Will you stop them if they need a place to stay and come to your house?\n\nI don't have a problem with people taking care of the immigrants,<br> as long as they don't force me and my family to do it. We are already trying to determine how to get by ourselves.\n\nPeople like to use a lot of magical thinking. Infrastructure needs to exist to handle the immigration. If it is not coming over in a controlled manner how do you deal with it?\n\nIt is magical thinking to say just because I am a voluntaryist that I believe we can flip a switch and make 100% voluntaryism work today.\n\nFor that to work requires a mind set,<br> critical thinking,<br> self responsibility,<br> self ownership,<br> etc. It requires a lot of ways of thinking that the vast amount of population does not have right now.\n\nThat too is my long term goal,<br> but it is unrealistic to imagine it will work right now with the majority of the population AND the immigrants not having these values that you have.\n\nIt is like a raft... that is how I describe it to my family... I WANT to help people,<br> but my raft will only hold so many people before it begins to sink.\n\nSo at what point to I get realistic and say \"I'm sorry,<br> but I cannot take more without sinking,<br> and everyone drowning?\" Yes that is an analogy,<br> but it is what people need to think.\n\nWanting things voluntary will not work magically unless people understand that. A big part of that is self-responsibility and that is exactly what the majority of people don't have.\n\nTL;DR - On an emotional and long term goal level - I get what you are saying - but in the environment today it is totally unrealistic and perhaps suicidal.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"immigration\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\" " |
