The problem is unsolvable. You have two sets of people with sets of claims on the same land. Both sides have an unshakable resolve that they are in the right and nothing is going to change that.

No, it is solved by ethnic cleansing or by prevention of ethnic cleansing.

There is a large democratic majority that supports border enforcement including deportation. Shouldn't the policy conform to the majority.


No, total majority rule without safeguards is no better than tyranny. Even ancient Greeks knew that. So did founding fathers.


Latin America has its own problems with or without American intervention. Venezuela elected Hugo Chavez all by itself and he destroyed the country. I am for a very lax immigration system but one that does have some form of accountability and enforcement the status quo is untenable.


Why do you think you don't. It could be you who is deceived. Everyone thinks they are the person that sees things for what they are but it can't be true for all of us.


I am 100% sure there will be an election in 2028.


Yes,just like there are elections in Hungary, or Venezuela, or there were elections in the Soviet bloc.

You will have your banana elections for your banana Republic all right.

capitalism is so that strangers with no reason to cooperate can via the market. It should have nothing to say about you network or closer relations and how you interact. Altruism has a large place in life but in general it is directed to friends and family then your larger social groups.


Nit: That's not the defining property of capitalism. The defining property of capitalism is that the means of production are privately owned, as opposed to e.g. market socialism.


healthy society only work if most people are virtuous and take care of themselves and their families. The cost to care for the neglected and broken isn't sustainably if its more than a tiny percentage of the population.


Is there research on that, economic or sociological? What percentage?


It also makes switching jobs lower cost. If I just change where I log in and I don't know anyone I work with who cares.
