Healthcare Gone Wild

[me]

Actually, no since there will be so many baby boomers all retiring at about the same time, there will not be enough people paying into the system to cover them all.  Had you been paying attention to the looming crisis over Social Security and Medicare, you would already know these things.

Uh, yeah, they aren't because they aren't eligible but I do applaud you for not only illustrating your ignorance but your racism as well, all within the same sentence!  Bravo!  I think you'll find, if you were at all willing to do any research, that most illegals here use other people's social security numbers so not only can they not collect the imaginary benefits you mention, they're actually paying into accounts that legal residents get credit for.

So you're telling me they aren't getting free medical care, food stamps, and housing at a discounted rate or free?

Me, I will share with you,.....Illegal immigrants have and do receive grants, loans, disability, public housing, college educations, food stamps, WIC, unemployment benefits, and tax credits from state and federal agencies....this isn't a mystery...some people on here like to pretend they know more than everyone, but this is a fact.  It cannot be disputed.

My whole problem is this.......the term..."Illegal".  Nearly every civilized nation on this earth has laws regarding immigration.  If you do not follow the rules set up by these nations, you are required to leave.  But, liberals seem to think it is okay.  The only logical explanation would be they WANT their vote.  Common knowledge says you don't bite the hands that feed you........so??

While I am on it, the Trump admin, is ONLY targeting "illegals" that have committed felonies.  But, the fake news is telling us that they are sending Nanny's and housekeepers away by the truck loads.

Btw, Obama sent nearly 400,000 in 2013 and you didn't see ONE riot or protest. NOT ONE news agency had much to say...........it is all POLITICAL THEATER!!

The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, that provides assistance with cash, food, housing and health care bars unauthorized immigrants from drawing benefits.  We do provide schooling for their children but most of them work and pay taxes so that's pretty much a wash.

Are there any subjects about which you aren't completely ignorant?

[Locutus]

So far we have:

1. FICA
2. Immigration
3. Grape Growing in England
4. The Farm Bill
5. Sand Monument to Obama at the DNC in Charlotte.



..and those are just a few that I can remember.

So how are these thousands of illegals coming now making it if we're not helping them?

You claimed that the Republicans had passed a Farm Bill when, in fact, they had not.

They work?

You're telling me those who cross the border illegally get jobs immediatly even though there may be hundreds at a time? You really need to go buy some property in one of the border towns in Texas and see what that's really all about.

That's exactly what I'm telling you.  There are networks of these people and they know which farms have crops that are due to be picked and when.

You really need to go buy some property in one of the border towns in Texas and see what that's really all about.

What makes you think most of the people coming across the border end up in Texas?  What's there that they want as opposed to somewhere like California where there's migrant farm work to be had?  And have you ever owned property in one of the border towns in Texas and if not how would you know what it's really all about?

[Exterminator]

Look, it's already been proven to you that there is a federal law on the books that bars illegal immigrants from collecting the benefits you are trying to say they all come here to get.  Why not just admit that you have no idea what you're talking about and STFU already?

I say Texas 'cause you'd get a big dose of reality handed to you in one of those smaller border towns or out in the middle of nowhere on one of the ranches.

Oh, c'mon!

You're just repeating blather you've gotten from Fux, BiteBat, and Alex Jones.

You're not kidding anybody.   

[Exterminator]

She has probably never even been to Texas...and I've actually crossed the border there...more than once.

[Y]

I'm just aghast that the Repugs are continually against national health care.

What advanced society wouldn't consider that as a necessary, and integral, part of taking care of the citizenry?
