It’s actually worse -

Statistically immigrants use far more gov’t money than they contribute. Their children require more of the teachers time in school eating up education resources. They have more kids so it multiplies. They take away entry level jobs from American’s and our children. They use up healthcare resources and that hurts all Americans. They are also less likely to assimilate into our culture and share our values.

They are a net loss even before you consider terrorism. It’s not xenophobia. It’s simple statistics.

Obama is using the rope we paid for in order to build a noose for our necks.

He thinks he will be able to convince us to slip the noose around our own necks.

The only valid question is “What do these immigrants or refugees bring with them that this Republic or its Citizens need or want?”

This question should be answered before any immigrant or refugee is is admitted to this country.

We don’t need bodies: We don’t have a frontiers to populate and We don’t have industries crying out for semi-skilled or unskilled labor.

These bring no special skills with them nor do they bring capital with them to add to the wealth of their nation.

We have no need of these people and they represent a threat to public safety and a drain on the taxypayers. They should be told to look elsewhere.

Bring back the loyalty oath which was required during the height of the cold war after WWII. In which all immigrants were required to affirm they were not communists or nazis thus denied entry and or advocated overthrow of our government.

Statistically not all immigrants are the same. Refugees get the highest level of welfare. They get welfare in the transition country before coming here. Their trip here is paid for by us. They immediately get Sec 8, EBT/SNAP through special programs. They have a special line item budget in Medicaid just for refugees that bypasses states that oppose expanding Medicaid.

In contrast, the navigators/community organizers are tearing their hair out frustrated that those of Mexican ancestry who are eligible to take welfare are too proud to take it. Those of Mexican ancestry eligible for welfare programs have a lower rate of taking that welfare than White and Black citizens.

PS. CDC came out with a recent report comparing states and demographic groups on things like infant mortality. Those of Mexican ancestry who refuse to sign up for Obamacare or Medicaid have one of the lowest rates of infant mortality. Those on Obamacare subsidy and Medicaid have apparently have one of the highest rates of infant mortality.

Just wait til we have to double down to solve the problem. And force the Mexicans down to the level of the rest of us.

Called one Senator on Thursday about the “refugee” matter. My complaint was that we always seemed to find money to feed, clothe and house the dregs of humanity but we can’t find money to take care of our elderly, the veterans and the medically needy. When I asked where the money was coming from, the staffer admitted it was federal funding from some program.

I strongly suggested that these people be housed in the Senator’s neighborhood and keep them out of mine.

BTW, I don’t speak to the other; he’s an avowed Marxist.

The progressives / media / leftists are just waiting for 10 people to drop dead.

Then they plan to eat the rest of the M&Ms.

But I detect a flaw in their thinking.

Given the fact that Muslims who adhere to the "Pure Teachings" are instructed to deceive in order to advance their "Religion".... That is of zero use. That oath is of no value if not truly endorsed by the oathtaker!!!

I was almost hoping the bowl of M&M's represented the world, and all the brown ones had been removed.

NOT a Van Halen reference, heh...

Obama would not be able to force anything, if the American people would do what the Constitution prescribes. The Second Amendment was put into the BOR for a reason. It’s about time Americans put it to use. As long as we are willing to put up with tyranny, those who practice tyranny will continue to escalate. If we do not act, then, at some not too distant point, we will be unable to stop the Marxist revolution that is being waged against us ... We will then be just one more failed nation cast on the ash heap of human history.

That is good analogy, the the number of poison would probably be more like 100.

That noose is gun control and he has the less intelligent but privileged educated? / non-white scholarship / affirmative action crowd convinced he'll take care of them despite lying to them the last 7 years...
