Yup. If Kasich’ “economic dynamo” was really improving the lives of its citizens, Ohio would have so many people coming in from other states that the State of Ohio’s gov’t could hardly keep up with them.
Great comment!!!
LEGAL immigration of people who are DESIRABLE to this country is fine when based upon accurate assessments of our economic and demographic needs.
Illegal and/or undesirable immigrants are not welcome and must not be permitted.
Problem is that the leftists (and CINOs) love illegals and love undesirables.
Turn Ohio solidly red and it will take care of itself....
What incentive is there to live in Ohio?
“We?” Who, you and Mrs. Kasich?
Why don’t you put it to a vote of the people, you tool.
I think most people support controlled, legal immigration where immigrants are properly vetted and follow a managed process.
What we don’t support is illegal immigration and lawlessness.
When they did the roll call of states last night, I found it interesting that North Dakota proclaimed itself as the only state in the nation that got younger.
Fracking makes you young !
I thought Kasich was really a stand up guy. Now I see him as a memeber of the McCain, ryan, graham backstabber contingent.
If the Good Lord wanted people to go to Ohio, he wouldn’t have made it such an insufferable shithole.
That is all. :-)
I understand letting rattlesnakes into your house can be "unhealthy" too.
That's not much different than letting more Muslims into this country. They don't assimilate into our culture. They demand we assimilate into theirs - and if we ultimately don't, their destination for us is slavery, dhimmitude or the sword.
I would think Kasich would not want to wish those awful choices on the people of Ohio and America, but I guess I was wrong. He's a wonk without a brain. I'm glad he didn't show up to stink up the Convention.
From the end of the Revolution to 1840 and the Potato Famine Irish there was virtually no immigration. At the end of the 1840's there was a stream of people from Germany due to the 1848 rebellion.
And then nothing until 1880, when the deaths of 700,000 men in the War Between the States led to a deficit that the economy needed to make up for. That "Great Wave" of immigration - so named because it was so unusual - ended with the 1924 Immigration Act.
And from 1924 to 1965, immigration was very small in relative terms. Perhaps you're not old enough to remember: an immigrant was quite an unusual person to meet, unless you were in New York. Even Los Angeles was still mostly descended from the midwest.
There had been about 2 million Mexicans in the country illegally from about 1910 - 1932 due to the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1921. At the onset of the Depression, Hoover deported a large number, and the rest left on their own. The Mexican population of Los Angeles was less then 5% after that. This is the California I recall.
So the growth you speak of is virtually all from 1965.
If abortion had not been legalized and glorified in 1973, do you really think the economy would have "needed" immigrants? If American families still had large families, would people be saying "we need these people"?
No. In 1969, Paul Ehrlich started his Overpopulation nonsense, and was successful in scaring the crap out of people in the U.S. so they started having "replacement" families.
What sort of madness is it to limit your own numbers and then listening to madmen insisting you need foreigners to make up the difference?
So don't tell me immigration has always been part of this country. That's true of EVERY country on Planet Earth. The question is, how much.
The 60 million who came here - invited and uninvited - since 1965 is far, far beyond anything ever experienced by the U.S. or any other country on the planet for that matter.
And the question is...why? Was it good for us, or them? Did they earn the right to be in the most powerful and successful country in human history or did they just happen to be next door?
It's not the America I grew up in, it's a place far worse. So you can guess my answer to the first question.
