I have no such sympathy. I really don't care whether they are vulnerable or not. We know those immigrants (legal and illegal) are the source of most new companies. Innovation, creativity, the advancement of mankind, wealth, national strength, and growth come predominately from those immigrants.

Least productive citizens are those same people so racist as to demean immigrants (legal or illegal) so as to protect their egos.

Others see hate when viewing immigrants. Actually they see a threat since those immigrants will even become their bosses. I see America's greatest assets. But then I am not emotional like the many who promote hate - who are so poorly educated as to poison the well.

I agree - but let's be clear: these are not 'immigrants' they are refugees. I call them the most vulnerable, because they are fleeing for their very survival, with what they can carry on their backs. They are the victims of a catastrophic civil war, whose plight is at least in part the result of western policies in their region. And even if that war had fuck all to do with us, as human beings we should at the very least be capable of empathising with their suffering, not mocking them for the crime of being desperate.

They're mocked because they're running away.

Don't tell me you've never heard the expression: Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck.

Do they do franchises? I could make a mint over here flogging policies to the electorate next time around.

My god, that could lead to people saying I want my Nickelback, causing them to top the charts, and distort elevator music forever.
