Want a Real Anti-Poverty Plan? Stop Amnesty!


The author of this article believes that stopping amnesty will help us fight poverty. Do you agree with such a view? Are our two parties both sold out?

So much logic, you know the author does not live in D.C.

The United States is wealthy enough to tackle both. And, before the 113th Congress, I thought it was smart and competent enough to do both at the same time. It's all about priorities.

No conservative can talk about real solutions to poverty when you want to cut food stamps, block grant social services, and limit economic spending in poor areas. You can't have it both ways -- being against immigration and amnesty doesn't mean you believe helping the rest of us struggling Americans; you're just using it as a talking point.

If anybody in congress or even the president was forced to read that article, they'd start rattling off their party line positions, then the media starts spreading that garbage. "Jobs for Americans are going to start pouring in because Americans are opening up more businesses, that there's jobs for everyone, they're doing the work Americans don't want to do", blah blah blah.

I'm sick of all of the garbage they're spewing. They believe if they say it often enough it becomes truth.

They're just trying to brainwash us all.

Bottom line is, the sooner they round up and start returning every last illegal alien scoundrel, the more jobs Americans will have.

That's the only one truth, and that fact has always been the truth.

You think about all the billions spent to educate, provide healthcare and shelter for illegals and their children and families.

That money is what should have been used to help America's low income.

Just look up how many hospitals closed down in California in the early 2000's.
While you're at it, check how wages have been depressed or jobs disappeared.

Where's the money coming from for food stamps and who's it really going to. Look that up too.

What you don't seem to want to realize is that the ONLY GROUP in the corner of America's working poor are Republicans and conservatives, because the democrats are steadily hacking it away.

Don't have to look any of that up. I have a good idea how much all of that costs, and it isn't nearly the amount of other things the government spends on. It's priorities.

And again, who's say you will approve that the money that would go to the "working" poor? Conservatives don't really care about the working poor if you are object to cutting TANF and SNAP and rejecting calls to raise the EITC - programs designed to help the working poor.

Spare me this "we're wasting money on illegals" canard because of the working poor. You can help BOTH. People that care about everyone in our country know that.

No we can talk about, one of the best things we can do is STOP IMPORTING POVERTY INTO THIS NATION!

No we are helping, we are not importing people who will just talk more and give back less, who will take the few jobs out there..

How does adding millions of uneducated, unskilled, entitlement voters help this nation?
