but you wouldn't be calling yourself an illegal invader from Sh&&oles trying to get the proserity
you would be calling yourself a man trying to take care of his family
Because that’s EXACTLY what is happening to them. Everyone is a victim, right?
Next thing you will be believing they are running from Zombies.
Did this sh&&&&le just get overrun with gangs? If not, why are these “good people “ bringing kids into such a world?
I cannot believe how some find a way to justify anything.

Sounds like you’re talking about Trump voters continuing to support him, despite letting illegal invaders into the country everyday. Unbelievable that is what they think it means to Make America Great Again
Quote: BozEveryone is a victim, right?
why are these “good people “ bringing kids into such a world?
no, everyone is not a victim. some are predators. some are prey
the drive to procreate is so strong that nothing will stop it even if the situation seems hopeless
that is the nature of human beings - they have hope no matter what - children represent hope - for a better life - a brighter future - among other things
chances are very good that somewhere within your ancestry, one or more of your ancestors lived in great poverty and in the middle of a war
and they continued to have children
if they hadn't done that you wouldn't be here criticizing other people for having children

In other words, they can’t control their junk, can’t take the effort wrapping it and are willing to bring a child into a world where they can’t support it. Yea, these are the exact type of people we need as immigrants. And you wonder why they are dependent their entire lives.
Sounds like the human equivalent of rabbits to me.
But thanks for better explaining their (lack of) thought process. Next you can explain to me why I should pay a higher percentage of my income in taxes if I work harder and make a better living for myself to support these people when they come here and sign right up for welfare.

Simple, we need educated immigrants who come the right way. Not unskilled illegals standing outside a Home Depot willing to work for cash.
Until you can show me every able bodied American has a job and is not collecting benefits for not working, I disagree that we need illegals.

For most the history of our country, the prevailing value was that everyone had the personal freedom to do what they wanted (wrap it up or don't, have a child or not) and accept the personal accountability to take care of it. Now Trump and his supporters are turning away from those values and instead want our country to take on the communist values that the government decides what is best for us.
Quote: TomGThis is definitely the type of stuff Trump and his supporters think it takes to Make America Great Again
Exactly.

Another lie from the left to deflect blame from the government and vilify American employers. Illegals earn only slightly less than their legal peers. If they are doing it off the books, they're taking home more than their legal peers.

Quote: lilredroostera great many, I don't what %, of the immigrants trying to come here are going through the process attempting to be legally granted asylum
They can apply for asylum in Mexico, or Canada, or other countries they enter along the way.
No reason for them to come here for asylum, if they are already in a country that is allowing them to apply for asylum.

3.4% less than George Soros, or your average McDonald's apprentice? I'm thinking they aren't picking up the high wage jobs to start with.

I can see both side. The reason against doing it, is that it is very bad for the country. The reason for doing it is because we have a government of the people and Trump won the election and he continues to give all these welfare benefits to everyone. So until we find politicians who end our welfare state and put them in elected positions, we know it's going to continue

We don’t need any immigrants with 10 kids who are dirt poor and would just suck off the government teet.
I’m no fan of the welfare state in this country and thats obviously something we should be fixing. It’s not like Trump is just giving it out. It’s been part of the system. He inherited a ****ed up system. You can’t blame him for trying to fix the system, while you have these bat-s*** crazy liberals in the government (like AOC) who’re pushing for more social nonsense like UBI and whatnot.
