1. Most immigrants are not on welfare. They work. Mexican immigrants, Indian immigrants, Chinese immigrants, European immigrants all start new job creating businesses at a higher rate than natural born citizens.
2. Immigrants of Mexican ancestry who are eligible for welfare have a lower rate of collecting welfare than other natural born citizens. The navigators are tearing their hair out because those underserved groups are not taking advantage of the opportunities open to them. For example, Georgia uninsured percent is higher than the national average. Most of those uninsured do not need Medicaid Expansion. They already qualify for Medicaid without Expanson. and Most of them are of Hispanic ancestry. The pro-Obamacare types dont want to admit this they are pushing for Medicaid Expansion to reach those uninsured.
3. No immigrant, no legal immigrant, no illegal immigrant, no naturalized citizen should come here to collect welfare. They should be deported immediately upon applying for welfare.
4. Alleged Free Trade is false advertising. Reagan proposed real NAFTA Free Trade. Then congress, lobbyists, HW Bush, Clinton, Canadians, Mexicans, everyone loaded it up with regulations. The only Free Trade left was in the name.
5. Treasury Secrtary Rubin interfered in the Mexican monetary systm (for their own good). That had much bigger impact on our relations than NAFTA. Rubin sent all the maquiladora jobs to Asia. In turn the decline of jobs in Mexico resulted in that massive migration of Mexicans to the US. NAFTA impact was peanuts compared to Clintons Treasury Secrtary meddling in Mexican government.
Good stuff
