A lot of people point out rather smugly that toddlers kill more people in the US than terrorists do.
Yes, but there is absolutely no chance that toddlers will ever stage a hostile takeover of our nation were the state security apparatus to weaken. Intent matters.
In order to determine the effects of a particular policy, we do not need to implement the policy and then wait for a bloodbath. We can observe what happens when other countries adopt the policy, and use that as a guide.
The modern left rejects the idea that you can learn anything from the ancient past, and now it seems, they have extended that arrogance to declining lessons from the recent past as well.

The problem with Saudi Arabia is that they are playing both sides of the fence. They are helping us with intel and tracking down terrorists, while also helping terrorists. They are a fukd up asset, which is why they weren't identified by the previous administration/congress as being the 7 worst.

Poor argument, I know plenty of people who grow pot in their back yards and smoke it, legally.
But people jumping the border without proper process, illegal.
What makes them able to skip the line when my family has paid 20k+ and have waited 13 years for the rest of my family in Vietnam to come from over?

Except the results of gun control have been mixed. Mostly positive in Europe, and quite negative in the Americas. Additionally, looking at state-by-state regulations, again, we have mixed results.
So on the question of safety, it isn't clear cut with gun control. Additionally, there is the issue of preserving liberty, and when it comes to gun control, you have to weigh how much liberty you give up for security. We don't allow tanks, or automatic weapons, or bazookas to be sold to the general public, so that demonstrates that even conservatives don't believe in total liberty on this issue.
The same goes for immigration, except an immigration-restrictionist policy is not a violation of liberty for citizens of this nation.When all that says 'it is good' has been debunked, what says 'I want' remains.

This lol, if it's legalized and regulated by the state... then it's legal. Feds can't bust in your house in a legalized state and arrest you for possession charges ya dunce.
Edit:
"What’s legal?
In Colorado, it is legal for an adult aged 21 or over to:
possess up to one ounce of marijuana for recreational use
grow or cultivate up to 6 marijuana plants
give away marijuana to other adults aged 21 and over (without exchanging money)
cultivate, process, and sell industrial hemp (this is not the same as the cannabis you smoke to achieve a high)
But, there are several things the new legislation does not legalize. The following are still considered illegal:
smoking marijuana in public
selling marijuana
possessing, growing, or using marijuana if you are under the age of 21"Last edited by CorgiBrah; 02-17-2017 at 07:26 AM.

Welp, I wasn't sure if I should take your posts seriously, but after this one, I can now just put you on the ignore list with KingTrump.
The percentage of illegals committing the number of crimes are as follows, according to Fox News:
13.6 percent of those sentenced for all committed crimes in the country
12 percent of murder sentences
16 percent of trafficking sentencesAlmost 50 percent of federal crimes were committed near the Mexico border.Illegal immigrants accounted for nearly 75 percent of federal drug sentences in 2014Toxic Masculinity

he argues for "immigrants" but is completely clueless. Doesn't realize that there are apprx 4 million+ people on a waiting list to come in and these numbers grow annually. My family categorizes under "fourth preference", have been waiting for 13 years to come over. There is also delay for immigrants waiting to come into America because of USCIS preferring DACA or "Dreamers" over long-term applicants. So basically, we were almost green light @ 8 years and now it's been delayed to 13 years, on top of lawyer fees and application expenses. But people fight for people to live here for free off process and expenses.
So where's your argument KT you clown

lol at your stats. Fox gives no hard data and notes it used a "patchwork of stats" to develop their stupid theory. I could link to a bunch of sites stating that the illegal crime % is actually less than the general population, but what would be the point? The sheep are convinced and scared and there's no going back for you guys. Enjoy your imaginary world where illegal immigrants are this crushing burden to society.

The likes of you dont care about kids being murdered in their schools. Look how easily you jest about it. Their deaths mean nothing to people like you.
Its has not been right wingers committing those crimes. The vast majority of violent crime, most crime for that matter, come from people who are members of the 'left'.
Whether its gang violence or kiddie porn or school shootings, the perp is usually going to be a leftist. A dem.
And to top it off your kind are boring. You dont really get high, your lame in the sack and you cant rock n roll. You narc on people so easily...not even to stay out of jail but just for revenge over things that never really happened.
Ive known alot leftist. You cant be trusted and you dont pull your own weight.“I am continuing nonstop because I am happy at sea, and perhaps because I want to save my soul.” -Crowhurst.
