True. We give the wealthiest Americans more tax breaks at the expense of the middle and lower classes. We are told that wealth will "trickle down" to the common people but it never does. Yet, everyone still believes it will because they have warm fuzzy feelings about Ronald Reagan and his "morning in America" Presidency.

China is a whole different ball game, it is a country with a billion people and only about 400 million of them being in the middle class so the rest of them are those poor beggars. obviously the rich country with only 300 million people can just let some people in, not that big of a deal.

Are you speaking from personal experiences you have with immigrants from these "less civilised" places? i can assure you these people tend to integrate into American culture quite quickly and can hold a good life here.

I mean they both can, immigrants and americans already work together in the current working class demographic, we'll just have to continue that trend.

Yes I'm speaking from experience and no most of the third worlders do not fully integrate. I wouldn't care if they did although it would be better. I don't want all these unaesthetic and incompatible foreign people coming here regardless. I wouldn't even want so many, 1 million to 2 million immigrants and illegals/year, if they were all from Britain and as compatible as can be.

We are trillions in debt and we already let "some" people in. At least China's beggars are their own beggars.

You must not get out much. Many "immigrants" don't integrate into our society. I'm concerned about Americans having a good life first and once that's accomplished then we can consider giving a good life to more immigrants.

If new construction jobs open up Americans should get first dibs at them especially since illegal alien stole so many of those jobs from them already.

A newbie in here putting "immigrants" first. Hmm.

Yes, except that we don't do both and haven't done both, so call me a skeptic, but Ill believe it when I see it. So you say we can do both? Prove it, but a better idea is to first take care of our own and then worry about others.

Shame on any politician who is making illegal immigrants a priority.

Did you even read what you posted? You are claiming 1,000 visas were denied last year and now it is over 37,000. That is ridiculous.

If you do a big enough infrastructure plan you can easily have enough jobs for immigrants and americans, every country is in debt and at the moment the economy is not the worst. most americans are getting off quite fine, we can double down start a construction boom with a infrastructure bill , let in plenty of refugees and we can all live very well. however we will have to make big cuts to the defence budget.

Who says we have enough money for big infrastructure jobs? You aren't getting the point at all. What I said is that Americans should get dibs on those job first. There will be enough Americans to take those jobs so that leaves immigrants and asylum seekers out! Doesn't matter if many or most Americans are doing fine we are still trillions in debt!

We don't need plenty of immigrants or refugees for anything. Re-read my prior posts as to why and the negative impact it has on our society allowing so many of them in. I'm tired of repeating myself while you still falsely claim that we need these foreigners. What makes you think we can make big cuts to our defense budget? We are already diverting funds from that budget to build the wall on our southern border.

So your idea, of reaching out to everyone in the world is to import them all into our country? WTH?
