In summer of 1996 I got a knock on my door. When I answered it there was this 5'0'' 20 something year Hispanic woman who was going door to door looking for work. She spoke no English, but since I speak fluent Spanish I hired her to clean my house every two weeks. For the next two years she would ride the bus 1.5 hour every other Sat morning, after working a factory job all week. to clean my house, and I would then give her the 20 min car ride back to her house.
I learned that she had come to the US with her husband and four small children but shortly after they got here her husband abandoned her and the kids. So here she was, alone, no car, no money, unable to speak the language...all she had was the will to survive and make a better life for her kids
She took on numerous other housekeeping jobs in my neighborhood, and fast forward ...eventually bought a car, a house, became a US citizen, put two kids through college, has a 3rd one in college now. 19 years later Im now her only housekeeping client but she still works a full time job
The point of this anecdote is that while there undoubtedly bad apples looking to take advantage or abuse the system in the group of "illegal immigrants" as with any group it's my experience is that the vast majority come here highly motivated and with the best intentions.
I for one wish there was some way to "exchange" one hard word working honest illegal alien for one non productive societal leech, here "legally" based on merit. I don't know how it would work... but I wish Trump would come up with that plan rather than keep them all out. I have no housekeeping skills and I personally like paying $1.29 for a head of lettuce
Cool story Papaya,
but what became of her former husband and the inevitable wreckage and leeching on the system he caused/is causing?
Did she pay back taxes and make legal amends for all those years of the records and grid?
If she put three kids in college, I wonder how that affects natives on class enrollment, college choice and price inflation in the larger scale.
See, even if she was an industrious and genuinely noble person, illegally emigrating still hurts the natives of hosts countries no matter how it's drawn up.
Her husband was an awful person who threw his responsibilities on the backs of the taxpayers and the robustness of the economy's opportunities. This act repeated en masse takes much opportunity and wealth from the legal inhabitants.
The husband came back around a few years later trying to worm his way back in and she told him to fuck off. He now has a landscaping business and the one kid that didnt go to college works with / for him.
She like most of the ones I know PAID taxes from day one. I know because her tax guy called me and asked me for a 1099. I remember it like it was yesterday. She was never ever on public assistance. Over the course of 19 years she's borrowed $200 and $600 from me on two separate occasions because of emergencies but promptly paid me back .
Look I'm not saying there aren't problems. It's a very complex issue. All I'm saying is that to paint the issue with ANY broad brush is counter productive and naive.
It's easy to rile emotions and get people fired up with "Stop all illegal immigration, build a wall,...fuck yeah" speeches but the truth is Trump and everyone else with real understanding of the underlying issues know that it's not that simple.

Yes, the cost is much higher. Yes, they're under a time crunch. My numbers may be off, but if these people in Hungary want a permanent solution to the problem they had better get to work on it, because those chain link fences can be rendered useless with a pair of bolt cutters. The current solution will slow down the invaders, but this problem isn't going away anytime soon.(09-15-2015 09:15 PM)porscheguy Wrote:(09-15-2015 06:33 PM)Roosh Wrote: Are there details on how it was constructed?Judging from the pictures and having had a few years experience building walls, I can tell you how it was built: poorly. A few people with bolt cutters can breach that "wall" in a matter of minutes. They could have that stretch of wall built out of 3500PSI concrete in a few days with modern methods.
Hungary's neighbor Austria is the home of Doka Formwork. Doka has factories in Austria and Hungary. The length of wall shown in that picture is about 300'. With a crew of 100 guys, proper logistical support, solid leadership, Doka Frami Double sided wall system, and a willingness to work 12 hour days, you could probably pour that stretch of wall starting on Monday morning, and finish up Wednesday evening with a wall 12"-14" thick and 18' high. You could have a wood crew follow hot on their heels to build watch towers every hundred yards.
As I recall the fence they built is 175km long and had to be done in weeks.
Three days for 300 feet of wall...
Seriously, other than chuckling at your comparison, I'm finding your numbers rather inaccurate. 100 guys on a three hundred foot wall for three days? They could build that out of hand cut stone...
btw-I run railroad construction projects, including concrete bridges, so I have an idea of manpower needs.

