Title: Send the Illegals Back, Americans First! Post by: noviapriani on July 25, 2014, 04:27:36 PM We've welcomed people from all over the world, our nation is built on the backs of immigrant workers, we live in peace and harmony with one another, different races and different cultures, we have accepted and embraced them as our own, Americans.
Now our nation is trillions of dollars in debt, with millions of Americans living below the poverty line who rely on government assistance to survive, veterans who fought for our country are dying for lack of care from the government and people they fought to protect, and our school system is failing due to lack of funding, this is not the time for our nation to add more burden to its weight, this is not the time to welcome people who enter in our nation illegally and spend billions of dollars caring for them. This view does not make me a racist. I have friends from every race, nor do I care the races of those that enter our country illegally. I believe in one thing, and that is to do what is right for this nation and its people, and spending billions of dollars, money that we have to borrow to spend, in aid to illegal immigrants is not good for our nation. Our efforts and financial resources must be focused on improving the lives of our own citizens first, not those who come from other countries, illegally. Americans First.

Post by: protokol on July 25, 2014, 05:58:22 PM ...back in the old days of red injuns and savages, people had shitty sanitation and had to shit in a hole in the ground out the back of the house in a freezing wooden box, even the ladies the fashion trends were really shitty, folk had to dress up like cunts Man I just spat beer into my keyboard while reading that :D :D When I read the thread title I thought OP meant "send the Americans back first", ie send the original immigrants back!! On topic, I'm not sure what I think about immigration anymore. I firmly disagree with illegal and legal immigrants claiming benefits/welfare, however in my experience (in the UK) all the immigrants I've met (Poles/Chinese/Indian/Pakistani/Bulgarian etc) have a very strong work ethic. It's the native British which seem to claim benefits and turn down jobs because they'd rather not work. I've heard the argument of "immigrants come over here, live together with 10 people in 1 house, and send all their money home, so they make no contribution to the economy!" I'm not sure it's a valid argument, because we are all free to live like that if we want, but most British people want a family, an expensive car and a mortgage. I suppose I don't agree with illegal immigration per se, but then I don't agree with the UK immigration laws - I think there should be free labour, but no benefits/welfare for immigrants (apart from extreme circumstances, like if someone got run over through no fault of their own and couldn't work). Basically, if you're willing to pay your own way, then you should be allowed to work wherever the hell you want. EDIT: I also think that the "immigration card" is being played far too much - I agree that illegal immigrants can be a drain on society, however I think that the state of the economy in general is much more of a problem, due to crony capitalism, tax evasion, financial monopolies, defense budgets etc. Title: Re: Send the Illegals Back, Americans First! Post by: Chef Ramsay on July 25, 2014, 06:03:05 PM It used to be that a man would immigrate to a country and had enough money on hand to be able to get by for about a week until he could find a job. He was screened coming in for disease and then would go to the local section of town where similar ethnicities would converge. He would then work his ass off for many years and only then would he be able to bring his wife and kids over from the mother country. Sadly, this isn't the case in recent times which is driving the sentiments about immigrants as a whole. Lately, by and large most of these people are coming here for promised amnesty which isn't law and using public entitlements which is additional negative PR in a stagnant and declining country where the average person isn't thriving.
Title: Re: Send the Illegals Back, Americans First! Post by: galbros on July 25, 2014, 11:17:16 PM It is hard to really get upset at people, especially children, looking for a better life. In many ways this shows how the U.S. is still one of the better countries in the world.
However, you can't have both free immigration and a welfare state. The current US situation is a toughie no matter how you come at it. As much as I'd like to say just send them all home that seems unfairly harsh to the children. At the same time, one of the few things that makes the US stable is some confidence in the rule of law, but it is hard to support that when you have so many living there illegally.

Then and now its the same only this time the immigrants are entering the USA's native lands and do not have weapons to back them ^^. Although it is true for a nation that is supposedly wealthy many of its citizenry are not. Anyways the problem isn't welfare per se its the way spending is used Most going to prescription medicines and how doctors are paid by referrals more or less the real problem is the lack of money spent into preventative health care and reducing the burden of these expensive diseases like cancer diabetes and the sort instead of trying to delay their onset as long as possible.

Post by: Chef Ramsay on July 26, 2014, 08:29:39 PM More than 200 illegal immigrant children housed (AKA dumped) in Indiana
Quote Indiana residents have accepted more than 200 of the unaccompanied Central American children who have recently shown up on the U.S. border — creating confusion among state officials and stoking passions on the immigration issue. State Sen. Brent Steele, R-Bedford, criticized President Barack Obama’s immigration policies Thursday, and caused a mixup when he sent out an email to constituents claiming no “illegal aliens have been dumped in our state.” Steele cited the office of Gov. Mike Pence as his source. Christy Denault, a spokeswoman for Pence, clarified that the federal government pledged to notify Indiana if it intends to set up a “detention center” here. So far, no such facilities have been established in Indiana, but some children have been sent here to live with “sponsors” while they go through deportation proceedings. The sponsors often are relatives or family friends. Shortly after Steele’s email was sent, the Associated Press reported that new federal government data indicated that Indiana sponsors have received 245 of the more than 30,000 children released to sponsors this year through July 7. In at least one other state, Mississippi, the governor criticized the federal government for placing children with sponsors without notifying state officials, according to the Associated Press.

The president of Honduras on why the United States and its drug habit are to blame for the violence and kid immigrants fleeing Central America. Quote Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández came to Washington this week with just about the toughest hand a world leader can play: His tiny, impoverished country is both very dependent on what happens here in the United States and more or less without leverage to shape it. The only leverage, in fact, that Honduras and its small, equally troubled neighbors Guatemala and El Salvador have found recently has come in the form of small children, tens of thousands of whom have clambered over the U.S. border this year in numbers so large and so unexpected they’ve created an immigration crisis that, at the least, has succeeded in placing Central America’s plague of drugs, violence and poverty on the Washington agenda in a way it wouldn’t have been otherwise. That said, it’s still not clear what, if anything, will come of the new state of affairs—at least not when it comes to Honduras, so deadly that its city of San Pedro Sula has been dubbed “the murder capital of the world” and so politically troubled that Washington hardly blinked when its elected president was toppled in a coup a few years back.

And, it's the cartels that are the transporters and god knows what else they did to these children along the way. Title: Re: Send the Illegals Back, Americans First! Post by: cp1 on July 28, 2014, 02:52:33 PM warfare protects everyone in the country from external threats, and tends to benefit the lower class the most as most people in the lower ranks of the military are from less wealthy families and they will receive additional pay during times of war (hazard pay, ect). I don't think that dying or getting your legs amputated by IEDs qualify as benefits. Wouldn't it be nice if we spent that money on education instead so that those poor people had a third option besides joining the marines or working at walmart?

You are delusional and out of touch with reality. There is no point trying to talk to people like you. Those that come here illegally, often have children, who are US born, and then the parents receive benefits on their behalf. In this case the illegal immigrants receive full benefits based on the size of their family.

No. Rent is not property tax. Rent is rent.Also, being illegal, they don't receive any benefits, such as unemployment or medicare. Tell me where these "billions spent on illegals" are being spent? But many of them do pay personal income tax. I haven't looked it up in a while, but the last time I looked it up, it was a couple million people who had filed with an ITIN. As I understand it, however, the IRS has imposed some restrictions on ITIN filings within the last year or so that would likely disincentivize undocumented workers from filing a tax return. It would be interesting to see if ITIN filings have dropped despite immigration numbers going up. Title: Re: Send the Illegals Back, Americans First!
