Time for the US to tighten it's belt on social spending, and the easiest way to do that is to expel non-productive non-US citizens. We have to look after our own first.

You know that Hitler misdirected rage about the economy towards minorities too...right?  Do you really think immigrants were responsible for anything that happened or will have a material impact on recovery?  Or is this just an excuse you are using to advance an anti-immigrant policy?

 

 

 I said non-productive non-US citizens. Those that consume more in government services then what they pay back through taxes. They are a net drain on our resources. The US is obligated to look after it's own citizens first. When economic times are good, we can affor to be more charitable.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
