Bernie Sanders, that socialist curmudgeon
we love to hate, has come up with a new way to smother American prosperity:
FREE healthcare for illegal aliens.
As has become expected in these neo-socialist
times, Democrats were delighted by the proposition of robbing hardworking
Americans for the benefit of those who break federal laws.
But when Bastard Bernie says FREE, what does that
mean? Redistribution of wealth via taxation, of course. Take monies from the
rightful owner by force and intimidation and give it to the wrongful owner.
What does Bastard Bernie get out of it? Power and control over the unethical
transaction. That power, the ability to say who keeps what is the ultimate
control; for no one can control their own destiny, only Bastard Bernie and the
other glorified thieves in power control each American's destiny when they take
your money. The more that he takes from you, the more power he has over you,
and the less you control your own life. This is precisely why taxation amounts
to economic slavery.
Bernie Sanders understands better than anyone, that
the one who controls the money is the one who controls freedom and destiny. If
Bastard Bernie doesn't take your earnings from you, then you maintain power and
control over your life and your destiny. If, on the other hand, he takes what
you earned, then you and your labor belong to the state. When Bastard Bernie
hands your cash to illegals, he simultaneously hands them control over your
life. This is exactly what Bastard Bernie wants: to dilute your control over
your own destiny. Bernie now also wants to give illegal immigrants power over
you.
This diabolical plan for the diminution of Americans isn't restricted to
Bastard Bernie; he is joined by the other democrat neo-socialists like
Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, and Kirstin Gillibrand. They call their politics
by various names in an attempt to convolute and conceal the simplistic
socialism that drives their agenda. Don't get lost in the words they use; just
look at what they are plotting. They advocate for increased taxation,
redistribution, and government control over your life. Bernie Sander's bill
"Medicare for All" was co-sponsored by these con-artists, and their
control effort would cost you an estimated $32 trillion. Nice people.
More harrowingly, the neo-democrats prioritize the interests of illegal
immigrants over the basic needs of the Americans who they are sworn to
represent. But why are illegal immigrants of particular interest all of a
sudden?
On the one hand, because democrats prey on weakness
or the appearance of weakness, and illegal immigrants are the perceptively weak
concern du jour that strikes
the Democrats' fancy. That's it; there's not much more or less to it. On the
whole, Democrats are not deeply concerned with the plight of an illegal
immigrant; they are just using these people to advance their political agenda
amongst their bleeding-heart base. Remember how the Democrats were vividly
trying to save the whales in the '90s? Whatever happened to the whales? Who's
saving them nowadays? Maybe they went the way of the ozone hole that
was all the craze in the '80s. Do you ever wonder what the illegal immigrants
were doing in the '80s and '90s when the ozone and the whales were the
weaklings du jour?
Donald Trump is the reason why illegals became the
attraction of the day, as they are the group he is attempting to regulate,
rendering them weaklings du jour for
Democrats. Had Trump decided to build a barrier to keep dangerous sharks away
from U.S. beaches, then "Save The Sharks!" would have been the prime
democratic platform. Anything anti-trump is magically and automatically
converted into pro-democrats. This how the gays and Islamists came to political joinder in
the same party; they call this "intersectionality."
On the other hand, because Democrats are clawing at well walls, trying to
find a way out of the deep loss to Donald Trump. They need more bodies, more
votes. It's a bid to stay in power. Aside from attempting to entice illegals
with free healthcare, they are also attempting to give illegals the right to
vote, followed by attempting to change the American voting system to be a rule by majority, which they would easily
get if illegals can vote for the hand that feeds them. It's all about power,
about control. It's about eroding America and capitalism.
Think about the Democrats' plan from the
perspective of a would-be illegal border crosser. The proposition that those
who break U.S. laws will be rewarded with admiration and riches in the form of
Spoils of Taxation, is a rather attractive bargain. Why not break the border
law? You will receive free lawyers,
free food, free shelter, free healthcare, free legal advice from
a local Sanctuary Sheriff, and unfettered admiration by the neo-socialist
clique growing in the United States. Seems too good to pass up, no?
Neo-socialism is a lucrative invitation for the
illegal bypass of American laws.
Sanctuary Cities Welcome Illegal Aliens with ‘Open Arms’ While 38K American Veterans Remain Homeless
4:23
Sanctuary cities across the United States are responding to President Donald Trump’s threat to bus border crossers and illegal aliens to their jurisdictions, saying they plan to welcome all illegal immigration with “open arms” despite soaring homelessness problems.
