I’m Irish and live in Dublin, so there is no “me” in this scenario. I’m just stating how the system works, which as far as I know would easily absorb everyone from Tuvalu, because yes, there aren’t many of them. It’s not Tuvalu’s fault that they can’t exceed the limit on their own, it’s just life. In addition to the numerical limits placed upon the various immigration preferences, the INA also places a limit on how m…

India is as diverse as Africa and Europe. I find this classification of Indian people as the same as wrong. I demand there be a similar 7% cap for Africa and Europe too. After all, EU is a combined political and economic entity, makign it a federation, just like India.

Africa is a continent, India is a country. The cap isn’t based on diversity, but a country. The reason being the same as several people including myself have stated, namely so that one country doesn’t dominate at the direct expense of all others. Your personal demands based on what you personally want because it would advantage you aren’t how policies anywhere are made.

Given that, and given that your argument is neither consistent nor in good faith, I’m out. It’s clear that you don’t care about diversity or discrimination or anything else, you’re just all about personal advantage. That’s not an argument, it’s a form of bigotry.

I guess Gandhi, Mandela, MLK were also about personal demands of freedom and equal treatment. Definitely not in good faith.

Weird and here I thought a path to citizenship had broad Republican support, they just want it tied to stronger checks on who enters. But keep winning votes and changing minds by calling your opposition racists and bigots. That will win your votes.

"stronger checks" is an escape valve to stick practically anything in there. Give me a break haha.

People like you mocking the children killed by the likes of MS-13 gangs are what drives a lot of the push for the wall at all cost. Tribalism at its worst because they get so angry at calloused voices mocking the innocent dead, they just want to stick it to the opposition at all cost.

Yes, dude. If I already know you’re discriminatory and I still apply, you’re still discriminatory. It’s in the antecedent of the clause. Just apply basic propositional logic.

If I know that by jumping off of a bridge I will get hurt but I still jump, it is the bridge that is at fault. Brilliant logic on your side!

Haha, the irony of it all.

Whether you know that jumping off a bridge will hurt has no impact on whether it will hurt. It's not a question of fault. It's a question of fact.
