The DACA masterpiece

[treysolid]

take it easy on developing nations, ksuw. it's hard to crawl out from under colonialism followed almost immediately by ecomonic imperialism.

That's a nice sentiment, and I agree to an extent. But we could still stand to be a bit more selective in our immigration policies. Our immigration policies currently favor the importation of poverty (and poverty's associated ills, like crime) over skill. Glad a few folks are least walking back from arguing there aren't a lot of shithole countries in the world. Progress.

Should also start merit-based deportation of americans.

This would be amazing

I think this should seriously be floated in Congress just to see what exactly the defense is.  Trump has already openly questioned whether simply being born in the U.S. is enough to make you a U.S. Citizen.

Is australia still the place to exile those people to?

If you only let in smart immigrants they’ll take all the good jobs.

Huh. Isn't it kind of racist to support importing poorly educated brown people (as opposed to highly skilled brown people) to work all of our crap jobs?

While I was kidding, I also didn't say anything about a person's skin color or country of origin.

Sorry. Im sure you’re not a racist. I was just taking a turn at the Dems’ “call people I disagree with racist” game. And not very well since now I just feel guilty doing it.

Why do you think KSUW likes Trump so much?

Why am I so in your head, bub? It’s getting weird. But in answer to your question, I posted my Trump pros and cons and report card in the 2017 in review thread.

Because I just don’t understand how someone could be as bad of a person as you and it’s frustrating to me.

You want to believe that, so I guess you just want to frustrate yourself. You don’t know the first thing about me or my family but you want to call me a racist because I believe in American Exceptionalism and more selective immigration policy. That is a disgusting, shameful thing to do. Whatever, keep on with the hate.

This is a classic deflection technique of racists. They aren't calling me a racist, they're calling all of us racists.

I saw some of the tweets from Republicans disavowing Cheeto's comments, none of the replies were calling them racists.

Meanwhile, here is the psychobabble from the GOP’s Senate negotiating partner:

I mean IRL you probably are a good person as most of us are. You are just a pretentious egotistical prick on here though.

Here's why, Donny.

He's a rough ridin' racist tbt, don't soft shoe that crap.

[catastrophe]

KSUW gets really worked up if you call him racist.  And also if you say he shouldn't call Nigera a shithole.

Very complex.  Like a someone who makes me uncomfortable.

Made up name.

Also, I am legitimately curious to know if someone immigrated to a country because it had more women in political power...

[gatoveintisiete]

Norway sounds pretty great, I wonder what the stats on immigration into this great place look like for the last 40-50 years.  They may be onto something.

[gatoveintisiet]

You can’t really live in Norway unless you can prove you are rich or already have a job which will probably require that you speak Norsk and have an advanced degree.

They are picky about what country you are coming from.  You don’t qualify for welfare or other government benefits until you have been there long enough to have paid in enough taxes to cover it.

They pretty much have their crap together, which is probably a 3D point Trump was making.  That’s right he was trolling dumbasses again.

He means America First, unless you aren’t white(just like the POTUS has expressed).

[puniraptor]

I believe in American Exceptionalism too, but our definitions seem to be completely opposite.

I think what kdub actually believes in is American exclusionism

The scoreboard metric

ok, so that adds vietnam and afghanistan to the list of countries better than us. what else?

The fun thing about liberals playing the “lets call everyone who doesn’t think like me a racist” game is that it leads them increasingly bizarre statements, like the above. It’s adorable.

Who was I calling a racist? If you think (like ww does) that America is simply better than every other country because we win wars, then by that logic we aren't better than Vietnam or Afghanistan.

K. I don't think that's what WW was saying. And if you weren't calling anyone a racist, my apologies.

Anyone can cherry pick one statistic or another but all things considered America is better than every other country in the world. This isn't seriously debatable. We enjoy one of the highest standard of livings overall. The other countries with a GDP per capita even close to (or higher) than us have significantly smaller and less ethnically diverse populations and do not import poverty nearly at our level. Even our "poor" enjoy a standard of living significantly better than the poor in developing (aka shithole) countries.

We are the pinnacle of scientific achievement and are still the only country to have sent men to the moon (we did this 50 years ago, btw). You may recall that we liberated an entire continent from a genocidal maniac a while back. We've got the best music, the best movies, the best indoor plumbing. We enjoy relatively great freedom and tax our citizens at relatively low rates. We drive bigger cars and live in bigger homes and enjoy a far bigger diversity of goods and services to choose from than most countries.

Take it all together, warts and all, it's tough to find anybody who's better than the US of A.

There's a lot of false assumptions here. You assume that people from other parts of the world want the same things that Americans want. Based on an accumulation of a whole bunch of different metrics, the quality of life that America provides it's citizens is 19th-best in the world. This whole mindset is the reason we continue to slide down in terms of infant mortality rate, life-expectancy and education.

Oh good heavens.... the old "infant mortality rate" myth resurfaces. A favorite of liberals. And yes, I do assume people from other parts of the world want what we have, which is why so many are trying to get in. A lot of people also don't know what they're missing out on. I can say, objectively speaking, any sane person would take the size of American cars and homes over what they have to settle for in Europe, if they could. My parents host foreign military officers from these "enlightened" NATO European countries every year. When they arrive, they buy a car. They rent a house. They take road trips. They all buy grills and BBQ sauce by the case to ship home when they leave (not shitting you). They effing love it here. These folks actually have a pretty decent standard of living as military officers, and they all elect to extend their "tours" in the US if they possibly can. One of the families has a special needs child and the wife actually cried when it was time to go home to Denmark with its supposedly superior socialized medicine. The ability for her son to see specialists here was far far better. They're trying to come back.

So you can say "it's all relative." That's one of the most bedrock arguments of liberalisms. Except at the end of the day, it isn't. Not really.

You've made this argument before. Yes, these are pros but there are also cons.

There’s a thread on this. Search it. One of my favorites actually. The “yeah but per capita” argument!

[Dugout DickStone]

Trump is playing to his base who have never left the state they live in but are pretty sure the rest of the world is awful.  At least the non-white parts
