3:40 NO, you do not know what you're saying. I'm ok with those already here, never broken any other laws, and are contributing members of society and paying taxes, or willing to pay back-taxes to become citizens, but they should still have to go through the process everyone else does as it's not fair to those who work hard to come here legally. And also as I said in my much longer comment, not all here are good people, but some are violent and don't give a fuck about the people here or assimilating into our culture. The fact we even have to interview people in Spanish is outrageous. If you want to come here, learn our fucking language and have respect for the rest of us. IT'S WHAT EVERY OTHER COUNTRY REQUIRES. Why do we have to be the bleeding hearts and let everyone just walk all over us? Because you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't. And we must vet EVERYONE to make sure they're not already violent people, and if they are kick them out or give them death b/c most of the time they won't change at that point. You need to care about your fellow Americans more than people who are breaking our laws to get here and benefit off of our and our ancestor's work. And American citizens who break the law ALSO don't get to see their kids as we don't want kids in jail along side their parents who KNEW they were breaking the law already. It is the parents' responsibility to make good choices for their children. If they're not held responsible, then no one can be, because the state (govt) can't either. If there's no rule of law here, we're all fucked and things will get worse. 7:50 stop acting like you understand their jobs and why don't you go there and do some ride-alongs w/them if they'll let you instead of judging a law enforcement group from the outside.

2:50 reparations for people in Iraq?? Where are we going to get the money for this? I agree that all the wars we've fought are bullshit and just for the elite, but the damage is already done and we won't be able to make it right now. Only the people of those countries can. I just push for non-internventionalism now. I'm sad that Gravel who I would've voted for in 08 instead of corrupt, elite picked Obama who I saw right through, has become so misguided to think Bernie is offering any real solutions for us. Bernie is as lost as it gets, and if he's the real deal, then why does he have all these mansions yet never worked a real job in his life so doesn't understand how the economy works at all? It's funny cuz when he was forced to pay the $15 min wage that he advocates so much for, to his own staff, he had to cut people and hours, which is what happens in the business world too when govt forces new regulations on them. You can't force businesses to do what you presume to be good for people w/o there being another negative outcome. Free markets work best. Libertarianism is the way! We should be advocating for the smallest govt possible! That way that gives all of us Americans the most FREEDOM and we always prosper when this happens. Our Federal govt is only supposed to exist in order to defend us from other countries and possible domestic threats. IT is not supposed to be in the education, environmental, or healthcare business, period! Whenever it gets more involved in anything, it just sucks up more of our money and yet we see little positive results. Just research things more! It should be local and state govts more in charge of these things, and that way each community has a bigger say in how they want things to be in their land. Having all this bureaucratic bloat in govt is not good for any of us! Please wake up to this!

You guys can't keep trying to make this all emotion based when people came here knowing they were breaking our laws, and what you need to also research and report on is how gang drug cartel members are buying kids off of parents in Mexico, promising them safe passage to the U.S. b/c they KNOW that when they come over illegally w/a child, they will be treated better and held somewhere, and then hopefully released. Child sex trafficking is a real thing too, and must be discussed when it comes to illegal southern border crossing. It's our law enforcement's JOB to ensure the children coming over are actually w/their real parents FOR THEIR SAFETY. And when illegal immigrants come over knowing they're breaking and disrespecting our laws and then keep having children for years while they're here, it's not our problem to let them get away w/it just because they have kids now who depend on them, otherwise IT KEEPS ENCOURAGING WRONG AND ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR.
Let's focus on well-rounded solutions from securing our border, allowing those needing asylum to come thru LEGAL PORTS OF ENTRY otherwise they can't get asylum- that's how it works, respect our laws first and then we'll see if we can help you, and then let's work on how to make the process easier to apply for citizenship legally. The other main problem that many of you bleeding hearts don't get is America CAN NOT take care of the whole world! We just can't. It will bankrupt us and turn us into a third world country. When too many people who don't understand economics want free healthcare for all (FYI nothing is ever free and comes out of taxpayer pockets and will end up costing us all a lot more and we'll all get shittier service for it b/c we're using the very inefficient big govt bureaucracy to facilitate this and more people who want to take advantage of free stuff and not work will not be paying into it, but people like me will be forced to pay more), and you want all these safety nets for people, then you're going to get all kinds of people with no skills wanting to flood in here to be taken care of, and we CAN'T SUPPORT THEM. We're already in major debt and have politicians who do nothing to control the spending, and much of that is related to all the welfare programs people already get and they're still demanding more when THERE'S NO MONEY! We need to balance our budget first or it's our children who suffer!
You guys need to understand this and stop just thinking with your emotions and not researching all the aspects of this issue. There's suffering everywhere in the world! We can't pretend that will ever stop just because we want it to and are trying to be nice, compassionate people. We're screwing ourselves and OUR CHILDREN over by doing this on such a large scale as it's gotten to. America is still one of the best places to live for anyone, but come here LEGALLY, or fix the problems in your own country even if it means violent civil war. And if you want to keep being a bleeding heart then take these illegals into your own home and you pay for their food, etc and see how well you do. I suggest you still do background checks though, because there's still many who are violent and don't have good intentions, and have raped and murdered people after coming here, so do you really want that on your conscious too? Or are you just going to keep very naively believing that all the ones who sneak over are "good people" and just want a "good life"?
I come from the perspective that as far as our human rights go, i have the right to live freely and the duty to take care of myself, and I shouldn't be forced to pay for somebody else's welfare no matter their situation. That's great people want to help, but then take it upon YOURSELF, don't make our whole society pay for it based on your own morals as that's not the correct way to go about things. I love to donate to causes but putting all this strain on our system means less money for me to then give to where I want to. Put YOUR MONEY where YOUR MOUTH is and do what you can, but don't force redistribution of MY WEALTH - that I've worked hard for when I have my own debts I have to pay off - to others who decided to not even respect our laws in the first place, NO MATTER THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.
The world doesn't run like this and we're already the most giving nation BY FAR, as any other wouldn't care about their stories, they'd just kick them right back out right at the border and have guns pointed at them if they tried to come back in. We have the right and duty to protect our country from outside forces which will cause us harm collectively the more we allow this to go on. Countries have borders for a reason. You have no country, no law, no cohesive culture if you don't. Then you don't even know who your neighbor really is and Mexico has a LOT more violent people than us plus the other countries people are coming from in which they just use Mexico as part as their travel path. When people come from these other cultures with higher violence, it will transmit to over here too and cause less safe communities for us. Start researching others and get out of your own narrow-emotion-driven-only-view of the world.
