You should move.  We are not a socialist society. [/quote]
In some ways, we are.  The unemployment extension went way beyond what a worker/employee paid into unemployment insurance.  States like KY had not problems taking the extension on it.  Medicaid expansion is also a form of socialism, and again, some red states had no problems accepting it.[/quote]

Do socialist countries also allow an unmitigated inflow of undocumented immigrants?  Or might they have some regulations in place to control that?[/quote]
We have regulations in place, but [b]a lot of businesses continue to flaunt those regulations and hire illegal immigrants[/b]. Maybe we need more regulations.

A wall doesn't prevent visa overstays, which is now the majority source of illegal immigration.

The former first lady also worked here illegally at one point.  A wall didn't stop her, either.[/quote]

Pretty crazy, right?  I agree that we need a crackdown on employers who hire undocumented immigrants.  That would be a good start for both Democrats and Republicans.  I mean, how can Democrats support allowing business owners who pay cash wages under the table, to avoid paying the $15/hour minimum wage.  That makes zero sense!

The PP was citing Scandinavia.  How many undocumented immigrants does Scandinavia take in every year compared to the US?

Comparing the US to Scandinavia is asinine and disingenuous.  [/quote]
