Your just not that smart man, no offense. People are blind in this country and your one of them unfortunately.
Open borders IS A PROBLEM. It takes jobs away from citizens. Obama care IS A PROBLEM, I've paid more in medical bills this year than I ever have and insurance refuses to cover so many things now.
Your not getting a free education! Nothing is free, history has proven this. That includes welfare, mortgages, and healthcare for illegals as well. Tax payers eat that cost.
Don't be dumb and blinded by media
I’m more than willing to put my IQ against anyone’s. Sure there are plenty of folks out there who are smarter than I am, but I’m smarter than most. Smart enough to know that when I call someone stupid, I should probably not make a ton of grammatical mistakes in the first paragraph. Smart phone or not, it hurts your case…I'm also smart enough to know that calling someone stupid, then adding "no offense" to the end doesn't somehow make it less offensive.
I agree that open borders are a problem. However, what evidence do you offer that immigrants are taking away jobs from Americans? The way I understand it, they are taking the jobs that Americans are unwilling to do. How many of us are knocking down doors to be farm workers, landscape guys, and housekeepers? These immigrants are NOT murderers and rapists. In fact, the FBI reports that they are LESS likely to commit crimes than normal American citizens. However, they ARE by and large unskilled workers and are willing and able to do manual labor for cheap wages… Ask your boy Trump, he’s used plenty of them.
I am also pretty practical. I don’t believe for a MINUTE that Mexico is going to pay for a 1200+ mile wall. So let’s say we do spend billions putting up a 15 foot wall. A $50 extension ladder puts you right over the top of it. So now you’ve got to hire THOUSANDS more border patrol agents… How many do you need to cover that length of wall 24/7?
There are between 11 and 15 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Let’s say we hire 10000 new law enforcement officers that only go after these guys. And they never take a day off and work 24/7 (just to keep the math simple). With due process, let’s say they can catch 2 people per day. That’s 20000 immigrants per day (wow, that’s a medium sized town…. Where are you going to house and feed that many?… not to mention, that’s a LOT of bus trips to the border… better hurry 20K more are coming tomorrow). Anyway that’s 2 million every hundred days. So let’s pick 14 million in country. I would take about two years to catch them (assuming of course than no more come over the 15 ft fence AND the ones that are here don’t reproduce).
Now inject a dose of reality b/c the above numbers are fairy tale ones. You are talking more than a decade to move that many people out. Trump may indeed be way smarter than I am, but you don’t have to be very smart to use a calculator and see that his plan to “round em all up” isn’t practical.
As for Obama care… If you don’t like it don’t use it. Nobody is forcing you to. I have the same Blue Cross and Blue Shield I’ve had for years. My rates haven’t gone up any more in the last 8 years than they did the previous 8 under George W Bush. My coverage hasn’t changed a bit. The fact of the matter is, some of the biggest congressional critics of Obama care use the hell out of it, b/c it’s cheaper than private insurance. You may be too young to remember rise in health care costs in the 2000s, but it was pretty bad. And if you had a serious medical condition, your ass was dropped after they paid it out, and there was nothing you could do about it. THEN whatever insurance to moved to wouldn’t help you if you had further trouble (pre existing condition). It didn’t matter how long you had been paying in, you just had to suck it. Now I don’t love Obama care, but nothing is perfect and we can work to fix the parts that are broken and keep the parts that work.
Numbers are hard things. They generally don't bend for anyone, no matter the party. When you say "trust me", I'm going to do something that defies logistics as we understand them... I'm a bit skeptical. If that makes me dumb, so be it.
