We could have that, and all kinds of social programs in this country.

If we didn't invite literally everyone in the world to move over here and start getting them.

You get one or the other. Immigration, or social programs.

You don't get both.

Nowhere have you ever gotten both.

In fact usually where you get it there is a major reduction in total population.

Such absolute nonsense.

This is America the country was built from immigration. This country is a melting pot of different cultures.

We did thrive because of our acceptance. Every country knows of the freedoms and opportunity in America.

America has had immigration and social programs since its conception. We are the richest nation in the world and its people insist on just making the insanely rich that much richer.

The right has it engraved in their heads that if they haven't worked for it then they don't deserve it. That it is socialism if we ever go back to the early 1940s, where the top marginal tax rate for the wealthiest Americans reached as high as 94%.

This nation's nationalism and military/local institutional family structure is sickening at times. Europe and may other countries quickly learned this is just a formula for those that love extremism.

The distain in America seems to be regulated to Latina American countries.
I just see this as no different from the distain for the Irish or Chinese early in America's history.

To much of a culture shock to those who didn't grow up with acceptance.

It is too bad.
