[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long do immigrants in this country have to wait until they get their hands on all the goodies - free medical, food stamps, welfare, subsidized housing, and so forth? Its an important question since the majority of them are on government assistance.

HilllRy wants to pave a path so the illegals can become citizens, but of course most of they will eventually require taxpayer-funded support. So if we are to bend the rules, ignore the fact that they broke the rules, and allow them to become citizens, I think it's only fair that we should have a requirement that they must be self-sufficient. I've heard there's a five-year wait for legal immigrants, so we can't reward illegals by giving them the same wait. I'd say....10 years. Thoughts?

[b]Educated, self-sufficient,[/b] and law-abiding legal immigrants are always welcome in this country. I am speaking of ILLEGAL immigrants.

My parents were uneducated, poor [b]legal [/b]immigrants, and at times were on food stamps. They have now paid more into the system than they get back. I have also paid waaay more into the system earning six figures a year in the past 10 yrs than I will ever get back; same for my sibling.  You are quite ignorant.[/quote]

Read what you or the PP wrote, in bolded -- "educated, self sufficient"   -- those seem to the only types of immigrants that PP or you want. My point is that a there are lots of uneducated legal immigrants that end up paying more into the system eventually.[/quote]

We want LEGAL immigrants. Education can come with time. L-E-G-A-L.  Controlled immigration. When you flood a nation with tons of uneducated illegal immigrants, you are simply bringing there here. And then here becomes there. Get it?[/quote]
sure, I get it.. but that's not what that PP or you wrote. Hence my response.  Write what you mean, be clear, then we won't have this back/forth, kind of like Trump and how his surrogates are always having to clarify what he meant, though sometimes he refutes what they are trying to clarify.[/quote]

There will still be back and forth. Because bleeding heart liberals have no problem bringing in refugees and allowing illegals here when we have our own mouths to support and feed, as well as military veterans deserving of care. [/quote]
Sure, and if people like Trump paid their fair of taxes we'd have more money to pay for their care. Instead, he wants to cut rich people's taxes.  How will that help veterans?

I'm not a liberal, but I am a Christian. I've read many times how this country is supposed to be a "christian nation". I don't see much Christian goodwill when people don't want to help the poor.  I don't think the Bible has ever stated that we should only help poor citizens of our own country, but not poor foreigners.[/quote]
With what money, my friend?  Should we pile on top of the $20T debt and crash the whole system like Greece, or should we raise taxes on the middle class who are already suffering under unaffordable Obamacare premiums and stagnant wages? Tax the rich won't work.....we could confiscate the entire net worth of the Forbes 400, and it would still leave 90% of the debt untouched.[/quote]
First of all, can you tell me how much of the debt is caused by illegal immigrants, their net effect on our economy?

Secondly, the rich paying their fair share of taxes would indeed help reduce the deficit, if not at the least prevent it from going higher.

Third, lower class Americans were suffering without ACA.  I understand that many middle class were negatively affected by ACA, but there are many who were helped by it.[/quote]

Do you HONESTLY think that Hollywood will pay their fair share? Nope.[/quote]
