Freedom of international movement is not a universally recognized human right. A country is perfectly within their rights to determine whether or not someone belongs in their country no matter how sad a backstory they may have. If the drug war really has been as hard on them as they claim, they could always apply for assylum or petition the UN to determine ths drug wars of central and South America to be a humanitarian crisis. Otherwise, I see no problem with deportations of people here outside of the legally established perameters as laid out by our immigration laws.

I never said I believed in human rights either
 
I’m against human rights
 
Also the UN, the totally not useless organization  
Yeah they will be damn effective
 
And again as I said I don’t care for laws

That you’re someone who’d just bitch about any of Trump’s actions whatsoever no matter how miniscule by the use of his [Cy] comparison of Joe Arpaio to ketchup. I’ve heard it enough from one of my Facebook-frequenting relatives.
 
Well, that’s not really true. I brought up pardoning Joe Arpaio specifically because it made Trump look bad regarding his wish to go against the DACA; it’s a bad move tactically.

The UN itself really can’t do much but a declaration of the drug wars as a humanitarian crisis makes asylum and refugee claims appear much more valid when presented to immigration and customs officials.

It is kind of ironic they demand people be let into countries such as the U.S. U.K. and Canada, don’t really seem to interested in demanding the same from places like North Korea, Mexico or Saudi Arabia.
 
If say, I went to Canada and started screwing around and then say I have the right to be there. They’d probably… Well They might actually give me $20,0000 if I do it right, so bad example.
 
If I go to Mexico, and screw around I’d probably land in prison.

Canada’s been accepting refugees for a while now to the point where Trudeau got a little bit of flak from the left for even suggesting that Canada couldn’t handle such a massive influx of people in such a short ammount of time. I think the UN realizes how dangerous Mexico is and won’t eve entertain the thought of sending people to a country that people would voluntarily pay dangerous bands of coyotes to smuggle them out of. As for the middle east: oil. That’s it. That’s always it. Don’t rock the boat too much with the Saudis and you get as much as you want.

Well, Arpaio is in his mid 80’s and retired from public service. A humanitarian pardon for someone who Trump agreed with on policy would be a perfectly legitimate explanation (you know, aside from the near unlimited pardon power itself). If the Lockerbie terrorist could get one, so can Arpaio.

It’s just we know they don’t actually care, and talk about refugees as a virtue signal. Like all the celebrities with several mansions with acres of empty space, yet never seem to want to give it to them; Only castigate people who’s had to deal with mass immigration for speaking out against it because they are in places that have gotten worse for it.

Most people want to be good people deep down, or at the very least they want to be recognized as good people. Most of these stars and politicians want to be seen as good people either for a sense of validation, support either at the box office or the voting booth or they just want to go down as someone who stood up for the right things. For the stars, its all about reputation. They campaign against climate change yet ride in private jets; advocate for refugees and yet most of their multiple private properties remain empty for most of the year; they champion women’s rights and then we find out they’re raging racists, sexists, jerks ect behind the scenes.  
Politicians, conversely, say whatever will make them look good in the polls and in the history books. Most think anout how kids will look at them 100 years from now either in school or when browsing wikipedia. Realism within politics is dead in all but, ironically enough, the most totalitarian/one party states like China and Russia. Everywhere else, it is everyone trying to appear the most accepting and tolerant of everykne and everything around them which has led to the rise of the current refugee crisis and the west’s newly reaquired hedonistic culture as well.

I think a lot of common people are sick of the celebreties. They went full ham trying to get Hilary elected and when they failed, they’ve completely lost it.
 
People like Sarah Silverman, Paten Oswald, Dan Harmon and so many more have just gone on tirades to shout people down and even go as far as advocate for violence. Politicians let mob justice run ramped in cities, neglecting their very citizens that elected them to keep shit like that from happening, yet, we should trust them.
 
The problem they refuse to realize why it happened and why they’re losing, so they lash out at those they should be trying to help. It really shows their double standard.

The west has, in the past decade or two, adopted a rather hedonistic view of life which has now seeped into our policy making. Adopting laws legalizing both certain drugs as well as prostitution in some nations. The obsession with everything sex related in culture recently. Sex has always been a part of culture and always will be but there has eben a definite uptick of sex’s place in society. Be it sex via apps like tinder, drugs, music, drinks, adrenaline, and so on society seems to now uphold constant aquisition of phisical or ethereal pleasure as the guiding light that one should follow down the path of life. That’s not to say that you g people have not always been this way. In the past, however, the means of instant gratification was outside of their resch or forbidden by laws. Now, however, such laws are slowly falling and the internet and social media has allowed for the pleasure to be a few finger swipes away. This has seeped into our culture and is now everywhere. Sex, always a part of the societal lexicon as a sort of forbidden tempation, is now openly celebrated in the most graphic of terms. Sillouetted and teases have given way to the gratuitous and graphic in terms of both display and society’s tolerance for what we allow to be shown to or heard by the public. Now such policy extends to policy via ‘feel good policy’ which basically means do what you feel is right and let the details sort themselves out. Legalize drugs? Sure! Ignore the studies on the long term damage it can have on brain development. Take in more refugees than your nation can handle without even vetting them? Yes! They’re poor and desperate. Forget your budgetary and safety concerns, don’t you want to be on the right side of history? On an international level, the US is a relatively conservative country so we may not feel it as well but it certainly is going on here as well.

Think of hippie culture allowed to go to it’s logical extreme without government or culture to counter it. Rather both are on the side of the hippies as they seek nothing but a constant and immediate stream of pleasure and instant gratification. Now imagine if trying to ride that stream became the guiding principles to which people alligned themselves. It’s not healthy for a society to exist like that.

Maybe I went a little far but society does have to impose limits on certain human behaviors in order to remain productive. Those very barriers are now being described as oppressive/problematic/unneccesary and are promptly being taken down in favor of trusting the individual to be wise in their own decision making about their own lives. Normally, I would be all for this but I see the unrestrained version of this principle seeping into modern western culture that is causing great ammounts of instability and unstable fluctuations in social order. The world is madder, everyone’s offended, everyone now feels entitled to do whatever the heck they want whenever they want. Maybe I am wrong about this and everything will turn out ok. Right now, though, I see an increasingly volatile society at war with itself and greed reasserting itself as the moral compass, this time with peasure as its pole rather than money as in days past.
