Since Democrats are self proclaimed “numbers people”...you know, with all their polls, budget and tax reduction concerns and what not....I can’t help but wonder how it all adds up for them.
Do Democratsfiel think 2+2=5?
Report: More than half of immigrants on welfare
Roughly 44 Percent Of Latino Males Get Arrested By Age 23, Study Shows
How stupid. This is not about "immigrants". This is about so-called "dreamers", that is the children bought here by their immigrant parents. They were not born here, but they have been raised here.
Now, let me educate you. These individuals must be under the age of 31. They must have lived in the United States since June 15, 2007. In order to be part of DACA they have to file paperwork with the federal government showing that they are either in school, have graduated from high school or have a GED. or that they have been honorably discharged from the US Armed Forces. That they have never been convicted of a felony or significant misdemeanor, that they have less than three minor misdemeanor convictions. (Jaywalk three times and your out)
There are about 700,000 dreamers. Almost a thousand are CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE US MILITARY. Hard to claim one respects the military when you want to kick some of those serving out of the country isn't it? Almost three out of four of these "dreamers" are enrolled in an institution of higher education. Over nine out of ten are working. Their average wage is, now check this out, $17.46 an hour.
When you look at those numbers it is pretty easy to figure out why Republicans want them out. The number of "real" Americans working fulltime between the age of 21-34 is just over seventy percent. The average wage of those with just a high school education is less than $15.00 an hour. Those Republicans know that their young adult child that lives in their basement and spends more time playing video games than working can't possibly compete with those dreamers.
But hey, if you want them gone I am willing to support it. I just want everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, under the age of 31 to meet the very same requirements as the dreamers. Felony conviction, deport them. High school dropout, deport them. Three misdemeanor convictions, deport them. And I would take it a step further. If they are over 21 and not enrolled in college they damn sure better have a job. If they don't, deport them. Because if we are going to deport these dreamers then we should use the opportunity to get rid of some of the dead weight around here. And make no mistake about it, if a young adult is still living with mommy and daddy, refuses to get a job, and spending all his time playing Call of Duty, he is DEAD WEIGHT.