Last week, Trump threatened to bus border crossers and illegal aliens into sanctuary cities and states, like California and New York City, if the country’s asylum laws were not changed. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday confirmed that the White House is considering the plan.
“The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,” Trump posted on Twitter over the weekend. “We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or it’s poor management & high taxes!”
Sanctuary city mayors like Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf have responded to Trump’s threat by saying they plan to welcome any and all illegal aliens to their cities — even those cities that are struggling with rising homelessness. Currently, there are nearly 38,000 homeless American veterans across the country.
“Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or how you got here,” Schaaf wrote on Twitter.
As of 2017, there were more than 2,700 Oakland residents who were homeless — an increase of 25 percent when compared to two years before. In all of Alameda County, there are about 5,630 homeless residents. In all of California, there are nearly 130,000 homeless residents, including nearly 11,000 homeless American Veterans.
Sanctuary city New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio originally blasted Trump for the plan, claiming the president was using illegal aliens as “chess pieces,” but he then advocated for giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses in order to attract more illegal aliens to the state.
“Undocumented immigrants are our neighbors and part of the backbone of our economy,” de Blasio wrote online. “It’s mind-boggling that they aren’t allowed to have driver’s licenses in New York State.”
New York City homelessness has reached the highest levels since the 1930s when the country struggled through the Great Depression. Today, there are nearly 64,000 homeless residents in New York City, including more than 15,000 homeless families with almost 23,000 homeless children. This is the largest metro area homeless population in the country. There are more than 1,200 homeless American veterans living in New York state.
In interviews with the Daily Beast, sanctuary city mayors from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; and Cambridge, Massachusetts, said their jurisdictions would be happy to welcome all illegal aliens.
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Cambridge have a combined homeless population of at least 12,000 residents. In the state of Massachusetts, alone, there are now more than 20,000homeless residents, including almost 1,000 homeless American veterans.
“The city would be prepared to welcome these immigrants just as we have embraced our immigrant communities for decades,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said.
“As a welcoming city, we would welcome these migrants with open arms, just as we welcomed Syrian refugees, just as we welcomed Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria and just as we welcome Rohingya refugees fleeing genocide in Myanmar,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.
Burlington, Vermont, Mayor Miro Weinberger said in a statement that illegal aliens were vital to making his city “more prosperous” and “more diverse.”
“We know from decades of experience that newcomers to Burlington will make us more prosperous, more diverse and stronger, just as generations of past immigrants have driven our past growth and success,” Weinberger said.
In total, there are more than 550,000 American residents who are homeless nationwide. Meanwhile, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million illegal and legal immigrants every year — the overwhelming majority of which are low skilled workers who compete for jobs against America’s poor, working, and middle class. The Washington, DC-imposed mass immigration policy drives housing costs up for Americans, economists have found.
PHONY “POPULIST” BERNIE SANDERS
For all of Bernie Sanders talk
about leading “political revolution” against the “billionaire class,”
Sanders backed Clinton, a shill of Wall Street and the Pentagon, who
has nothing but contempt for the tens of millions of workers
devastated by the 2008 financial crash and Obama’s pro-corporate policies.
*
MILLIONAIRE PHONY SOCIALISM BERNIE’S LA RAZA SOCIALISM to keep the
“cheap” labor flowing into our jobs
*
Bernie supports immigration reform that will
address the legal status of the 11 million undocumented
people
(EXCEPT THERE ARE 40 MILLION ILLEGALS HERE ALREADY) in our country, protect
American jobs by way of visa reform, secure the border, and protect
undocumented workers from labor exploitation.
*
The website
states that Sanders supports a pathway to citizenship for all people who are in
the United States illegally, the Dream Act, “Visa reform” and border security
“without building a fence.”
*
Sanders also
voted for the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill in 2013 that would have given
amnesty to all of the people in the United States illegally.
*
According to the Federation for American
Immigration Reform’s 2017 report, illegal immigrants, and their children, cost
American taxpayers a net $116 billion annually -- roughly $7,000 per alien
annually. While high, this number is not an outlier: a recent study by
the Heritage Foundation found that
low-skilled immigrants (including those here illegally) cost
Americans trillions over the course of their lifetimes, and a study
from the National Economics Editorial found that
illegal immigration costs America over $140 billion annually. As it stands,
illegal immigrants are a massive burden on American taxpayers.

AMERICA'S ROAD TO REVOLUTION
"This dangerous power
vacuum has fueled frustration and created an entirely new breed of
disenfranchised voters who are fed up with the status quo. These are real
people, their anger is palpable, and it’s not going away anytime
soon."
