Let’s see.
First of all they’re loyal to other countries, not the US.
Second, they mostly don’t pay taxes, but consume services and get EITC, instead.
Third, they drive down wages and reduce opportunity for Citizens and legal residents.
Fourth, they commit crimes all out proportion to their percentage of population.
Back then, there was a frontier to populate, and industrial revolution in need of labor, both of which are notably absent from the nation today. We don’t need the labor and we don’t need the population.
I sure there were Romans who thought the exact same thing you do just before the Goths rolled over them.
I do not support giving them welfare and that must end. If they’re coming here for hand outs then they should be told NO and put to work instead.
There is plenty of room in America, the country is huge and can still develop further with more immigrants. The more the merrier I say. This has happened all throughout history... now you want to pull up the draw bridge? It does not make sense.
How about we cut the welfare out and/or refuse it to them and instead put them to work in a GOPe’s local factory? (if they’re still open after Obama’s anti-business policies)
