    Well, let me see your data on that. And does it include their children as well? Another problem is their income, since they tend not to have any skill to earn money. Thus, they depend on Earned Income tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. Therefore, they get more in refund then they paid in tax.

    But you do not agree with freedom either. If you did that, you would be against unions and for open border. You would have supported U.S. turning into third world country.

    Again, that's fine. That's your feels. But do you have any evidence, any reals, to indicate that this is actually happening? That's the rub.



    Disagreeing is one thing, but we're talking about facts here. We have no facts, or even any evidence, to back up your assertion beyond "But they're Democrats!"
    Yes, American Dream is DEAD completely for low skilled worker. If you are born lowskilled, then YOU are going to die lowskilled and poor. YOUR children MIGHT succeed, depending on their genetics (mental illness and lack of ambition is genetic). But YOU are DOOMED to be low skilled and Poor. YOU are ALWAYS going to be Liability to this nation, great for the economy since you would be buying shit but Leech to public treasury, and will cause increase in tax to subsidize your living through welfare.

    I'd love to see this info, I was unaware that white people didn't go through the same path to citizenship that non-white people go through.

    This is not even remotely the same thing. Gerrymandering is redrawing voting districts with the specific purpose of benefitting your party.

    There is no indication that there is any pressure on the part of the government to impact how these new citizens will vote. If they choose to vote Democrat because they see the GOP demonizing them at every turn, that's literally the GOP's fault. It's not some Democrat conspiracy.
    You are being disingenious here. YOU know very well this is being done to specificly gain democratic vote. Democrates are BUYING votes through making the immigrants citizens, since it qualifies them for further welfare. The tax increase would be done on the middle class, which the immigrants won't be paying.

    and I said that because it seems half the people here havent actually interacted with many. The ones i know wanted to contribute to AMeirca, be in an amazing country, and vote. to make it continue to be great. Not to somehow make it like Peru or CHina or Canada...
    but you are mostly meeting with college educated immigrants, not the majority who are barely above cattle in value. While it is not their fault being born poor, or not having any skill the nation needs, it is how it is. They are destined to use welfare, medicaid, and hospital emergency visits, maternity care, education funds for their children without paying anything into it, receiving child tax credit, earned income tax credit, their many children's healthcare without contributing anything. They born to keep their culture alive in the U.S. because it makes them comfortable. Thereby they will turn this nation into third world status.

    genuinely, though Do YOU honestly believe brown people will contribute to this country? Their children might, but they themselves? If you are talking about rich brown people with skills, they won't have any problem at all even now. Problem is overpopulated (check population growth in Latin America) low skilled (they have no education, and those that do, is pathetic education since standard for education is low) brown who won't contribute to this nation. If you are are from "they are doing jobs, that americans won't do" camp, tell me something, how many of those jobs even exist in teh U.S. per year, when we aer getting Millions of immigrants to this nation per year. Are we getting low skilled job boom i was not aware of?

    If the Republicans have community outreach in the area, sure. The Republicans don't exactly have the same focus as the Democrats in their community outreach though, as we see in the general appeals made to immigrants and minorities overall.

    Community outreach for Democrats is usually coordinated with local civic/social groups and leaders and they're being told directly that President Obama and the Democrats are going to clear the way for them to be citizens, going to make X, Y, Z happen for them, etc etc and that it's important for A, B, and C reasons to vote Democrat so that they can continue to provide X, Y, Z to them and their family and people back home. Those civic/social leaders proselytize those not already firmly found in their camp and act as the ground level assurances of such promises. You have chartered transportation for these people, voting rallies with food, sometimes entertainment and lots of the traditional handshaking and speechgiving which amounts to a bunch of vote buying and dog whistling of their own.

    Having grown up in Detroit I've experienced this first hand because anyone from the inner city regardless of race was at one time assumed to have Democrat sympathies and those guys would talk to you openly and blatantly about hooking you up with this, that and the other if you came downtown and cast your vote for Coleman Young, or Dennis Archer, etc. Nowadays if you're not a minority they auto assume you support Republicans and are generally surprised if you don't.

    You definitely hear about these types of collusion and influence chains in the more Democrat dominated areas around the country as the outreach goes down to the streets and is more easily recognized and reported rather than up to the board rooms where Republicans typically prefer to reach for support.

    You want to talk about the institutionalized mistreatment of easily exploitable peoples; aka racism?

    You're witnessing it!
    Watch how fast all the excuses and cover for Hillary and the Dems comes. They will probably call you a racist or a xenophobe too. They will question the source of the article and act "surprised" that you don't want these people to become automatic citizens.

