ORIGINAL: Marini lol Greta, get to Mexico, walk through to the US, we open our borders to pretty much anyone that walks in through Mexico, I thought you knew. Once you get here, you can get the following: immediate medical care, a free public education until 18 {maybe soon community college}, means-tested welfare benefits {cash, food, housing, Medicaid, food stamps, temporary assistance for needy families and other services},population based services {police, fire, highways, parks, etc}. In 12 states and in D.C. , undocumented immigrants can get drivers licenses. Who cares. The amount of money consumed by these people is a drop in the bucket compared to the Bush Era tax cuts for the wealthy (3.5 trillion dollars plus and counting) and the corporate welfare doled out to companies such as Apple who pay no tax to the US government whatsoever. Poor people and Mexicans aren't dragging this country down and sucking money out of the public purse. That's being done by corporations and rich people. Focus on the problem, not the scapegoat. I have no issue with what you said, and I think we agree on who runs this country and the world. I went WAY off topic, and wasn't able to fully edit my comments. We seem to agree on who runs and controls this country. What we are doing now in this country is unsustainable , and I can accept that. This country will continue to thrive on corporate capitalism and globalization. We can look forward to growing numbers of disenfranchised, marginalized groups of society fighting for the few jobs and opportunities at the bottom. Because until this country turns completely around, welcome to the ever growing divide of the halves and have nots. Until the system changes, those in the middle and lower class will continue to fight over opportunities, housing, jobs and resources. At this point, the only thing that will stop this country is a revolution. I actually embrace the undocumented and illegal immigrants, because they will help propel us towards democratic socialism. Less jobs, less opportunites, middle class decimated, college students unable to find jobs, growing government programs, unending government support, I can't wait to see it all sort out. Government, government, government and more government Democratic socialism is our future!! The EVER growing and EVER increasing numbers of those at the bottom--> will be the future. Bernie Sanders was only the beginning, hardly the end. Capitalism could have worked, but it didn't. People are very, very, tired and a change will eventually come. Democratic socialism is what's coming to America.
