Argue against her points. Somebody tell me where she's wrong on anything.
Ryan supports the Trans Pacific Partnership so that any job that hasn’t already been shipped to Mexico can be sent to Asia. He supports the DREAM Act, or the Leave No Child In Mexico or Central America Behind Act. He opposes a wall on the grounds that, I quote, ‘America is not defined by its borders.’ What does that mean? So if I’m standing in France or Brazil, does that mean I’m really in America? I’m in Wisconsin today—am I really in Paris? What does that mean? Did he get some bad cheese curds? We have drugs and criminals pouring across the border and Paul Ryan’s response is to give us a nonsensical phrase from a Hallmark card: ‘Our Country Is Not Defined By Its Borders.’ Well, I guess a home is not defined by walls, electricity and plumbing, but we still want walls, electricity and plumbing. We not only have immigrants coming in taking jobs, committing crimes, creating victims of illegal alien crime, we also are bringing in immigrants legally who periodically flip out and murder Americans so Donald Trump has a suggestion for how we should not be at mass breakneck speed importing people whose religion teaches them that they should kill us. There’s 7 billion people in the world, we don’t have to take in any of them. Can we at least not take the ones who some percentage of whom are going to flip out and slaughter large numbers of us?
Here's the problem, This is all leaning towards a nationalistic narrow minded and misunderstanding point of view.
The whole borders don't make a country thing, well, myopically yes, they do make a country, but, does not America's greatness overflow it's borders? Can you see the Idea of America as more than simply a landmass? maybe you can't, idk, and none of that takes away from the idea that borders are good, but they aren't they only thing that defines America are they? So yeah, that's a weak defense of a confusing statement, but there you go :p
First, America is great, but yes, we've ALWAYS had our own problems, has that ever stopped us from taking in immigrants and refuges? Ask a Cuban. So saying that we need to stop all immigration legal or illegal because they might be criminals and cause problems is kind of like punishing them all for the actions of a few, and she did mention LEGAL immigrants not just illegal. But it's all based in fear, fear of the few that are criminals, well as is used in the gun control argument, you aren't going to stop those, wall, no wall, the criminals making money from coming here with drugs or cheap labor or sex trafficking, etc... they will find a way to keep coming here to keep making money, and while they are here they will continue their criminal activity. you might slow them down, maybe, but if we can't do anything about guns, why do anything about illegal immigration?
more fear mongering " Can we at least not take the ones
who some percentage of whom are going to flip out and slaughter large numbers of us?" what percentage is that? what percentage would be acceptable? She is right that the data is crazy unorganized and really hard to find.
But again, the main issue I have with it is her tone, her fear based motivation, ooooh look out for that brown person, or that other brown person. all the brown people are criminals and trying to kill us!!!
she NOT ONCE mentions the main way illegal aliens get here, OVER STAYING LEGAL VISAS.
