Immigration and Socialism Are NOT Compatible

The primary reason that mass immigration destroys the welfare state because immigrants receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes.

This is not true for every immigrant—some never collect government handouts—but it is true for the overall immigrant population. Studies from across the Western world prove this point.

A recent, and comprehensive study from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found that although immigration is (theoretically) revenue-neutral in America, not all immigrants are created equal. Half of all immigrants actually receive more in government assistance than they pay in taxes, but thankfully they are balanced out by the other half. Specifically, immigrants who came to America for family reasons, or arrived as refugees, cost a net present value of $170,000.

Liberals often point out welfare states as good examples of “socialism”. But in an actual socialist society, those who don’t contribute to the collective are removed from the system.

I have said for years, to not let muslims into our country. Their motives and their plans for coming here ought to keep them out.

They do not plan to assimilate... they come to conquer... to make this country muslim.. they work quietly, doggedly and we should be smart enough to know this. .. but we don’t.

They are in our governmentand they will keep on getting the whole camel under our tent. We are smart? NO... Washington welcomes trouble and destruction.

Immigration may be incompatible with a socialist state once it has been implemented.

But before the socialist state has been implemented, uncontrolled immigration can be helpful in destroying the existing culture and government so that the socialist state has a cleared building site on which to be constructed.

Immigrants need to be able to earn their own bread, from the get-go. Period. No minimum wage.

Yeah, destruction of the existing culture is the first goal of socialism. But you can’t separate the end from the means. Stalin said you must break some eggs to make an omelette, but the egg-breaking never stops. What’s left in the end is a destroyed society, like you see in Venezuela. Socialists know what they want to destroy, but they don’t really know what to put in its place.

I think you have cut to the bone re: socialism.

When the fancy talk of "social" good and false "morality" is cut away, what is left is a program to rob humans of the one thing that makes us human...our freedom.

And since a government program cannot actually complete that process, socialists must keep their egg-breaking going until, in the end, it is just an endless egg-breaking process and nothing more.

Socialists are selling nothing more than tickets to join the "plantation" as slaves.

It is perfectly fitting that "socialists" would be a radical sect of the Democratic Party, who is itself nothing more than a collection of overseers of plantation slaves.
