Immigration Overpopulation

[Scarletprayers]

I live in a 70 year old home, I drive and 11 year old car, my furniture is either hand me downs or is as old as my children. I work every day, I may have to drop my health insurance because I can't afford it if it goes up again. I have a license and car insurance. I pay bills and give to charities and to people in need. I have alittle girl that I send money for every month. So I'm not living high on the hog or anything, so just how many other people am I supposed to take care of? And don't tell me anybody or everybody unless other than what you have to have to live on, do you give everything above that to help somebody??? If the government is going to take all of my money to help people out, then help all of the seniors that have to decided on paying their rent or buying their medicine, or the single mother who is working 2 jobs trying to keep a roof over her childrens head and food in their mouths because dad wont pay his child support, or clean up the projects where people are forced to live in filth and squalor because they can't get a job making much more than minimum wage, or well you get the drift of what I'm saying. There are enough Americans that need help, born bred and raised here, its their country, why don't they get all the freebies?

When one American doesn't have to do without anything they need, then I'll worry about the ones here that all of us are supporting by our tax dollars, so they can get free medical care and schooling. A better life, where is the American dream for the above Americans?

So what is your solution AK?

Just let every single person come here, regardless of their crimminal background?

Regardless of the strain it will put on our economy?

Regardless of the threat they pose to our national security?

My point isn't in giving free aid to illegal immigrants. I'm not necessarily for that. What I am for, however, is making it easier for immigrants to come to the US. Most Hispanics who come to America tend not to rely on Welfare or anything else...thus they end up contributing to the system without taking anything out of it. That's the beauty of immigrants - they work hard enough to sustain themselves, without any aid...or they work hard enough to become filthy rich, without any aid.

Just how many times have I spelled this out to you?

Not in this thread, but in other threads as well.

My idea for immigration reform is as follows:

To curb illegal immigration -

1) Build a wall across our southern border with towers every mile. The wall should be wide enough you can drive a jeep on it.

2) Authorize personnel on the wall to use force (rubber bullets) on anyone attempting to cross the wall

3) Remove all caps for immigration

4) If someone cannot afford the processing fees for citizenship, find a "scholarship" for them (all would be provided by private donations) or put it on loan - give them a worker's permit and after 6 months begin to deduct a certain amount from their paycheck to begin paying the fees

5) Lower the cost of becoming a citizen

6) Do a background check on every person

7) Require them to learn English

Why is all of that so wrong?

How can they hurt our national security or or economy? More workers into a system that is looking for more workers hurts us how? Also, I don't recall seeing "Hernandez" or any other Hispanic names on the 9-11 flights.
