Are illegal aliens,hurting us?
i personally being in the medical profession, have witnessed the abuse of illegals and their children in our emergency rooms.while many uninsured hard working americans cannot use this system without harassment. i also believe they are killing our medicaid, education, welfare and housing situations. my own son has to stand in line behind them with 2 boys. they also take many jobs and not just menial jobs, then they stand in line at walmart and wire the money to mexico. plus, something liberals never seem to talk about they live on vineyards or tobbacco plantations 20-30 of them in a shack making 3.00 -4.00 an hour. if they were black this would constitute slavery. then there is the poverty, uneducated 3rd world concept that our country could fall into. and crime is horrendous among them, but thats a story for another day.
How has illegal immigration/aliens caused property value to go down?
I'm closely associated with rental property owners and managers. Lower-value apartments are especially hard hit. Do NOT be gullible on this topic as the truth will only come back to haunt you, eventually. Among illegal aliens, there are some who are much better than others. But those considered more lawful by our standards are just as likely to CLAM UP and refuse to provide help that might lead to an end to one crime-ring, then another, etc, ... just as likely as the least lawful. When one family in a small complex blares their stereo (designed to shake loose the tectonic plates beneath them) at max decibels, everybody around them moves out, leaving 5 or 10 empty units to appease ONE trouble-maker. Landlord evicts. Nobody moves back into that area (they seem to keep records on these things to the point that you'd think they have computer databases across the country!). A few months pass, then a member of the Noise family shows up...or maybe a friend, maybe even a total stranger. This person rents an apartment near the same area as before, within days, the old family is back with the same or bigger noise machine and it starts again. Given a day or a week, the original family is back. Nothing has changed. Not ONE among them will see this as an issue of shared, mutual liberties nor as a violation of the kind that leads to an END to liberties. The nature of complaints follows a sort of "what can you do for ME?" model. Not an understanding of equality. End result, the complexes remain about 60% occupied, which means ZERO profit. Why not just oust them all and remake with a new tenant base? I can give about 50,000 to 100,000 reasons per unit. In other words, property owners are absolutely stuck. Give it up and tear'm down, or stay the course till something changes. ...
Why are some people so ready to ignore that illegals are breaking the law yet would lose their minds if someone entered their home uninvited?
Somebody across town has just run a stop sign. They’re not breaking into my house. Someone across town has drank a little too much. They’re not breaking into my house. There’s other people hundreds, maybe thousands of miles away from me. They’re not breaking into my house. There’s ten thousand other people living within five miles of me. They’re not breaking into my house. Illegal Immigrants are three percent of the US’ population. Three percent of anything never makes me “lose my mind”. At any given time, 20% of the people you see - at the store, at your work, on the road - are under the influence. They’re not breaking into my house. There’s something like 350 million guns in America. There’s nobody with a gun breaking into my house.MOST people find this scenario completely ridiculous. SOME people are quivering wusses. MOST people are not.
Do you think illegal immigrants in the United States should be allowed to receive welfare, food stamps, and free health care?
This is over simplifying the situation.Hospital emergency rooms are not allowed to turn anyone away on the basis of their ability to pay. So, that’s how a lot of the poor and uninsured get their healthcare. This is a much bigger problem than illegal immigration, but I won’t beat that particular horse here.Whether they can get any other assistance is dependent on the state they are in. Federal law declares all undocumented immigrants ineligible to receive federal funds.Now, the issue with a program like SNAP is that it is by family. Let’s say the children were born in the US, but one, or both, of their parents are undocumented. If the income of eligible adults is below the threshold, then that family is eligible to receive food stamps.Where it gets really complicated is when families include both natural born citizens and undocumented immigrants. Do you deny assistance to the family members that are legal citizens because they live with undocumented immigrants? Do you take food out of the mouths of hungry US child citizens? Or do you, maybe, separate families, to solve this problem. All of this is pretty cruel, and will provide pretty terrible optics for whoever pushes for them.So, how do we deal with it? Simplify the issue. Just ignore the fact that there are legal US citizens that will be adversely affected by a simplistic solution.
