When all the Democrat candidates raised their hands on the stage when asked by the debate moderators if they were for illegals to get free healthcare you agreed with them. Quote Unfortunately- as much as I personally agree with most of the people on stage about this issue, it’s a losing one for the Democrats. You can’t give undocumented people free healthcare.

Horseman 2,357 Posted February 20 27 minutes ago, The Real timschochet said: You’re welcome to link to me saying I believe in free healthcare, housing, and welfare for all. January 20th, 2020. You're campaigning for free healthcare for illegals. Quote But it's still a minor issue. There are 10-15 million undocumented people living in this country. Most of them would never apply for medical insurance, which is too bad, because right now when they get sick the ones with no money go to the emergency room, and that ends up costing us more. But say a good chuck of them, five million people, get free health care. Thats 5 million out of 300 million. It won't drive your healthcare costs up. It won't affect you in the slightest one way or another (except that its probably good for public health.) That's the definition of a minor issue. I get that it's something you care about, but its not something that affects your life. As usual your pants are on fire. Should we do housing next? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 2 cousins like that. I have a FB account that I almost never visit, but in 2015 two of my cousins were sending messages to all of their friends. I got one and it read "Hey, just wanted to check in with you to see how you were doing... and to ask if you were voting for that piece of racist or Hillary." I said, "Neither, I'm voting for Donald Trump". Got no response, just got unfriended. No skin off my back. At family parties, we now know who voted for Hillary, Biden, and Harris and who voted for Trump, because those 2 cousins don't talk to anyone who voted for Trump. That includes their brother and parents. Neither showed up to their dad's funeral 2 years ago. Edited February 20 by TBayXXXVII Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have Downs Syndrome too? I was a United States Soldier on the West/East German border in the 1980's. I was face to face with the Russians and East Germans. If a war would have broken out in the 1980's I would have been forced to pull a trigger on them.

Everyone can see exactly what a joke you are. But here is one more, you're campaigning for illegals to get free government assistance of all kinds. Quote How many corporations are on some form of government assistance (re: subsidies)? Perhaps we should kick some of them out? I have made the argument numerous times that illegal immigrants provide much more of a financial benefit to society than they take out. I have linked to studies to prove it. But of course, modern day conservatives and nativists reject this because they simply don't want to believe it. Illegals are a necessary scapegoatl it's too easy to blame them for society's ills.
