I’m willing to give it a try.
By parents who are not citizens, I do hope you do not mean Green Card holding legal residents? As they are protected by law.
Adam Smith correctly defined emigration/immigration as a economic transaction whereby an individual leaves his nation for another nation; exchanging his labor which adds value in return for security. Sentiment has absolutely nothing to do it. Mexican labor adds absolutely no value in our hi-tech economy. In fact Mexico has two exports; street drugs and illiterate peasantry.
Nope, it would leave us far richer and far happier.
The green card holding residents are to maintain 125% above the poverty line to be here to begin with.
They are not supposed to get green cards and drop themselves on the taxpayer as dependents.
I was thinking about illegals, but since that was brought up, yeah that rule that allows residents to go on the Dole should be blocked and the users should be never allowed to become citizens.
Yes, if here for years I can see the temporary unemployment benefits for months, but that is about it.
If the family goes on EBT, WIC, welfare and such then pull the Dole from their reach IMO.
I can deal with a tougher economy if I get to keep my country.
Thanks, I was just making sure.
I call bull malarkey on the “poorer” thing. The costs of social, education, multi-language and financial support for illegals is many, many times the cost of deportation.
The analysis is flawed because it presumes every single one of the immigrants will be fully processed through the system. Once the immigrants here illegally come to understand that they all ultimately be will arrested and will be deported, a significant number will choose to leave voluntarily.
How do you create that understanding?
Criminal sanctions against Americans who employ them.
Cut off of entitlements and benefits
Stop “catch and release” at the border
Yes, some cost still but not nearly as much as projected.
BTW, invest some money on the legal immigration pathway, so we can apply some quality control to the people we are letting in.
The hidden social costs--many not ever measured or measurable in monetary terms--are totally ignored in these calculations.
What is behind this idiocy are two prongs of an attack that is going to destroy American sovereign independence, unless arrested. One is the attack on the very concept of a nation, or ethnic identity; which largely results from the politically correct attack on American exceptionalism--of the unique character of unique peoples. The other is the perceived--but misunderstood--illusion of self interest by the captains of American business & finance.
We need to confront this attack with determination; with a will to save what is inherently ours. In that quest, consider:
Trump: Metaphor For American Conservatism.
In that quest, please drop the war on the personal lives of the candidates. That will only destroy the ability to work together among Conservative Americans. It is at best a dangerous distraction from the public issues.
I’d rather be “poorer” and have a rule of law. Multiculturalism is EXTREMELY overrated.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!
How stupid do gloBULList elite Free Traitors™ think we are?
We don’t have to spend a lot of money to rid ourselves of illegal immigrants.
First. Make it absolutely clear they will not receive ANY welfare benefit. No medical, no education, no housing, no food. Nothing.
Two. Make it so expensive and destructive to a business that the dare not hire illegal workers.
Three. Establish a fund to pay the expenses of an illegal immigrant moving back once they find out they can no longer get free stuff or a job.
