The Immigration Protests

I liked

Quote:

The cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University].

Just ignoring the fact this data is a decade old for a minute. How much is the US GNP? How many TRILLION dollars does America make every year? Americans would lose more money down the back of the couch.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh so about 2-3% of your total tax payments for the year? GUNNA BE IN THE POOR HOUSE

How do these guys even end up on welfare anyway? If you're an illegal alien without documentation how do you even become eligable for money? Normally those kinds of things require you know, ID. Sounds like theres an easier solution here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why not make walking across the border a legal way to enter the country? Then they're not illegal immigrants!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

GUMBY, NO ONE HAS HAD TWLEVE YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION WHAT FUCKING PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON?

I'm wiling to bet most of these immigrants are smarter than you to begin with, besides I didn't realise pulling a trigger required intelligence.

Anyone can pick up English if they're absorbed in it for a couple of months, EVEN YOU!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Let's face facts. Most of this "they're breaking our rules and taking our taxes" bullshit is just pissweak excuses to mask supressed racism and nationalism.

America has pretty much no welfare to speak of anyway, what can they even take from you guys? The Americans I live with gawk and vocalise their envy whenever I detail benefits I receive simply for being Australian.

Most amazing jew boots

Night Pheonix. America has pretty much no welfare compared to other nations.

75% of my University fees are paid outright, the remainder I pay with an interest free loan which I don't even have to pay.
I receive $150 US a week just be being a student over the age of 16. I can earn an additional $170US with paid work if I choose and receive no penalty.
Any medication I want, for anything, even something as meaningless as acne treatment, I have a 90% discount.
Catching public transport costs me 50 cents. And it lasts for three hours, I can catch any combination of ferry, train or bus, paying the one fee.

Fuck people out of work, life Infernal, receive more 3 times as much money as American waitresses do.

And we've had a conservative government cutting back on all of this for the past eleven years.
Australia isn't anywhere near are left as most of Europe too.

America has no welfare in comparison. I mean all the crap you mentioned required permanent citizenship at the minimun to even be eligable for.

Compared to what people could potentially receive in other countries, the USA is no free ride. For the most part, your illegal aliens are paying their own way.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The majority of illegal immigration to Australia orignates from Central Asia. Clearly a body of water is no problem, nor are other nations, as a buffer for this. And theres plenty of other welfare states in the Americas that would offer a far better free ride than America. If that's what they were after, that's where they'd go.

Mexicans leave Mexico and come to the US because they wan't to be American.

Looks like no one can answer this one.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh so collecting handouts isn't why they're coming to America? Thank you.

Of course sorry. Everyone is trying to come to America.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
