Arlington? Newton? Cambridge? Another segregated suburb? |
What great news for the population and work force? Many new skilled, literate and educated economic migrants ready to work, pay taxes and grow the Massachusetts economy! |
Too bad too sad. We can't let the entire world move here. There have to the restrictions or the US will be completely overwhelmed with migrants. |
I’m the Boston poster. I’m happy with the Gov’s 5 day plan and the enumerated priorities for access. People may come here, but it will be too expensive to stay. They will go to NH and ME. |
Many of these illegal migrants have no useful skills, they are illiterate, and don't speak English. We should reject all asylum seekers and migrants that do not pass an English proficiency test and an aptitude test. |
Dude, I agree with you. The point I was trying to make is if I'd be pissed if I were one of those people who has been waiting in good faith for more than 20 years for citizenship and instead, all these people who crossed unlawfully (ie illegally) in the meantime are granted amnesty as Sen. Warren suggested Harris will do. |
They in fact, do not. Please show me where in the federal budget than Texas itself specifically receives money in order for them to provide shelter, food, medical care for asylum seekers— that non-border states can not themselves receive. I have asked this NUMEROUS times, in numerous places online. No one can ever answer me. They normally just show me a number for federal money received by Texas for everything every other state also receives money for. Or point out border patrol budgets (border patrol is not migrant caretaking service, they process and release migrants into the interior. They do not provide them with resources). I’m asking for money given to Texas to take care of recently crossed migrants specifically. If you can prove to me there is this magic pot of money for Border states to provide for migrants, but that Texas is instead doing something else with it I have no problem admitting that I was wrong. Sadly no one has ever taken me up on this. |
Can we apply this logic to Republican states that bemoan government finances and yet receive the most in federal finances every single year, contributing the least to the union? Arm for the Arm. |
Tell that to Rs who think Cuban refugees are fine. |
Only if you show the math for taking without defense spending or welfare spending on Dems in red states. See, for example, welfare in Jackson, MS is not going to Repubs. |
No, we cannot. Completely different issues. |
Do you have any actual data to back that up? Do you think they just hatched out of eggs and immediately started running northward to the US border? Do you not think they had lives before leaving? While some of them might not have robust education or work background, there are a lot of them who actually do - in fact there are engineers, lawyers and other people who fled bad conditions to come to the US. Also, people like you and Trump have incredibly naive and underinformed knowledge of what the laws actually are - you think you can just "round 'em all up and do a mass deportation" - that's actually illegal and unconstitutional. The Constitution guarantees a right of due process and the laws say they must first be given a fair hearing or trial before they can be deported. |
And Republicans are fine with Melania completely cheating the system and fraudulently getting a visa. |
And then bringing her entire family over via chain migration. |