Why Do Young People Find Socialism So Attractive?
Why Do Young People Find Socialism So Attractive?
To anyone over the age of
40, the growing appeal of socialist policies within the younger generations can
be confusing. To us, this nation's capitalist system has provided
the highest standard of living the world has ever seen, while
"socialism" repeatedly leads to totalitarian governments like China
and the USSR and destroys once prosperous nations like
Venezuela. One must wonder if our younger generations live in the
same world as we do. Do they not see the same things we see?
The answer to these
questions is a resounding no. The younger generations are growing up
in a nation and a world vastly different from the ones in which Americans over
the age of 40 were raised. What they see is therefore filtered
through an equally offset lens.
People over the age of 40
saw their parents and grandparents work stable jobs for the entirety of their
careers — often with a single parent earning enough to support an entire
family. They saw their parents pay into Social Security, and then
those same parents drew on those funds upon retirement. Their
parents had college degrees without debt. They could access health
care without concern that it would bankrupt them. They trusted the
safety and competence of the public education system. They trusted
elected officials to be honest and to obey the laws of the offices given to
them. If their parents failed economically, there was a familial and
religious culture that could combine with government programs to help them.
American children today have
largely seen the opposite. American
workers are routinely replaced by imported foreign workers and by outsourcing
to foreign lands. Immigrants and illegal aliens massively drive down
labor costs, requiring both parents to work to sustain an ever shrinking
family. Everyone pays into Social Security, but no one under the
age of thirty believes that it will remain in place for him to draw from when
needed. The cost of college is unsustainable. No one
trusts elected officials. Everyone feels that a single injury or
illness will destroy his finances for decades. For many of us, it
feels as if the prevailing sentiment of the now multicultural society is to
cheer for our economic failure.
The America of today is
starkly divided into two groups: a group that already accesses America as a
socialist entity and a group that pays for that system but has no access to it.
For the first group, America
is already a largely socialist government. Members draw their
subsistence from government welfare programs and can receive as much as $1,000 a month
for simply not committing crimes. Health care is
largely subsidized or simply free, as the recipients either have no money or
cannot be traced due to their lack of registration with the
government. Food and housing are often subsidized as well, through
federal or state programs. They
are also given preference in
access to education and
access to programs to offset the cost of that education. Many of
them who receive those benefits are citizens of other nations residing here
illegally, but they still receive both the preferential access and offset costs
denied to citizens and even veterans.
For the second group, they
and their parents have paid into this system through taxes for their entire
lives, yet they have seen few, if any, of the benefits to that
payment. They are on no government programs. While
violent illegal aliens are protected from prosecution, members of this second
group receive harsh punishment for even minor nonviolent
offenses. Any injury results in massive costs, and they are always
fighting to keep jobs with shrinking wages and no security.
To members of this second
group, the implementation of government policies that promise them at least a
minimal return on the payments they are making into that system is a relief. This
is how the younger generation of Americans view a "socialist" model,
and this is why they see potential in it.
To young Americans, a system
that promises minimal access to equality with other classes living in the U.S.
is preferable to a capitalist model that robs them of all funds, all options,
and all dignity while providing benefits only to other
groups. Access to a terrible health care system is still better than
one that will bankrupt you if you touch it. Access to a low-quality
but free university system may still be preferable to one that is inaccessible
due to race and will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars if you are given the
ability to attend. The guarantee of a poorly funded safety net is
still better than one that isn't there at all.
The younger generation of
Americans do not fear a totalitarian state, where they pay into a system in
which the benefits can be accessed only by those with government influence,
because younger Americans are already living in that state. The only difference
is that those who are receiving the benefit of their labor are not some elite
class of rulers from among their own people, but rather those who have the
political and cultural power to redirect that wealth. This is namely
a migrant class that has become the dominant force in American politics as well
as other groups that have been able to establish power to give themselves legal
preferences in education, contracting, and protections.
To pull the younger
generation back from the lure of "socialism," we must demonstrate
both that the rule of law still applies within the U.S. and reassert equality
under the law — without delay and without exception. The government
must also provide a minimal level of care and benefits for those who pay into
the system without allowing threats of violence to pull those resources to
citizens of other nations or to be used disproportionately on those who rely
solely on those benefits for generations without efforts to rise above those
benefits.
In short, the government
must cease working for others and once again work for its citizens and stop
calling that "socialism."
