Okay let me rephrase that last confession. Why is it racist to want to keep illegal immigrants out? I understand laws are not always a good way to justify if things are right or wrong.
I think that people don't understand one of the main issues with illegal immigration, and also mass immigration, is that it doesn't create jobs. Immigration is fine in small numbers, yes. But when you let large amounts of any group into your country without limitations, that's when you see two things. 1. A significant jump in the unemployment rate in the country, which in turn causes the country to suffer from social programs that would otherwise normally work due to people paying less in taxes. 2. A slow but steady cultural death. When people immigrate in small chunks, they may bring own their own culture from other countries, but they and their descendents will adapt to the cultures that are found in that country. No matter if your ancestors were Swedish, German, English, or Mexican I would bet that, more likely than not, you share more in common with other random Americans, and Minnesotans (states have their own mini cultures), than any of those countries. This is what makes people want to go to those countries in the first place, and when you allow too many people to come at once, then they never adapt that culture, but instead kill it to be replaced by some mix that they didn't come here for in the first place. This is a large reason why Britain is voting to leave the EU, because this type of cultural death has already largely occurred in Sweden and Germany, and they would rather leave it themselves. A good video to watch is "The Truth About Brexit" from Stefan Molyneux.
And finally, this isn't just a conservative thing. While Trump is in favor of lowered immigration rates, so is Bernie Sanders. Open borders is a libertarian idea (and the one idea they have I largely disagree with), which has in recent years been adopted by more of the extreme left for some reason or another. Anti immigration isn't about saying "my culture is better than yours, so you can't come here", it's about saying "both of our cultures are important, so let's do immigration in a way that they both stick around on our own two corners of the globe"
So why is is racist to be against illegal immigration? I'm all for legal immigration, I feel we can benefit from it. But why does everyone defend illegal immigration so much? It's ILLEGAL for gods sake!
Damn Hamline confessions is lit! Reminds me of the old days haha
Funding out your younger cousin (13) is using an instrument you sold yourself out for and don't know how to tell your aunt how important it is to you.
Why don't you fuckers listen to Pinegrove?
Get on that shit.
#tbt to when I still worked at the admissions office and would regularly be stoned/buzzed when interacting with prospective students.
Just to clarify, non athletic fucks (naf's), is a narrow-minded and arrogant community who refuse to understand the dynamic of athletics. They continue to throw out claims that are not supported and they therefore lose credibility. They claimed we (athletes) do not receive the same amount of awareness as them, but we actually receive more to set the norms of our culture. No where on campus or within each sports team is sexual abuse influenced or advocated for. They also claimed we have free trips and no additional expenses, which is false again. All of this chaos is due to lack of research and obtaining correct information before making accusations. Please find facts regarding athletes at DIII institutions stating rape statistics, but I will bet you that there are not nearly as many studies on D3 compared to D1 because of the different instances between the two. Applying D1 statistics to a D3 institution is inaccurate and a waste of everyone's time.
