So these welfare benefits are mostly households with American children in them. Things like free and reduced school lunch programs. It is an issue that does not have a clean solution. But what will not happen is the deportation of American children to countries of their parents birth. I advocate for a pathway to citizenship for those persons who have been resident for a period of five years and in good standing, meaning no criminal activity and good employment history.
Arnie and others make good points. It's wide reaching and requires a broad based solutions, most of them unpopular with both parties. There is border security and then there's the illegal immigrant problem, two separate issues. The border must have better security AND we must remove the carrots(plural)that attract all the illegals, AND we must find a more expeditious way to process people through the system. Right now we are stuck on the easiest part, improving border security. If we cannot even agree on that, how the hell do we make any progress on the much tougher and more complicated aspects? Hence the never ending DC circle jerk.
Yup, he fixed it so that the illegals figured they had a better chance of getting a job south of the border than here. Wayyy to go.
Wow, no criminal activity and good employment history. Three quarters of your party cannot even meet those requirements.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at something like this from a guy that defends Donald Trump 50 times a day.
He's uneducated and wears it proudly on here. I'm not sure in the information age how people stay that ignorant but an alarming number of Americans do it seems if this site is any indication. Not sure what is worse, these uneducated guys like TreeFrog or the psuedo intellectual types like Gwb_Trading or TJustice/Jem that lack common sense. I suspect the latter are more dangerous to the health of a nation ( e.g. Trump ). Reality and facts take a holiday far too much in current day US, superceded by overdone political themes and trying to "win" the internet or influence others. This is why the US despite it's resources continues to have mediocre social programs and far too much poverty and crime. Too much denial to tackle the problems and too much pride to even consider looking at what nations like Canada did decades ago successfully in certain areas like health care.
