This view of immigration is so alien to average Americans because the liberals in this country have made it seem as though immigration is just a basic human right in which all can engage. If you talk to people on the street they're under the assumption that we just have an open border world. They don't get that US policy toward immigration is what you outlined above. If you told them that they'd think you're racist and are peddling right wing nonsense!
Exactly, and I don't see the name callers demanding that every other country in the world have open borders or unlimited immigration and refugees. I guess we are the only country in the world that immigrants can migrate to?

Doesn't Canada have stricter immigration laws? Isn't there policy just like our stated policy only much more strict?
You didn't answer my question. Just who are these refugee groups that the Republicans supposedly object to that fit the description of those you described above?
Your Question:
Could you name them? Would they be a fiscal burden to our society? The devils in the details you know.

Very few are on the welfare roles--and irony is that the only locals that oppose their presence probably have more of a drain on our community than the immigrants. There are a lot of folks a couple of hundred miles to the North that have issues..but they don't live here..so screw 'em.
BTW..here in Twin we have an unemployment rate of about 2.9%.
LoL..as stated, your question is kinda difficult to answer...speaking anecdotally, I've seen many posts here that decry any legal immigration..but especially the settlement of refugees..Moslem or not... in the US.
Now if you are asking me for a Republican platform plank opposing Refugee's being settled in the US..not aware of any...but a quick survey of C-D shows me that there are many who would make the case that they also take American jobs...
I went back and read your post...and your question was about my knowing these people..refugees...and their status as to being a drain on society. Thus I believe my answer adequately addressed your question.

A question to older, non college-educated whites: why do the majority of you vote Republican?
None college educated and poor whites barely and sometimes don't vote majority Republican but whatever. I'm not non-college educated but I know them. For starters they didn't like all the low class immigrants Democrats vowed to allow in and the illegals taking their jobs and just being a pain in the ass to deal with as costumers in service sector jobs. They didn't like AFFH moving lots of bad people into their neighborhoods and being victims of crime.
Like any self respecting white person they didn't like being demonized, scapegoated and imposed upon in general by Democrats.
What do democrats offer any whites but insults and blame and vows to flood their country with people who hate them? Lower educated, lower income whites particularly males don't get affirmative action, welfare, are not consider diverse and have to work with and live around the dregs that Democrats favor and allow to immigrate in. Democrats basically spit on them and their country and heritage. Why would they vote for Democrats?
Whites who are a little older realize that Democrat favored policies and immigration have changed American and they don't like it. Why would anyone that had more freedom like having less? And diversity-basically foreigners from all over the world who do not like you brought in just to displace you- is no good.
So do libertarians. From the 99% to the donor class.
Regarding latinos, they flee plutocracy where a tiny super rich elite control the political system and the economy, so perhaps they prefer a more democratic system.
Slowing people to keep their own money ain't wealth redistribution.
The low unemployment rate is attributable to the opening of the large Chobani factory in Twin Falls.
It played a part, to be sure...but the new Cliff Bar plant..Jerome Cheese..Glambia..Spears Mfg. & HiLex Poly..all have played a part...plus the booming agribusiness in the area.
That's your dishonest opinion based on no facts whatsoever.
No it's not and you have no proof. Nothing worse than someone lying about others beliefs in order to deflect from the horrible and failed policies of the current administration.
Nah saying that latinos are looking for handouts and that's why Democrats want them here is absolute directly calling latinos grifters out to rip off America. That's bigotry.
I'd say the fact that this bigoted view is the most common one amongst conservatives towards latinos makes it an example of the core beliefs of conservatives.
Yeah I am really deflecting from the failure of the current administration by addressing the words of conservatives. Lol pure nonsense thinking.

My point was that the Republicans don't object to immigrants or refugees that will be a benefit to our country and not a threat to our society. If I remember correctly you claimed that the Republicans pretty much object to immigrants and refugees in general and that's simply not true.
