    Immigration & Welfare

    Vote and comment.

    Note that "free immigration" allows for screening for criminal associations, infectious disease, etc.

    It does not allow for arbitrary quotas, as exist under the present system.

    Immigration should be moderately restricted to prevent cultural balkanization even without welfare.

    Does it have something to do with how in the vast majority of violent crimes the victim and perpetrator are of the same race?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkanization

    When you bring in too many too fast they refuse to become Americans, and begin to colonize portions of territory, and eventually try to breakaway and then usually seek to steal more territory.

    Like the Muslims in Europe.

    This makes immigration indistinguishable from invasion.

    ALL of it created before mass third world immigration, and a problem entirely regardless thereof.

    Modern transportation changed things. It is now cheaper, faster and easier to get here.
    Before then the U.S. had an advantage that other nations in history did not, 2 massive oceans to deter immigration, and at that time the population of Mexico was much less, and the rest of the world had not destroyed themselves so horribly with socialism etc. so less people from anywhere wanted to come and those who did were not so un-American.

    I thought you would embrace my objection to your purism.

    Seriously though, if I saw improvements happening politically where these mass migrations are happening I would be cheering them on louder than you. You are right that welfare etc are problems regardless of who else comes in. But there's no denying the communities that are majority recent immigrants are far more communistic and anti liberty than your average backwards small town in the heartland. Nobody in the liberty movement wants the Texas government to reflect El Paso, or the U.S government to reflect southern California.

    Go ahead and make that case if you can. I'm not close minded just dealing with the facts as they are. If some individual illegal alien is pro liberty then yeah I'd prefer him as a neighbor over 90% of Americans but that's a rare bird.

    Yes, which isn't an acceptable solution for the anti-immigration types, because there are states who absolutely would accept immigrants and then disproportionately reap the economic benefits of them at the expense of their anti-immigration neighbors.

    If the States have it, then they could refuse to let Califonia, NY, Mass, etc. export their human filth to corrupt the rest of the nation.
    But the feds have the authority, since it is a matter of foreign relations, my point was that even if @The Rebel Poet was right, some level of government had the authority.

    They don't want to allow immigration to then pass those people on to other states, they want them to stay.

    Like I said. They will reap the economic benefits of those people.

    Does the immigration of a person involve the permission of the foreign government for their serf to depart?

    Or does every involvement with "human filth" require the involvement of the federal government to police the matter?

    Irrelevant, that is their problem, The would be Immigrant is a foreigner, therefore his relationship to the U.S. is a FOREIGN RELATIONS matter.

    No.

    In case you did not understand, the "human filth" I was referring to were primarily the degenerate, statist "american" citizens of those states.

    Illegal immigrants aren't eligible for Federal government benefits. Legal immigrants have to wait five years to become eligible.

    Medicare: http://www.mymedicare.com/medicare-eligibility/

    Certain groups of individuals born outside of the United States can be eligible for Medicare coverage. No illegal aliens are allowed to collect Medicare benefits. Those who are legal aliens in the United States and have lived in the country for at least five years continuously may be Medicare eligible but need to contact a local Medicare office for specific eligibility information as it can vary from person to person.
    SNAP (food stamps): https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/snap-p...en-eligibility

    Immigrant Eligibility Requirements

    The 2002 Farm Bill restores SNAP eligibility to most legal immigrants that:

    Have lived in the country for 5 years; or
    Are receiving disability-related assistance or benefits; or
    Children under 18

    Certain non-citizens such as those admitted for humanitarian reasons and those admitted for permanent residence may also eligible for the program. Eligible household members can get SNAP benefits even if there are other members of the household that are not eligible.

    (See Policy on Immigrants for information on qualified alien categories and eligibility) (See also SNAP Guidance on Non-Citizen Eligibility)

    Non-citizens that are in the U.S. temporarily, such as students, are not eligible.
    Social Security: http://econofact.org/do-undocumented...nment-benefits

    Undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive Social Security benefits even though many contribute to the system. Many undocumented immigrants work in the formal sector and contribute to the social security trust fund. Estimates suggest that up to $12 billion per year are contributed by undocumented immigrants and their employers. Most undocumented immigrants will never draw from the system. One hypothetical exception is that if the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program lasts long enough and participants pay into the system, they would eventually be eligible for benefits, but the first payouts in this hypothetical eventuality are nearly three decades away. Other immigrants who transition to legal status can also collect benefits based on their contribution history, even if some of their contributions were made while unauthorized.
