Global power wise, we were never stronger than at the end of WW2.

Who gives a rats ass? Its like global warming, me and mine will be long dead by then. Hell, my family is living in the golden age of Rome. w00t!

Not unless a person feels like shaking their fist at a cloud. I do agree with the first descriptor though.

Its helpful to think further than "Trump is a dodo" : Here's What a Trump Tweet Does to a Company's Share Price.

You're not really a drinker, right Azdeus?

Friggin avocado's are $1.38 EACH here! Its highway robbery I tells you. Get them back to work asap! And give them a SSN.

I was wondering that too. Why not teach all captive gorillas how to sign? Or even better, have one thats already trained, train other ones! Or maybe Koko was just a genius for her species?

Very cool! Aside, I wonder why the Steam age checker goes back to 1900!

Einstein Was Right! Scientists Confirm General Relativity Works With Distant Galaxy.

RIP Koko.

Obtaining Asylum in the United States. Huh, you're right. I wonder why 100% of illegal immigrants don't pull this? Its the perfect scam to gum up the process and buy yourself time while your case work its way through the system.

Im going to try to KISS this, and I definitely WILL NOT incorporate any song lyrics from 1982, that just capsizes the entire ship. Everyone realizes that these particular immigrants, and their children, are illegal immigrants? These are not the immigrants that are entering via the immigration ports and are doing things the right way, these are the immigrants that are caught sneaking across the border. Imo suddenly claiming ignorance of 200+ years old laws, or screaming "ASYLYM" when the border patrol rolls up, doesn't count.

That was basically my point, that there is in fact an imprisonment associated with the offence. But you are correct, its doesn't say they must be incarcerated. I wonder, how do you fine a penniless immigrant?

8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien.

Yep, the world was and is an intolerant place. The link was an illustration of the existence of immigration laws going all the way back to close to the formation of our Constitution. I don't think anyone has to be an expert on the matter to understand that there aren't any countries in the world where you just walk in and set up shop. Really? Did really nobody understand that Sally is a minor child sitting in a car seat? I guess I have to spell it out: Sally is an example of a fictional minor child who is in no way responsible for the actions of her parents. Her parents broke the law and will be going to jail. What will happen to Sally since her parents wont be around? (Protip: Im really asking why would Sally go to foster care but Salida should be left to roam the street while her parents are incarcerated for illegal immigration?)

Yep, its truly a moving tale. Are you aware that US immigration laws have existed since 1790?

Yep, the world is a rough place. But you cant honestly believe they thought they were going to waltz in and are now all shocked and dismayed to learn the contrary.

Well, imo, nobody in the world can roll up on another countries borders and claim ignorance or surprise at not being admitted without proper procedures. And "ignorantia juris non excusat", at least here in the US.

Agreed, the children become collateral damage. But why is that an "acceptable part of society" while the illegal immigrant situation is not?

So how does everyone feel about children that are put into foster case due to their (citizen) parents being incarcerated?

Im not following. In both examples the minor child is just a hapless pawn going along with their parents. Good thing people aren't losing the capacity for rational thought: "Do you hear babies crying". "Rip Barron from her arms".

Are you cherry picking which laws to enforce the same way you cherry pick which discrimination is important?

The wiki definition of "asylum seeker" seems pretty loosey goosey. Wouldn't 100% of illegal immigrants claim that status?

I don't know how they could be. The same thing happens in our criminal justice system even for citizens. Both parents get jailed for a crime, with nobody else to take the kids(s)? Into the foster system with them.
