Can someone let me know why we couldn’t make it easier for Americans to have large families - like we used to - instead of simply importing the Third World?

The short answer, is that many people don’t want to have big families. I personally know a few, who after having a 2nd or 3rd child, the couple took care of things so they wouldn’t have any more.

We, as the only country formed with the idea of propagating the Gospel, rejected Christ; thus the repeated warnings throughout the Bible are the same: you lose your nation, your stuff, and your women to foreigners.

We abort, we don't have large families, the families we do have are scattered as each person searches for money, and we have a culture that destroys the nuclear family by erasing boundaries.

Sounds about right.

Maybe we should build a wall?

Because you can’t guarantee that the Americans with large families would vote socialist. Duh.

A interesting fact is that we are importing about the same number people as are aborted each year.

That’s ridiculous. So you’re saying that people from the Third World are better then Americans because “they won’t vote socialist”?

Beyond Stupid.

The arrival of 1.75 million immigrants (legal and illegal) in 2016 continues the post-2011 surge in immigration.

In 2011 it was 1.08 million - in 2012 it was 1.21 million - in 2013 it was 1.28 million - in 2014 it was 1.5 million - and in 2015 it was 1.62 million.

Reverse the Magnet ~

This is what it takes:

1. Secure the border in a transparently verifiable way;
2. End the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment;
3. Enforce E-Verify without exception and with severe penalties;
4. End chain migration. Entry per individual qualifications, not family ties;
5. Deportation upon contact with any law enforcement agency - federal, state, or local;
6. No government benefits beyond critical emergency care (and that ought to be billed back to the home government);
7. No “Path to Citizenship” - EVER - for anyone who has entered the US illegally.

I think he was being sarcastic.

Everyone knows that Third World immigrants vote Socialist.

Interesting.

The report goes to great length to include legal and illegal entrants in its numbers.

Since the number of legal entrants is a matter of record the illegal number is quite easy to determine.

Then there is this from the Data Source appearing early in the report:
[the number of immigrants] does not include those born to immigrants in the United States, including to illegal immigrant parents...

Isn't that helpful. I wonder if the report is prepared by a tax-funded operation. If so, why isn't the number of illegals set apart for public consumption?

THE MEANING OF THE KEY PHRASE IN THE 14th AMENDMENT
President Trump is SPOT-ON. He CAN halt BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP with an Executive Order. It WILL NOT require amending the Constitution!
PLEASE SHARE this information. We’d better halt the ignorance out there BEFORE the left DESTROYS AMERICA!
The INTENT of the drafters and the MEANING of those key words “...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...” is crystal clear!
From the debate notes surrounding the enactment of the 14th Amendment at this site:https://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn/ethics-population-and-immigration/fourteenth-amendment-debate.html

“The jurisdiction requirement was added to the original draft of the Fourteenth Amendment by the Senate after a lengthy and acrimonious debate. In fact, Senator Jacob Merritt Howard of Michigan proposed the addition of the phrase specifically because he wanted to make clear that the simple accident of birth in the United States was not sufficient to justify citizenship. Sen. Howard noted that the jurisdiction requirement is “simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already.” Sen. Howard said that “this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Maybe I’m Irony Challenged this morning.

But in reality I’d like to put it out there for the Don Trump’s of the world, because I KNOW that the Rat party won’t go for it. They aborted themselves out of existence, that’s why they need new shock troops.

Russia now has direct subsidies for Russian children and has managed to reduce the abortion rate significantly — it’s even a billboard campaign in Moscow (been there, seen that).

A lousy kiddie deduction ain’t doin’ it for us.

I'm an only child, my wife had one sibling. We had 2 kids, wouldn't have had any more no matter what.

This country is dying. Our replacement people are being imported and our birth replenishment rate is too low.

I think part of what is happening is that people around the world take Trump seriously and believe that he WILL build a wall. So they are coming now because it’s possibly their last chance.

So the only thing that will get Americans to start reproducing and defeat the Socialist plan to import Socialist voters is......Socialism.
