The only thing I would slam you for tazzy is your problem with maths, and your following assumptions that you have proved anybody or anything wrong.
Repeat after me - rate is not to be confused with any absolute number.
No, I don't think your generalized race fears are notably worse than most people. But why else would you worry about Koreans dropping kids in the USA? Tribalism is not entirely bad - certainly I put my family before others. But I also expect them to deal with others, because I see little choice, and choose to believe that they should learn fairness.
Given that there are tours for all sorts of things, I could certainly imagine birth tours. But I wouldn't advise it, because I think it's a conspiracy to an illegal entry, and frankly, I think we have many more serious problems.
Yes, health care is one. But I put 1st responsibility for that on the people who run the show, not those just along for the ride.
And we have discussed how people come to work for entrepreneurs who are only trying to keep your prices down, even if the costs may come around somewhere else - so I suggest everybody who participates in the economy is complicit.
No, I don't think we should change the 14th amendment, because I don't think the constitution should be lightly changed, and I prefer to lock a person up for violating the law, over rearranging the result of our civil war. Because I don't think we should lightly fool with the foundation of our country. Too many bad things can happen.
I'm not afraid of foreigners - because I'm confident of our ability to deal with them. We all started out as foreigners, including whatever native ancestors you had, and whether we work with them or against them, it's probably better to have them in the open.
I would be happy to trade the Mexicans a million of their randomly selected citizens for a million of our convicts - but of course they are not that stupid. Perhaps you know of the Marielitos, when Castro did exactly that to us, and emptied his prisons in response to our offer of refuge. But again, my estimate of a person's value has almost nothing to do with their place of birth or parentage - and a lot of that is because that was my observation in the Marines, and I became very protective of people who were loyal to me, I don't give a good goddamn where they came from, only cared that they could be relied on.
