I'm not trying to get in a long discussion on my phone. But lets just say you have a warped view of bad. If you dislike how a government is being run, then you leave.
The southern American settlers didn't leave. They stayed, and tried to impose their will on the Mexican government, despite Mexico already compromising on several issues, slavery being one of them and one of the biggest. The people you're defending didn't even take your advice
Taking texas (because they won) doesn't make them bad.
The Southern American settlers were given land (more than just Texas, 7 of our current states), citizenship, and protection, by the Mexican government. They were allowed to keep their slaves. They were allowed other accommodations that were illegal in Mexico. Yet they still refused to follow even some of the most basic laws of their new country and meet their government half-way. They didn't pay taxes, or sell off Mexican ports. They attacked Mexican soldiers, and provoked a war against a nation who hadn't even been independent for 20 years, taking a massive portion of their newly acquired territory.
Imagine the US
giving citizenship to an illegal, giving him free land and supplies, protecting him with our government, and bending several laws despite other naturally born Americans having to follow the laws to its specifics, tolerating the newly US citizen not paying taxes, and in return the ex-illegal attacks a
US soldier all because the government didn't want to budge on giving them a gun permit (referencing the cannon issue). Now imagine a
group of people doing that to us. That's not bad to you? That's ok to you? Treason...is not bad...ok..to you? Ok kid.
Again, these were Southern American slave owners we are talking about, who's "bad" past is well documented, even beyond slavery. They didn't represent the entire US. The North (where the government was) only got involved because of the Alamo (which again, was a retaliation, the southern american immigrants attacked first in the Battle of Gonzales) and did give Mexico $15 million, albeit a small amount for so much land taken. So as I said in my original post, we are talking about a small group of whites, not all of them. Unless you have some historical truth to your remarks beyond "Taking texas because they won", sshhh.
As for your view on immigration, ill reference Milton Friedman.
It is not my view. I told you historical fact. You can fact check it and learn more (you clearly should), in the Library of Congress. They have a website. Put that phone of yours to more scholarly use.
Illegal immigration is good so long as the illegal don't use the benefits provided to citizens.
We use cheap labor but no one is forcing it. It comes willingly. If the use our benefits, then we get no value for their labor and they are a mostly un taxed burden on our society.
False. You're being a sheep again. Losing the undocumented workers we currently have in the US would equate to over a trillion dollar net loss to our GDP. Again, feel free to put that phone of yours to better use. Undocumented workers also contribute billions in both state and local taxes. Undocumented worker are also not eligible for most public benefits as they don't have the paperwork, which should've been an obvious thing to you, but I know how sheep are.
From both a historical and economical perspective, undocumented workers have always been a benefit to the country, mainly due to their involvement in agriculture and infrastructure, the countries two founding industries. Thus the reason the US has always welcomed Mexican immigration, except in times of economic crisis, crisis, that the immigrants didn't contribute to. Notice I said "Mexican", as even during times of Mexican immigration surplus encouraged by the government, other immigrants weren't allowed access as easily. All of this can be fact checked. Since I have to deal with this information on a daily basis in my school studies, I'll leave the research to the one who needs it most.
To end. There is evil in all groups, but ill gladly take the title of most evil because it means you're at the top.
You acknowledge there is evil in all groups, yet you made such a fuss over talking about the evils of your own? The same person who constantly posts threads referring to the bad sides of other races, particularly black people. But that's ok. We're all hypocritical from time to time.
As far as your last statement, bravo sir. You'll gladly take the title most evil, because, in your mind, that means you're at the top. Throughout history, in many different cultures, the root of many dark events stem from a willingness to embrace evil out of a superiority complex.
This will be the last post from me on this topic. It's clear you're only armed with viewpoints rather than supportive facts, so no need for a lengthy convo like our previous encounters. Which is ok, at least your have an opinion. I wouldn't even know the historical or economical implications if I weren't forced to learn it for my major. Until the next conversation. Good day sir
