You need to attribute that cut-and-paste.

I don’t know if I can. One of the sources another poster took me to, locked up my computer and I started over.

Guilds:

When it comes to bible quote, I prefer the words of Jesus. Paul was an ass. Great at marketing, but he really screwed up Jesus’ message. (see Matthew 25)

As far as if one receives a state supported existence, they are not allowed to procreate, it would be pretty hard to enforce.

“Here is your check. Wait, you got pregnant? No soup for you, or your kids!”

I do agree there should be some sort of accountability. But I think you have taken it too far.

I cringe when I see someone trying to make the teachings of say Jesus and Paul oppose each other to support what they personally choose to believe.

Jesus and Paul were not in opposition to each other.

As reflechissez requested, who actually wrote that? I know it was not you.

I would question some of the assertions made, to see the source.

Still does not dispute what i have been asserting.

I got this from my history but I can’t edit my post but my source was Tufts University.

Do Undocumented Immigrants Overuse Government Benefits? | Econofact

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for most benefits. Many have dependent children or a spouse who are U.S. citizens and may qualify for benefits.

Guilds · 2018-05-13T22:47:30.019Z

Did you read the summary?

What this Means:
Despite scapegoating in public discourse, the drain that undocumented immigrants place on government benefit programs is small. The number of low-income undocumented immigrants is small relative to the size of the overall low-income population, and federal law restricts their participation in most programs. Because so little federal assistance is available, some states and localities bear a disproportionate burden. As enforcement efforts become more aggressive, it is expected that undocumented immigrants will be less likely to access public programs on behalf of their children who, as citizens, are legally eligible for these benefits.

We don’t have an accurate count. Are you kidding me? We’re about to have a census and the answer to this very question is being fought hard by liberals whether or not to have the question on the census.

Guilds · 2018-05-13T22:53:50.152Z

And why do you think that is?

wiley8425 · 2018-05-13T22:57:11.548Z

Unlimited no. But when you have companies with profit margins in the billions paying workers minimum wage, obviously, they can afford to pay their workers more than minimum wage. Unless you think every company needs to keep their profit margins as high as possible all the time, regardless of whose pockets those profits end up in.

I was showing you that illegals are in government assistance programs which was being asserted that this was impossible. As far as how bad is the problem and why don’t we even have an accurate basis…because both sides of the aisle have wanted it that way.

Guilds · 2018-05-13T23:08:32.962Z

Undocumented kids do get some assistance… food, health care, education.

Are you asserting we should not provide these basic things?

We are a nation of immigrants. It is what makes us great.

It would be a good thing for our reps to do their job, and update the immigration processes.

We need them, and they provide way more overall benefits in the long run.

wiley8425 · 2018-05-13T23:10:15.761Z

Right. They can’t vote either. Except in states where they can. Like California. Non-citizens to start voting in California

That’s because San Francisco in 2016 passed the local Proposition N, allowing non-citizens to vote in school board elections regardless of their immigration status. The idea received 54-46 percent backing in that city, which in this century has also pioneered concepts like same-sex marriage and universal health care.

Non-citizens will vote legally for the first time in November, and can continue participating in school board elections for at least the next four years.

Guilds · 2018-05-14T14:26:21.876Z

Looks like this is something that was done often on the past, allowing non-citizens vote in local elections.

As long as it it limited to local school board election, I really do not have a problem with it.
This is one of those small, local government scenarios cons are usually OK with, as long it is some thing they support.

Janet_Miller · 2018-05-14T15:16:46.062Z

If I’m not mistaken, non U S citizens have always had the right to vote in local elections, but never in Federal.

You’re mistaken.

Smyrna · 2018-05-15T00:30:52.666Z

Well this con doesn’t. They came here illegally and shouldn’t even be here…much less vote.

gooddad409 · 2018-05-16T19:03:20.610Z

They should be deported immediately instead of recieving assistance that could be going to US citizens.

Illegals and immigrants are 2 entirely different things. They are a drain on the country and that’s without figuring in the amount of needless crimes involved, even murder in many cases.

Our citizens will never get their relatives back.

Guilds · 2018-05-16T19:10:08.763Z

Do you consider yourself a Christian?

If so, you should reconsider.

gooddad409 · 2018-05-16T19:16:24.650Z

Yeah you are right. We should support illegals coming here and murdering our loved ones without a peep.

How the ■■■■ did you get that, out of what I typed?

How some con’s brains work is utterly baffling.
