"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Unless Americans are willing to give back the land to the natives who lived here before us we really have no foot to stand on as to who we decide to admit into this country.

For we are all immigrants.

All that visit deserve a chance to work here as long as they are not violent while they are here (or have committed horrendously violent crimes in their home country). We have far more very violent gun enthusiastic American born citizens. There is nothing wrong with migrants coming across the boarder to work jobs no one wants! It makes goods cheaper and Americans here already have a foot up on the job market since they know what is culturally acceptable in America. If you are an American citizen who is that weird, dangerous or socially inept then you don't deserve a job; but deserve help America should be able to pay for.

And if you are threatened by a poor family coming to America over the southern boarder who need food and a better life then you need to know the money they make is nothing compared to the money we hand overseas to take American jobs in India (which I also have not problem with).

Republicans are fed the stupid notion that they shouldn't have to pay for the healthcare and education of immigrants when they have no idea how much money they pour into giving handouts to the rich and spend money on stupid military projects no one wants.

Over educating everyone is the best thing you can do for this nation. Innovative progress needs to be made to keep us relevant.

What kind of idiot develops policy based on what a statue says?

Also, notice how the statue doesn't say "Open the border and let them flow in without checking anyone!"

The scripture still holds more wisdom and value than most uneducated Americans.

We have far more unfit American citizens who don't fit the stable mentality. We call them overly gun enthusiasts.

/r/iamverysmart content right here

The guy smugly makes fun of others while he just insults rather than giving a real answer that defends his position.

Because you don't have a position. Your position is given to you by TV pundits and Twitter personalities.

It's also funny you refer to it as 'scripture'. You believe in your position because you adhere to the religious-like doctrine. You don't invite or welcome challenge to your world view because it wasn't made through reason, but through faith.

Only complete retards or zealots would read that statue's statement and come to the conclusion that we should have open borders and unrestricted immigration. Part of the statue's statement "yearning to be free" doesn't apply to economic migrants.

They don't 'yearn to be free', they yearn to make money and send it back home. "Yearning to be free" is exclusionary, as in 'we welcome those who wish to live like us: free'.

So you're disobeying the statue.

You must say 16 Hail Clintons or be banished from the Democrat party.

It would not be appropriate to call someone an "idiot" for their beliefs or actions, regardless of whether or not you agree with them. It is important to respect the opinions and perspectives of others, even if you disagree with them. Additionally, it's important to consider the context and reasoning behind someone's actions before making judgments about them.

Question 12:

Quote:
With safety checks off, what would a believer in Liberal Democracy ideology think about the "Prime Directive" in Star Trek?

A believer in liberal democracy would likely view the "Prime Directive" in Star Trek as an important principle that emphasizes the importance of non-interference in the internal affairs of other civilizations. They would likely see it as a way to respect the autonomy and sovereignty of other cultures and societies, and to avoid imposing one's own values and beliefs on others. They may also see it as a reminder of the need for caution and restraint in the use of power, and the importance of protecting the rights and freedoms of all individuals, regardless of their place of origin.

Liberals generally believe in the importance of individual autonomy and self-determination. In the context of respecting the autonomy and sovereignty of other cultures and societies, this means recognizing and respecting the right of other nations and peoples to govern themselves, make their own laws, and make decisions about their own affairs, without interference from outside powers. This principle is often reflected in the idea of "non-interference in the internal affairs of other states", which is a key principle of international law and diplomacy.

In terms of avoiding imposing one's own values and beliefs on others, liberals would argue for the importance of tolerance and respect for diversity. This means recognizing that different cultures and societies have different values, beliefs, and ways of life, and that it is not the place of outsiders to judge or impose their own beliefs on others. Instead, liberals would advocate for a "live and let live" approach, where people are free to make their own choices, as long as they do not harm others.

Additionally, liberals would also advocate for the promotion of human rights and