    No matter what Hillary and the dems do, they will create endless excuses for her. She could get caught murdering children in cold blood (and she probably did when she bombed out Libya with Obama without Congressional approval) and they would still lie and make excuses for her. She has broken the world record for corruption, scandals and lies and they still believe her and the Dems.

    Maybe if the Republicans weren't always coming off like they hated immigrants, they wouldn't have to worry about them voting Democrat. It's not like all new immigrants are secretly told to always vote democrat, in fact most immigrants tend to come from more conservative countries.

    Probably because it is xenophobic nonsense, at the very least. The same folks who keep shouting about how immigrants need to go through the legal process to come to this country and earn their citizenship are up in arms that...immigrants are going through the legal process to earn their citizenship.

    They're not becoming "automatic" citizens. They still have to go through the lengthy legal process of earning their citizenship, the only "change" is that the administration is trying to fast-track some of them so that they'll get a chance to vote for whichever person will be their commander-in-chief for the next 4 to 8 years. That seems pretty damn patriotic and awesome to me.

    If Republicans are terrified that their party platform of demonizing immigrants is going to lead to recent immigrants voting for Democrats, then they need to re-evaluate their platform.

    Which they did, 4 years ago, and came to the conclusion they needed to do better with women, minorities, and immigrants. And then Trump came around and all of that went out the window as the GOP has tripled down on xenophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, and general bigotry.

    How on earth is this relevant to Hillary? She's not remotely involved in this event.

    Being against mass unskilled migration is logical.

    There are definitely legitimate arguments to be made against it for sure, but it can be done in a way that benefits everyone. We aren't really talking about "mass unskilled migration" though in this case, it's more so people who've already gone through the very long and difficult process of becoming citizens. I have looked into it and becoming a US citizen even from Canada is not a quick or simple process.

    Contrarilywise if the Democrats didn’t spend so much time telling immigrants that Republicans hated them then the field would be naturally open to an appeal of policies and vision, but Democrats always assume that immigrants and minority votes belong to them and you get the Uncle Tom/Race Traitor treatment if you break away from it, lots of social pressure in those groups to vote the right way.

    Immigrants don't need Democrats to tell them that. They can watch the news like everyone else and come to that conclusion without any help.

    So basically...immigrants are too stupid to form their own opinions and only listen to what Democrats (not Republicans, though) say?

    Because that's kinda what you're saying here. If Republicans really did try to appeal to immigrants, rather than demonize them, and if one assumed that immigrants weren't idiots, then it would stand to reason that immigrants would listen to what both parties have to say and then make their own choices.

    There's over 40 million unregistered to vote non-college educated whites in America. It's nice to see Republicans whine about phony BS excuses for their election short comings rather than TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and get more people to vote for them. If 60% of those non-college whites they are ignoring are would-be Republican votes why aren't they trying to register them? Why do they get so mad that Democrats have a great voter registration program? Dems get new people and build voter coalitions. All I see and hear from Republicans is HOW CAN WE GET LESS PEOPLE TO VOTE? But I guess when you have failed policies and racist presidential candidates you want as few people voting as possible.

    Winning a political position isn't a measure of merit in and of itself. Reaching your stated goals after winning would be an example of merit.

    Are you saying these people are stupid and unable to think for themselves? That's the only way your argument holds any merit because there is absolutely nothing stopping the republican party from appealing to them, and given that they are mostly from more conservative countries should easily win that battle for votes hands down.

    Unless of course its true that republicans hate immigrants and immigrants thinking for themselves realize this truth......

    Which news, the ones like CNN and MSNBC and Headline News that are actively working to elect Hillary and other Democrats and are responsible for conveying those anti immigrant messages that Democrats have been spewing? I mean it’s not like those channels don’t give a giant political erection off putting up Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or Luis Gutierrez on the floor of Congress spewing out how much Republicans and the Right hate immigrants.
    That’s a quality, surely totally unbiased source for them to take in no doubt! Don’t fret though, I’m not expecting any part of the professional media to be unbiased, they get paid plenty to protect and present a particular slice of the Establishment machine, so let’s not pretend we can hope to get unbiased views from anywhere you find corporate newsmedia.

    No, they know if they want to be protected and taken care of what is the way they should vote, and that’s reinforced through general fearmongering that occurs as well as positive emphasis of policy and systems that is made. The compare/contrast fearmongering coupled with the same kind of team player voting mentality that was traditionally used with union members and their votes before the Democrats abandoned them to become an immigrant/social issues oriented party is applied to immigrants as well.
