What Do They See In America?

[TemplarKormac]

I just thought of something. Is it because America is exceptional that those immigrants are coming here in the first place? So, what do they see in America that Obama doesn't? It's sad that foreigners and illegal aliens have more pride in America that the President does right now. Frankly, they see more promise in this nation than Obama does.

Think about that one, long and hard.

freebies, that's what they see.

What againsheila said. Plus..much as we gripe and complain....who would want to live anywhere else???

 

[TemplarKormac]

Freebies is right, in part. But some of them are coming here for a better life. We should be flattered that some of them still see us in that light. They only wind up making life harder on themselves by coming here illegally though.

 

[Katzndogz]

They see free stuff. Lots of free stuff and a people largely trained not to defend themselves.

The Drug Wars have killed nearly 100,000 in Mexico, Central and South America in a little over a decade.

Sex drugs and rock and roll.

Naw, many illegals have friends and extended family members here who teach them how to game our system.

What Do They See In America?

We have a giant economy and an open border. Carry on.

 

[Zoom-boing]

Running from their country to the U.S. on a one-way train, freebies when they step off, no one sending them back ever.

If I were them I'd do likewise.

“They are learning if you make your way to the border now you are literally going to have a free pass into the United States,” Burton told McFarland.

 

[B. Kidd]

A growing welfare state with open borders, hell, what could go wrong?

 

[Mathbud1]

freebies, that's what they see.

Freebies and the ability to vote for more freebies.

 

[Mathbud1]

Sorry I should have said the path-to-amnesty-and-citizenship-future ability to vote for more freebies.

So, they have the wrong view of America then. Perhaps if they wanted a better life they would come here legally. Who, then, is responsible for instilling such a view?

 

[Gracie]

They also come here to get jobs and send the money back home...and they can, since they don't pay taxes and are not in the books. Once enough funds are sent home, they urge family to come join them and it starts all over again.

Most of the legals that did go the longer and harder route to become citizens speak out AGAINST the illegals. And as usual..since they are now citizens themselves, their voices are not heard either.

So who is responsible for instilling such a view?

The media!

 

[Plasmaball]
