And what do they care? They’ll just switch party affiliation and keep their power. DC is nothing but a bunch of hack lawyers money grubbing and power hungry.
I agree. They don’t care.
The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 90 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.
The nations immigrant population (legal and illegal) reached 40 million in 2010, the highest number in our history. The U.S. immigrant population has doubled since 1990, nearly tripled since 1980, and quadrupled since 1970, when it stood at 9.7 million. Of the 40 million immigrants in the country in 2010, 13.9 million arrived in 2000 or later making it the highest decade of immigration in American history, even though there was a net loss of jobs during the decade. Growth in the immigrant population has primarily been driven by high levels of legal immigration. Roughly three-fourths of immigrants in the country are here legally. With nearly 12 million immigrants, Mexico was by far the top immigrant-sending country, accounting for 29 percent of all immigrants and 29 percent of growth in the immigrant population from 2000 to 2010. The median age of immigrants in 2010 was 41.4 compared to 35.9 for natives.
Norquist has been pushing many destructive policies while hiding behind his little no tax pledge. One of the most destructive operatives in the Republican party.
Once, this was true. And then the welfare state came along. Now we are being drained with no political will to stop it. Damn shame.
I have a novel idea for you Grover. How about the US government concern itself with actual US citizens for once rather than importing waves of uneducated slave laborers that do nothing but tax our already over extended welfare state and drive wages down for the rest of us.
I just cannot say what I want to say.

I know what you mean but it still means EVERYTHING to me and they will have to eliminate me to stop me. It may be ignored by the fascists but as long as I draw breath... I will defend it.