Not sure what they will do for the final barrier here.Not to be a turd grammar nazi, but a lot of people confuse and/or interchange concrete and cement. Cement is the binding agent in concrete, but there's more to concrete than cement. And if you really want some pissing rights, always point out that concrete doesn't dry, it hardens/cures.

To get there, the migrants have had to pass through the whole length of Serbia as well as through Macedonia. They seem healthy, often clean-shaven, etc. Who is feeding them? Where are they sleeping? No media organisation seems to have bothered to send someone to Serbia to find out.

Why is a period of constant growth necessary? To keep the government as large as possible and endlessly expanding? To feed the shallow consumerist culture?
I actually see a lot of benefit to downscaling things. A smaller government, cheaper housing, and one less fucking 7-11 or McDonald's on every corner would be a godsend. It's also something I think would eventually correct itself because people are social animals who would likely gather together and develop more meaningful relationships. Those inclined to breed more than average would do so and things would get back to the same level in a few generations.

A few facts about India:

* One-sixth of the world's population lives here;
* Its population surpassed one billion in 1998;
* It is projected to surpass China as the world's most populated country by 2025;
* More than 50% of its population is under 25 (65% below 35)
* Immigration to the UK is mostly from India
What's your point? There is no "Indian problem" in the UK.
Our problems started when the Pakistanis took over the mass immigration game. Many of these people are welfare leeches and cause tons of (highly predictable) problems by aggressively attempting to enforce their religion on everyone.
I'd take the hard-working and often highly educated Indian immigrants over Pakistanis, Somalians and Arabs. Every time.
Historically, Britain has taken the cream of the crop when it comes to Indian immigrants. The vast majority integrate into society, are ambitious, extremely entrepreneurial and so on. Sure, no nationality is perfect, but Indians are mostly model immigrants. And I'm sure they are just as pissed off as we are about what is happening. Not least because they get the blame for what Pakistanis are doing.
Europeans aren't against all immigrants. We are against the creeping islamification of our continent. That is what concerns us.
We need to stop all islamic immigration NOW with very few exceptions.
Quote:The refugees who plan to go to Edirne (border town to Greece) and then pass to Greece are waiting in Istanbul Grand Bus Terminal.
The refugees who have come to the Grand Istanbul Bus Terminal keep waiting, saying that bus firms won’t sell them tickets.
A Syrian refugee named Muhammed Hamid says that he came to Istanbul 3 years ago and it was very difficult financially. He says business life is hard in Istanbul, sometimes he can’t get paid, sometimes he gets paid 50 liras but that’s just enough Money for 2 meals. Not only him but also his whole family needs to work, he says, ‘’In Syria women don’t need to work. Here, everybody works, even children’’.
ALL ARABS ARE HERE
Muhammed says he tried to cross the sea to Europe twice and almost died each time. He then went to Edirne (border town) twice but got turned down.
He says the ‘’refugees’’ are not only Syrian but there are all kinds of Arabs, including Palastinians and Iraqians. ‘’Not everybody can live in Turkey. Most families don’t have enough money for the trip. There are 4 thousand people here today and it will be 10 thousand by tomorrow. We just want to go to Edirne. We are stuck here. We want to get out and go on with our lives. In İstanbul rents are 1000 liras (300 Euros) which is equal to my whole salary.’’

Quote:I know a number of people who have masters, or even TWO masters degrees, and haven't work a day in their lives. One of them told me they went to university because their big ambition in life was never to do any hard work - this includes cleaning after yourself or doing the laundry. They imagined their super special snowflake status would ensure they wouldn't have to tard
Of course, then they learn people who have never worked and have multiple degrees are literally unemployable. Employers look at perpetual students as jokes, because they never had any real responsibilities yet in life.
These are the same people who now want to welcome migrants into their homes. They have no idea what real life is like, especially compared to what their ancestors had to go through. I guess they imagine the nice refugees will clean their toilets for them, so they can go back to fashion blogging or ecological preservation or whatever.
