Drawing Lines Of Hate

This is apropos of nothing in the events of the last week, but it occurred to me yesterday, so I thought I'd share it.

The general case for allowing mass migration is that if you do not allow any given family of refugees into your country, you are heartless and probably full of hate.

How could you turn them away?

That's pretty hard to refute. At the San Diego airport, when the invasion was in full swing, almost all of the illegals you saw flying to destinations across the US were single, military-age males, but there were a few families like the one pictured above. You couldn't help but feel compassion for them. Still, can you take all such families?

Where do you draw the line? Taking an estimate at random, during the Biden-Harris years, we had 12,000,000 illegals come across the border. Many of our cities, the sanctuary ones in particular, are now having to cut services to citizens so they can care for the illegals. Some of our smaller towns who were targeted by the administration for total demographic change have been completely overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, the population of Haiti is 11.7M. Honduras' is 10.6M. Venezuela's is 28.8M. Nigeria's is 223.8M. It's a good bet that most or all of those populations would like to come here. Can you take all 275,000,000 of them? No? Where do you draw the line? Pick a number.

No matter what number you choose, there will be a family just like the one above left out in the cold, living in poverty. No matter how many you bring into the country, you can be accused of anti-immigrant hate and racism because that you don't care enough to allow that family into the US.

This is how you get to infinity, by the way. One more. Always one more.

It is the act of drawing the line that is hateful. Any limit at all is racist.

Now imagine that you don't pick a number at all. You say that we must accept anyone if they want to enter the country, yea, even unto 275,000,000 of them.

You only say that because you're full of anti-Muslim hate. Why didn't you include the 23.3M of Syria and the 240.5M of Pakistan? It's because you hate them, don't you? How can you be so cold and heartless?

Why do you hate them?

I have to stop here. It makes me sick to even have to communicate with hate-filled racists like you. You're the reason Trump won.

Oh, and btw... no 'new immigration laws, etc' until existing ones are ENFORCED. Prove you are up to enforcing existing law... then we can (if need be) talk about new laws.

"Taking an estimate at random, during the Biden-Harris years, we had 12,000,000 illegals come across the border."

So what's the source of this number? Because it doesn't seem to be reflected in the population growth numbers shown here:
https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/

I have yet to see a single solid number for the number of illegal immigrants. The closest thing I see is the "Border Apprehensions and Expulsions",

https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/

But that, pretty much by definition, is the number of people who *failed* to get into the country illegally, isn't it?

There is the number of people applying for asylum, which *is* something that can be counted accurately,

https://ohss.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2024-10/2024_1002_ohss_asylees_fy2023.pdf

but while the number of applicants for that are indeed up, they top out at well under a million per year, and only a tiny fraction of them actually get asylum granted.
