Seems like the Democrats' only strategy is to cry racism at every turn. This last bit about Pelosi saying the immigration proposal is a "plan to make America white again" just turns my stomach.
Dig deeper. The immigration plan calls for immigration to be based on merit .- people with skills and ability to contribute to society and less likely to go on public assistance. Is Pelosi saying that brown people don't have skills or ability, ARE the ones who are likely to become dependent on taxpayer programs, and thus be hurt by such a law? Who's the real racist here? |
There aren't very many immigrants on public assistance. We need both skilled and unskilled immigrants, but to your point, a lot of people are complaining that the skilled engineers and doctors are taking "all of our jobs," so which is it? Do we want skilled people or unskilled people who work hard and sacrifice to make a better life for their kids, i don't know, like your ancestors did for you? For me, I would want both types of immigrants. With 4% unemployment, that is virtual full employment for the country. The only way we can keep our GDP growing is to expand the pie. |
You can't just make a blanket statement like that without a source. The fact is that immigrants receive more in public assistance than native-born families. https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2016/0509/Do-immigrants-receive-more-welfare-money-than-natural-born-US-citizens |
You are citing a 2016 article that is based on 2012 data. Try again. |
Hasn't changed in a few short years. In the meantime, you were the one who made the false claim that not many immigrants are on public assistance. Instead of criticizing my data showing the opposite, how about a link backing up your claim, at all? |

Immigrant household use food stamps and Medicaid at almost twice the rate of native citizens. Shows why we news merit-based immigration and not just let in anyone regardless of his ability to support himself.

Why do we need to grow the GDP at all costs when the fact is the vast majority of that growth goes straight into the pockets of the one percent? It’s not benefitting your average Americans. It’s the billionaires and ruling elites who are behind the push for ever-increasing immigration. |
"A study from a pro-'low immigration' policy institute estimates the United States spends 41 percent more on welfare for immigrant households than it does for households headed by natural born citizens. Critics say the study's methodology is flawed." |
Yeah, i.e. trailer parks are the haven of Trumpers every where. |
The biggest beneficiaries of the government safety net are the Working-class whites.

Whole world getting browner.

Hoe many times have you liberals been told that absolute numbers mean nothing! Of course there are more whites on welfare....there are more whites. The fact remains the minorities (not Asians, though) take a disproportionate amount of public assistance. |
Won’t be for long

Ah....it's the PP who threatens that blacks are going to be the majority one day and then they will make whites feel the pain. She's such an idiot that she thinks the way to discourage discrimination and bigotry is to threaten it against others. |
| Word has it the Dems want 18 million immigrants, illegal and otherwise, to get amnesty |
