Immigration Reform

people are going to have to accept the fact that open borders and the welfare state do not mix, you have to choose, one or the other but not both
 
Solid statement after the arrest of a man that’s given more to this country than you ever have.

Immigration officials arrested Syed Ahmed Jamal in his Lawrence front yard on Jan. 24 while he was taking his daughter to school.

The 7th-grade girl ran into the house to alert her mother and brother, while Jamal, a chemist, was handcuffed and led into a car. When his wife tried to hug him, an agent said she could be charged with interfering in an arrest, said son Taseen Jamal, 14.

Good fucking grief. I hope that was a response about immigration in general and not about the article about the deportation of a soldier.

Although that segment was not kumbaya stuff by any means (some of the comments made by the dudes in the MAGA hats were deplorable), I give props to Kimmel for using his show to discuss a lot of important issues. I'm sure ABC was wary at first but I think it's good for society to see someone other than a cable news pundit or the political class foster dialogue about some tough topics.

for the 12 millionth time, undocumented immigrants in the US are not eligible for welfare, medicare, medicaid, social security or much of anything else that makes up the "welfare state" - but they do often pay into the medicare and social security systems through payroll taxes. Maybe some countries over where sailor lives have different policies.
 
not to mention that the undocumented workers keep your fat asses fed and your messes cleaned up as cheaply as ever before, you tick turds
 
Heard a story on NPR about home workers getting deported and leaving elderly without care.
 
ICE Set To Deport Undocumented Father Whose 5-Year-Old Son Is Battling Cancer

On Thursday, ICE denied an extension to remain in the U.S. for 30-year-old Jesus Berrones, who lives in Arizona with his pregnant wife and five children. The immigration agency ordered Berrones to appear on Monday to be deported, according to his lawyer Garrett Wilkes.

Last year, under the new Trump administration, Berrones went to ICE to refile a stay, and officials told him it was not necessary because he was no longer a deportation priority, Wilkes said. But in January, Berrones got a notice from ICE that he would be deported. The lawyer filed another request for a stay, but it was recently denied.

Berrones’ 5-year-old son has been battling leukemia since 2016 and is undergoing chemotherapy. Berrones is the family’s sole breadwinner.

Trump administration may target immigrants who use food aid, other benefits

The Department of Homeland Security has drafted rules seen by Reuters that would allow immigration officers to scrutinize a potential immigrant’s use of certain taxpayer-funded public benefits to determine if they could become a public burden.

For example, U.S. officials could look at whether the applicant has enrolled a child in government pre-school programs or received subsidies for utility bills or health insurance premiums.

The draft rules are a sharp departure from current guidelines, which have been in place since 1999 and specifically bar authorities from considering such non-cash benefits in deciding a person’s eligibility to immigrate to the United States or stay in the country.
