Universal Health Care? Illegal aliens get it, why not us?
@videosiftbannedme:
That system is painfully difficult, even for well-educated Europeans who follow the process to the letter. My wife is from Finland, and it took years to get all the paperwork done, and that was before 9/11...these days it's nearly impossible to legally immigrate to the U.S.
Also, there's no method available at all to unskilled Mexicans who want to come here to work. The only avenue for them to come here at all is through winning a spot in the "ethnic diversity lottery", which hands out something like 1200 visas for entering the country, out of hundreds of thousands of applications.
Illegal entry is the only way for them to get here, and given our lack of enforcement on companies who hire them, there's still plenty of incentive for them to come.
It's unfortunate that the system is difficult. That's life. Since when is *anything* that you really want, easy? And there is a method for unskilled workers to come here. You acknowledged it yourself by stating it was in place, but difficult. But, just because it's difficult, does not exclude it, especially if it is the law and required. Why should immigrants be allowed to "cheat"? Because it's hard? Because they're unskilled? Fine, then I could use Appeals to Pity and other logical fallacies and start complaining that I'm not a CEO and make $300,000/yr.
Nope. There is absolutely no reason why they can't follow the rules.

Whoa! Twice in a row I've agree with and upvoted your comments - let's not make this a habit! People are going to start thinking you're my sockpuppet. Videosift may once again ban you.
Heh. No worries! Your secret is safe with me. (Aw shit, how do I make this private again??)
Friends torment their Cataplectic friend! Hilarious!

I'm all for immigration. LEGAL immigration. We already have a system in place that allows for anyone to come join our country, if they so choose to. But to enter illegally, and then expect amnesty? Uh uh. How you can you possibly cry amnesty from a country whose rules you can't abide by in the first place?
So come on in, you're more than welcome. Just respect what you so desperately want.

Idiot Judge Says "Black Hole" is Racist
blackoops... I mean "without color". And since when is Zorro, dressed all in "without color", bad? And Shaft was a hero too, right? He's bl..."without color".Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get some Freedom fries and go Freedom-kiss my girlfriend. Hopefully I won't drop into the middle of the street because somebody stole the personhole cover.

With that said though, this didn't appear to be a breaking story, so the guy probably just fat fingered the title.
