This would hasten the day when we rid ourselves of the curse of the most selfish generation in the history of humanity - boomers. In their place we would have fine, strong, Hispanic immigrants who are not afraid of hard work and ask for little other than opportunity - like the boomers parents and the generations before.
Get out of the way? What does that mean? They shouldn't be able to vote and express their views as citizens of this country? Where are you getting that all or even most of the elderly have right wing views? My mother-in-law and her sister are both adamant Democrats. My mother-in-law is 90 years old! What makes you think that a leftist view is commendable but a right wing one is not? You're opinion so that makes it right?

Just let them die? They are selfish? What a despicable, hate-filled piece of work you are. Gee, it wouldn't have anything to do with the majority of the elderly being white, would it? You make be sick! Welcome to my ignore list.

Looks like someone doesn't understand that FICA deductions are based on salary, not number of folks contributing.

I guess when you don't contribute, you don't realize these simple things.

He sounds like he is taking about cattle, not people.
I don't think it's possible to be politically aware and not know that. That would be kinda like not knowing Sarah Palin has a baby with Downs.

Hey, that works for me. That young fella has a place in politics. He's getting an awfully slow start, though.

The fertility rate in the United States is 2.01
The fertility rate in Mexico is 2.32

Fertility rate is defined as the number of children already born to women ages 15-44.

If we don't have immigration and more babies born in the U.S. we will start losing population in a few decades.

Look at Japan and Western European countries that do not have immigration for examples.

Do you think Jeb's respect of South Americans came from being around his Mexican born wife,

or is Jeb trying to bring in low wage corporate workers?

Some people are more interested about political issues than about the bloodlines of ex-governors spouses. I don't give a rats ass where Jebs wife was born.

I dont' know. He seems to flip flop all over the place on the issue. First he says he supports path to citizenship, then he says he does not support it and then he says he supports is under the right circumstances, and now he sees potential profit in the fertility rates of immigrants, apparently in an effort to support the reform again.

Instead of bringing in millions of very impoverished uneduchaated immigrants that have sky high birth rates but require Medicaid, food stamps and will get EITC, why not make it easier for the American middle class to have children?

Slash taxes, cut government spending and let jobs go to Americans so that Americans will not be always in such a financial pinch and those who want more children can afford them.
