There Is Money In Population

No it was built on Legal, controlled immigration before we became a welfare state attracting people who want to come here for those benefits.

Different world.

Big business supports open borders/globalization and their lobbyists have deep pockets…:man_shrugging:

Your statement basically confirms to all of us here that you don’t have a clue about what the economy on a global level is actually doing!

The borders have been porous their entire existence, enforcement has been token regardless of which party is in power and Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million. Corporations are dependent on illegal labor, they smuggle it in, help with falsifying documentation, Trump’s own companies benefit from it…All efforts against it are token…

Reagan granted amnesty for two reasons.

One, the unfunded mandates to provide them services put on states by the federal gov’t.

Two, the promise by Tip O’Neal that in the next budget they would provide enough funding to secure the border.

Reagan’s biggest fault was trusting Democrats to keep their word.

Of course you have no way of proving that…:roll_eyes:

The whole purpose of the poem was to create a fundraising drive for the statue.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”[11]

NOTICE: “gates” and “doors”

The poem was written and statue built at a time when US immigration was tightly regulated.

They seem to forget that.

That’s the endgame of the left. Once the impoverished class outnumbers the middle class then the big government liberals will have absolute power. At that point they will then be able to tax completely out of existence.

If you understand who these people are, where they came from, why they do what they do, and why they feel they have the right to do what they do, you begin to get a clear picture of what is going on. These are the same people who moved our factories to China putting millions of Americans out of work and forcing Americans to buy products we do not make. Supposedly President Kennedy said this “There is plot afloat in this country to enslave every man, woman, and child, and before I leave this high and honorable office I am going to expose it.” Some say he never said it, some say he did, but whether he said it or not the statement is true. And seven days after President Kennedy supposedly said it he was murdered. These same murderers murdered Oswald, Kennedy, and police officer Tibit (Not sure that name is the right spelling). These people will do anything, kill anyone, or say anything to achieve their purposes. Their time in hell will be long.

Their time in hell, they will belong!

They already do, roughly 47% of Americans have a net zero or net negative tax liability at the end of the year.

Even if we’re generous and consider the top 10% as being Rich, that only leaves 33% in the middle.

Hence the sudden shift with Democrats going all out with the socialist menu this year.

Corporations moved manufacturing to China to take advantage of new status between the US and China and very cheap labor. The owners of those corporations and members of the corporations (shareholders) come from all walks of life.

Trumps a 47%er

You might remember his bragging about not paying any taxes and how smart that makes him.

If you have the resources to employ accountants to reduce your tax liability, what is dumb about that!!! If I was in that income bracket,I would do the same. The government receives too much money for them to waste.is there anything wrong with keeping as much of your money as possible???
He is smart for doing it. How much does Warren Buffett pay or not pay in income tax??? Is he dumb if he pays no income tax. He sure doesn’t go to H&R Block!!!
If people don’t like the tax code,they can bitch at their Reps and Sens to change it.
Believe me ,if I hit for big money in the Powerball Lottery, I would have a legion of accountants. The government taking 35% is robbery without a gun.

Or you can simply educate yourself on how to do it! Just depends if you are self employed or work for someone else. (See BVI)
