The first law of holes does not take into consideration that the politicians who have to stop digging are the ones who are going to lose their jobs. They just are not going to do it.

This can be explained by another law called the prisoners dilemma.

If one negates the fact the voters are the ones putting them in office, that's true.

In this case, the prisoners dilemma refers to the legislators. Many of them know what the best thing to do is, but if they do it, their opponents will slaughter them. Their opponents would like to get it done, but they can't avoid taking advantage of the chance to slaughter the other guys. So even though both sides would like to balance the budget and behave responsibly, neither side does it because... the prisoners dilemma.

I get it.

But, their opponents will slaughter them ONLY IAW the voters.
That is the point.

I have zero issue with immigration but it must be legal. We also need to implement policies that many other nations have. You cannot immigrate here without being able to prove that you can and will provide a skill or service. We cannot allow immigrant to come here that do not have a job and they immediate are sucking on the government tit. You must prove you will be a net positive and not a negative to the economy.

The exact same Left: "You have to accept infinity brown people because you're not having enough kids. What's the matter? Is there something wrong with your dick, whitey, har har?"

Shove it up your arse, you greasy little turd.

Answer my question first, then that will allow me to answer yours.


The H1B program absolutely gets abused by certain companies. But even if it was perfectly reformed, the majority of this board would still favor disbanding it, which is my point. They don't care about the program other than their perception that it's a backdoor way to get brown people into the country.

America gets the lion’s share of these geniuses because they immigrate here.


And???? So what? They are American, same as the legal, hard working, liberty seeking immigrants that came before them.
They are a different class than the shitty, trashy, low IQ trash that Biden allowed in.
America is fine and will be fine.
Why do I say this?
What's the main difference between America and other countries???
We have an armed population. That matters

The only immigration we should embrace is the pre-1965 Immigration Act where immigration was based on merit instead of stupid liberal romanticism.

No thanks. We can just abandon progressive values (they're the ones reproducing the least), have government programs to encourage births, and keep exporting you and SFPLCs buddies.

We are becoming an Asian country. I don’t see that it can be stopped. You hear your regular Americans complain about the birth rate, but we don’t do anything about it.

This is a lie.

They just sit around all day in major cities.

Same with Europe, these Biden era migrants dont do anything but take resources.

Illegal Immigrants have been living off the American taxpayer well before Biden. Also, an argument can be made that perhaps the most destructive President for Illegal Immigration was Reagan. Granting 3 million low iq illegal immigrants ‘amnesty’ just emboldened more Illegal Immigrants to come here thinking they too one day would be granted amnesty. Add on birthright citizenship and how destructive that is and we got where we are today which is tens of millions of low iq, uneducated, unskilled Illegal Immigrants here living off the American taxpayer and birthing as many citizens as they can. It’s an archaic stupid insane system that is in the process of destroying this country.

If the base of GDP is a service economy based on population how does that GDP number benefit Americans. It's bullshite, we need a lower population.
