I see Larry Kudlow hasn’t made the list. I’ve generally liked him despite his high RINOism, but he has really gone off the rails of late with his pro-amnesty rants.
He absolutely doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He claims that illegals don’t get welfare, when the census bureau’s stats show that a majority get food stamps and Medicaid. He says further that they they don’t use or want welfare once they’re legal, either, because they’re here to work instead. Yet, because they overwhelmingly working in low-skilled jobs they are subsidized with everything from EITC to housing, food, and medical subsidies that legal Americans fund. He goes along with their being just like all other previous immigrants, whereas they clearly don’t follow the trajectory that all immigrants do, and they instead are largely dysfunctional by American family, education, and income standards at least three generations in. Thus, he completely misses the boat with his focus on the ‘growth’ that is inevitable with 20 million more people here (and 40 million relatives to follow), without noting that the dominant Latin American population in those figures continues to be majority welfare-funded at least three generations in—and therefore they are a net drag on the American economy. Finally, he completely misses the technological transformation that is eliminating low-skill jobs in this country at a record pace. The last thing our economy needs is 50 to 60 million more low-skill workers.
Sorry, I really got off on a tangential rant here.
1/7th of the prison population are illegals - they never explain that I bet
I don’t blame you. I listened to Kudlow Sat. night and noticed the same thing. Usually I’m watching a movie or out dancing or something, but once in awhile I catch him.
For one thing, who’s going to check to see if they’ve all learned English as promised? Of course the ones from places like Nigeria may already speak better English than some of us do, but I digress.
There are no easy answers. That’s what I believe. I have to admit that it bothers me that the illegals who have served in the US military dont get an exception.
Don’t forget Kudlow was also pretty hard on Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, etc a few months back.
