You don't truly need proof, more so than you need a general knowledge of economics and common sense.

Here you are sir, one oar, and free with purchase, today only, here is your complimentary harpoon and flare gun. Thank you for shopping.

How do a general knowledge of economics and common sense show that illegal immigrants are getting lower mortgage rates because they are illegals?

You should really stop talking if you don't know what the hell you're talking about. It is common knowledge. I'm not about to sit here and teach an economics lesson, because you are too thick skulled to listen.

The American economy is built on the works of illegal immigrants. Always has been. Thats why even the right wing won't make a move against them.

A few million marched in parades around the nation a while back - not one was arrested.

Sure, the government goes and arrested 30 here 40 there to look like they are doing something, but they all know if they sent them all back, every crop in America would go away with them.

As I said, mortgage lenders love to give them mortgages. Not the ones your thinking of, the seedier lenders - the ones who gave out all those dogy loans which are causing issues now. They get their money back one way or another either through the immigrants which they over-charge and hit with so many surcharges they end up paying more than any American every would, or the bail out they get from the US government once the illegal defaults on the mortgage (and they then re-sell the house at a higher market value pocketing the money they took from the illegals).

I'm in a political activist club composed mostly of pre-law and business majors.
Explain to me how come our knowledge of economics and our common sense differ almost entirely with you.

The question still stands however... Why are people who do not take the right steps to enter the country, allowed to circumvent the system in place that the rest of the citizens have to go though?

It's a question of what is right for the taxpayers, not for the palms of the government.

I agree with you so long as we are talking about the legal system.
But why would I agree with a legal system I don't support? The sole fact that there's such a thing as an arbitrarily assigned 'border' is nothing but nationalism in all its 21st century glory.
There's no such things as boundaries in the world, and believing there should be amounts to nothing productive.

You accurately describe the direction the educated world is headed towards Jillian, but even among Mexicans there is a desire for borders and stratification.

You don't have to take my word for it: Pretend to mistake a Guadalaharan for a Chihuahuan, or vice versa, and see how angry they get, they may even pull out a gun in reaction as they regard being wrongly confused for a resident of a mere geographical location as an insult. Try insulting a Guadalaharan. Most Mexicans willingly adhere to geographical separations.

My point is most people WANT borders. Most people WANT nationalism.

And that doesn't make it justifiable. Mexico also has border issues. People come illegally from Guatemala and Belize to the southern peninsula, and they are imprisoned if they are caught. I also disagree with Mexico's policies; I also try to raise consciousness of people that sympathize with illegal immigrants for purely ethnocentric reasons.
I know I'm mostly traveling against the current in all aspects of my life, but that does not make me wrong, and I can justify my stance any day, which is all I ask from people that antagonize my opinions.

Well... borders are figurative.. but when it comes down to it, it's the same as if a homeless person was to just climb in your back window and start eating out of your fridge.

Hang in there. Your direction is the one that will benefit mankind in the long run. You will find more and more who agree with your direction. Eventually economics will drive it to the logical conclusion: a world based economy, with a world based monetary unit and world based taxes.

Then the human race will begin to accomplish some MAJOR things! Once unified we will be unstoppable.

I'd change some things in your conclusion:
A world wide community, with a community based economic system.

You all have entirely too much faith in humanity.

Yeah... I doubt there would ever be such a perfection or likemindedness achieved. It doesn't seem to work anywhere in the world... there is simply too much diversity, and ways of doing things.

In a sense, it's what the Islamic extremists are trying to do... trying to convert everyone in the world to Islam, by any means necessary.

One day, I'm sure we will just have to choose what flag to fly and be at that... but our society is too much based on patriotism to let someone else's culture tell us what to do...
