Yes. It states that YOU should help the needy, not the government that takes your money by force..soo..

When I lived in Japan I befriended a bike shop owner and professional rider that wanted to move to the US permanently. She was college educated, spoke decent English, and was required to have at least $100k cash in order to be considered for entry/residency.

Yet, we are expected to let thousands/millions of people with no assets, no English, and no marketable skills come here because "we are a nation of Immigrants." It's fricking disgusting.

Ok, out of sheer curiosity who downvoted this?

Sort of like the whole Matthew Shepard narrative?

Lol. Such a fear mongering retarded lot. You guys are such morons it's incredible. So you use a crappy news source to link a known white nationalist anti-immigration group and trust those numbers are correct? That is so hilarious.

I was looking up some information on the center for immigration studies and I found this:

"The CIS is part of a network of closely related anti-immigrant groups founded by John Tanton, who spent decades at the heart of the white nationalist movement and ran a publishing house, the Social Compact Press, that published numerous racist tracts. The fear-mongering of these groups has been responsible for much of the hysteria about immigrants that dominates conservative politics."

Dummy

You can't run a welfare state in a vacuum. Either shut down welfare and allow immigration OR shut down immigration and allow welfare. You can't do both.

The report says that: Of non-citizens in Census Bureau data, roughly half are in the country illegally. Non-citizens also include long-term temporary visitors (e.g. guestworkers and foreign students) and permanent residents who have not naturalized (green card holders).

Why do you think the CIS used non-citizens instead of people in the country illegally. HINT: the study is of "non-citizens, but the average person is thinking "illegals."

So if you want the numbers for illegals you should roughly cut them in half.

Why did CIS use SIPP instead of individual numbers? HINT: non-citizen households are larger than citizen households and that increases the likelihood that ANY member of the household gets ANY welfare benefit.

The report also says that: non-citizen households access the welfare system at high rates, often receiving benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children. HINT: they emphasize children (of course), but other members of the household could be a citizen. Therefore, if ANYONE in the household is getting welfare, even legally, the household is included as receiving welfare -- as if it wrong/illegal.

Typical misleading/bogus report from the Center for Immigration Studies.

I don’t give a shite what the Bible, or any text that isn’t given the full weight of law by the United States Congress, says on this issue.

Totally irrelevant comment.
