I have heard from people, that this is a reason why both Republicans and Democrats have not dealt with illegal aliens.
The reason is, illegals are here working, paying taxes, etc. and politicos of both parties see them as being there to pay baby boomers Social Security/Medicare, etc.
This is just talk I’ve heard from people, but it explains a lot. Illegal aliens are working, many in legitimate jobs, are paying taxes.
Where this argument loses me, however, is the fact that we have tens of millions of unemployed/underemployed. Which begs the question of why so many people on public assistance have chosen spend years or a lifetime not doing any productive work of any kind.
The politicians in office now are indeed inept enough to not only import a slave class to pay for our retirement, but to also not ask us what we think about it. If they are doing this, it would be a very stupid idea. to begin with, it assures a permanent blue country which guarantees economic failure all around. The Republican Party will be gone
But amnesty and open borders has, in my opinion, much more to do with a selfish, short sighted, power and money greedy motivation
If asked whether I’d rather work and put money away for retirement or accommodate a lot of pushy people who not only will not appreciate and respect our culture and language not to mention our borders, but who bully me into speaking their language, all aided and abetted by commerce. I’ll take self reliance.
Press one for English, favoritism in scholarship funding, cheap labor, that comes from politicians planning our retirement?
I don’t know
