The Real timschochet 6,430 Posted February 4, 2024 32 minutes ago, Voltaire said: The vast majority are not criminals but rather are fine people just looking for a better life and are willing to work. Despite this, they are still unwelcome, because the ones that don't work are an economic burden, while the ones that do work drive down wages of low income American citizens. It should have been obvious from the start, and it was to many of us, that neither the US government, nor states, nor municipalities have available the financial means, facilities, personnel, or other resources to provide for them. By providing more and more handouts for the needy, it just encourages more and more dependency. Low income people who are working hard and barely getting by, do not appreciate paying taxes that provide their welfare dependent neighbors or illegal aliens that don't belong here to have the same standard of living as they do. "I worked hard to pay for that. Why ae you using my tax money to give it to him for free?" This basic concept has proven true, yet has also completely escaped the Democratic Party for sixty years. It is not the responsibility of the US taxpayer to provide for people who we do not want and should not be here. We have our own issues to solve. Providing for illegal aliens means that resources are shifted away from US citizen services. Meanwhile immigration paperwork for legal immigrants doing things the right way gets stalled and backed up. This is a legitimate argument. I don’t agree with it at all but it’s not hateful, bigoted or xenophobic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 14,940 Posted February 4, 2024 When the deportations start it should be done humanely but orderly. Muslims first, then anyone else not from our hemisphere, maybe start with the Chinese in that group. Then the fat women that will serve no purpose here, then the rest in reverse order of arrival.

seafoam1 2,803 Posted February 4, 2024 Even the rappers are getting pissed. Famous rapper 50 Cent recently expressed his displeasure over news that New York City is planning to allocate millions of dollars to give migrant families pre-paid credit cards to migrant families. In a new Instagram post, the rapper even went so far as to say that the policy might even motivate him to vote for former President Donald Trump in 2024. The "In Da Club" rapper reacted to a New York Post story published Friday reporting on a policy pushed by the Adams administration that will take $53 million and distribute it among asylum-seeking families in the city in the form of pre-paid credit cards.

Hardcore troubadour 14,940 Posted February 4, 2024 The vast majority of any group are not criminals. But if you’re not weeding out the criminals within the group, you get more criminals, then more crime. So it’s just silly to say that the vast majority aren’t criminals. The vast majority of people that fly aren’t terrorists. Should we stop checking for them on airplanes ? Some of you really need validation from the other side. You shouldn’t when faced with an absurdity. Stop being a cuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BirdGang 385 Posted February 4, 2024 Yep, if the vast majority aren’t criminals then ask them to follow our laws and go through the appropriate protocols so we can keep out the ones that are. It’s pretty simple, as long as you aren’t a criminal or support criminals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’ll be a huge backlog to ensure the American citizen is kept safe. Then you won’t be able to push through millions and then claim they are here legally.

Patented Phil 1,469 Posted February 5, 2024 The Democrats saw the signs, but just kept driving that car right off the cliff. Do a quick Google search and you’ll see anti-immigration articles in the New York Times, the Atlantic, BBC, LA Times… it’s incredible. Hell, even 60 Minutes acknowledges there’s a crisis at the border and something needs to be done. In a Harvard-Harris poll on January 23rd, immigration passed inflation as the #1 concern of voters. Not Republican voters - ALL voters. The most unnecessary, unforced error… just to piss off Trump and the MAGA crowd. Got a bunch of children running this country.

All acts of violence are terrible and should be punished. Any undocumented immigrant caught committing a violent crime should be punished and then immediately deported, no questions asked.

I don’t care if it’s a riot, or a peaceful protest that turns into a riot, or this situation. It’s never acceptable. 3. The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are not violent. They do not deserve to get grouped in with those that are. That is my objection to the posts here. When you group people together in such a manner you are engaging in ignorance and bigotry. It’s not acceptable. The bolded from you is just ridiculous. You don't even believe what you wrote here, FFS. In terms of the last bolded sentence, you lump conservatives/MAGA in together, every one of them. And yet you and others lecture about ignorance and bigotry. I know you want to believe that people who come here are good, but even the ones YOU hire likely aren't here legally; just that fact means that you're hiring felons. Why not hire a homeless person and help them make some money a few months out of the year? Or create a program that hires veterans who are looking for work?

Why not hire a homeless person and help them make some money a few months out of the year? Or create a program that hires veterans who are looking for work? 1. I don’t group conservatives and MAGA people together. There are many conservative ideas I like and support. I like and support very few MAGA ideas. I have both conservatives and MAGA people among my closest friends and family. I love them and they are good people. I don’t agree with many of their ideas, especially the MAGA folks. But unless one is a radical extremist of some sort (very few Americans are) bad ideas doesn’t make one a bad person, and vice versa for good ideas. 2. Do you know why I hire day laborers, many of whom are probably undocumented (I don’t ask)? Because they’re reliable. I know where to find them, they quote a price, I pay it, they get the job done. I feel terrible about homeless people and I’ve donated plenty of money to shelters. I want to help them anyway I can. But as workers they’re not reliable. I would never personally give a homeless person cash because most of the time they will use it on drugs or alcohol. That’s a sad truth. They need help, need to clean up, then maybe they can work. But I’m not hiring them off the street. 3. Finally, when I hire undocumented people I am not hiring felons. Coming here without legal papers is not a felony; it’s a misdemeanor.

It normally does result in more crime. In the case of these folks it doesn’t because they work so many hours and are terrified of deportation. But let’s be clear: the mass immigration we had in the early 20th century which produced my forefathers (and perhaps yours as well) resulted in intense poverty and crime in the large cities of this country. But the overall result was positive; it always is. So even if new immigration, legal or otherwise, resulted in greater crime, I would still be for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
