You ask my question first I'll ask yours.

You're not aware of the ruling party in CA? Do a quick google search--I'm pretty sure you'll find it.

socal2 says

As Europe (and California) is quickly figuring out, you can have generous entitlement systems or open borders. You can't have both.

Spot on

I'm pretty sure it's the same Democratic Party it was yesterday and it didn't change its name overnight. And it still endorses and supports illegal immigration by creating incentives to cross illegally and stay indefinitely because all the laws and policies they passed to this end are still on the books today. So the notion that Democrat party is not pro-illiegals is booooogus. They are most definitely, blatantly and openly pro-illegal.

OK which laws are those that create incentives to cross illegally? I'm assuming you don't mean the ones that are only available to US citizens.

Can't wait to see the Tump cultists explain away this one:

"DES MOINES – Cristhian Rivera, the man accused in the death of a 20-year-old University of Iowa student, worked for an Iowa farm owned by the brother of a prominent Iowa Republican.
In a statement Tuesday night, Dane Lang, of Yarrabee Farms, said Rivera was an “employee in good standing” and was “shocked to hear” Rivera was implicated in the death of Mollie Tibbetts.
Dane Lang is related to Craig Lang, the former president of both the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and the Iowa Board of Regents and a 2018 Republican candidate for state secretary of agriculture. Documents immediately reviewed by the Des Moines Register listed several owners of Yarrabee Farms, including Dane Lang and Eric Lang, Craig's brother."


Employing an illegal alien is against the law, last I checked. If you want to stop illegals from coming to the country--start by locking up Dan Lang. Don't tell me he didn't know...

LeonDurham says

You responded the welfare benefits have increased dramatically.
I asked when that happened. Eventually you said there were laws passed 80 years ago. I guess it takes illegals 4 generations to get the message, huh?

Most of the entitlement spending increase happened after the 1960's with Johnson's War on Poverty programs.

Then we experienced the "Second Great Wave of Immigration" in the 1970's.

Yawn. Classic whataboutism on display.

LeonDurham says

Can't wait to see the Tump cultists explain away this one:

That Republican's brother should face the consequences of his bad hiring decision.

See? That's what having actual morals sounds like.

It'll turn out Dane Lang was Pro-Illegal, full of ideas for Guest Worker programs and Amnesties and quite possibly a Jeb!/Cruz/Rubio backer

Aphroman says

What point are you trying to make? I dont think this graph suggests what you think it suggests.

Aphroman says

So what you’re saying is he is a Republican?

Yep, I'll bet you a big landowning Republican from Iowa was an Open-Borders advocate, or rather supportive of "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" to commit "Acts of Love".

Yarrabee Farms, a poor amily farmer:

https://www.breitbart.com/economics/2018/08/22/iowa-public-tv-shows-yarrabee-farms-employer-of-mollie-tibbetts-alleged-killer/

The whole tone of the video is basically "We need more illegals and more guest worker programs, because we don't wanna pay decent wages, and the volume of milk production is too high." Well, then let the free market work and shut down some dairy farms until the price rises so it's stable. Y'know, like Cars, Pizza, Haircuts, and everything else.

Dane Lang admits he did NOT use E-Verify. Accused Illegal Immigrant Killer Rivera used a Fake ID.

Make E-Verify mandatory. I've used it. I takes no time at all. The company I worked for, HAD to use it as the outcome of a massive lawsuit filed by an executive raped ad murdered by an illegal immigrant.

"Name is Francesca Rodriguez, born 9/20/1981. Social Security Number 123-45-6789"
"Sorry, that number does don't match. It was issued to Olaf Hanson, 5/10/29, of Osh Kosh, Wisconsin, died 10/9/1998"

LeonDurham says

Not to mention that illegals don't qualify for the majority of the welfare aid anyway.

https://econofact.org/do-undocumented-immigrants-overuse-government-benefits

Oh Joey...

So, to support your argument, you post a link that says "OVERUSE" government benefits. That proves that they get many government benefits..

Folks, you can't make this shit up.

LOL

Left already blamed this on America.

CNN bullshit never stops, they are set on undermining USA.

