US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

The President of the United States is an extremely powerful position, comparing it to the ceremonial role of the President of Ireland demonstrates how clueless you are.

Throw up the numbers that show Obama has been one of the best presidents.

Lollies.

Iā€™m not the one supporting the anti-immigrant candidate, pal, you are.

The Clintons, the Obamas, the Trudeaus and the Maradonas are examples of all-American families.

@Sidney being racist it appears.

Guess he doesnā€™t want to recognise or refuses to recognise Melaniaā€™s citizenship status.

Heā€™s pro immigration, heā€™s just in favour of following the laws that are currently there

When are you due back from Mars?

Impressive that you can pick up wi-fi there, I must say.

Absolutely.

If you want to live in a country you must integrate into its culture and abide by the laws of the country.

Trump is pro legal immigration (1.2 million people legally moved to the US last year) which is a benefit to the economy, and anti illegal immigration, which is a drain on the economy. Unsurprising you canā€™t tell the difference.

He is pro immigration, that is a fact. Immigration by the book.

Drain my hole. If every illegal immigrant in the US was deported in the morning the economies of Cali, Tx and a rake of other states would crash overnight. Nothing would be built. No roads would be fixed. The price of food would skyrocket.
Illegals immigrants put billions more into the US treasury than they get back, because the majority have FICA, SS etc taken out of their wages, and they canā€™t claim any of that back or benefit from it. Much much more than what they may gain in social services. Even if their kids are going to public school, keep in mind education is paid for by property taxes on most states, and EVERYONE pays for that, either directly by owning a house ( lots of illegals own houses) or indirectly by paying rent (your landlord has the property taxes on the house or apt you rent rolled into what he charges).
On top of that they also pay billions in sales Tax, every time the go to a shop and buy something

So you are in favour of illegal immigration so. Glad weā€™ve got that covered.

There should be no immigration anywhere. The concept itself is wrong. People should be free to go wherever they want.

Lolz

For every economist who agrees with your analysis, thereā€™s one who disagrees. I happen to agree with those that conclude illegal immigration is a drain, as their arguments are based on actual data and not made up bullshit. The average illegal immigrant household receives about $24K in government benefits, while paying about $10K in (all) taxes, do the math.

The economies of Cali, Texas etc. would not crash, wages for low income jobs would simply have to rise to meet demand. So what if people have to pay more for their vegetables or getting their lawn mowed. The minimum wage is too low as it is, illegals for low income labor cut it by another 50%. For those competing with illegals in most states, thatā€™s a hell of a wage cut.

I am not in favor of deporting existing illegals, unless they have committed serious crime. There should be an amnesty program for existing undocumented workers, especially those with families born here.

So, lets say all the ISIS lads in Syria and Iraq decided Ireland would be the best spot for them to set up operations, you would be fine with that? An ISIS enclave across the street from you? Go away to fuck you bluffer.

You wouldnā€™t hear better than that from a Ms World contestant.

Would they even exist in such a world? I doubt it.

Stupid childish response. Have a go at a bit of deeper thought and not just regurgitating something someone else did or wrote.

Not sure how having an alternative opinion constitutes being a bluffer. But its the typical response from the narrow minded who struggle with anything that forces critical anlysis. I feel sorry for yoy.

As usual, you make a claim that is simply wrong.

Illegal immigrants pay 15 billion dollars into social security each year without getting anything back from it.

Over half the US agricultural workforce consists of illegal immigrants - they benefit all US consumers by enabling lower food prices for all.

Harvard economist Jorge Borjas has concluded that illegal immigrants increased the average United Statesianā€™s wealth by 1%.

A Congress report acknowledges the economic benefit:

Over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the
fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have
concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax
revenues of all types generated by immigrantsā€”both
legal and unauthorizedā€”exceed the cost of the services
they use.
