There is a real problem with letting this mass influx from these Sh****** countries.
How can these crap countries ever escape their shi***ness if you always allow everyone of their citizens that have any aspirations, to leave.
Then you have nothing but the sh***iest of the sh***y left. So at that point, how can they gain any traction as a country.
Heres my problem with this theory. The left used this argument, and its bull. I live in an area thats literally covered with illegals. Ive worked with them for nearly 20 years. One, they dont make $7 an hour, theres zero jobs around here that pay that low unless youre flipping burgers, and I challenge any democrat to come to northeast Georgia, and show me the over pouring number of Hispanic McDonalds employees. Two, the ones who do make a lower wage, say around $10 an hour, isnt the same as me getting the same job. You guys never mention that they dont pay taxes, nor their spouses, plus they get every free benefit known to man, and somehow, a crap load of money back at tax time. The Mexicans here brag about how stupid America is, because they easily get away with it. This isnt rumor, I was a supervisor for 7 years at my previous job, and saw their checks. Money alone, their $10/hour is like $15/ hour for me, not counting government freebies. If they do have concerns, they easily have a new name and ss number the next day. I have many Hispanic friends, and a few that are illegal. However, you guys acting like they come in make by pitiful money on jobs that no one else will work is simply bull crap. Id willingly take anyone wanting a tour to my local cal Walmart, or shopping in little Mexico, aka Gainesville Georgia, then you show me the poor Mexicans working for nothing on jobs that sorry white people allegedly wont work. They have it made, and theyre rolling. Let the government roll out a fair tax, and see how many of these folks stick around. Im not gonna say jmo, I live here with them, see it daily, and saying they work jobs we wont isnt right. Theyre making more than most with the way it works.

Yeah, because this is about how much you care about Haiti improving itself. Lol.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with keeping foreigners out.
It's incentives and it's true. Why in Shelby County, Tn, with one of the highest welfare populations by percentage in the nation, are immigrants coming to in droves? Anecdotally I can say that the large majority of manual labor here is done by immigrants.
yeah, cause Europe turned into a ****hole after "our" ancestors left.
Libs know they can't win elections with the normal American white person so they are trying to import as many big gov adoring voters as they can. There's no coherence or intellectual honesty here. It's a pure power grab and we have to crush them or we lose our homeland.
President Donald Trump denies the specific phrase, but let's give him a pass on this one, because he's right in the largest sense possible: Most immigrants who come to America do indeed come from places they'd rather not live or work. By definition. Whether their homelands are technically ****holes or something less offensive to contemporary ears isn't really a question. People come here because they think it's going to be better than where they're from.
It was true of all of my grandparents and all of your ancestors, too, if you're American. We all have roots elsewhere. The promise of America, since before its founding as a country, is precisely that you can start over here.
Things were different back then! No welfare state! Those countries were part of the "West," which is best!
Well, there was a welfare state, at least as it pertains to what today's immigrants (legal and illegal) qualify for, which is basically school for your kids and emergency medical care. Since the mid-1990s, when Bill Clinton was re-elected partly on the strength of his promises to end illegal immigration, illegals don't qualify for transfer payments (to the extent that immigrants, legal or otherwise, manage to cadge food stamps and the like, it's a rounding error in federal and state budgets).
Oh, and one more thing: The wretched refuse washing up on the East Coast had it easy compared to the Asians flooding the West Coast. The very first broad-based (which is to say racist) immigration restrictions were leveled against Chinese migrants in 1882. Back then, euphemisms were less common so a complete ban on Chinese people coming here to work was simply called The Chinese Exclusion Act. Anti-Chinese animus was virulent enough that it underwrote the single-biggest mass lynching in American history, which took place in Los Angeles in 1871. It was followed by less overt but no less sweeping legislation to keep Japanese out. Long before they became "model minorities," Asians were barred from coming here. They persisted, though, and America is a better place for their willingness to route around racism and attempts to keep them out.
The point of America is not where you're from, it's what you do when you show up here.
Bump, OBV. I'm truly interested.
The better question is why would we paint potential immigrants with broad strokes: From Haiti, bad. From Norway, good.
I'm in favor of giving people an OPPORTUNITY to potentially become a citizen, not the RIGHT. A selective screening process makes sense. Eliminating that opportunity because someone is poor and uneducated would have probably prevented huge scores of Irish and Scottish immigrants back in the day.
Our country is a melting pot. For some folks here to look down their noses at others and actually claim that they are "better" than them is just sad. We all have our place in society regardless of our education, ethnicity or wealth.
If people come here from poor countries in order to make a better living than they could at home, what's wrong with that? Should the question of whether you can make a good living be completely dependent on where you happened to be born?
