Do you believe that someone must use a nice tone to answer your immigration questions?
Answer:
Hey, Mendibabe,
Hi, thanks for writing . . . you're ever so correct. Immigration is a big debate and people will answer.
Your friend,
The Chief
Yes, it should be. This issue is very emotional on both sides, and sometimes people on both sides add fuel to the fire and we are off to the races
try to just keep in mind that it's people that have feelings to .
not a must,but people should answer or debate in a civilized,intelligent manner if they want to be heard
What people say to one another on a message board like this will only hurt when it strikes a nerve, which is usually something true that they do not want to believe nor hear.
That goes both ways on hateful remarks.
Not really but if they truly feel strongly about their opinion then WHY NOT YELL IT!
I think people should nicely ask the illegal aliens to go home and obey the law. If they don't then sic ICE on them to arrest and deport!
This is honestly how I see it. If someone asks, I have and use my social graqces, until they start acting like a jerk, then I use them even more and end up embarrassing them because they get all hot under the collar and start using profanity and such, while I use proper word usage and nuance
BUT
If someone says I "have to" or "Must", I rebel. Willful defiance is a strong part of my nature - don't tell me what to do and don't expect things of me, because the code of ethics I live by include integrity, and will forever be higher than any standard any other could ever set upon me. I just don't like people trying to control me :-)
Thanks for a good and fun question. Peace.
I believe if you dont answer nicely you will get reported by pro illegal workers at MyTend.com .:-). I havent really picked a side,I understand both sides of the debate,except I still havent gotten a grasp on breaking the law?Although Im sure it must be ok,cause lots of illegals are doing just that.
There are always two sides of a coin. YA gives us the opportunity to express our views BUT we must be responsible enough NOT to criticize the views of others. There will always be answers that are different from ours but that does not always make us right and them wrong. The world is not black or white, there are shades of grey too.
The way one expresses his or her opinion, whether it is based on experience, facts, or both, says a lot of that person's character. You get to know more about a person by the way they choose their words, the tone they speak, the way they posture their arguments and the facts they present to support it.
I sincerely hope that whatever position you take on this volatile subject of illegal immigration, we could exchange opinions in a civilized manner and not be too emotional because at the end of the day, it will still be a decision by those people who govern this land and not by the number of great answers or stars that we get on YA.**
I think people should be nice until someone is not nice to them. I don't know much about debate, but I don't think attacking someone personallly gets the point across.
No, not necessarily. I agree with you.
For the most part people will always answer with a rude,snide remark no matter what.I have seen people who seriously know about immigration get 10 thumbs downs despite their knowledge on the subject.There are probably 6 people who always answer courteously,but that's it.
Freedom of speech and all that.
But it isn't very constructive to throw insults if you are actually looking for a solution.
On the other hand, some of the sarcasm is pretty funny...
As a US citizen I have had the experiences of marrying a canadian citizen and visiting the poorest parts of mexico also. After seeing the conditions that the mexican people go through, I cannot in my heart blame them for wanting to run. The problem we are trying to solve here is not whether they should come over the border or not. It is all a matter of how. My husband has spent 6 years of his life and well over 5,000$ to come into this country legally. His residence interview and his citizenship interview have been pushed back from the normal wait times while the government tries to accomodate those who are here illegally. On top of that the fees have increased over 300% from before 9/11. That does not include the attorney's fees. On top of that My husband is a skilled laborer and could easily get a good construction job. But in the US he can't. Why? He is an immigrant (and an italian-looking one at that). Apparently, any person who is an immigrant is not worth what his skills and experience profess. He is an immigrant. Company's have over-looked him, passed him over, or blatantly offered him less money than his counter-parts. He is legal, but that does not matter. He is a hard worker with skills, but that does not matter. All they see is immigrant. Apparently Canada's labor force has no skill in the US Employers eyes. Can I blame the illegals for that? YES! Why hire a legal when there are illegals just across the train tracks who will do it for half the cost? But on the other hand 'half cost' to an illegal is sometimes big bucks in comparisan to where they came from. This debate has lobbyists in the fray for monetary gains only. Don't be fooled. At the same time, what does the legal process do for weeding out the good from the bad immigrants. If I am not mistaken, the terrorists were "legal". What is congress's answer to that? Higher fees and longer wait times? Give me a break. So how do we fix something that is not working on either side? Scrap it and start over. Illegals would be more inclined to cross over to the legal side if the fees were not so high, the wait times for being able to work and make a living were not so long. Illegals would be more inclined to cross over to the legal side if there were not any profit savy companies around to employ, abuse, and under-pay them. It is these companies that keep them coming. Punish them for starters. Force them to retro-pay for all the cheap labor they employ or employed. Use that retro-pay to fund tightening the border and building a system that keeps track of everyone who comes across our borders, whether by plane, train, boat, car, horseback, or foot. Document everyone without recourse. Then sort out the bad from good apples. You commit a crime, you get sent back to whatever spit of land you came from whether the crime is small or large. The legal immigrants have decent jobs. The higher wages give our economy a boost. Companies who make practice of abusing and under-paying illegals will be punished severly and should be put out of business. Those who want to enter the USA will have no choice but to get documented to get a job. Where there is no water, there is no fish. And Immigrants should not have to fear the government deporting them for any reason, but they should fear and respect the law.
If they use a coherent, respectful way of asking, I would be more prone to listening and taking them seriously.
On the other hand, if they start insulting, I'd think that they don't have any substance to back up their arguments.
Well since it's the Internet you really can't tell exactly how the person is 'expressing' their views. I think it's important to be straightforward when it comes to immigration, it's important to respect others opinions as well as remain civil.. If you can't talk with respect or maturity no one will take you seriously. However, even though most of us remain civil, respectful, and honest, our answers are deleted time and time again because most individuals on this website can't handle the truth or respect another persons opinion --- much less facts from official websites. They have their mind set and no one will change it.
Definitly. Politeness shows we are civilized people. The only reason people put questions out there is because they need useful answers or at least constructive debates. Name-calling and rudeness are not in the least constructive.
