I imagine some of you greedy types sit in your recliners with a shotgun thinking to yourselves, you’re not taking anything from me!
I don't have a gun but is there a specific model of shotgun you had in mind?

and to be clear, it's not Trump that wants to send them back, it's a good chuck of American populace that wants to send them back. We have bigger issues at hand than healing the sick kids of the world.

Just the ones that don't care about dying kids.

Send them back and disincentivize them from coming by eliminating the pull factors. I'm sure each of these liberals is willing to open their houses up to a family with sick children and/or pay more in taxes - oh wait, they're complaining now that they are actually paying their fair share now that they can't take as much in SALT deductions.

No, reps don't care about American children either. Just recently there was a post about free lunches in schools and the reps wanted to stop all free lunches. Yes, it's true that bleeding heart liberals don't want children to go hungry or die without medical care.

They've got a history of saying things along the lines of Christians being stupid people that believe in mythical beings so, I think that my taking it as a bigoted religious swipe (a common trope around these types of discussions) is an accurate portrayal of them.

Nah, some religious people only care about others when it's convenient or doesn't cost them anything.

The US cannot provide free healthcare to everyone in the world, as resources are limited.


From the same standpoint, why doesn't China or Europe provide the free healthcare for the rest of the world.
We could use the money that we pay to have our military stationed all over the world and that we use to pay to other countries. We'd have plenty then.

I love that idea! Let's create an "Adopt a Sick Foreign Kid" campaign in which the adopting families take care and pay for all medical bills of these kids. Let's see how many bleeding hearts put their money where their mouths are! Let's privatize the entire plan and for once, just once, don't expect the US Govt to bail you out.


Expected outcome? Even the most die hard liberal quickly loses interest....crickets!!

I have an idea. Let's keep all the money that we give to foreign governments and to those who house our military all over the world.
