Y'all are barking up the wrong tree. The reason people wanted to (and still want to) immigrate here is because of our Constitutions and our individual freedoms, that allow people to make something of themselves. Progressives are in the process of dismantling those freedoms and our Constitution, and think that immigration will have the same effect. It won't. There will be more takers than givers due to the vast welfare state that exists today, and you will see our country deteriorate, as all other countries deteriorated with the same policies.

Woah, you have that totally wrong. For one thing, progressives aren't dismantling any freedoms - they are making sure that others have the same shot at the same freedoms as you. Secondly, it's not the immigrants who are the takers - it's the multigenerational Americans who feel entitled. Far more white people are on food stamps and other benefits than there are immigrants - or blacks for that matter. [/quote]

Both PPs above are generalizing and stereotyping.  So, who is the bigot here?  The conservative or the progressive?

Answer: Both

Nice attempt at deflection with "both" but NO.  Sorry but it's an objective, documented, quantifiable fact that more white people are on food stamps than black or hispanic.  Here are the numbers: 39.8% of SNAP participants are white, 25.5% are African-American, 10.9% are Hispanic, 2.4% are Asian, and 1% are Native American.  So whatever opinions or perceptions you have to the contrary are irrelevant given the actual facts.[/quote]
