[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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?[/quote]

[b]There aren't very many immigrants on public assistance. [/b]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. [/quote]

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.

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? [/quote]

"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."[/quote]
