    Yes, they are. For the most part the black population are hard workers. They are trying to get out of the system. They want to better themselves. There are the few that find it easier to live off the system, sell drugs, be thugs, etc. This is the minority, but it's what makes the mainstream media. It's not what is representative of the culture as a whole.

    Typically, no. And I mean no disrespect, but this is how it happens. When a black woman comes to my unit thinking she is in labor, she is accompanied by a multitude of friends, family members and neighbors. When a Caucasian woman comes up to my department, she is accompanied by her spouse or significant other. Only one or two family members versus 15 or 20. Yes, 15 or 20.

    I'm happy to know that you think I sound better today, but in all actuality I am worse. To be brutally honest, not racist, I delivered a baby to an emergency cesarean section last night, father was there prior to the delivery but was nowhere to be found afterwards. Mom bled out, and almost died. Yes, she was black, and I saved her life. The thing that upsets me is that many of you listen to the mainstream media and make concrete decisions. Very few of you actually live what is going on. You can watch your media, whether it be FOXNEXS, MSNBC, CNN, etc. but until you actually live it... And I've lived it.

    Last I've heard Jeb doesn't have a very strong following inside the Republican circles.

    Most of what liberals complain about was brought down on them by their own liberal politicians...

    The major failing in Liberal philosophy is that its exactly like the instincts of crabs....You can have an open Bushed basket filled to the top....and none will ever rise and escape because the other crabs pull any that try back into the basket.

    Tal how big is the black youth you speak of couldn't be much more than 5% of the population, but in actual numbers that is a lot of people with nothing better to do. These and other poor groups are those who may never have a job because the jobs aren't there despite the allegation they must be there because the illegals keep coming. The illegals keep coming because they have nothing where they are and if you turn off the welfare tap they might stop coming excepting something is better than nothing. I'm guessing there are no farm jobs in the cities where the black youth are and plenty of people prepared to run a nice little sweat shop

    you think the millions of illegals here are doing farm work ? get a clue ,the bulk of them are settling in the urban areas ;especially where idiot progressives declare their towns 'sanctuary cities " . Like I said ,the lure here has to be either the jobs ,or the very generous welfare system . With the labor participation rate at historic lows it is absurd to suggest that we need more workers ;especially low skilled workers .

    Tom, how is it you have a welfare system that supports non-citizens? Don't these people have to satisfy visa, birth, or residency or other criteria? This is like shooting yourself in the foot. I understand the problem, we already have enough camel drivers, and we have a million camels, but you don't have any camels. You notice Tom I also spoke about sweat shops so I'm not foolish enough to think the jobs are agricultural, the more people you have the more construction you have, etc

    not my idea. Now you will hear that illegals don't qualify for welfare . This is true technically ;BUT our laws say that anyone born inside the country is an American citizen .So the children of illegal immigrants that are born in the United States are eligible for the full spread of government welfare benefits, including Social Security and Medicare.Now that these illegals have given birth to U.S. citizens, the families are eligible for benefits . Not only that ,but once the children are born ,it's impossible to deport the parents because that would mean separating parents from kids ,or deporting an American citizen also.

    Yes it is shooting ourselves in the foot with a cannon. This is why Trump has caught on .

    Yes they have moved on to jobs where someone could make a living in the trades . American employers are part of the problem there too . But we have to start by controlling the borders and ,enforcing 'E-Verify ' for all employment .

    Verify what? That they have a social security number? By your own words undoubtedly they will have or they are very recent arrivals. I can understand that once you wanted all these new arrivals, "give me your huddled masses" or something like that, but if you keep going like that there will be standing room only. No Trump is right bulld a big concrete fence it might keep 90% out and it will employ a lot of people, or you could just legalise drugs and take over the market, it would pay off your deficit quickly

    Hello again,

    You KNOW who Mark Fuhrman is, don't you??? He's the racist ex-cop who FOX News puts on all the time to opine about police relations with the black community... What's funny, is that NOBODY mentions that he's a VIRULENT racist. They listen to him with pinched noses and creased brows as though he's saying something IMPORTANT, as though they should LISTEN. It's as if they don't even KNOW he's a racist.. If they were fair and balanced, they'd have somebody like ME on pointing out that he's a RACIST BASTARD..

