Immigrant haters are just awful people.
I'm a big fan of legal immigrants. We need more of them (people who actually went through a legal process to get here - not just snuck in and then were granted amnesty). I hink people who characterize anti-illegal immigration people as "immigrant haters" are just awful people.
I don't think you understand the whole brought here by your parents thingy.
Yeah, I understand the "brought here by their parents" and "shipped here by the parents" thingies. that doesn't change my mind. It incentivizes a lawless immigration system. But that's libtardism for ya, incentivize bad decisions and lawlessness, disincentivize good decisions.
i bet it's a great family story about how your ancestors got here.
I actually do have a pretty great family immigration story but for purposes of this discussion I'll just sum it up as "legally" and "before we were signing immigrants up for welfare."
I enjoy it when people proudly proclaim their ancestors came here legally when any white person could come here legally until the 1920's
You mean back before we had a population of 350mil and were signing everyone and their extended families up for welfare? Yeah, we could probably afford looser immigration back then. Not that immigration didn't have constraints even back then. You had to demonstrate a trade, and pass a medical screening. Immigrants with infectious disease were turned back all the time.
Illegal immigrants don't get welfare dumbass.
I suppose it depends upon how you define "welfare" and whether you are differentiating between what's supposed to happen and what actually happens. In reality, illegal immigrants receive plenty of public benefits, from education, healthcare, food, housing, cell phones, you name it. Pretty much any public benefit that's available is available to illegal immigrants, either legally or illegally. Funny thing is these illegal immigrants don't seem to have much qualms about whether they are legally entitled to certain benefits or not.
