Quote:The problem with our immigration system is simple...
Immigration isnt' the problem at all. Here, or anywhere else for that matter. The problem is the economic laws of the capitalist system and conditions it creates that presupposes and necessitates immigration as a historically intrinsic feature of the system to begin with.
Being against 'illegal' immigration further dehumanizes a huge quantity of people who are, in a qualitative sense, already oppressed and socially stigmatized because of capitalist mythology and the attitudes it fosters toward people of other nations, and especially so when those people are not white. Just the very term 'illegal immigrant' itself is extremely derogatory and dehumanizing, and in most cases probably racist as well. This is all organically tied into capitalisms 'reserve army of labor' that fosters, creates, and reinforces competition between workers; both of the same nation and of different nations.
The only time "illegal immigration" was ever a problem here is when white european colonialists set foot on this continent and stole it from Native Americans, while enslaving and wiping out nearly 90% of said Native Americans in the process. So if you want to start deporting people based on an national status of '(il)legality', well, that would mean every white person here would have to start packing their bags tomorrow. So, you may want to re-think your position on the subject of immigration (legal or not).
