Immigration

[Byron In Exile]

Are you suggesting that anyone who wants to emigrate to the US should be allowed to do so?

It's my belief that he's suggesting he's confused.

It's not uncommon in my country.

There seems to be an indication on this thread that some people believe that an important social and political issue is actually complex and not prone to simplistic solutions.

It's a perplexing thing to read on the GB.

The US needs to recognize that it is a nation of immigrants.

Sophism.

There can be no other rational, reasoned response unless you actually say something.

Well, when that's all you've got to advance your agenda they're obligated to use it. Even if it is based on a false premise.

HA! We have to be right every time and they only have to be right once, so we're not at "war" with them...

Do you think he can float over here and fix Australia?

Not a chance. Tony Abbott will drown the guy somewhere in the Torres strait- and call it "off shore processing."
