      Situations often caused by US policy like the drug war, or as a result of climate change. Climate refugees are only going to get more common too.

      But won’t you think of Kevin from Nowhere, Idaho and his very real fear that droving gangs of bloodthirsty, drug-fuelled migrants will vote in his local elections? THINK OF THE KEVINS! /s

      No, when you have sex traffickers and drug cartels coming over, I don’t think that’s very smart. What I think needs to happen is to lower the limit of how long it takes to become a citizen of this country, that’s what really needs to change.

          They already are banned. I wonder, why there is a fentanyl crisis in the US?

              Yeah but then you probably say you want to ban all guns as well, just so that people can come over undocumented and bring over whatever they want. Again, doesn’t sound smart. What about all the people who did it the legal way? I don’t think having completely open borders is a great idea. It’s why I advocated for lessen the amount of time it takes to become a citizen, so they can do it the legal way and don’t have to get deported. You don’t even want people to be documented? You’re just going to let anyone in from one of the countries with the highest crime rates?

                As much as it must appeal to all sorts of criminals to see so many of their peers represented in the US government I believe most asylum seekers aren’t just looking for new criminal job opportunities.

                Also yes I’m what I would describe as a pragmatic anarchist so indeed we should eventually get rid of all national borders.

                You’re a very scared little person aren’t you. Everyone is out to get what little you have. Why don’t you take a look at what your own countrymen are taking from you? Why are you worried about migrants when your own homegrown capitalists are robbing you blind.

                Your threat isn’t Brown people my friend.

                  Nobody brought up race except you. And ah, I can see now, you’re an anarchist? Enjoy making below $15/hour then chump. Cry about why nobody gives you opportunities, its because your mind is absolutely smooth as butter. I will gladly keep all my firearms, thank you very much for giving me more reasons to do so. I just love how you immediately pulled the race card, that’s how you try to win all your conversations eh? Pathetic.

                    Oh I wonder what kind of people pass through the US Mexico border to enter the US.

                    You don’t have to worry about my financial situation I’m doing extremely well compared to the American median, which should be much higher than it is, but aren’t billionaires so cool? Which one is your favorite?

                    Maybe I’ll sneak in through your northern border and spook you later. I might not look so recognizably foreign though so be careful of every single person you see we’re coming for you: boo!
