Immigration Issues Quotes

“At the different stages of recognition, reflection, and redress, practicing compassion provides potentially world-saving opportunities which otherwise likely would not exist.”
― Aberjhani, Illuminated Corners: Collected Essays and Articles Volume I.

“If any immigrants are found guilty of crime the punishment, for a minor crime such as shoplifting, should be double that of someone born or bred here.
A bit harsh? Not really. The country will have bent over backwards to offer them assistance, they’ll have cost the British taxpayer money, and if they repay that by committing crime then they need to be sorely punished. The British Taxpayer who’s helped them should feel safe from any criminal activities that they themselves are inadvertently funding”

“I once heard of a class teacher who’d punish every student wearing a blue shirt whenever a student wearing blue shirt had committed a mistake. I thought that was pretty bad. I then heard of a class teacher who’d punish every student wearing a blue shirt whenever someone in blue shirt committed a mistake somewhere else. Clearly, the worst is not a reality.”
― Pawan Mishra

“I know for a fact that if a country took me in and offered me assistance, I would be on my best behaviour forever! I would show total respect to the people of that nation and their laws. And I certainly wouldn’t expect special treatment.”
― Karl Wiggins, 100 Common Sense Policies to make BRITAIN GREAT again

“The Home Office informs us that there are around 400 ex-offenders from overseas currently seeking refuge in this country. One geezer, who has 78 offences to his name, managed to escape deportation on the grounds that he’s an alcoholic! Drinking alcohol, it seems, is illegal in his homeland, so because he claims he’ll be persecuted and tortured we’ve said, “Oh, bad show, old chap. Tough call that. Enjoy a spot of scotch myself from time to time. Quite understandable. Well why don’t you stay here at our expense? You’ll be able to fondle and grope any woman you like. We’d never deport you for that, I can assure you. You’ll be perfectly safe here.”

“It’s not that I hate everyone outside of England. I don’t. I don’t hate people from Syria, Afghanistan or Somalia. How could I? I don’t know them. How could I hate someone I don’t even know? That would take a special kind of madness. But if they refuse to make a useful contribution to society then we should send them back where they came from because we just can’t afford them anymore. It’s 10.30 p.m. and my front door’s locked. Why? Certainly not because I hate everyone OUTSIDE the front door, but because I love everyone INSIDE.
Nobody’s telling me not to not to lock my front door. Or are they? The EU certainly is.”
― Karl Wiggins, Gunpowder Soup

“The border remains a fluid, mutating, stubbornly troubling, enthusiastically lethal region. Perhaps it’s not a region at all. Maybe it’s just an idea nobody can agree on. A conversation that never ends, even when it becomes an argument and all participants kick over the table and spill their drinks and stomp out of the room. I was born there.”
― Luis Alberto Urrea, The Devil's Highway: A True Story

“[...] the "explosion" of Mexicans crossing the border without permission was entirely predictable. It was the inevitable consequence of of policies that slashed opportunities to migrate legally without addressing the forces pushing and pulling people across the line. People who had lived their lives across two countries legally and peacefully for decades were suddenly redefined as invaders and threats. The "Illegal immigrant" was thus invented in Washington, D.C., conjured out of contradiction.”
― Aaron Bobrow-Strain, The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez: A Border Story

“If a member of the military can be killed and left in the road, in front of his own house, then who will be safe in this country?”
― Joe Meno, Between Everything and Nothing

“The sky was as dark as it had ever been. Frozen, exhausted, and out of breath, they fumbled forward together once more. In the end, all they had done was cross from one kind of desolation to another.”
― Joe Meno, Between Everything and Nothing

“The immigration debate in America today is not really about immigration. Nor is it about national security, the economy or the vagaries of our outdated asylum system. Like much else in our civic life, the immigration debate is mostly a proxy for domestic policies and the culture wars. It just happens to a particularly potent proxy because it tends to elicit strong feelings about the American dream, ethnic identity, class and nationhood. That is to say, immigration is an issue that’s ripe for exploitation and cooption by both the Left and the Right. Each side can easily condemn the other without ever getting down to debating actual US policy on its merits. This is one reason why we still have an immigration system that dates from 1965.

“By maintaining the current refugee system, Canada unwittingly stimulates the international people smuggling business, a multi-billion-dollar criminal enterprise that may be as lucrative as the global trade in illegal drugs.”
― Daniel Stoffman, Who Gets In: What's wrong with Canada's immigration program - and how to fix it

“Painfully, because ancestral wisdom was sadly inadequate to the needs of this soil which, on approach, also revealed itself strange. Application of well-tried ways was here not enough. The peasant had constantly to consider his steps, to make decisions in matters that had passed without thought in the Old World—what to plant, and when, and how much, and where. To shoulder this burden of choices, the individual had not now the support of a village council. He acted alone. He had not long before the difficulties were apparent. He found little on his American farm that was familiar.”
― Oscar Handlin, Children of the Uprooted

“If we are all good people with good hearts and intensions. If we are all disciplined. We all respect and obey the law and authority. Genuinely love and care for each other. Wishing well and the best for each other. See each other as one big family than strangers. Then we are ready for one Africa, and we can do away with the borders, But if not.

What will open borders do is to allow worse and evil things to happen to good people in a bigger scale.
It will be easy to start a war. People won’t be reliable. The society and the system keeping things in place will fail.
More crimes and treason will be committed. It will be hard close to impossible to catch criminals and to sentence them. Criminals will have bigger market to steal and to commit their crimes. It will be easily for them to move around, to do money, diamond, gold laundering . Easy to smuggle people, stolen items, drugs, cars, cigarette. Fugitives, murders and rapist, pedophiles, serial killers. Opportunists , scammers or con man or women. Will fool and take advantage of lot of people. It will be easy for them to start cult and to manipulate people.
Corporates will get more cheap labor employes that they will enslaves and to extort.
Open borders is good business for criminals not for loyal honest citizens.

Ask yourself. How many things illegal things were caught at the border or customs ?
How many criminals and dangerous people were caught at the border or customs?
Ask yourself what would have happen If there were no borders ?
Open borders would have been a good idea if we were all good people and your unfortunately, we are not.
We all have hidden agendas and will say and do anything for money.”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos

“Quer saber? Eu comparo estes cento e cinquenta quilômetros à senda prometida por Deus às criaturas, que a percorreram antes de serem direcionadas ao paraíso ou ao inferno. Se alguém cair, vai para o inferno, e, se atravessar com segurança, chega ao paraíso. Quanto aos anjos… aqui seriam os guardas da fronteira.”
― Ghassan Kanafani, رجال في الشمس

“You can't leave the country that's within you.”
