| richardhutnik said: The argument against illegal immigration can't rest on "well, it is illegal", because you don't provide a moral argument for having the rules as it is now. If you change the laws, is it suddenly ok to have the same influx of immigrants as we do now? I also want to focus a bit back on the conservative side of things here. I do take issue with individuals delighting in individuals leaving because the economy is bad. It is like there is thankfulness that jobs are hard to come by. |
the moral agrument is to protect the national heritage. the networth of a country is what our fathers left us with, what they often died for, for us to have a good life.
Immigration in a small scale is natural and good for many reasons (cultural openness, genetic brassing...).
Immigration in a large scale justs degrades the quality of life in the country. Perfect example is the US... you go to a shop and the worker barely speaks english... it's your quality of life that is hurt, as you're gonna pay for the same service that you used to, but lose time, not get what your wanted because of language problems...
It's all nice to say people should share and the world is for everyone... but our nature is to want the best for ourselves, and migrating to an other richer country even if it decreases the quality of life of the others is just this and jsut as much egoistic as not wanting to share.
Communism failed for a reason... human nature.
