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.

 

If that were true, the first thing the government should do is dismantle the military forces. As a whole the US military costs a shitton more than it generates for society. Nowadays a bunch of nuclears and a small task force is all is needed.

But hey, I forgot somewhat the concept of a fiscal blackhole such as the military forces is at the core of the republican beliefs. Guess someone has to lobby to keep hundreds of thousands of people on the government payroll.
