By the way...my ancestors came here to escape poverty and oppression. There have been waves of immigration and those people helped make America great. They came here in spite of the ignorant shit heads who insisted that those people brought poverty and disease.
The statistics on just how much welfare goes to immigrants are available. You should look it up. In the mean time I can tell you about the Vietnamese woman who fled her shithole country and came here in the 70s. She and her husband and two kids lived in a basement apartment, partially subsidized. Lived on what he made as a janitor and on foodstamps and college tuition aid while she got her degree. She came to work for me as a programmer after graduation. Her husband went back to school for his degree. They were probably on public assistance for 8 years. Yeah...fvck that...right?
You lucked out. You were born here. You have enjoyed what countless millions of immigrants have created and now damn others to live lives of abject poverty and
worse.
Did you say you are a Christian?
sure plenty of people immigrated here, worked hard and made this country great. and they did so at a time when you either lived or died with no "social safety net". No food stamps. No mandatory public education, no disability and no housing allowances. You starved or you froze to death, depending on how good you were.
And in fact they did bring disease and poverty. I am sure it is of great consolation to all those people who died after being infected by diseases brought with them by others, that those people managed to have a good life here.
We can go back to that way if you want, since you seem rather fond of those times.
Since we have a TON of our own loser shithead that we are already supporting, no I have no desire to import more. Of course opium is culling that herd pretty handily.
Not that anyone's religious affiliation should matter but I am agnostic.
