Re: "Never again"
Pretty awful really; but must be better awful, as it is than going from whence they came as although the term concentration camps has been applied my understanding of these camps is whilst they are not free to stay in the US they can return home if they wish. This is different from the incarceration of most camps deemed to be concentration in the past and particularly those poor economic migrants/asylum seekers detained in Libya.
Whilst not condoning how the situation is handled there has to be some control and it must be difficult, as it is here to assess, who is an economic migrant who is is a genuine asylum seeker, more so since many asylum seekers travel through several safe countries to arrive here and to a lesser degree at the Southern US border. Costa Rica doesn't appear much in the news. No Army-it was abolished in 1947 and money transferred to education and there are a few other countries en route or nearer than the US where safety but not economic prosperity can be found.

The problem being the pro immigrant anti everything Trump wont actually give a number of how many economic migrants they would let in one million ? Two million ? twenty thousand ? they wont give a figure because if they do say one million and 1.25 million want to come then they are being racist to the 0.25 million they turn away. What do the USA do open the border up ?

Those needs could well be bad ones, like those who want to blow things up, or carry on their criminal activities.
Unfortunately there are people who don't want to know about the unsavoury types and want to let everyone in regardless of why they're travelling.
I'll ask you though, how many should they let into the US?

Re: "Never again"
I would go with this really. I don't think immigration is a bad thing but if it affects a country's infrastructure (e.g. a crippling health service, over-stretched emergency services and/or policing, roads etc) then you have to start at least looking at it. But to be fair if people are coming here to work (in real jobs) and paying taxes then that may indeed offset any downside, but if they are coming here and being used as cheap labour then yes, you are obsolutely right. Immigration is a dificult subject because it is, for whatever reason, emotive. If you oppose it then you are branded a racist but if you welcome everyone with open arms you run the risk of destroying the infrastructure and everyone loses. There has to be some middle ground where you have an open door policy but with safeguards against those who would simply come to exploit the health service and the social security system. Of course refugees are a different matter and I would like to think we would never advocate a blanket refusal to entry. Even then you have the difficulty of knowing for sure who are genuinely desperate and/or in danger and those who are criminals or terrorists.RingoMcCartney wrote:Having limits on immigration is actually supporting the countries weakest.

Immigration is an incredibly difficult thing to deal with and I certainly wouldn't want the job but by and large I suppose the questions would be, 'Do you have a job? Do you want to fit in? Do you want to contribute? Are you willing to live by our existing laws? Are you willing to learn the language? If so then you are very welcome'.
These basic rules should apply to all as well, including Brits going to live abroad. We should all be able to live together and get along without all the bitching and fighting and arguing but sometimes there are other, more logical reasons for curbing immigration somewhat but those reasons should never be colour, race or religion (unless that means changing laws to accomadate it, but then I am against any law that is based on religion, even Christian).

That's the point some of us are trying to get across.
There has to be some sort of limit to the number of people who are let in, because in pretty much every country the infrastructure isn't good enough for the people already there, nevermind adding in huge numbers at once.
It's even harder when there are language barriers for various jobs, housing and access to other social needs.

Re: "Never again"
Australia limits the number of refugees it accepts each year and has a different number of migrants.
It also had that place in a different country to process refugees when they stopped their boats if I remember rightly and they were castigated for that plenty of people.
Yet for some reason Australia doing those things doesn't appear to be as much of an issue on here as the USA trying to stop refugees pouring over their border.

You tell me. You're the one that made the claim that immigrants are likely to become criminals.
You post your evidence of that and i'll post mine, starting with a CATO Institute link. That famous left-wing think-tank from America.

The US government offers free airplane rides back to their country of origin if anyone decides they don't like the detention facility. Not many Jews got that offer from Germany.
If they don't want to end up in a camp, they should stay home or apply for legal entry. I know their countries might not be as nice as the US, but frankly, that's just too bad. The US doesn't owe the whole world the right to move here. It was their choice to break the law coming to the US, and it's their choice to stay when they could be let out and sent home at any time.
