Good. Vote for that.
Good. Vote for that.
Illiterate uneducated peasants from places with dirt floors in their houses and 12 kids per family supported by a dad who scrounges metal from piles of garbage in the town dump should never, ever, be granted visas. They will be a burden on our welfare system AT BEST, but most likely a burden on our welfare system, a burden that will dumb-down our education system to the remedial level, burden our health-care system with "emergency medical services" that include ten or eleven babies delivered in the emergency room or in the ambulance on the way to the hospital because the mother had zero pre-natal care and only called an ambulance when the water broke, and a burden on our prison system housing the cast-off kids who can't function in a 21st century economy with 8th century upbringings.
If you went back in time and asked the Shoshone, the Arapaho, the Sioux, the Shianne, the Hopi, the Navajo, the Crow, the Blackfeet, the Nez Perce, the Cherokee, and so on, if they would like their entire cultures erased from the earth, their bloodlines largely terminated, their lands dispoiled, their women and children sold into slavery, and their descendants caged on tiny plots of land like human-inhabited zoos... and then asked them to vote on whether or not they wanted to see more immigration, how do you imagine that vote would go?
Yeah... about the same as if all of this diversity-macht-frei immigration-is-beautiful bullshit were ever actually put to a vote.
I vote no.