    This thread sounds like that to me..

    I'm a simple man. I BELIEVE we're all the same. If ONE group starts acting differently, BECAUSE we're all the same, the cause is EXTERNAL. It simply CAN'T be them, because we're all the same.. Therefore, if you point to THEM, or even SOME of them, as being the cause of their own problems, you're a racist.

    Anybody wanna say I'm wrong??

    the system is in place . all it takes is the will to enforce existing law, something the emperor has problems with in his rush to create law by executive fiat .

    The problem with illegals tapping into the social welfare system could easily be solved by changing the 'birthright ' provisions of the law. This comes from a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment . Under the amendment children of LEGAL immigration have automatic citizenship. The lawmakers who gave us Title III of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 expanded birthright to children of anyone born in the country . It is an absurd law ,and the only other country with such expansive definitions of citizenship is Canada. It is probably the biggest single cause of illegal immigration (not jobs as the narrative says ) .

    As I have discussed many times ;Simpson -Mazolli was one of those 'bipartisan deals you progressives love to talk about where your agenda gets priority in exchange for future obligations that amazingly never happen. In this case Amnesty came first on the promise of border security measures . Well we found out how good you guys are at keeping your end of the deal . Then you wonder why the Republicans are less inclined to make these type of deals again ? Because they don't want to end up like Charlie Brown .

    The House opposed it because of the lessons they learned from Simpson -Mazzoli . Here's the facts ;you will never get "comprehensive immigration reform " because we know your side is not trustworthy .Pass border security reform 1st then we'll talk .

    This is what Rubio said after his painful lesson ..“But what I’ve learned is you can’t even have a conversation about that until people believe and know—not just believe, but it’s proven to them—that future illegal immigration will be controlled. That is the single biggest lesson of the last two years.”

    Tom there is no way we would tolerate this shambolic form of government. I live in a place where parliamentary deadlock is common however the parties find a way to either negotiate the pass of legislation or abandon an unteniable position. We do have mechanisms for overcoming blockages and the party that controls the house controls the government.

    As far as illegals are concerned we have the position that if you are not supposed to be here you will be placed in detention and deported. This is not to say we don't have illegals, there are overstayers but you cannot just walk across the border or rock up and expect to be given entry. I sympatise with a nation with borders as long as yours with hordes standing on the other side, but we have stemmed the tide, even though we know these people now go somewhere else. In your case they have nowhere else to go

    It might be useful for you to elect a president who has the confidence of the House.

    Here's the flip flopper from ONE MONTH AGO

    (around the 5 minute mark) .

    When CNN's Dana Bash asked Trump whether he favored a path to citizenship for illegals he says “Right now, no,” ... “we'll see, later, down the line, who knows what's going to happen.

    http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2...ash-interview- the-lead.cnn

    That's quite a shift in a month to "We're going to keep the families together, but they [those in the country illegally] have to go,"

    His position paper without that is reasonable .
    Nationwide E-Verify, visa-tracking for foreign visitors, cutting off aid to sanctuary cities, making overstay of a visa a criminal offense, tightening up on H-1B visas to prevent their being used to import cheap labor, ending birthright citizenship, etc .

    Trump pretty much echos mainstream Republican views as have been articulated by a number of the candidates . Some have spoken at great length on the Senate floor with them. The biggest difference I see is that many of the Chamber of Commerce type Repubs have called for more H1B-s (although they have been pretty silent since the abuses by companies like Disney were exposed ) .

    This proposal to gather them up and deport them ,although good red meat for the masses ,sound undoable to me . For one thing ,he doesn't have the law on his side regarding anchor children ,so he will be spending a lot of time battling it out in court . Since the emperor uses executive fiat ,perhaps he thinks a Republican POTUS should have that unconstitutional power to make law also .
