Yeah, so because the wall can only stop 40-80%, what the hell, why stop any of them. Dumbass.
Good question. We've had an unparalelled expansion of our economy (which was already the world's strongest) when immigration (illegal and otherwise) really got going, we've had comparatively few problems with illegals compared to natives, and a great amount of non citizens have served with honor in our military service.
We can't have open borders but this jihad you guys have launched against brown people is really stupid.
Sure...they're all valedictorians.
No far from it. Some very bad people come across but by and large they have been a beneficial influence to the nation.
Horseshit. Immigrants have mostly been a bad influence on this country. Consider the mafia. They were all immigrants.
Immigrants had little opportunity to make money back in those days. As things got better, many of the people in those organizations were already in.......and there's only one way out.
Today people can come here and do okay if they learn a trade, get educated or start their own business. However many of the people from South-Central don't even want to learn the language. They don't have the will or energy as European immigrants had. Sure, they will work hard, but they will never become anything because manual labor doesn't pay anything anymore. Then they end up on some welfare program.
People from Ellis Island had more of a motivation to become Americans. They cut ties to their homeland instead of making money here and sending it back home. They felt blessed to be part of our country unlike these people from the south that feel coming here is something owed to them.
I was born in an immigrant community so I know the difference between the attitude of people back then and the people I see on the news today. It's a night and day difference.........and no, for you liberals reading this, it wasn't meant in a racial way.
