Immigrants are Using Less Welfare than US Citizens

In that respect, the title is correct. Immigrants whether legal or not do not use more welfare than U.S. citizens. That they do use welfare benefits can be an issue to many. However, I believe we should look more at the economic impact immigrants have on the economy whether they are legal or not. As […]

SCOTUS on Immigrants and Legal Status

Coming by way of Sarah Burris at AlterNet, etc. It was not that long ago when Kavanaugh penned an opinion giving more leeway to immigration agents. His claim for doing so was “they rarely take American citizens into custody. If such were to occur by mistake a citizen is taken, they are released very quickly.” […]

Facts About Immigrants and Medicaid

Even if they are illegal, students, or just touring. Sickly people endanger the rest of the nation. The nation will end up spending more by reducing healthcare to them. It has […]

The truth about immigration

The big lie about immigration, promoted by the GOP and its right-wing propaganda outlets, is that under Biden the US has had “open borders.” LOL! Nowhere close. And the US hasn’t had open borders at least since the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 that prohibited all immigration of Chinese laborers for ten years. The law […]

Our Woefully Underestimated Vice President and the Unforgiving Chattering Classless…

Infidel introduced me to Annie’s blog and Annie. Angry Bear lacks for a female writer who can discuss the issues from a women’s point of view, economics impacting them, and other needs.

He thought they were migrants on the bus
