I am not defending our immigration policies. 57% of immigrant headed households with children are on at least one welfare program. 25% of the adult legal immigrants who enter this country annually lack even a high school diploma. We bring in 1.2 million legal immigrants a year, far more than we need. Our immigration policies are destroying this nation.
Just yesterday, Michigan governor Rick Snyder virtually signaled encouragement for resident aliens to vote. That’s a lot of foreign students and H1B visa holders.

What I am trying to point out to you is when you have the rich leaving America with their wealth and the poor from third world countries coming in and adding to our debt via our various entitlement programs it financially is insane.
As America continues to rush toward third world status you can see the signs of it by the increasing amount of tyranny by the Feds and States, a national debt spiraling out of control, taxes going sky high (especially after the first of this upcoming year), a debasement of the currency like Zimbabwe and the ancient Roman Empire, refusal to enforce our border laws, more regulatory burdens on business, ever-increasing entitlement spending, etc., etc., etc.
It is insanity at its finest. I think of America as a boat where there are a very small few who are drilling holes into the hull and letting water in. At one point in our history we dealt with them and stopped it for the most part. Now everyone is too scared to deal with the next generation that doing it. Those that have the means are jumping off and swimming over to other boats. And the ones doing the drilling are bringing in others who will do the same. At some point the bilge pumps won’t be able to keep up and the boat will sink. From what I see the bilge pumps lost that ability back between 1970 and 1980 and we are taking on water at an ever faster rate.
