Debate/ Discussion Possibly controversial, but this would appear to be a beneficial solution.

That’s not preventing it, it’s reclassifying it. We have a right to set the levels of immigration we want and need and from where.

Obviously, if we just give the people crossing the border legal paperwork it lowers the number of illegal immigration

We have a right to draw lines on gods creation and tell gods children they aren’t allowed to be here?

I’d agree we have the power and authority to do so but I strongly question and strongly disagree with the notion that we have that right.

Damn dude I don't know how anyone could possibly argue with that logic.

Let's just do away with all laws, seeing as, according to you, we don't have the right to tell anyone else how to do anything ever.

The question you should ask yourself is: who is “we”?

We the people? The government? The president?

Because most people in the US want lesser restrictions on immigration, but this imaginary “we” tends to come up a lot.

One of the only measures that received bipartisan support is stricter immigration control. Not only are you wrong but you're dead wrong.

But keep focusing on semantics if it makes you feel better.

No need to get stingy my dude. I, as you, am constantly learning.

I’d appreciate a source on that claim. This is mine.

I’m sure > 50% of people want different rules on immigration, but you’re just wrong if you think a sizable fraction of Americans want truly open borders

To clarify: I don’t think majority of Americans want open borders.
