[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2950048, member: 24302"] Always putting things in the extreme to avoid the truth. Who said they were going to conquer the country? We should have a legitimate concern about those slipping in who might commit mass murder. Or do you think that's an ok price to pay to show how accepting we are? This reminds me of the discussion we had the other day about the carbon tax. You said that companies like UPS would be for it to keep competition out. We know for a fact that companies like FedEx and UPS would have to pay huge sums due to their "carbon footprint." But you toss out some hard to fathom argument that they'd actually be for it to keep out competition. Where are these companies looking to invest mega billions in hopes of taking away enough market share to make it worthwhile? The closest to that is Amazon looking to keep their own deliveries in house. But paying out huge sums in a carbon tax will affect a company's ability to give raises, invest in infrastructure, etc. But that's ok, it'll save the world and the big companies really want it anyways(wink wink).
