Its inhumane to force people to support squatters when they’re already limited in resources.

They contribute the way Kasich, Bush and the GOPe intend...by lowering wages.

“If anyone attacks Kasich or Jeb or any of the rest of the pro-amnesty crowd, the drive-by MSM ALWAYS tries to make it look like conservatives are against immigrants rather that ILLEGAL immigrants.”

There are a million plus LEGAL immigrants allowed into the country per year. That is enough to destroy the country alone, and very quickly. I will never understand why LEGAL immigration has morphed into such an untouchable sacred cow among conservatives. George Orwell explained the two minute daily irrational hate session in the novel 1984. Legal immigration has become its de facto positive expression with the same extreme irrationality. Conservatives SHOULD be against more legal immigration. All those millions are either taking someone’s job or taxpayer money, and they vote mostly for liberal democrats. There is no other outcome.

“He’s just eliminated himself from VP consideration. Look for him to sink further into the lower tier.”

Unless he winds up as the VP choice? The GOPe has Kasick as VP in their plans.

Kasich is on my loser list for POTUS, although he may have value as OMB Director.

Why do Yeb, Kasich and other libtards think they come here illegally? To work a meanial job with virtually no pay like they get in there homeland? Or to freeload on the generous American government?

I'm quite sure they do. That means the conservative nominee shouldn't screw the pooch my selecting him.

Hey John!

ILLEGAL Immigrants impose SLAVE WAGES on LEGAL Immigrants and minorities, by flooding the labor market with cheap labor!!!

Kasich was too busy with his frat-buddies to actually get an education. Had he bothered to get an education, or worked in the real world, before slinking into politics, he might have some governing principals (a systematic, consistent philosophy) instead of the default philosophy of pragmatism. When “conservatives” (or in Kasich’s case people who have a vague understanding that some things are right and somethings are wrong) subscribe to pragmatics, they fall right into the left’s hands: “Hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

I suspect without his illegal population Ohio’s welfare costs would be halved, at least!!

Kasich needs to do a week long night ride along with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies. He needs to see what the crime associated with all the illegals really is. He needs to walk thru the jails & prisons in California & SEE who is there. They are there because they keep stealing, dealing drugs, participating in gang activity and home invasions. Your children are not getting an education & they are NOT safe at school. You are not safe in your home.

I lived in So Calif from 1964 to 1993. I WON’T GO BACK. It has become unsafe to even go grocery shopping at high noon in the west end of the San Fernando Valley. That is in one of the nicer areas.!

The unemployment in the Central Valley is over 50% in many towns dried up by the Federal water rulings & the drought. They have NOT gone back to south of the border. They are building shacks with materials they have scavanged from the dump. But they get free medical from the taxpayers of California.

San Francisco has a problem with illegals who have been deported 5 times +++ until they finally shoot a woman in broad daylight on the Embarcadaro. NOW he is finally in jail!!!!! The illegal & homeless population of San Francisco has urinated on so many poles in the city that a METAL pole came down last week from being eroded by the constant urine applications. !!! SAFE??? I think NOT.

Kasich needs to meet with Ranchers along the border with Mexico (Calif—Ariz—N Mexico—Texas) & find out how many have lost cattle, water, & even family members to the criminals who have INVADED us. Kasich could contact RANGE MAGAZINE staff in Carson City, Nevada & get plenty of up close information about the illegals and the damage to ranches & farms.

I DO NOT consider that behavior a CONTRIBUTION to America.

They have contributed to the decline in our school systems-—the overload of prisons & jails—the overloading of the justice system in general—and the cost of medical care in the USA.

Then, the state legislatures declare that they can have driver’s licenses!!! They don’t read English—don’t write English—How many of our traffic signs can they interpret??? YOUR vehicle insurance & MINE have gone up due to the illegal & usually uninsured driver’s. When I bought my first house in Calif in 1966, my UNINSURED motorist insurance cost me $1 a month extra. Now—the portion of my premium for UNINSURED motorist is 34% of the premium, which is over $1200 a year. I live rural & don’t drive over 10,000 miles a year. I haven’t had a ticket in over 14 years & that was for a seat belt violation. MY last accident was in the fall of 1966!!! 1/3 of my premium is for uninsured motorists!!!!!

In California, ILLEGALS are getting medical care & life long American born citizens cannot afford to get care because they are being taxed to pay for the care of the illegals. Illegals come in without any health review & measles, which had been eradicated for years surfaced on the West Coast last year & children died.

Where does Kasich think that measles outbreak came from??? He is correct in one regard-—the illegals are contributing something: More diseases!!

What’s wrong with that picture????

This is a recipe for disaster.

There is a tipping point for all of us-—How soon will Kasich and others find out???? How soon before all of this boils over?
Also—Kashich should do a week long ride-along at night with Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Politicians in the USA live inside their own bubble——They don’t have to rub elbows with the illegal invaders. I cannot listen to Kasich tell any of us how wonderful the illegal invaders are-—he doesn’t have to deal with them up close & personal. I did & I didn’t like it one little bit.

By my math, that says that 80% of them are getting some sort of benefits that working American taxpayers are footing the bills for.

His job is to stick around until the Ohio primary. It’s winner take all because of a bill Kasich pushed for. By the GOP’s calculations, he’ll pull a few votes away from Bush, but most of his votes will come form the “not-Bush” vote. Divide 100 by 15 and that’s 6.7%. That means a candidate could get all of Ohio’s 63 delegates with only 7% of the vote. Let’s say Kasich wins Ohio. He’ll still do horrible in every other state. He knows that, but he’ll get out after Ohio and give his delegates to Bush.

Am I right?

Kasich should check his American history.

At the end of World War II, Truman, a strong Democrat started deporting illegals. He needed the resources for thousands of returning American military members & they needed jobs here in America.

When Eisenhower was elected in 1952, he continued to deport illegals. In all, over 11 million illegals were sent back south of the border by those 2 Presidents.

It CAN be done & it SHOULD be done. The border fence should cover every inch of the border & hundreds of the returning military members should be hired as border patrol agents.
Give them all the ammo they need & stay out of their way.

Since no other country respects OUR borders....we have to stop the invaders.

Every time Kasich opens his mouth he decreases his (already minute) chance of getting elected.

Here’s more figures for you:

This spring, it was announced that California whites are NOW the MINORITY. Hispanics number over 18 MILLION 7 whites about 17 million.

80% of 18 million are sucking California dry. Just learned last month of another couple who sold out & went to Carson City, Nevada area because of the taxes-—fees—costs of living in So Calif. When I told them I have 5.58 acres & my horses & my property taxes last year were under $655, they didn’t believe me.

Kasich was just on w/ Laura Ingraham and him saying he’s tired of policies that “pit one American against another”.
Kasich’s irremovable blind spot is that to him the illegals are Americans and must be treated as so! The fact that there are millions of real Americans that used to have good jobs and now they can barely work doesn’t seem to matter to Kasich, aka Jeb Junior.
Ingraham cut Kasich off saying exactly that, the illegals are NOT Americans. Kasich replied “Well, they’re here and blah blah blah....”
