As you, painting with your broad brush, would happily take all rights away from all Muslims. Seems y'all have a lot in common, eh?

They can be eligible for obamacare and subsidies so if you add up all the prisoners and foreign students you can make a case for an obamacare success.

record number of foreign students

Obamacare Q&A: Tax credits for international students?

Q. Since some non-citizens can receive premium tax credits to buy a health plan on the health insurance marketplace, does that mean that international students are also eligible for tax credits if their income is between 100 and 400 percent of the federal poverty level?
A. They may be. “Lawfully present” immigrants, including international students who are enrolled in a college or university in the United States and visiting scholars who are here teaching or conducting research, for example, may be eligible for subsidized coverage on the health insurance marketplaces.
In general, in order to qualify for subsidized marketplace coverage, international students’ income would have to be between 100 and 400 percent of the federal poverty level, as you noted ($11,490 to $45,960 for an individual in 2013). .......

The ones that are already here can stay. There is nothing that can be done about the ones that are already here. We don't need more though. They cause enough problems as it is! And it is THEM wanting to come to MY country. Not me wanting to go to theirs!

The mods are slashing at the thread now as it is getting off topic. I'll probably have to start my own thread soon more focusing on this topic. I'll focus on what happens when muslims gain demographic advantage and the human suffering that follows.

Holy crud! You own this country?

Hey everyone: when did we give the country to CravingMountains? Did anyone see that coming? I mean, I didn't even see a news article about this.

Wait, do you own all the land, the wealth AND the people? Do I work for you now? Can I keep my desk?

America also belongs to you. The people it doesn't belong to are these Muslim immigrants.

The elites of many (if not most) developing countries are educated in either the US or the UK. It’s a tremendous source of our influence and soft power. I went to high school (boarding school) and college with a large number of very wealthy Pakistanis and Arabs. What better way to liberalize those countries than showing them a different way of doing things?

Oh cool. Well if I'm in charge I'd be happy to let Muslims go to school here.
