. My hope would be that my skills and/or resources would be seen as an asset and would buy me access.
The people who illegally enter our nation need to get the **** out so we can stop paying for their free ride
