Wait a minute, aren't you guys claiming that people come here to get the welfare?
That's pretty socialist.
Yes they do, from the south. We have a higher percentage of LEGAL immigrants on welfare than native born Americans themselves. As for the illegals, their children are on our social programs which the adults benefit from as well, but technically, the illegal adults are not allowed on our welfare programs.
As for the others, they came here to become something they couldn't in their native country. Take my beverage store owner for instance. He came here from India with a few bucks in his pocket. He busted his ass, learned the language, and when he saved up enough money, bought his own store. After making that a success, he became a landlord on the side. About five years ago, he bought a hotel by the truck stops at two intersecting major highways. His wife had to quit working at the beverage store to run that.
In spite of their success, they are still busting their ass. His wife stopped by for a visit at the store last week, and by chance, I happen to be going there. She said it's non-stop work from the time she gets up until the time she leaves. Like many employers, she's having a hell of a time finding and keeping workers. So her husband very frequently leaves the store for his workers to run to help her.
Foreigners from another country that found the American dream. Yes, it's 12/7 work, but they did something the minorities in our country couldn't take the first step into doing.
Um, no, I was active duty. So you'd be wrong again.
And, yeah, that kind of should give me more of a say.
Do you enjoy being wrong so much?
Hey.......I'm just going by what you told me. You were a weekend warrior, and that's about it.
But no, you don't have anymore say. You get one vote just like any other American in this country.
