Disgusting why would we want people like that in our country? They don't even care enough about their homeland to make it better. They won't learn english or otherwise assimilate and willl extend the cycle of poverty.
I never had an affinity for weak people.
Wrong, wrong
Immigrants learn English at the same rate as they always have and currently intermarry at higher rates. They tend to hold jobs and support their family and use less government assistance.
Right that's why down in san antonio they got billboards in Spanish?
Thats why over in Minneapolis they got billboards in Somali?
Have you heard of title 1 schools? ESL schools? Unisured healthcare, etc
Saying the same rate as always isn't really countering that the rate is terrible.
The rate is fine. You get to grow up and live in a country that is your native tongue. But go ahead and get judge about immigrants, it's an American tradition.
And if you have a better metric for assimilation than the one I offered feel free to post it.
I speak 3 languages, English, Spanish and German. So nice try. But you are right I grew up in a country in which I could speak the language. That's true of 99% of people. Albeit some grow up in countries that speak multiple languages.
Yes we are a nation of immigrants, however when my great great grandfather immigrated there were no social programs to help keep him and his family alive. It was sink or swim.
The rate is terrible, the poverty rates of non-english speakers is atrocious, but rightfully so, they are too lazy to learn English. Many of these people passed threw multiple countries that speak their language, they chose to go to onw that doesnt. That's foolish. Why don't you go live in the Netherlands? Apparently the quality of life is better over there.
My views on immigration are similar to how most of the world views it: only take the best and brightest, only take x amount.
Once you understand that internationally its anarchy and survival of the fittest cultures, you will understand that taking the weakest of the weak leads to disaster. It always does.
Why should my tax dollars, hard earned, go towards immigrants? They don't deserve my money.
Edit: you also wanna know the demographics in Texas that are most upset about the border crisis? Hispanics at the border: they've all gone cuban-Florida republican.
