The thing is, asylum is when a catastrophe happens (war included). It isn't the case for america/europe asylum seekers. Most of them are running away because economic reasons.

I mean, my situation in spain is awful. i work 60+h/week and i barely pay the rent. Should i seek american asylum? because i cannit. What if i were homeless and with cancer? should i go to america to get the best doctors to treat me and to get a nice home and a nice job? nope, i had to fix it myself in this country.(and thank god here we have free healthcare).

If you open your borders to immigration i want a piece of cake too. I want the american freedom and the american dream.

Anyone else think the point of the concentration camps down south is as a time bomb for about two decades from now?

We're generating emotionally and psychologically damaged kids by the thousands, and we're keeping them here instead of deporting them. In public, sure, Republicans will talk about deportation, but none of those deportations are happening. Why?

It's a political tool. These kids will grow up, emotionally and psychologically damaged, and will likely not become functional members of society. Sure, some, or potentially even most, will be somewhat functional. However, a good percentage of them will not adjust to life in the country where they were imprisoned for their formative years. They will be anti-social. They will resent what was done to them.

And they will likely be criminals.

This is a future crime wave perpetrated by Mexican immigrants being engineered by republicans, who desperately need new people to join their party. Fear of black people has been played out, now we need fear of brown people. What better way than to create a large group of emotionally damaged people that will spend their 20s committing violent crimes?

This is why deportations are down from the Obama years. donald and the GOP are deporting fewer people because they need them here. They need a future scapegoat.

also, why do you insist that migrants are coming to america to drain someones bank account?

welfare programs are in place to help people less fortunate than others. 

helping others seems to piss you off.

Can't get welfare if you're illegal. And if you get welfare as a non-citizen legal resident, then you can kiss any chance of citizenship goodbye. Using welfare is a disqualifying factor for citizenship.

You're right, qman. We don't;t help the less fortunate. We help the people that put them there. The same people that want globalization keep getting welfare payments. donald's tax scam is a prime example. Another great example would be those ICE raids the other day. You know hiring illegals is a crime with a fine of 5k per person, right? I wonder why none of those employers got arrested during the raids. But all those illegal workers that just won a settlement for bad working conditions? They're gone.

Poor Americans are gonna stay poor until they realize that nobody gives a fuck about them, especially Republicans.
