Dedric, I agree with what you said.
The countries they come from are corrupt shit holes. They want to bring
their ways here. They don't want to follow rules, or assimilate. It is
costly, we have to print all government documents in their native language.
It should be a rule that you have to learn the language before you can become
a citizen. Why is it my responsibility to pay for somebody from another
country?
Their countries have just as many natural resources as any where else. Gold,
diamonds, oil, agriculture, tourism, etc. There governments are corrupt.
They will bring that here, and make our country a shit hole too.
They are not going to follow the rules or laws. Granting them rights and
making them citizens sends the wrong message the the whole world. We'll
be flooded and our standard of living will drop. As demand goes up so will
the cost of everything.
