How so? Flooding the country with millions of undereducated aliens who have little to no employable skills will only add millions more people needing to draw on limited social program resources. What's the plan to offset the additional government expense? Rationing? What?

These people are not the movers and shakers to the economies in the countries they are leaving, and yet the liberal Utopian mindset envisions that they will be economic dynamos once they sneak across the US border. Sorry, maybe a few of them will be business owners, doctors etc... in a couple generations, but as of now, they are just wards of the state.

Karl Marx, is that you?

That was tried in Russia. The result was that tens of millions were murdered by their own government.

You were saying?
What's your fair share? What's your effective tax rate? Let's apply that to everyone. Then everyone will be paying their fair share.

So, Bob-

I am sure that you have already sent your $20K check into the feds "for the children".

Tell me................... what benefits would you like to cut for American citizens to pay "for the children" in the absence of liberals actually paying for the care of these people themselves?

Ask a liberal to sacrifice a dime of their own money and you will see how shallow thier convictions really are.

Like Pavlov dogs.

Stimulus: False assertion

Odd as liberals always tell us it is others problems. Now it becomes OUR problem and all is well. Just pure insanity.

Funny all those "children" knew where to buy USA t-shirts Why are they allowing these "children" to have tattoos in their countries at such a young age. Some may be "children" many are NOT! Lies of Obama!

Sounds like the Dems don't even care for their own people they need others to VOTE for them. Looks like the Dems are selling out the very people who voted them in.