What would happen if all the illegal immigrants are out of the United States permanently?
I am not taking sides, so I don't want to hear "Dem Messicans need to go back to their country! I hate dem Messicans!" I want to know what are the positives and negatives of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, not just Mexicans, but the millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, if they are not in this country anymore. What would the effects be? Are illegal immigrants necessary or not? Have they contributed in a way but we are too blind to see it? What would the be socioeconomic factors? How would it affect America overall? How would America change for the better or worse? How would it affect us short-term and long-term?
Illegals in California cost each citizen an average of $1200/yr and 1/10 workers are illegal. How many more should we allow in?
A lot more. If $1200 is an average, that’s less than pocket change (a $100 per month?) is no big deal.Keep in mind many of them have worked at a lot of jobs other people will not work at. Too many people have fallen into the false idea that Immigrants take away good jobs ALL the time. Look at how many businesses have left this country, that has created vast unemployment more than Immigrants that are willing to work at jobs others don’t want.A lot of false statistics are out trying to push an agenda of anti immigration and it’s mostly BS that big business and certain Politicians use to justify their info that it’s immigrants causing the problems. Check out Carrier, Walmart, and many others that are laying off many employees now, most are not immigrants.
Will Trump follow through on his idea to move illegal aliens to sanctuary cities?
The democrats have put Tump in an impossible position. He cannot hold them at the border. He cannot keep releasing them into border communities. Any choice he makes will generate backlash from impacted communities who must take on the cost and burden of having large numbers of poor, unemployed people. Any action he takes will be created harshly by the democrats.They set up this whole situation by encouraging tens of thousands of people to come north. They knew it would create an impossible situation that they could take advantage of (politically). So now they are waiting for the punch line where they get to skewer Trump like they have done every day for two years.This will backfire. At the end of the day, everyone knows that the democrats have encouraged and wanted the system to be overwhelmed. They only care about the political result, not the people or the communities who will absorb them. They are willing to use tens of thousands of people as pawns in the game. People are fed up with this and will remember who fed the fires and refused to vote for border security and DACA. In Nov. 2020, moderates of both parties will put extremists in their place. Out of office.I agree that they should all be sent to sanctuary cities and the rest of us can witness the continued meltdown of USA’s once-great cities on the east and west coast. Trump will get criticized any way he moves. So, why not put it back in their face?
Should the Census Bureau count illegal immigrants?
It would be far better to send the people who are breaking the laws back home and then they can return when they do it legally. I am sick and tired of providing all kinds of benefits for illegals when I can't afford them for my own family. The latest news, as of today, is that the Dems are pushing for new amnesty laws which will provide illegals with the right to bring ALL of their relatives here, they will be permitted to get student loans and lower rates for country colleges, among all the other very expensive benefit packages that they are willing to offer at our expense!! This is insanity!! Illegals are law breakers and need to go home. We are paying so much to educate and provide for them. I am not heartless but, they should not be permitted to break the law. I am all for legal immigration. Why should these people be permitted to jump ahead of those who are abiding by the law in order to come here? Don't count them; send them back.
Do you believe the WHITEHOUSE UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES?
According to the Department of Labor Statistics own records, we add nearly 2 million citizens to the workforce each year from high schools and colleges. According to their charts, (private sector, age 16 and up, not seasonally adjusted) we added nearly 18 million new jobs from 1992 until 2000... since 2000 we lost nearly 4 million, then added about 7 million back by the end of 2006 for a NET of about 3 million new jobs in 6 years. During this same period from 2000 to the present they estimate that we have added 3 million illegal invaders per year, which would indicate that about 28 million people are without jobs THAT ARE BEING COUNTED. How can we possibly have 4% unemployment?
