Immigrants of all flavors vote Democrat or Independent in the high 70%s range.

I remember during the 1980's there were a LOT of complaints from Americans about the Vietnamese boat people using too much public assistance resources. Fortunately, that was only a very short-lived phenomenon, and today the Vietnamese-American community is fast-growing in economic and political influence.

Unfortunately, younger voters today are much like the Eloi in Wells’ “Time Machine” and are like, “That’s just the way it is.” Maybe when taxpaying idiots wake up and realize that we’re supporting third world parasites, things might change.

Oh Please! I was an eligibility worker at our county HHS Department and quit in 1983. It was the same then as it is now. They walked in we signed them up no questions asked.

We have a “native” welfare problem too from the charts; I personally believe all “welfare” should come from the heart through private charity, but if we must do it through coercion, then keeping it under 10% of the population should be a reasonable target.

The welfare will run out eventually. There are only so many pieces of pie.

IS MEXICO GETTING A PERCENTAGE FOR LETTING THIRD
WORLD PARASITES USE THEIR BORDER TO ENTER THE US?

Third World parasites slobbering at the US public trough need to be seen against this document. Read on.

===========================================

A sworn affidavit by Mexico’s consul general to a Texas court admits that Mexico’s official policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access the US’s generous welfare system......declaring that “Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.”

EXCERPTED FROM OFFICIAL MEXICO AFFIDAVIT TO TEXAS COURT this explosive document filed in Texas by the government of Mexico adds fuel to the debate touched off by Donald Trump.....

THE MONEY QUOTE A footnote states that “Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent.” IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain their parents’ Mexican nationality.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico’s consul general admits that Mexico’s official policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access the US’s generous welfare system......declaring that “Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing,”

The Mexican consul’s sworn testimony asserts that “My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals” and “The main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to nationals abroad.”

Ergo, Mexico’s assertion of continuing jurisdiction over its “nationals abroad,” is inconsistent with any claim to automatic US citizenship merely by reason of birth on US soil.

=====================================================

MEXICO IS SLOBBERING AT THE US PUBLIC TROUGH The "impoverished" Mexicans here send BILLIONS of US tax dollars collected under multiple identities BACK to Mexico. The federales are getting a huge cut of that.

Trump tells Americans oil-rich Mexcio is ripping us off royally......and pocketing billions from deal after deal. This is in addition to US foreign aid to "help" them w/ then the drug cartel problem.

======================================================

NOW GIMMEE THIS AGAIN Mexico's official policy is to send their impoverished classes over the border to ride the US gravy train...but declares that “Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.”

OK....comprende, amigo.

Now tally up the welfare bill and send it to Mexico.

I would like to see a breakdown of where all the legal and illegal immigrants are coming from. As far as legal immigrants we should only be letting in people who are good bets to make a positive contribution. It shouldn’t be too difficult to see what country is sending the best immigrants here. We certainly don’t need more leeches.

This is why we need a screening process in addition to border security. A wall with a giant hole in it is useless.

They are only doing what so many of our citizens do; taking advantage of our stupid laws.

I don’t want any more immigrants for a while, legal or otherwise. We’ve got way more than enough for now. But I’m never going to win that battle.

Thanks for posting the newspaper article, tragic as it is. What a mess we are in.

Cloward-Piven on steroids plus I noticed #1 said, "Don't marry her!" That all fits in with the socialist anti-Family, anti-religious (except Islam and atheism) agenda too. . 'It takes a Village'. .

What happened to the good ole' 'shotgun wedding'? Guess those days are gone. Don't get married. . No, wait. . .

The bottom line is if this doesn't change, we're done as a nation.

Wonder what Trump's position on Real Welfare Reform is? None of this #14 newspaper article stuff. . $75,000 a year in benefits and he's getting his mail at Mamas. No More!
