US Immigration Crisis
I didn’t see an immigration thread so I figured I would add one. This problem seems to be worsening everyday of the current admin. Hopefully some of our new elected officials can help with this. Mr. Luttrell is a great start
I copied it from someone else and was afraid it was fake.
I guess the good news is that it does appear to be during Trump's first term, so it's not a total farce.
As a leftist, I do not believe in immigration to America. This is a horrible racist place where you can't get free healthcare and everyone hates everyone who isn't a white male. By contrast, Mexico and many European countries are diverse and welcoming to minorities. I care very deeply about migrants and wish them to be in countries that care about them.
A+ trolling. As a white male I'm relieved that everyone likes me.
Unless salaries for unskilled labor are really high in the states, or the news about how high cost of living and housing got there are grossly exaggerated, there is a certain irrationality with all these poor people being so desperate to illegally immigrate there. Same for other rich western countries btw.
And if you're rich, an entrepreneur, innovator etc, now, what are the incentives? Unless the news of excessive regulation and taxation are also grossly exaggerated. Keeping in mind it is not even clear they are welcoming to this type of legal immigration.
Emerging markets in asia, the middle east, etc, look way more promising tbh.
That's fine. People should live where they want and you may well be correct to advise people to go somewhere else. But, if you love freedom, you'll want to leave it up to them.
Say I want to sell my house and someone who lives below 32 degrees latitude wants to buy it. Can you imagine how much someone would have to loathe freedom to want to interfere with that?
wanting "freedom" within your country does not mean guaranteeing "freedom" in other country's.... This had devastating results and even "freedom" Canada has a 25 tax for foreign buyers on houses now. Allowing a foreigner to buy property is not about morals or freedom. its so the person owning the property's can make money. They are not allowed to move to the country because they buy property. it has nothing to do with freedom its simply financial
Wrong. You hate freedom. Next you'll probably tell me that if you love freedom for your own race that still counts as loving freedom.
What you love is privilege, not freedom.
I don't love or hate freedom. I just question its existence and if it exists or not its just a gimmick word that has no real meaning in politics
microbet idea of freedom doesn't include property rights for land, which instead for others are one of the fundamental elements necessary for freedom to flourish.
Under microbet model "public land" is "everyone in the world land".
Under rightwing libertarian models, public land is land owned by the citizens/residents (details can change) of that polity (federal , or state, or county in the USA)
Under all libertarian models, property rights (when allowed) are very close to absolute. And for material things, property rights mean among other things to be able to decide who gets access to the thing.
Microbet does agree with that (afaik) for stuff like a car, he doesn't call people who aren't willing to share their car with others "haters of freedom".
But he does call people who aren't willing to share THE LAND THEY OWN AS A GROUP with someone else who doesn't own it, "haters of freedom", because he denies land can be owned basically.
Why do you want a rich person from japan to own 20 houses in your country?

I have an issue with the bolded, as you neglected to mention that they're all fat creationists who love gunz and the Bible and all want a bible that transforms into a gun. I totally agree with you on the white male part, which is why I want to go there, preferably illegally and bask in the love until I'm eventually deported by federal Law Enforcement agencies with badass sounding acronyms.
I further agree that Mexico shows migrants some much needed love

I also agree re Europe. As a European I feel we're a better class of people. (Your class. Prolly all embezzlers too😀)
It's why we act snooty to Americans due to the whole classless fat creationist gun lover thing, who never did anything for us except the Marshall plan, which was overrated anyway. We have far more liberal governments, such as Giorgia Meloni's and that Erdoban guy's.
Btw how many migrants have you adopted or at least put up? I know it must be many as you care very deeply about them. Have you moved out of your home to give to them? I moved out of mine and gave it to migrants, as I hadn't bothered paying rent so kinda had to but I felt good about it overall. So was it seven, eight, 14 migrants you adopted?
Because i want the owner of the house to be able to do what he wants with his property, which includes selling to the best offerer whomever he is. That's the freedom i protect, the freedom of the owner to sell to anyone he wants.
Its just such a weird take when you can simply look north of the border and see a country that is held hostage by its housing market or across the sea to Australia. It would happen to the states with more time too your just vastly bigger so it takes longer. The poor potential immigrants don't benefit from what hes proposing its the billionaires foreign and domestic. Your stricter rules have actually helped you quite a bit vs the rest of the world but you guys can't see that for some reason

the only thing holding housing markets hostage are regulations. People should be allowed to build how much they want on their land , and to do so without insane rules about how to build (property rights again).

that's fine but charge him 25% . You can't buy a house in Japan . your also hurting the owner long term because when he goes to buy or rent his next house the price has skyrocketed. Your freedom logic is hurting you financially against others who might not care
I didn't read what Mussolini said, and lol if you just accept whatever he said. But I'll give you an analogy. I'm not sure if you're smart enough to understand it but maybe. I don't think murder should be legal, but if it were and a Japanese person was murdering people in the United States I don't think the answer would be to outlaw Japanese people.

what does a failed dictator from 80 years ago matter is this a poster I didn't read? Clearly your not as smart as you think if you don't learn from others mistakes. Trying to trick me with an analogy is not the own you think it is. Also it doesn't even make sense you have to define what a Japanese person is thats a culture not a status in a country . its also just common sense one persons actions is not the fault of others
Thanks for clearing up whether you are smart enough or not.
I mixed up Lucium and Mussolini. Sorry, I have trouble keeping the Italian fascists straight.
btw I don't even think the us has an "immigration crisis" You guys have plenty of room before its any kind of a problem. You just showed really poor logic in the few posts I have read. Ill give you the benefit of the doubt this is not the norm
your so smart but lost an argument and had to get away from the facts and try to be the riddler to get your dopamine hit from thinking your owning people on an internet forum. huehuehue. also me and "Mussolini" were disagreeing

I don't know why you think this is the case, but in fact you can buy houses in Japan as a foreigner.

The short answer is: YES! Foreigners have (almost) exactly the same rights as Japanese citizens when it comes to purchasing property or land in Japan, whether you have a permanent resident status or not, or even based on your visa type. There’s no extra requirements for foreigners and no extra taxes either. You can even purchase Japanese real estate as a non-resident on a tourist visa (which is what I did) or from outside the country (though the latter is not recommended, for several reasons we’ll discuss later).

They don't, because the immigrants aren't entering to live in the many empty areas of the country, rather mostly in the same few sought after places everyone wants to live in.
But even solving that (and it could be solved by de-regulating housing massively), fact is significant forms of welfare state exist in the USA, and so immigration can become a crisis at any time even if you have "infinite room", if you take in people who will be net tax-takers.
