I like this guy more and more every day.
All they have to do for that government largess is vote Democrat. A lesson the legalized $8/hr legalized immigrants will quickly learn. Then who will do the work?
Once they are “normalized”, they aren’t going to work for $8 bucks an hour anymore. Once they are on the freeway to “citizenship”, the next stop is the union thug’s office.
Eliminate welfare!!
Make your own way in this world or lie down and die!
Living in America today is all about trying to mitigate the damage that the government is doing to it and its productive citizens on a daily basis.
This sounds great except his admitted he is for giving legalized illegals the vote.
He sure didn’t say this in front of that Hispanic group where he said he never met an immigrant who wanted a handout, and illegals are natural conservatives.
Come on Rand, I don’t care if you lie to them but not to us.
The title says it all. No need to read the whole thing! Lol!
I stand w Rand. Nail on rhe head again.
***Americans won’t work for the $8 per hour***
EIGHT DOLLARS AN HOUR! I remember working picking beans in the hot hot summer for one cent a pound! On a good day after a rain I could make $5.00 a day! When the weather was dry we got about $2.80 a day even though we picked the same amount of beans.
But then, there was NO WELFARE back then.
Until he drops the other shoe regarding granting amnesty to illegal aliens to do the job.
Rand is wrong on a “secure” border.
The US/Mexico Border is 2,000 miles long with few intersecting roads and mostly desert.
Make the USA as hostile as possible by enforcing existing Border Laws, and fining US employers $1,000 per day per illegal alien hired.
The Arpaio Desert Prison Model would be perfect to hold all captured border law breakers for the Federally required 6 months.
BTW, Sheriff Joe Arpaio claims that he feeds his prisoners for 22 cents a day.
I know people that use their Disability money to supplement their $10/hr, full time cash job.
Something like less than 5% of illegal aliens work in ag jobs. We went through this when McLame claimed he had lettuce picking jobs that no one would take.
So make work a requirement for welfare benefits. (of course that would require TEApublican majorities in both houses and a Chief Executive.
They are going to be paying payroll tax. At the end of the year, any witholds as to income tax are going to be given back, and I believe they would qualify for Earned Income Credit and other credits. Social Security they may pay, but in the end, they won’t be paying income tax.
well hell,why not just give the welfare payments to the illegal aliens instead?Oh!i forgot,they’re getting them already.
All this talk about schemes where illegal entrants would not become citizens, but as long as their anchor baby children become citizens then the kid and parents are eligible for “entitlements” and the whole family will be just as anchored here as in the past.
There in lies the age old problemo...the borders ARE NOT going to be secured (JNap says they already are!) and WELFARE WON'T STOP (NO politician, on either side, will propose that...it's raciss, etc.).
So, NO THANKS, Rand! Just enforce EXISTING immigration laws and THEY'LL SELF DEPORT. Amnesty for 11 - 30 million will be the final nail.
“You can’t have open borders and be a welfare state”
The solution then is not to have a welfare state and the border problem goes away.
Paul is seriously amiss if he believes giving people more documentation will open fewer doors for them to access benefits.
