what does me living in the US without papers have to do with the fact that mexico is now shoulder to shoulder with malaysia, indonesia, and south africa? lol, yet another random attempt to create something out of nothing in order to attack me.

i admire your perseverance though, however pathetic it might be. rofl

Actually it has come a long way, just like Malaysia, Indonesia, and South Africa. In fact, Mexico now has the 11th largest economy in the world. And no, in case you were wondering, people in South Africa don't run around naked, nor do they live in huts. They have modern cities like Cape Town, where they party with Tiesto in their Frida Giannini latest fashions.

And also, you forgot to mention the other countries on that list - China, India, and Brazil. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that you left out the fastest booming economies in the world - which are now "shoulder to shoulder" with Mexico.

'

you are correct in your assumption that i intentionally left out china and india. i left them out because their GDP is representative of their sheer massive population, but based on per capita, they are actually lower compared to mexico. mexico's GDP per capita is more comparable to malaysia and south africa.

good job at trying to stir up a pathetic attempt to label me as racist. rofl

PS: You seem like a really jolly fella, always laughing at the end of every sentence. Yet your posts are so negative - quite the dichotomy.

well the thing is, i dont see my opinions as "negative". i consider them "realistic". you are the one who thinks they are "negative". so yeah, i choose to consider every issue from many different angles and not have tunnel vision mentality and be happy with it

That's bullshit, and you know it.

Oh, and go back and re-read my post. It says "in case you were wondering". So if you weren't wondering, it didn't apply to you. Stop projecting.

yeah, i wasnt "wondering"...you're the one who started projecting. i was pointing at the fact that YOU were assuming that i was, and you were. if you didnt assume that, you wouldnt have tried to tell me that south africa has modern cities and peopel dont run around naked when all i did was compare mexico to south africa based on economic strength. who's projecting? rofl

stop trying to back paddle you are making yourself look ridiculous. haha...you are trying to argue your own previous post. hilarious.

All that poll proves is that people believe more can be done at the border, "not doing enough" and "not secure enough" are different stories..

"The border is secure enough to move forward with CIR" what part don't you get? Even if border security needed to be addressed it is no longer a necessity for CIR to move forward.

So you lose.

I compared the negative effect of focusing only on "pure numbers" and not risk factors in both cases.

So you lose.

what you "think" doesn't cut it and again thats where you lose.

Again, I never said border enforcement was not a priority, only that according to the people who know what they are talking about, the border is secure enough now to move forward with Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

sugarcoat it however you'd like, it was intended to be a racist remark.

So thats the only statistic you think they looked at during the entire border security hearing? (<-rhetorical question just to be clear) Like I have already explained, Schumers statement was made after being briefed by those most informed on border security. All you did was quote one statistic from the article and then change the sentence after it to make it seem like an original idea.

"put more money in border security along mexico border. gotta stop more headaches sneaking in before we address the illegal population."

by only mentioning that there needs to be a boost in border security along the mexican border before moving CIR forward, you implied that it was the only problem left, or that needs, to be dealt with.

It makes perfect sense, you not understanding it does not change the fact.



Seemingly every point you attempt to make is littered with despairing personal attacks, running out of air?