Illegals do get welfare. They send kids to public schools, drive on public roads, use utilities, etc... all free courtesy of taxpayers. Mothers get welfare and food stamps, I know several in our good old Reseda.

Yep, that's why I said, the majority of welfare aid--not they don't get any welfare aid.

RafiMaas says

Republicans are pro-illegal.

The super rich in general are. I'm glad you see the R and D establishment are a team, whereas Trump is for the working man.

I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 23, 2018

This is a Classic Trump Trap.

He's going to get lots of Verified Blue Checks and maybe even some Democratic Leaders to stand with Zimbabwe Style Racist Land Seizure.

Several million people getting benefits is breaking the bank here in CA.

Our schools are overcrowded and no money, it’s a lot of people who pay zero taxes to take care of.

They pay taxes. Gas tax, property tax (rent), sales tax, etc.

LeonDurham says

Gas tax, property tax (rent), sales tax, etc.

What about income tax?

Goran_K says

What about income tax?

Isn't Federal Personal Income Tax the largest single contributor to Federal Revenue ?

No they don’t. They are all cash and food stamps here.

I live here, I see it.

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

I thought we were just talking about tax. Because most welfare services that illegals would receive are local/state and not paid with Federal money.

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

Why yes it is! I wonder if illegal aliens pay it.

LeonDurham says

So you're in favor of a tax system where people only pay into the troughs they actually use?

RafiMaas says

And payroll taxes are the second biggest contributor to federal revenue.

So it's okay to pay only the taxes you want to pay?

RafiMaas says

Republican Pro-illegal dairy

Because the owner's brother is Republican, it means the Dairy is Republican?

RafiMaas says

Let's set a good example and not be trolling.

?????????????

RafiMaas says

Is that a question or a statement?

It's a question to your statement "And payroll taxes are the second biggest contributor to federal revenue."

So what?

RafiMaas says

Are we trying to say the owner isn't Republican? Any proof?

I don't care about that. Rivera used a fake name, had a fake SSN number, and fake ID. The fact is he was criminally evading the system of checks, that's not a partisan GOP vs DNC issue, it's a criminal issue. I might have been tricked into hiring him (though I might have run him through e-verify). Doesn't mean I'm in favor of illegal aliens taking jobs from legal citizens.

Are you suggesting the good law abiding christian trump voters are breaking the law by paying illegals under the table? I know, pelosi/obama made them do it.

S

So illegals are exempt from state income tax, sales tax, and property taxes (paid by rent). When did that policy start?

RafiMaas says

Is that what Republicans think? Maybe that's why Trump won't show his tax returns.

Democrats think Immigration laws are optional. That's literally the idea behind Sanctuary Cities.

We haven't seen this attempt to subvert Federal Laws since the Fugitive Slave Act.

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

Once again-that's a strawman. Anytime you tell us what Dems believe, it's ALWAYS a strawman.

That is absolutely NOT the idea behind Sanctuary Cities.

If they do it knowingly, yes. Same with illegal hiring Democrats. See? That's what having morals looks like.

LeonDurham says

Are illegals living in sanctuary cities breaking the law or not?

This is a Yes or No question.

Bonus question, what exactly IS the idea behind them?

MrMagic says

Yes.

MrMagic says

Bonus question, what exactly IS the idea behind them?

"Leaders of sanctuary cities want to reduce the fear of deportation and possible family break-up among people who are in the country illegally, so that such people will be more willing to report crimes, use health and social services, and enroll their children in school."

LeonDurham says

Once again-that's a strawman. Anytime you tell us what Dems believe, it's ALWAYS a strawman.

The idea behind Sanctuary cities is to make immigration enforcement difficult.

Frankly, it's insulting to people's intelligence to act like Sanctuary City policies aren't put in place to make immigration enforcement difficult.

LeonDurham says

"Leaders of sanctuary cities want to reduce the fear of deportation and possible family break-up among people who are in the country illegally, so that such people will be more willing to report crimes, use health and social services, and enroll their children in school."

More Teaching and Social Work Jobs = More Dem Voters. Plus the grateful Immigrants. All paid for by suburban taxpayers, who are citizens or legal residents.

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

And gain loyal voters.

I hope that's a joke.
