Immigrants are considered subhuman

A man who put out water jugs in a wildlife refuge in the Arizona desert for illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico was convicted of littering and sentenced last week to probation and 300 hours of picking up trash, after he refused to pay a fine.

  1. Thanks for this article. Immigrants make countries great. America's greatness comes in large part from her immigrants. Ditto with many other countries.

    Similarly, I believe Jewish immigration to Palestine would greatly benefit Palestine. I also believe that Palestinian immigration to Israel would greatly benefit Israel (which is why I support a version of right of return.) For example, perhaps 25% of all Israeli freshman admittances should be reserved for non Israeli Palestinians. All of these should be fully paid for with Israeli scholerships.

    I don't understand why my views are so unpopular among Israelis and Palestinians.

  4. Because your understanding of the issue hasn't reached yet a degree where your opinions such as the above can be considered cogent..Something is missing here....While you may have made a lot of efforts already to understand the problem you still have a lot to do. More listening maybe and less assertions.

  5. I know two people who came here that way.  One a very close friend.  I can't imagine either of them dying of thirst in the desert...

  6. Anand, more immigration of people who steal Palestinian land would benefit Palestinians?  Yes, and more thieves should move into my apartment building.

  9. What does "Hasbara" mean?

    I don't support the ILA and other Israeli gov't associations that confiscate Palestinians private property through eminent domain type policies. The vast majority of Jewish immigrants don't steal land. The Israeli government confiscates it and then sells it or rents it or gives it to someone.

    I think that Jews who live in Palestine, become Palestinian citizens, and work in Palestine would benefit the Palestinian economy. I also think that Israelis allowing Palestinians to immigrate to Israel would boost the Israeli economy.

    Hebrew for bullshit! A field of study at major Governemental and academic Israeli institutions. Roughly it's Israeli fine art.

  16. Yes, this is definitely true, immigrants are seen as subhuman by some in the States. However, even if they are not immigrants they are seen as subhuman,  especially if they are being invaded or exploited (a form of invasion without overt military baggage) for natural and human resources.

  17. TGIA and Molly, that hurt.

  18. Who upgraded immigrants to sub-human status without permission??? LOL

    Of course you chumps believe anyone who lands on our shores is automatically entitled to a lifetime of free health care, housing, food and whatever else their little heart desires, otherwise we are just being selfish and heartless.  Yea, right.

  19. Ah, no Fleming, how about some water so that they don't die?  I actually think immigration should be curtailed, but that those already here should be given citizenship...and water!

  20. This is a good project for you fleming, if you want to see a slow in the immigrant population help by not supporting policies that hijack other countries.  If all of their riches are not stolen and their people condemned to menial existence to beter foreign corporations, they might have some hope in their countries.
