How do you feel about walls keeping out invaders now?
LMAO.
In a democracy it's very important whom you give the right to vote.
Wow. Just... wow.

If israel would merge together with palestine such that they'd become one democratic state, do you think it would turn out well?
If you are leaning on the left, would you be in favor of welcoming people who come from a national socialist country and happily give them the vote?
You do understand that someone who votes can potentially dictate laws and therefore dictate your personal life, right? They can outlaw sexual practices and orientations (as is the case in many middle eastern countries), can dictate wealth redistribution, limit freedom of expression (china banning movies that show interracial relationships, for example).
Do you want to give others the right to dictate your life without any limitations, to give it to people who because of their culture have completely different moral values?

FYI, democracy does not mean what you think it means.

How has this incident changed your view on walls, deportation and border patrols? You know that if it weren't for the admins and mods you'd be overrun with low effort nazi-memes and vile comments. Given how small this site is it wouldn't stand a chance against the 'invaders'.
Furthermore you're not going to pay taxes for the new guys coming here and their grandchildren, it's a voluntary deal. According to germans government 75% of refugees/migrants will need welfare for at least the next 5 years. Source
In the US, 73% of migrants from Mexico and central america use welfare whereas only 13% of asians use welfare. Source
On top of that people with a migrant background vote differently than native people. Whites are the only ethnicity in which a majority is in favor of smaller government. PewResearch. In a democracy it's very important whom you give the right to vote.
But don't let all these important differences stop you from being snarky and selfrighteous about the situation.
