Is it illegal immigrants on welfare?
Well I know of at least one illegal immigrant who's getting billions in government subsidies.
Out of utter curiosity, how does someone who has overstayed their visa become a citizen? I thought overstaying a visa automatically throws up red flags
perjury. lying on immigration paperwork. an act that could and should get his naturalized status stripped, him kicked-out, and then banned from re-entry.
This is my new favorite bedtime story. Thank you
You pay for citizenship. Money.
Bah. You have unlimited get out of jail free cards when you can create your own monopoly board.
It's illegal immigrant billionaires. Partly.
Depends on who you ask ..
So you are not saying it isn't illegal immigrants on welfare?
Well I think we can all agree that illegal immigrants on welfare are at fault here. Close the boarders and end H1B visas, case closed and America is great again.
Damn bro, you're riding that line where it isn't clear whether you're serious or joking at least until the second comment. Enjoy the rush!
Now......you keep saying that word. "Again". I can't figure out where you are deciding the point in hiatory it was EVER great.
It's a nation founded by racist slave holders, who were historically drunk at their founding meetings, and only exist at all because the french are some stubborn and vengeful people.
And from there, they've spent more time AT war than not. Taking about 145 years to even give women the right to vote at all.
Then from there, it was almost IMMEDIATELY followed up by the great depression, caused by the wealthy trying to impose their lifestyles to be paid for by everybody else. A practice that 100 years later is still happening.
Then after the great depression, there was WWII.
After that it was the Korean war, then Vietnam. Then the whole recession in the 80s, mixed with nuclear fears.
Then the 90s happened......you had two different woodstocks in the 90s. Make up your mind, America! Plus we had to endure Jay Leno with his CONSTANT Bill Clinton sex jokes. I mean, all late night hosts made a joke or two when a new development happened, but Lenos material was like 80% Clintons penis. And he was the ONLY one still doing it in 2003!
Then 9/11 happened, and the post 9/11 years weren't great. Those were the years that my then whore of an ex cheated on me with 22 guys in the span of 4 years before I found out. So naturally that means the entire country was doing bad.
Then we had the Obama years. Kinda boring really. The problem is everybody thought "OH SHIT! FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!!! IT'S GONNA BE SOME CHANGES!!!!" He even campaigned in 2008 on the idea of hope and change.
And then what happened? Nothing of interest.
So I don't know when America was EVER great.
Can someone define that?
Sure as shit hasn't been great for people of color.
